Shion had gotten the box of chocolates with the note but he hadn't eaten any yet. He was trying not to think about what had happened in the Midnight Game and so the teddy bear had spent most it's time in Shion's trunk.

He saw a boy about the same age as him and smiled at him as he passed by, even if he spent most of his time here afraid it did not mean he couldn't be polite and friendly to others..

Leon paused in his stride when he saw Shion, despite that he normally would have passed without more than a cursory glance. It was just something about his smile that he couldn't shake.

He nodded his head in his direction, and moved to approach him.

"Hello."

[savedbyasong]

Shion smiled, "Hello! How are you?" He was glad to have someone to talk to, this place was so big he often saw people once and not again for a long time.

"I'm fine. You?"

Leon wasn't much for small talk, but he was just so incredibly intrigued by this individual and he couldn't pinpoint why. His pulse quickened as he regarded him curiously.

"I'm fine as well," Shion smiled, "Have you just arrived here? I haven't seen you before." He could still remember how disorientating it was when he had first woken up here, and always did his best to help those who were new.

[swordmastering]

"Yes, I arrived a few days ago. Have you been here long?"

For some reason, it just felt like formality to ask that. He wasn't particularly interested, his mind was elsewhere - like tracing Shion's features. He looked him over once, maybe twice, before his gaze settled on his chest. He had this overwhelming urge to take the man's heart for his own. It should be his, right?

Shion felt a little uncomfortable with the scrutiny but continued smiling, "A few months now I think... It feels longer though, it is hard to keep track of time here."

He smiled again, "Do you need any help? I can show you around if you like."

[swordmastering]

"That won't be necessary. I've done some reconnaissance already."

Leon's hand slid to his sword, and he casually pulled it from the sheath. His eyes flicked down to the blade as he tested the sharpness against his finger before glancing back up to the target of his affections. Not yet, but soon. Soon he'd have that heart he wanted beating in his grasp.

"What can you tell me about this place?"

[savedbyasong]

Shion smiled though he blinked when the boy drew a sword, he wasn't really afraid though because he didn't think he would harm him, Shion had given him no reason to at least and so far he had been friendly enough.

"There are twenty eight floors, including three floors with bedrooms. It seems to grow, with more floors appearing overnight. I believe the whole structure is much larger then what we can see, a couple of weeks ago some of us were taken to what seemed like a replica of this tower, with some differences, in the elevator."

He paused wondering if this was the sort of information that the boy was asking for.
