"Ah... you are Ikari-san, are you not?" Amariss asked, her tone and expression uncertain."I would like to introduce myself. I am Amariss, you new dorm mate. I do hope we can be friends!"
It had been a long day at the hospital. First there were clinical rounds, then a shift in the wards. After that, there had been lectures in the academic wing of the library. A break for lunch, then back onto the wards.
Being a nurse was wonderful, but Ikari hadn’t realized quite how exhausting it would be! Both physically and mentally, she just needed a nap.
Taking off her shoes at the entrance to her dorm room and leaving them by the door, Ikari turned to face her bedroom door and enter, when a nervous sounding voice broke through her thoughts.
Ah… you are Ikari-san, are you not? I would like to introduce myself. I am Amariss, you new dorm mate. I do hope we can be friends!
Ikari turned back to the other girl, eyes a little wide in surprise. So this was her dorm mate! Her old one had only been there a few days before she moved out again, and Ikari had been so busy she hadn’t even realized that Amariss had moved in. Internally she made a face feeling guilty. Even if she had been busy, she should have paid more attention, dammit!
But to the other girl, Ikari smiled and held out her hand, nodding.
“That’s me alright. Nice to meet you, Amariss!”
…..
“I mean ‘san!’ Amarmiss-san!” she hastily babbled, cursing her overtly familiar nature. Normally she wouldn’t have bothered correcting herself, but when it came to having a room mate…it was best to err on the side of caution and politeness.
