- the meeting -
Tora looked at the male kalon in front of her in shock, but then her face twisted into a sneer. "I'm sorry!" the wimpy kalon yelped as he leapt back and Tora flattened her ears. "Well why don't you use those glasses and watch where you're going?" Tora growled, her icy eyes rudely glaring into the other kalon's gold orbs. His cheeks were the color is sardonyx, brightly glowing compared to her dark fur. The blushing kalon mumbled his name, but Tora was still pretty salty with him. "Ishi, was it? Well, I truly don't care." she stated before turning to walk away. "Wait! W-what's your name?" Ishi feebly questioned, his golden eyes clearly expressing pain. The dark-furred kalon's heart dropped as she replied with the 'none of your concern card.' Pausing, she realized that she felt kind of bad for how she'd treated him. "Tora." she then turned away and tried to walk away, but Ishi wouldn't take a hint. "Ah- uh! Tora! Tora, Tora, toratoratora... Tanzanite, opal, rhodochrosite, amber!" Ishi nervously began to wring his paws together, his blush growing. Tora laughed, slightly intrigued.
Why would such a nice kalon ever want to talk to me? "You're a strange kalon, Ishi! Never had someone make my name into gemstones before. Kinda weird." "Ah um-- have you seen the Star Of Africa yet?" "Yes, I've seen it twice before. Quite a beauty that is." Tora's little spider, Muffin, crawled out from behind her ear. "Not now!" she hissed, just loud enough for the spider to hear before nudging it into her bag. "Twice? Ah, wow! I- ... I don't really get out much. Do you.. do you think you could show me around?" the male shyly asked.
Ishi sure is persistant. "Sure, why not?"
----------
- a friendship? -
The two had been meeting for a few months now, and Tora was much more comfortable with Ishi's perky demeanor. The female took a seat at her friend's table, talking about Ishi's stone collection. "This bit of jade has a vein of stone through the middle. I've only seen it in small amounts, but this one is pretty big!" she purred excitedly, turning the green and grey stone over in her paws. "Found it at a garage sale, can you believe it? Said they got it as a souvenir while on vacation- they only wanted $3 for it!" Ishi explained proudly. Tora's cyan eyes lit up with glee as she observed the collection, her jaw agape. The dark-furred female handed the jade back, cracking a soft smile. "Three bucks? Pfft... you could've spent that on chicken nuggets!" she giggled, lifting a paw to her mouth. At this point, Tora knew Ishi well enough to know that he loved his nuggets, but he only bought them for special occasions. Both Tora and Ishi paused, the female shaking her eyes from her friend to the gems on the table. It was Ishi who broke the silence-- ""Tora, do you know how to dance?" Glancing back at the male, she shook her head and sighed. Ishi's eyes glimmered in excitement. "Want me to teach you?"

- drama, dancing, and chicken nuggets -
Tora's paws fumbled clumsily around on the floor. "No, take a step back there, silly! There you go, just follow me. You're doing very well! Yes, good job!" Ishi instructed Tora, her paws fumbling clumsily around the floor. The two kalons moved across the wooden dance floor, stepping over where the table had once been. Tora knew that Ishi was a dance teacher before he quit to pursue his gem obsession, but he really was quite a good dancer.
Well... I'm working on it... "And what if I do this?" she slyly murmured, purposely stepping on her partner's paws. The female snickered, a smirk growing on her face as Ishi dramatically fell backwards. "Oh no! My dance partner has stepped on my feet! It's fatal, I'm going to die! Remember me..!" He threw his paw onto his forehead, flopping onto the ground and closing his eyes. After a few moments, Tora joined him on the floor with a thump. The male laughed, slightly opening his golden eyes and glancing down at his watch. "Ack! It's getting late! Uhh.. should we go out?" he yelped, jumping up. "To eat. Out to eat. Because by the time something's cooked it would be too late." Tora found her way up and brushed her fur off. "Eat? Where?" She laughed and opened her eyes. "Uh..." the male looked around. "Chicken nuggets? I have $3?" He gave a lopsided grin. "Ok. Chicken nuggets it is!" Tora grinned. Ishi fist pumped the air excitedly, "Whoo! Chicken nuggets! Let's go get us some chicken nuggets!" He then scrambled out the door, the female shaking her head with amusement.
