"Indeed it is, I'm Shizuma, it's nice to meet you Recita." said Shizuma with a nod and a smile.
To give his name was a simple thing for him to give. As he looked at Recita, he took in what he could from how she acted and how she looked and spoke. She was cool, calm and collected indeed. It fascinated him see that she was like this.
"Are you from around here, Recita?"

Why were there so many questions from the boy about her? It wasn't something she was accustom to at all even in her days in the academy, though she wouldn't have remembered if she did. She couldn't help but wonder where exactly this was going at this point. No doubt he was conjuring up questions while judging her based her responses. She, herself, was very guilty of that at least. "Give or take I suppose. Why?"

"Just curious is all...I'm from around here and I get curious about it when it comes to new people I suppose." said Shizuma as he reached over and took a quick drink from his coffee.
This girl was definitely an interesting person at least. It was said that the quiet ones always seemed to have something interesting about them. For Irou, it was a powerful skill and a deep intellect. The question with Recita was, what did she have beneath the surface. Well, if she wanted to show it anyway.
"So, what do you do for a living? If you don't mind me asking of course."

Exactly the thing she was trying to avoid. Terrific. She wasn't exactly new since she had been at Duel Academy which wasn't too far off but in a general sense if a few months didn't count as long then sure. There was no need to say that though. For all she knew, this boy wasn't as innocent has he appeared. Worst case senario still stands with her.
"Acting." So bluntly put as Recita had swiftly taken another sip of her tropical storm. Her facial expressions were still very neutral and posture rather lax. It was natural for her really. She couldn't help but wonder now if this was what she was like her past life. She couldn't imagine herself being an uptight goody goodie so she had to be. Kind of a random thought though.

"Acting huh? That always sounded like an interesting profession to me. Portraying other people, entrancing ones self and their audience into the emotions of the story. It must be fun." said Shizuma with a smile.
He sat there and looked at Recita interested in what she had to say. She was definitely someone that was interesting. Definitely so, with her being an Actress. he hadn't had the opportunity to know one or meet one for that matter.

"Not entirely. Its more like tricking others to believing what you want them to believe and being someone you really are not." That feeling was not new to someone like Recita at all, but that didn't mean she welcomed it. Even now, acting like she cared even a little bit made things tricky and difficult. But it was her duty. She had to hide who she really was from those unknown to the mysteries around them.
"And school is being fair to you I'd assume." The voice she used to say that was so casual as if she knew the kid before. It should be obvious that the jacket gave him away and Recita didn't think much of it either way. The woman shrugged while she moved the cup in a swirling motion in part to keep the flavor evenly spread in the drink. "I'd hope you're keeping your grades up."

"I am trust me...I guess the Red Jacket gave me away as far as what I do, huh?" asked Shizuma with a light hearted chuckle.
He took a drink of his mocha again and then relaxed a bit before continuing.
"Yeah, school is being fair to me, especially with the year just starting." said Shizuma with a nod.
The school year had only begun for them and Shizuma himself looked forward to what it had in store. In the meantime, he also thought about what Recita had said about acting. Yes those things were true but it wasn't everything to acting.

"More or less, but I think I can tell a student apart from an adult when I see one," she responded followed with another shrug. She finished off her smoothie and left it on the table for until she left the cafe. There was no other place to go that was peaceful enough and if she went anywhere else, she might end up with someone worse.
"But its good you can keep up with classes." That was as much she could really say at the moment. Again she wasn't much of a people person and didn't have much else to say. Maybe getting some R and R was something to consider.

"How about you? Do you attend school?" asked Shizuma curiously as he looked at her.
Shizuma wasn't entirely sure on age but the fact that he got corrected on calling her miss was a possible sign she was either fresh out of school or was attending still. As he sat there with her, he started getting more and more curious about this actress. Was she Acting now or was she being herself.

"Where are your parents?" That wasn't a fair thing to say maybe. Or rather, she worded it very poorly to make it seem like he was a child. She didn't care to reword it so she just left the statement as that. The answer would give her a proper exchange for the information of her attendance of school and then some. It would save some trouble at least.

"At home on the other side of the city. I came to visit them and I'm going to be heading out in about an hour to catch a boat back to Academy Island." said Shizuma with a nod.
His parents had been great to see as were his siblings. They all trusted him by himself and it was what helped him move about on his own during these visits. Though he did wonder why she didn't answer his own question earlier. It wasn't like she was a drop out...was she?

She sighed as she scratched her head for a second. Recita's tone sounded more neutral than it should have when reporting her own answer to his previous question, "Ah yes. Duel academy was it? I used to go there but dropped." And neglecting the fact that she could have graduated if she had waited one more day. The question had been answered and now she held an upper hand in the situation. Perhaps he had no idea what he had done but if any harm comes her way, she could now take measures. That was of course in worse case senario.
Later.
"Hm. Wonder why you're spending time out here than hanging out with your family. You only have an hour before catching the boat right?" she said calmly. She wouldn't know what it felt like to live with a family or to even have one. The sad thing was she never wondered. Perhaps it was for the best as destiny always takes its course and will not be halted on a whim. It was her own philosophy she believe in aside from the solitude.

So she did drop out...interesting. He sat there and looked at Recita as she asked him about why he had come out here instead of hanging out with his family before heading back. While he did like his family he also did like time to himself as well. It was nice to get back to his old stomping grounds before getting back into the mix back at the academy.
"Well, to be honest, I had spent the weekend with them, and I wanted some time to myself back home before heading back."

"Fair enough." People can be a hassle. Aside from that, there wasn't much else to talk about and there was no offer of advice since she had none. All she did was skip classes and couldn't even remember anyone in her year. It was kinda sad she had such bad memory yet was a spy back in the day... which was like only a year ago.

"Well, you went to the Academy right? So do you still duel?" asked Shizuma curiously as he looked at Recita.
It was at least worth asking. She did go to the academy after all. It was a good probability she dueled as well as acted.
