Chocolate and Hearts [Neseru/Open]

Standing before the giant doors was really rather intimidating, actually. The small 14 year old girl who now stood in front of it, flushing a bit, and a little frightened. The Titans had every right to want to beat her up and throw her to jail.

She set the box she was carrying down, pushing her bangs up with her breath, but it didn't really want to stay there. She silently sighed inward with a deep breath, before picking the box back up, and kicked the door a few times.

The box was wrapped in grocery bags, held a bit together by tape. Though the cardboard underneath it shown in places, and was crumpled together, it was definitely a shoddy job at wrapping. Though a tag was attached to the corner that had written on it. 'To Green"'.

Was some security alarm going off?

She couldn't hear it through her headphones.

It was only when she pulled them down and heard a faint pounding noise that she removed herself from the couch and made her way downstairs. Why was it that suddenly so many people were coming to the Tower? Or did this many people come on a normal basis? Her brow creased as she finally reached it, punching a code to open the doors. She slid outside, caught slightly off guard in her casual clothes with those grungy boots she wore all the time. She was about to pull the headphones back up and walk back inside, the song was still running, but there was somebody there who she didn't recognize. Not to mention how rude it would have been to just walk away.

"Hello." She paused, looking very confused. "Erm, can I help you?"

She knew it probably would have been an invitation for some villain to attack, but this girl didn't look like a villain. She looked small and, quite frankly, more afraid that Nessa was going to attack. She had yet to notice the parcel that Neseru carried, but she was focused a little more on the girl than what she had. Yet another hero skill that probably needed worked on, something told her in the back of her mind. Nessa beamed, trying to lighten the mood. "I don't bite, I promise."

She pulled the plug from her headphones, the sound stopping instantly. She smiled once more. Sometimes, Nessa seemed way too happy for her own good. And way too happy to be mentally stable.

Neseru stared at the quarry before her. Taller, which wasn't much of a surprise, and confused on why she was here, which was still not much of a surprise. She looked at the ground, relieved at least she wasn't deemed as a villain, but if they knew who she was, would probably wind up attacking.

She breathed inward again, and held her breath, holding the box between them both, Neseru was a bit defiant, and not exactly confident in what she was doing. The box's tag had moved so as to face down into the side of the box, covering the name written on it.

Nessa frowned slightly, almost worried-looking. "You okay?" Go figure that she had to play her usual role of talkative and concerned. As the other girl held up the box, her frown faded. "Are you just here to drop that off? I feel kind of bad just walking away..." The sentence trailed off and she crossed her arms, still looking quite perplexed. She didn't mean to come off as rude and oblivious, it just probably happened. After all, she had never met Neseru, she didn't know that she didn't talk. She was also unaware of any beef between her and Shift, or any of the other Titans.

After a moment, she brightened. "Wait! If you're gonna drop that off, I could probably be some sort of escort and take you inside..." Nessa, an escort? It was a comical thought that probably would have been severely frowned upon. She wasn't sure of the other girl's comfort zone with that thought, nor was she sure that she would have been able to prevent anything bad from occurring because she trusted the girl. She paused, hesitant for a moment, and frowned once more. "I'm freaking you out, aren't I? I'm sorry, I'm not used to... guests popping up."

She shrugged and cast a glance inside.

Neseru shook her head, and nodded, stepping forward, closing the little gap between them, compressing her shoulders a bit, and smiled looking up at Vanessa. She did want to come in, and try and give this to the green one, but she didn't know how to say that. She didn't know how to talk, or make a sound. She breathed in, and tucked the box under one arm, awkwardly due to its size. she flipped the tag, blushing a bit that it had been flipped, and held out the box once again, nearly dropping it, with the tag saying 'To Green"

Vanessa beamed once more. Was she scaring the girl? She couldn't tell, but she wasn't speaking. Maybe she just didn't talk? Vanessa found that unusual, but Jump City was an entire city of unusual people. She could drink anything and it not be toxic - that certainly wasn't normal. "Okay, I can take that for you, so you don't have to stand there feeling awkward," she offered, slowly and delicately taking the box. Vanessa turned to glance inside, then quickly jerked her head in a gesture to follow her. She smiled once more as she held out a hand to a fingerprint pad next to the door, shutting down the silent alarm that had been going off for several minutes. Luckily, it wasn't set to contact all of the Titans communicators when it went off, just anybody who was near any of the computer systems.

"I'm sure the others probably aren't going to agree with my doing this. But I like you. You haven't tried to kill me yet. And we don't normally have guests, anyways." She continued to rattle on like an obnoxious child. Vanessa took a couple of steps inside before pausing. Her brow creased as if in deep thought, and she turned to look at Neseru. "Wait - you want this to go to Ira- Err, Green, right? Just checking. I wouldn't want to accidentally leave it somewhere for Shift... That may not go over well..." The last part was said lower. Knowing Shift, she probably would have prodded her for answers as to where the box came from, and Vanessa may have to explain her way out of trouble about allowing Neseru inside of the T-Tower.

She paused once more, frowning slightly. "I'm sorry if I'm freaking you out. I talk a lot."

Neseru smiled, and started to step forward, to follow the one called Vanessa, pausing when she turned. 'You want this to go to Ira... green' to that she nodded, smiling. Very original, call one with green-fur growing all over their skin, Green. And again, she thought, /Original/. But who was this /Shift/ person that this girl talked about. The word meant nothing to her, so she didn't make any reaction to it. She nodded in an offer to lead the way, wanting to deliver it in apology to the one she had knocked out personally, to try and make amends with the Teen Titans, not that she'd ever join them.
