Cut 2

{Shiki is sitting on her bed. It's very simple, with no decoration or flourish, just white sheets and pillows on a white bed. There's a blue terry towel tossed over her neck, and her hair is still wet from being out of the shower. Shiki is also not wearing anything other than a button-up shirt and underwear, but this does not bother her at all.

In fact, what seems to be bothering her is the small container of strawberry Hagen-Daaz in between her knees. With one arm, she prys the lid off with some difficulty and peels the cardboard "wrapper" off with her teeth.

That's because the other arm is quite obviously missing and the loose sleeve is hanging at her side.

But it seems she really wants to eat the ice cream, despite the difficulty of eating it with only one arm. So she scrapes at the ice cream without a word, seeming oblivious to her surroundings, arm, or even her state of undress.}

[nods in her direction]

Your ice cream. Can't be all that easy.

...I'm managing. I usually don't eat cold things at all.

Mind if I join you, then?

{She considers it, taking another bite before scooting over}

Sure.

[hops off the plane, then reappears with a banana milkshake, and joins her]

I'm the Doctor, by the way.

Shiki. Ryogi Shiki.

{Another bite}

It's nice to meet you.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

And you, Shiki.

[takes a few sips of his milkshake]

You don't have to bring your whole bed to the Plane, you know. Plenty of chairs sitting around here.

I didn't think about it. And my bed is comfortable.

{Simply, after a pause} I'll just take it back when I'm done.
