Raine looked around as they arrived at the old factory building. It felt cold and uninviting. No one else was around and now she was having second thoughts about Ridley. So he liked to show everyone this place? What if he planned on...? No, he couldn't have been planning that. "Yes." Raine replied to him, eager to know why he liked this place so much aside from being very climbable. If there was one thing Raine knew, it was that no matter how cold or dark a place or person is, it had character. |

"Alright, cool." He climbed up into the hole, using a slag of concrete as a boost, and helps her into the hole, as well. Inside the building was dusty, completely vacant of furniture or equipment, and had random piles of concrete and junk all over the floor. A subtle smell of garbage hung in the air, but since all the windows were open, it didn't smell as bad as it should have. Covering the cold concrete floor was a thin layer of visible dust, which had footprints and the like cut through it like scars. Across the ceiling were holes left over from the deconstruction plans, which inturn sometimes left large slabs of concrete leading up to the second floor like ramps. "So yeah, welcome to the best laser-tag spot in the entire fucking world." He cracks a smile and hops down from the hole in the wall. "It doesn't get electricity, though, so we can't use it as a makeshift clubhouse. The police come around here because of some of the gangs around here, too." He made a motion to help her down from the hole. |

Raine felt a cold chill as she was helped down. The building didn't have a lot of sun shining into it and she was only dressed in a tank top and shorts. She sat down against the wall and brought her one good leg up and wrapped her arms around it attempting to warm up. "Laser tag? Gangs? Police? Is this place really safe for you to be here?" Raine inquired as she watched him. If he was happy here she won't say anything else. It was too bad about the electricity though, it could use a heater of some sort. |

Ridley didn't notice the cold because of his running around and wearing his t-shirt and cargo pants the whole time. The cold in the building never really bothered him regardless. Because of his blue eyes, he was able to take in more of the light that the building had to offer, (it's true. Blue eyes are more sensitive to light) so it wasn't quite as dark to him, but being outside where it was bright left him wanting a flashlight. "The cops usually only come when someone calls for 'em. Like, if there's a fight or something and someone gets hurt. No reason to call them now, right? And the gangs? They're all pansys. I fought one or two of them in the past and won... not so sure about a third time, though. Heh." |

Raine's eyes widened when she heard him talk about gangs and fighting them. "That must have taken a lot of courage." Raine commented as she got up a little uneasily and started to limp around the room in an attempt to get warmed up. "It must have been hard, do you not fear more gang members coming back to fight?" She looked Ridley over and noticed again his lack of shirt. Her gaze turned away when she looked at his physique. He wasn't muscle-bound or had abs of steel but he seemed to be very fit for his age just like herself. Her gaze turned to the ground shyly again. When will she get over this? |

(OOC: Actually, he's wearing a shirt. Just negleted to mention that. Sorry. D:) "Like I said, though, they're mostly just pansies. Sure, they're strong and all that, but they just have no technique, you know? They're real slow, too." He bent his legs and held up his fists in a stance. "Just block and around 'em when they punch," he said as he did a quick strafe to his right, "push their arm away," his left hand pretended to deflect an arm, "and BAM!" He thrusts his right fist where the invisible enemy's side would have been. He chuckles a little. "But then again, they could just grab me by the collar and beat the hell outta me. Then I'd be screwed." He paused and looked at her to see if he had impressed anyone this time. "Oh, and in case you're wondering, I took a few years of tae kwon do." |

(That's all right. I simply misunderstood ^_^; ) As Ridley was explaining how he had beaten the punks, Raine imitated his stance a little. As he concentrated on his punches, Raine copied the movement while trying not to hurt her ankle any more. She simply stood in place and threw the punches. When he stopped and looked at her, Raine had one hand stretched out in a punch. Her face reddened and she dropped her arm to her side and shyly smiled. "Tae Kwon Do...does that not include kicks too?" She asked, tilting her head to the side curiously. |

