An Inside Joke

[jiadaiyu]

It had been about five minutes since the man spilled his tea, and as he was cleaning up, Jia could feel the man's eyes on her back. It was annoying the fuck out of her. She didn't understand why he was here of all places. The Northern Water Tribe was HUGE! She sighed and tried to ignore that urging feeling to turn around and snap at him. She wouldn't make a scene; not now at least.

She watched as the waiter, who she told to give the bill to the man, walked passed her and she couldn't help herself but to snicker. Okay, so this was the moment she HAD to take a glance back. She had to see his face for this one. He was going to be pissed. He wouldn't make a scene in this little tea shop again, would he? She doubted it. She giggled softly and turned her head around to glance over her shoulder at the man.

He was looking at the waiter, and not paying attention to her. He didn't notice that she was paying attention to him, thank God. She watched as his semi-serene expression turned to anger as he looked at the bill in his hand. She turned her head back around and giggled, but trying to keep the sound snuffed. She didn't want to be heard by him, and she definitely didn't want him to think that she had gained the satisfaction from this. She would just remain...rather emotionless.

Something she didn't see coming though was that he was going to actually walk up to her. She was sure he was going to yell at her, which would only make her seem the innocent bystander. Oh, that would be great; especially if he were kicked out of the teashop for making such a fuss. She 'didn't do anything wrong to this angry man'.

She wanted to laugh, but kept her face still. Once again, she couldn't show him that she was satisfied. She kept her face forward, acting as if she didn't care he sat down. Which, truthfully, she didn't. Not all that much. Only a little. Maybe more than a little? Oh, who knows.

The man caught her by surprise, introducing himself in such a calm tone. Well, that wasn't any fun. He said something about it being a surprise they met here again. She just smirked and laughed sarcastically.

"Are you sure it was a coincidence? Not following me? You seemed to do a lot of that before. Couldn't shake you off. Just like a little lost puppy."

She took a small sip of the tea in her hands, and she purposely avoided his gaze. She could feel that it was driving him crazy, which was all she cared about. She kept the smile from appearing on her face, keeping up her solemn facade. Oh, this should be fun.

Finally the two sat there without trying to flee from one another...or more like her fleeing from him. Koi motioned the waiter over for another cup of tea and continued his plot. "Are you sure it was a coincidence? Not following me? You seemed to do a lot of that before. Couldn't shake you off. Just like a little lost puppy." Her reply was still bitchy, but Koi grew to accept that in her. She was a bitch, but oh well. "Atually, I just got in town and I needed to get some supplies. He gestured toward his bag of meat and vegetables."I found the tea shop and I wanted another glass. But of course, you had to be in here...again.

She sat there drinking her tea still. Koi had this desire to get to know her, become her friend, but he couldn't understand why. She had punched him to the ground not one day ago in this very tea shop and still he wanted to get to know her. Maybe he was attracted to bitch. Or pain. Or bitches that cause pain. He couldn't explain it but he continued to sit there talk to her, as if he lusted for bitch.

The girl knew Koi'd name now, and what he was doing in the Northern Water Tribe. A lot more then what he knew about her. He wanted to know stuff about her, get to know her. So what brings you to the Northern Water Tribe? And why were you in such a hurry to leave? This place is kind of cool if you ask me.

Jia listened to him while he droaned on and on. It wasn't until he said something about food that she looked closely at the bag he was carrying. It was food. Something she didn't get enough of. It wasn't until then that she realized how hungry she was. Oh, wonderful. He had said something bitchy (almost as bitchy as she could be sometimes), but she ignored it. She couldn't let him know that he was getting to her. Not now. It's better to just ignore him, or semi-ignore him. Nothing wrong with a little antagonizing.

She looked away from the bag quickly, and sipped her cup of tea. Still hot. She took another sip. The cold was starting to finally get to her; not something she expected. It must be getting dark outside, and the sun going down. Definite explanation for the sudden chill that went through her. She noticed that the man went quiet and she looked over. He was staring at her. Well, that's not creepy. Not at all.

She wanted to throw the tea in his face. It was really starting to bug her, but she didn't want to start another quarrel. She promised herself that she wouldn't. She gripped her cup; it took everything she could not to throw it in his face. He was still staring at her. Stop it, stop it, stop it.

But then he spoke. He asked her questions. Wanted to get to know her. That's...strange. She thought over what she should tell him, and she figured it wouldn't matter if she told him some stuff about her life. She could use some serious venting at the moment. Get some of the anger out, and who better to take it out on, right?

She sighed, took a deep breath, and rose her head from her tea. She didn't look at him, but straight ahead. She didn't want to see his face; it irked her for some reason. She knew his name, so he should know hers. Even if he didn't ask for it, it would be nice to be called something other than, 'that bitchy chick'.
"My name is Jia Daiyu. Nothing brought me here other than a horrible mistake. It wasn't intentional, you can trust me on that. As for why I'm in a hurry, that's a very long story, and not something I want to repeat in the sanctuary of a little tea shop."
She spoke with a bit of formality, which she was sure he wasn't used to from her. Well, she hasn't spoken much to him in the first place, but what she has said, she knows hasn't been very formal. She rolled her eyes and sipped her tea once more. The warmth was nice.

[[Sorry for the suuuuper late reply. It's been a really long week. You know I wouldn't post unless I had a reason. xD]]

Jia Daiyu. Such a pretty name for such a bitchy person, its a shame. She finally spoke to Koi in words that had a hint of understanding in them, not just a vibe of get the fuck away from me. It was progress; exactly what Koi was looking for. He sat there sipping his tea and observing her movement. Trying to understand a girl who had so much hate, but so much depth. Some strategy had to get her to open up. Something that made her want to talk to him, something more sensitive then compassion.

She just kept sipping her tea next to Koi. He could tell that she was holding back a lot of anger by the way she was tensing up. And by the way she looked frustrated by the cool night winds that had just entered the shop. It sent chills down Koi's spine, and apparently Jia's too. He continued to observe her until he could think of a way to talk to her. Some way to get her to talk to him.

Koi couldn't help but notice the beauty that lay beneath her vibrant blue eyes. Her eyes told so much about her. Beneath her bitchy personality was a sweat and sensitive side; Koi could sense it. Her long brown locks of hair flowed ever graciously through the wind. Koi noticed beauty within her that he had never seen before, and by the way she acts, nobody has ever seen before. Probably.

He was finally able to speak, but he spoke with a dreamy tone, trying to use some seduction to get her to talk. Something that she probably has never known. "Jia Diayu is quite a beautiful name. I really like it. Your name itself tells me that there's a sweat and sensitive side in there. I'd love to see it, I'm sure many people would."
