An Unexpected Catch [Social, Odette]

[Odette Delacroix]

She told her story and now it was his turn. He thought it was impressive that she hacked the digivice. Her smile would disappear as soon as she would hear his story. Her eye would look up as well as her head tilting up to look at him. He explained that he lost his arm in some tournament. 'Parter's'?' she thought as she only has seen one. It was against some person from a group called DATS, the monkey digimon blew up his arm and then when he couldn't move...he did far worse. He seemed to have gone through a lot, something in her heart glowed a little with warmth as she would then stand up. She could feel his anger, she wanted to hug up and tell him that it'd get better within time. If the other digimon wasn't here then it could only have led to one thing, death of his digimon. Odette didn't know how it felt to loose a digimon nor would she ever as the digimon (Chiwa) was apart of her. She felt nervous to hold his hands...What if he didn't like it? What if he freaks out on her, gets angry at her? She didn't want that. Her head tilted a little as she looks up at him, being in front of him. ''I'm...sorry, about your digimon.'' She spoke sorrowfully...as she then looks back down, letting her arms dangle against her sides as she was too shy and afraid.

A sad look washed over Hyde's face as he looked at the french girl in front of him. So she had caught that too huh? Quite a perceptive one she was. And for once, she even managed to show an emotion as she spoke. Though unfortunately it happened to be sorrow. He looked down at her eye. "Me too..." he said, before letting out a sigh and walking over to the lone bed in the room. Standard issue really. She could replace it with whatever she preferred. He sat down on it, slumping forward slightly. "The worst part of it was, there wasn't anything I could do to save him. That damn monkey ate him up after practically blowing my face apart. Can you imagine, waking up in a hospital, your face just put back together, learning that your vocal cords have been replaced by a voice box, and that the closest thing you have to family was killed while you were unconscious?" he shook his head. "I was angry enough to kill right there and then, even with my body broken and bandaged...and I still am now...just under the surface..."

She looked at him walk towards the bed, still standing herself. She listened to him talk more about what happened. She listened to every word as there was silence other than him talking. She wasn't so sure on what to say as she never really have felt that before. Chiwa was a part of her and well...he told her about his arm as she did his, but now she wondered about more. ''So...what about your eye?'' she asked in her usual tone, standing up, too shy to sit next to him. She couldn't even ask if she wanted to as she could feel her heart beat go a little faster at the thought. She knew how she lost her eye, Chiwa...her spirit in which was thirsty for sacrifice. Some could look at her spirit and think on how adorable she was, but she had a sadistic side to her...wanting people to suffer and sacrifice things that would cause one despair. On the other side, she was about to die if she didn't take Chiwa's offer.

Hyde blinked and looked up at her. "My eye?" he asked. When was the last time somebody had asked him about his eye?they just seemed to crept he only had one eye and that was that. A small chuckle escaped him as a small smile appeared on his face.

"Well, that was an interesting story," His eye took on a nastolgic quality as he looked over at her, "Tell me, you ever heard of Guardromon or Mekanorimon? Machine Digimon with jets on their backs, allowing flight. Well, I saw these guys and I thought, "There are other Digimon out there that don't have jet packs." So, I decided to try and install one on a Metal Tyranomon! Can you believe that? Well, I don't know if I made them too powerful, or didn't attach them properly, or what, because next thing I know, the big guy's flying all over the place, wrecking shit, and the entire place comes down on us. Next thing I know, I'm pulled out of the wreckage, with a chunk of rubble lodged in my eye. Hurt like hell back then, but now, well, it's kinda funny." He gave a small laugh, a complete turn around from how he had been moments ago.

Odette would look at him, slowly plops onto the ground as she criss-crosses her legs. She didn't want to ask if she could sit by him nor did he ask her if she wanted to sit, so she didn't bother. She listened to his silly story making her somewhat chuckle and looks down, thinking of how she lost her eye. It probably wasn't as silly as his, but some would think that. ''I see...and I should in return tell you about my eye. '' she speaks. She was an honest person, blunt and truly she thought it was right to tell him something since he told her something. ''When I was finally accepted to the digimon world, something within me was making me feel weak, almost dying. I honestly didn't care since I got to see this world...finally. '' she would start as she would get up, walk towards the balcony and looks outside. Her arms would dangle against her sides, thinking. ''I was almost dead next to some sparkling ocean and a spirit would talk to me within my thoughts. Sounds silly...doesn't it?'' she questioned, looking back at him and then forward. ''She told me that I had to sacrifice something, my senses perhaps...to have her power and to live. So I picked my eye...'' she spoke of next. She would sigh softly, finishing the small story. ''When I agreed, a rather large pin went through a rare flower and into my eye as it was vanishing into data...So that's how it happened...'' she spoke softly and soothingly, having a small frown upon her soft full lips.

Hyde watched as Odette slowly sat down on the floor. He was about to tell her she could sit on the bed with him if she wanted, when she suddenly spoke up, saying she should tell him about her own eye. Again, Hyde was about to object. I she didn't want to say it, she didn't have to. Of course, she got started before he could say anything, and simply decided to let her speak. So, her eye was the result of her spirit huh? Hyde had never heard of Digimon spirits demanding a sacrifice. But then again, he never asked any of the other spirit wielders in the company if they lost anything. He could see the expression on her face, and figured that remembering that time must have been bad for her.