A small laugh excapes his lips, and lets one side of his mouth turn up in a smile. "Yeah, it does. I used to be able to do most of the hard stuff, but just barely. I had to quit one or two years ago, and I haven't practiced at all since them. I was already pretty good with my hands to start with, so some of the self defense moves stuck with me. My legs are a no-go at this point." He demonstrated by leaning down to touch his feet, only to come up by about in inch from the top of his shoes. He stretches as far as he could, tapping the tips of his shoes before springing back upright. "See? I can still kick and everything, but it's hard to make them high and strong anymore. I'd just rather not risk it in a real fight, y'know? Having strong is good enough for me. That means I can climb better and hike longer." In truth, he kind of missed going to the studio, despite their money-hungry Master and dumbed-down techniques. |

Raine kept watching him and felt a little intimidated by him. She wanted to tell him what she could do but she couldn't really demonstrate it right there on the spot. Ridley was handsome and he wasn't afraid to tell anyone what he likes and what he does. He was proud of what he did. And Raine felt attracted to that kind of strength. "The only things I'm good at are running, swimming and painting." Raine murmmured as if what she did was inconsequential. "But you can defend yourself, Ridley. I can swim and run away and that is about it. You should be proud of what you can do." |

"Painting, huh? I was in art last year. I thought that I was an artist, but it didn't really work out, if you know what I mean. I passed that class, though, and that's what counts." He remembered when the whole class had put up their paintings for their teacher to critique his exact words about Ridley's were: "It's okay, but don't quit your day job, Landon." Ass hole. He noticed that her expression had changed greatly. He had to cheer her up. That wasn't any way to talk about yourself. "Hey, I fight because I can. Hell, I even have fun when I do it. Before those fights, though, all I really did was take their bullying. I ran away a lot, too, because that was what I was able to do. I didn't like it, but it worked. After a few years of learning how to fight, I fought back because it was something that I could do. If you're approached by someone who's asking for a fight, you can just take a third option and run away, because that's what you can do. You can beat them in a race. Make 'em sweat trying to keep up." |

Again, Raine listened. She listened and took in all his knowledge. "Make them sweat trying to catch up." Raine repeated as she limped over to stand in front of him. "You make a lot of sense." She said to him with a gentle smile. "I will appreciate what you've said to me today." "You rescused me today, Ridley." Raine said to him. There was another purpose to her jog that she wasn't quite going to explain to him. However, the log and his arrival deterred her from the goal. "How do I begin to express my gratitude?" |

Kind of taken aback by her words, he acted the way he always did. "No need to pay me back or anything. I never feel comfortable getting thanked by people. Long story." He slid his hands in his pocket and felt for his cell phone. Once he drew it out of his pocket, he flipped it open and looked at the time. Still the afternoon, and the sun's still way up. He didn't want to leave the factory just yet, but he wasn't sure about Raine. She might actually have to go home sometime. "I think that your thanks to me for... whatever I did... will just have to be being my friend. Lucky you, huh?" He chuckles at his own joke and mentally beats himself over it because he did so. |

Raine smiled warmly and leaned forward wrapping her arms around him in a hug. She closed her eyes and breathed a deep sigh. "A friend? All right, I'll be your friend." She replied to him. Only a friend though...? That was a bit of a let down. Ridley was probably too shy, she reasoned. They had only just met. Raine would have to be his friend and wait for the day that he perhaps does do something. She wouldn't mind. |

He reluctantly accepted the hug, but only used one arm to hug her back. It was kind of half-assed, and he knew it, but it was how he always hugged his friends. Either way, he didn't understand why she was so thankful to him for wasting her time away from home. Sure, she didn't exaclty want to have quality time with mom and dad, but then again, he never really understood women to begin with. "Alright, now that that's done with, I think that I should be getting home. Homework and all that. I'll walk you again." He was actually starting to get tired. Stayed up too late the previous night online. |

She was growing tired as well. When he hugged her back with only the one arm, Raine knew just where things stood. They were friends and that was that. She would learn to live with that. "All right." She agreed and followed him, holding his arm for support. "It's lovely out there today..." Raine commented. |
