Neil is sitting on the roof of the bunker, wearing a brown sweater with white stripes, eating a pear.

It's a nice day out: clear skies, no snow, chill but not too cold. That explains why he's not in the warm cosy kitchen.

And look at this, Anew is on her way to go look at that Gundam again.

After was specifically scolded by that Haro. It doesn't halt the fact that she is still being drawn to it thanks to something nagging at her in the back of her mind.

She'll never learn.

Well.

Naturally, when he sees someone headed towards Dynames, he turns around to watch.

When she gets there, she takes a walk around it, assessing the state of it and paying closer attention to detail.

"Hm..." She frowns, mumbling to herself.

*squishes*

He gets to his feet and walks back along the length of the bunker roof to hop off the end closest to Dynames.

"Excuse me," he says, unaware that he's stealing Haro's line.

(As for Dynames' detail, the most interesting part is probably the repair work. It's clearly makeshift, and in some places downright bizarre, but it's also pretty solid. That's what happens when your mechanic is a technical genius who's never seen a mobile suit before.)

"Hm?" Her attention is drawn elsewhere by another voice breaking the silence. She turns a bit to face who ever it is... quite surprised by what she sees, "Oh--! I'm sorry...!"

Neil comes to a halt, still holding a pear in one gloved hand.

"You wouldn't be Anew, by any chance?" He offers his free hand, which is also gloved, to shake. "I'm Neil."

/love

She looks at his hand... and then to his face... and then to his hand again before reaching out and taking it, "Y-Yes, that's right. It's nice to meet you... Neil."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

He shakes her hand lightly, then lets go, studying her face.

"Is something wrong?"

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"I'm just..." She pauses and shakes her head, smiling softly, "It's nothing. Please don't trouble yourself with it..."

But she's troubling herself with this familiar face, trying her best to pin her lips into a smile.

It would be rude to...

"I apologize for... trespassing, so to speak."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

Neil is quiet for a few more seconds.

At length: "If I had to guess, I'd say that you recognize my mobile suit - or me - or both. Which makes it my business, a little, don't you think?"

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

He's a sharp one, alright.

"I suppose that it's a little of both..."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

He's cheating. He knows she recognized Haro's voice.

"Go on," he prompts, gently.

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"It probably wouldn't make much sense if I told you," she glances back over to the Gundam, "There is something very familiar about this mobile suit. And you and that Haro..."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"There aren't many people who'd recognize Haro," he says.

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"I suppose not," she picks her words carefully, trying to sound as sure as she can, "I just got here the other day and I'm already more confused over familiar things than anything else."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

Neil gives her an odd look, but lets it pass.

"Welcome to the farm," he says instead. "Are you settling in all right?"

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"Slowly but surely. I was given a rather... interesting description of this place by the woman who brought me here yesterday. It's almost cozy if you look at it from the right angle."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"The woman who brought you here?"

Women he knows around the farm: Lucy, 95, Val... all of whom could probably describe the place in a way that can be called 'interesting' in that tone of voice.

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"Miss Val was her name, if that helps any."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

He chuckles. "I can imagine, then."

Although in his imagination, Val's description has more profanity and less omission of important details than it actually did.

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"But she pointed this mobile suit out to me on our way in. She gave me your name and I was a little intrigued by it."

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

"A little intrigued by my MS, or my name?"

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no, this!" Surprised, she makes motions with both of her hands over to the Gundam.

[neraiutsu.livejournal.com]

He laughs a little, good-naturedly.

"Why?"

[iluitu.livejournal.com]

"As I said. It looks very similar to one of the many mobile suits there are back where I am from," she says, her hands moving less and merely pausing to point at it.