"I'm sorry to hear that." he said, not quite sure what else to say in this situation. He then rose to his feet, offering his hand to her. "You know, this is your room after all. There's no need or you to sit on the floor. Come on." It wouldn't feel right, making the room's owner sit on the floor like that.

Sitting on the ground, she would still look down at it, thinking. She waited for him to say something, anything for that fact. She felt awkward till he finally spoke and said that he was sorry to hear it. Her eyes looked up while her head tilted up to look at Hyde. She saw him rose to his feet, offered his hand. He spoke of how this was her room, there being no reason for her to be sitting on the floor. She blushed a tiny bit as her arms felt resistant to grab his hand. She felt somewhat shy, but couldn't express it as much as normal girls/women could. Slowly her hand went to grab for it and as she did to grasp it, she could feel warmness. Her real hand grabbed for his real hand that was being offered, getting up. Standing up straight she would nod and look up to him face to face, as they were inches away from each other. Her pale skin would shine from the suns shining, her pink-red eye looked into his darkened eyes, while her full lips somewhat parted as to breathe slowly from them. Her heart was beating somewhat fast as she felt too nervous to move and too shy to say anything. 'C'mon Odette! I know you're not use to this but...' she was about to finish, but she knew that it was hard for the girl. Odette hasn't even been on a date before, has no knowledge on dating guys or even going out to eat with one. Even though she knew he would have no interest and she'd be too shy, it was the thought of it all that was roaming through her daydreaming mind.

And so the two stood there, close to each other, looking into each other's eye. The silence was thick around them, and Hyde was at a complete loss at what to do. Hyde had never really had that much experience with women, despite what other experiences he had. Especially with one as unique as Odette here. Dammit, why couldn't he say something!?

Thankfully, this awkward stalemate would end with the slow creaking of a door. Hyde would pull his gaze away from Odette to see Sable peeking in through the door, watching them. The Pawn Chessmon let out a squeak when she realized she had been spotted. Hyde quickly moved, rushing around Odette and thrusting his artificial arm through the door just as Sable closed it, the mechanical limb jamming the door open. "Oh no, you are not keeping us trapped in here!" Hyde growled, trying to force the door open. He glanced over at Odette, silently asking for her help.

Her eye continued to stare into his as there was a moment of silence. She couldn't move as she was like a statue. The awkwardness between them was destroyed by a simple movement of the door. Her eye looked over to see the chess piece digimon and then looked at Hyde. Did he not want to be in a room with her? 'Those two have a strange relationship.' she thought as she watched the two battle of getting the door open/staying closed. She could hear her spirit giggling, 'Awe, c'mon...it could be worse. The chessmon could be a female humanoid.~' she teased and laughed. Odettes eyes glared away as she would feel a someewhat jealousy. 'Oh please, like that would matter to me.' she thought back. Her eyes went back towards hyde, walked towards the door to grip it. 'Chiwa...' she thought as she would then dig her nails into the door and slammed it open. Her head would tilt down at the chessmon in her rather usual cold emotionless stare. She knew what the chessmon was up to, she bent her knees a little and patted the chessmon and then stood back up. Odette then wondered on what was going to happen next, Hyde was interesting.

With Odette's help, the two managed to get the door open, though a lot more forcefully than Hyde had expected. Sable stumbled back, expected to get scolded by the two. After all, people didn't appreciate being locked in a room against their will. Though she was surprised when Odette simply crouched down and patted her on the head. It was rather odd, considering she still had that cold, blank expression on her face. Hyde watched the two quietly for a moment, his mind trying to think of something to say before that strange awkwardness came back. "So...now that you've become more acquainted with your room, anything else you would like to do today?"

Odette Delacroix

She looked at him and started to wonder on what all to say. Her eyes then looked at the chessmon, thinking what she did as well. Her mind went in different places as she started to think. Her heart raced as she looked up at hyde, thinking of how close they were at that one moment. They were silent, it was awkward and she didn't know what to do. Her heart started to beat, a small paint of pink blushed upon her white pale cheeks as she would then turn away from them both. Her arms crossed against her chest a she would start walking away, stopped as she was away from them both. ''I-I'm going to just go walk away.'' she spoke softly as her eyes would close half way. She would then walk away, hiding her face while walking forward. 'I don't know what's wrong with me. It's...weird being around him...Is it that he's interesting?' she wondered as she would leave...

Hyde watched as the beautiful spirit wielder began to walk away. Was that a blush he had seen on her cheeks? "Well, welcome to the Wild Cards," he called out after her, "I'll see you around I guess." As the girl disappeared, Hyde remained standing there for a moment. His mind tried to catch up to what he was doing before she had arrived. Sable slowly reached up, tugging on his jacket to get his attention. "So, what do you think?" Sable asked. Hyde shrugged. "Honestly, I'm still not quite sure. I mean, I'm glad she's joining the group. It's just...well..." That moment in the room. It continued to stick in his mind. Sable giggled. "well, try not to get too distracted by her. I know she's pretty and all, but you have a company to run." She laughed as a bright blush flushed across Hyde's face. "Why you...!"
