While looking at the view, Saki found a place to sit near a tree. She just felt the need to relax and the garden was perfect for the occasion. The view was gorgeous, and it seems like a nice place to read a book. She took out a thin book from her backpack and started reading, slowly traveling to her own little world in your mind again.

Saki glanced up briefly from her book and blushed faintly. She was still extremely shy and anxious around strangers, and this time was no exception. After bookmarking her place in the book, the looked towards Jens and asked as politely as she could, "Hello." Then, Saki unconsciously tilted her head a little and asked, "May I help you?"

The garden palace had seem like one of the sites to see, though Zane wasn't exactly in touch with his more cultured side he did think it was a good idea to get to know the place he would be staying in for now. At the very least it would be useful when he had to get on the run again, his father always managed to track him down somehow.
These gardens better be pretty good, that ride was dam expensive.
He walked slowly throughout a channel of Wisteria and other flowers that he had no idea of what to call. A field of Cherry Blossom lay dormant nearby, only waiting for Winter to start their full bloom that amazed tourists around the world. Zane realised he probably hadn't chosen the best of times to take a trip here.
He put on a brave face and entered the area where Saki was reading, at first he didn't notice the girl. To caught up in trying to name all the plants he saw around himself, his mother was an avid gardner though he'd never seen these sort of plants at home. except for the Wisteria and the Cherry Blossom of course. But they didn't manage very well in Hobart, at least not as well as they did in Tokyo.
He almost passed over her as a plant until he noticed that she had just turned a page in her book and he stumbled for a moment. A reading plant!? He shook himself back into reality and wondered exactly how he had been so stupid before asking himself whathe was doing just standing there. He normally was a rather social critty, just standing silently felt strange to him.
"Watch'a reading?" He asked with his irremovable Australian Accent.

Saki ran her hand through her hair as a sign of nervousness. Now, as another male approached her with a question, her panic button was pressed and now she is scrambling for an answer to the question. Saki thought to herself, 'Times like these is when I wish I have more skills in the socialization department.'
She took a look at the book that she was reading, just to double check her own answer. Never know what you may or may not fantasize when you are in panic mode. Saki looked back up at Zane and answered, again in a polite voice, "I was just reading Watership down. It's an abridged version though." Then, Saki added in a more startled voice, "Where are my manners, my name is Saki Araki, and may I ask both your names?"

Zane managed a cool sort of smile as if he completely understood Saki's nervousness. His attitude seemed to do that to shy people but he found himself liking such a reaction. It proved to him that he truly was imposing in some cases. At the same time though he found himself liking Saki, after all he had no reason to dislike her yet.
"I would say somethin intellectual now but Iv'e never read that book in my life."
To be completely honest the only books he had read were about Duel Monsters and the occasional letter from his mum, which wasn't exactly a book but was sure as heck long enough to be one.
"Would you mind explaining the story to me Saki, Im Zane, Zane Lucioi."

"Oh, but of course." Saki replied in an excited tone of voice. Whenever someone asks her to talk about her books, she always gets over-the-top excited. She adjusted herself in a more comfortable position and began recalling the story in her mind, and then began speaking again in a more soothing tone, "All right, let's see. First aspect of the story, there was a little rabbit named Fiver. Fiver was a seer of sorts and he foresees the destruction of his home. Along with Fiver's brother, Hazel, they went to the chief rabbit in an attempt to convince him that they need to evacuate. Eventually, they set out in search of a new home with a small group. After a long and dangerous journey, they found the perfect home - Watership Down, where they are soon reunited with the other members of their original clan. As it turns out, Fiver vision was correct and after their home was destroyed, they in turn proceed to seek out the ideal location that was in Fiver's vision. I will leave it at that for now, don't want to bore you."
Saki gave Zane a smile, as thanks for listening to her long-winded summary of the story. She asked sheepishly, "How was the summary? Please do tell me if there was anything that I needed to work on."

Zane smiled, the story was nice. If not a bit childish but all the same it was nice. He found himself liking Saki even more despite her rather strange attitude. She seemed to pick up confidence when he asked her about the book and so he kept that in mind.
"I wouldn't really know, perhaps you could lend me the book... if you finish that is..."
(Sorry for the short post, I g2g now but ill bb tommorow. In Australian time. Soz once again.)

"Nothing much" He replied. When Zane arrived Jens stood up. "Sorry I shall leave!" he began to walk away. (Someone stop him!)

Zan looked weirdly at the guy for a moment, to him he looked rather strange and made Zane wonder why he had suddenly chosen to dissapear. He stood there for a moment before he let childish antics get to him, he couldn't allow someone to just suddenly leave without explaining where they were going and why, could he?
"Where are you going, I didn't interupt anything did I?"

Saki tilted her head, confused as to whether or not she somehow insulted him. After mulling it over, she realized that all she did was ask for his name and then told a story. Maybe he didn't like her story? Saki, too, tried to stop him from leaving. She stood up, gingerly put her hand on his shoulder, and asked in a soft tone, "Did we do something wrong? If it's the story, I could do a better job at it next time." Saki looks like she is about to cry, since she thinks that she is responsible for him leaving.

Zane looked to Saki and noticed her strange sort of reaction to the issue. He found her reaction to the situation to be strange and somewhat too emotional yet he was not one to pick up on the issue. She seemed nice enough and he didn't want to provoke another emotinal onset.

((Whoops, guess I overdid it, sorrie ^^))
Saki shook her head and calmed herself down. Good thing she noticed Zane's stare or else it would have completely eluded her that she was acting dramatic. She tried to hide her embarrassment with a nervous laugh, but that didn't work well.
Smiling sheepishly, Saki said, "Sorry, my brain just went into 'It's Saki's fault that he is leaving' mode." She lightly blushed and added, "Really bad habit." After a moment of awkward silence that made her blush even more, Saki desperately tried to change the subject, "Oh yeah, the book." She smiled, this time with some confidence, "I can lend you the abridged version or the normal version. If you want the abridged, I can lend it to you right now, but if you want the normal version, that's at home so I will have to bring it to you later."

Zane, whom had been in a trance only moments before. Hadn't managed to hear the majority of what Saki had just said. He heard the word's abridged and normal and managed to figure out the jist of what he was being told and yet he still seemed somewhat confusewd by Saki.
"Sure... Perhaps we could meet up on Mt. Fuji later? Could you bring it then?"

Saki smiled shyly and nodded, "Sure, I am assuming that you want to borrow the normal version then." After thinking about it for a while, she asked, "Umm... how much later were you referring to?"
