The shuttle carried Miyako Akane away from the training facility. She'd been sent to expand her combat expertise, adding a round of detailed sniper training to military repertoire. The young Neko's scores placed her in good standing, though she still needed a chance to take on live targets.

Rather than squeezing for a trigger, Akane's fingers ached for a brush. Her eyes scanned for paint and a canvas.

Her creators made her with conflicting passions. Beauty at rest, carnage when excited, Akane drifted between the two states. With nothing to do, she wondered what vista she could craft in colors. What scene could she draw from the abyss of her imagination?

She glanced at the other passengers on the shuttle, curious about what thoughts drove them.

One one of the seats near Akane was a girl with blood red angel wings looking around at all the others on the shuttle, when she saw the girl look back at her she gave her a little grin and wink . She was writing notes on a little notebook when not looking around but she had stopped writing while looking at the girl.

She got up and sat by the girl "hey I'm Taharial, pleasure to meet you acquaintance" she had a little giggle as she looked at the the girl.

Looking at the red angel wings on the smiling girl put Akane at ease. They both carried the crimson hue in a blazing brilliance.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I'm Miyako Akane."

Glancing at Taharial's notebook, Akane asked, "Do you mind if I ask what you're writing?"
 
Taharial smiled at Akane as she moved her scarlet hair out of her face "well I was writing notes about medical things, then it turned into guess the job, I just wrote things down about someone I was looking at random people then tried to guess what they did." She giggled "you looked to interesting to not talk to, especially since we share the scarlet colouring."

She smiled as she looked at Akane "so why are you on the shuttle miss Akane?"
 
"I just finished some specialized training and now I'm heading back to active duty." The Neko put on a shy smile, flattered that someone saw her as so interesting that they had to talk to her. "From the sound of it, I would say you're in medical transcription, since you wanted me to guess your job."
 
"Yes I am, I'm a Medic" Taharial grinned and patted the girl's head "I really couldn't read you, I feel really bad, but at least you are cool" she had a little giggle and blushed lightly. "Anyway would you like to do something with me?" Taharial smiled "anything you wanna do."
 
Taharial seemed sweet enough and quite outgoing. When she patted Akane's head, the Neko glanced up at the hand just after it touched her. She said nothing, though she thought it was a bit odd.

"The way you ask that makes me think you have something in mind already. You're a bit of a schemer, aren't you?" Akane let herself smile. She couldn't keep herself from liking Taharial.
 
Taharial smiled and looked at her hand "sorry about the pat, it was just being playful" she looked around "well I was actually game for anything, I was just thinking we do it together." She grinned and giggled with the giggle her wings flutter "why don't we play the guess everything about that person game I was doing before?"
 
"Sure, that could be fun." Thinking for a moment, Akane asked, "Were you wanting to check out other people, or did you want us to play off each other?'
 
Taharial smiled and thought for a moment "that is a tough question, I don't know, why not work together to find out about peopleby what they look like" she shrugged "I am sorry, I have done this with more than just me, so I don't really know what to do." Taharial giggled again and looked around at the others on the shuttle "or we could just talk and make friends" she giggled bit too loud as others turned and looked at them.
 
As others on the shuttle looked their way, Akane let out a giggle of her own. "I think we're doing fine when it comes to talking and making friends. Maybe not with anyone else on board, but they're just missing out on the fun."
 
As the other people turned back to do whatever they where doing, Taharial giggled and nodded "yea we are and I am glad we are, it is a rare thing to meet someone so interesting on a shuttle" she smiled and looked around then back to the girl "so what else apart from the game could we do?"
 
"We could make people play 'Guess our favorite color,' but I don't think that would last too long." Akane glanced at Taharial's wings, just to quietly illustrate her point. Still, the Neko laughed, glad for someone to pass the time with.
 
"Hmm I really have no idea what we could do other than talk about ourselves and lay random games" Taharial giggled cutely and watched the other people doing their own thing.
 
"In that case, tell me something interesting. Doesn't have to be about you, just something interesting." Akane put on an inviting expression, watching Taharial in anticipation.
 
Taharial smirked and chuckled "well I am a medic, but my nickname is the Butcher" she giggled after she said it "my skills were really bad when I started but I have become better since then but it has stayed."
 
"The Butcher?" Akane looked her compatriot over, but didn't see anything that looked out of place. From what she could see, Taharial wasn't hiding anything. "OK, I give up. Where are you hiding the cleaver and the meat twine?"

Taharial's explanation sank further into the Neko's mind. If the medic's skills were that rough starting out, then she must have lost or maimed several patients along the way.
 
"It was because of what I did to the dead bodies we practiced on, I messed up on a few of the first ones I practiced on, so I got the nickname from some of the people gave me because of it, so I just rolled with it" Taharial giggled and played with her hair a bit then the sword necklace she was wearing.
 
"Isn't that how a lot of pilots get their call signs? They do something odd during their first few days and they're stuck with the name forever?" Somewhere Akane had picked up that tidbit. She wasn't sure how true it was, but Taharial's story gave it a bit of credence that had been lacking before. "I can't say I've had anything like that happen with me. I just shoot things and paint, rinse, repeat."
 
"I think it is" Taharial shrugs "I am just glad I can actually be useful now as a Medic, so hopefully when I get assigned I will actually make a difference on the ship." Taharial giggled at Akane's statement "well that still sounds like a lot of fun, going around shooting things is always fun~."
