Meet and Greet Part Deux: The Socialing

The new people will find themselves ushered out of Obs Deck, so it can be shot down to the planet again, to pick the crew up. Eventually, the crew members on the mission are brought back up, and the doors open to let the two groups meet.

The newbies are likely not expecting their new crew-mates to come back bearing presents--which some of them are.

[ooc: This time anyone can post in. REMEMBER TO TAG OTHER PEOPLE, THO. This is set after the mission so mission peoples can meet the newbies. Latecomer newbies, if you want, you can just tag your guys into this one to make things easier.]

Kelly had no idea. With a bag, Sherry could carry so much more than she usually did First Aid Sprays, more herbs, maybe Leon could teach her the proper way to pack things for maximum efficiency.... And considering the messes she and the other kidlets were bound to find themselves in, it would definitely come in handy for more than just books. "I like them a lot!"

Never had truer words been spoken. Sherry shifted awkwardly, and sized Kelly up.

Okay. Hug time. Ready? Three, two, one!

She figured, a bag was useful. Since well, Sherry seemed the type who would appreciate it. Had she known the use the girl would get out of it though, she would have been greatly impressed. Really, how many twelve-year-olds thought that way? "I'm glad you do."

She smiled easily, and when she was hugged, she paused for a moment. It wasn't a gesture she was all too familiar with, but it gave her a queer sort of pang in her chest. Weird. Smiling, she reached down to scoop the girl off the floor and hold her easily in a gentle hug. "And thank you for that."

"Whoa..!" Sherry's expression was one of surprise as she was suddenly a lot higher in the air than she was ordinarily used to. Not even her father could lift her this high (what with there being nearly 2 feet of difference in this case). "You're, uh, you're welcome?"

She smiled, not letting the girl down just yet, letting her rest in the crook of her arm as if she were nothing more than a toddler. "Sorry if I scared you." Really, she wasn't used to hugs, so maybe she'd gone a bit overboard, but really, it wasn't fair if Sherry could only hug her around her waist, was it?

"You didn't scare me," Sherry clarified. "But I didn't expect to be so high up. I'm fine." As such, the little girl kept her arms on Kelly's shoulders and hung on for dear life. A thought stumbled into her head, and traveled unbidden to her lips, "...Can you run like this?"

"Well that's good." She wasn't surprised when the girl said things like that anymore. In fact, she'd almost come to expect them. She knew Sherry had spunk. She didn't mind being clung to, though she did shift her grip a little to make her charge a little more comfortable. At Sherry's question though, she tilted her head, a smile curving her lips.

"Yes I'm quite sure I could. Why do you ask?"
