First Impressions - Jang Jin Ah (Nana)

[matthew arista]

Matt turned his head curiously to one side when he heard Jin Ah mutter something to herself. His curiosity however unfortunately didn’t take over being impatient. Be a little bit more patient, a little bit more patient… He chanted in his head. Why did he develop an interest in someone who was so indecisive?

Lucky or maybe unlucky for him, Jin Ah finally said something. Matt blinked a little at her request. ”You want me to get you some food?” He asked her slowly. Oh wow, no one has ever asked him to do that before. Most people were afraid that he might poison or do something to it before giving it to them.

Scratching his head, Matt shrugged his shoulders, ”Well I do suppose I can do that. However I don’t really know if I should be honored or scared.” He gave Jin Ah an odd look before adding, ”Where do you want me to bring your food to?”

[jang jin ah]

"You want me to get you some food."

He asked rather slowly. It was as if he was clarifying his disbelief rather than clarifying her request. Wasn't it obvious from the way she had put it that she wants him to 'fetch' the food for her. Or perhaps he had never done such act of fetching before he met her. Suggestive of a master's position rather than a slave's. The one who gives out the orders and not the one taking them. Alpha male species?

With one hand on her hip and the other cuddling her stake of notes and books, she tilted her head at him. Honored or scared? A Slytherin feeling possibly scared at have been requested to get some food from a Ravenclaw. Was he teasing or insulting her. Obviously he should be feeling honored. He was doing a request from a beauty. Nana was very tempted to ask him to bring her food, nice and warm to her common room. Ravenclaw's tower is easily accessible if one could use a bit more common sense to get through the riddled lock. Should she?

"Ravenclaw tower." She smiled at him.

Oh the way Jin Ah acted towards his words was rather adorable, but made Matt felt slightly stupid. Yeah he should have just kept his mouth shut about it huh? Of course he was honored well... as least he should be. The girl seemed to trust him enough already to ask him to bring her food. Changing his expression from a shocked one to a smile, Matt nodded his head.

"Right then, Ravenclaw tower it is." At least the boy could get into the tower once he gotten the food from the kitchens. Thank Merlin, Jin Ah was a Ravenclaw. He was rather grateful of that fact. He turned to go, but then stopped. What if the girl was just tricking him? This could be a ploy in making him leave her alone.

Turning back to Jin Ah, Matt asked, "Wait, how am I suppose to know that this isn't a plan to make me leave? Cause I'm not going to you know. I'm actually willing to go get you food and I'm not going to let my efforts go wasted." His expression and his eyes told the girl how serious he was.

[jang jin ah]

"Right then, Ravenclaw tower it is."

That doesn't sound like a joke. Was it a statement declaring that he...a Slytherin by blood and that culturally belittlement ingrained mentality, was able to penetrate the riddle knob of Ravenclaw? Or was he expecting her to wait for him while he obediently goes off to fetch them some food. Firstly, was there ever a snake entering the eagle's sacred towers? Whether by a willing invitation or forced infiltration? Oh hell no is she ever taking him in. They were split into four houses for a reason. Whether it was morally or philosophically idealistic, or perhaps some reasoning of politics, Nana couldn't care less.  

Her stomach let out a loud growl in protest at any more delay. She let out a sigh, giving in. "I'll just wait here." She sat at the knee high stone wall that arch to form a sort of glass-less window. Her legs crossed, resting her stack of books and notes on her lap, her hands on it supporting her blonde head. "I do hope you will return." She arched an eyebrow at him. Telling him in a way as to how she can trust him to return with her food untouched or poisoned.

As Matt waited for Jin Ah’s answer, he could tell that she wasn’t too happy with him. Why? Had he done something wrong to offend her? Or did she actually think that he wasn’t that smart to get into the Ravenclaw tower? That thought slightly hurt the boy’s rather large ego. He mentally shook it away. Sure the girl was a Ravenclaw, but would she really think that low of him?

When a loud growl pierced the silence, Matt glanced down at Jin Ah’s stomach and smirked slightly when she said that she was going to just wait here for him. Okay sounds good to him. He watched the girl walk over and sat down in one of the arches. Another smile appeared on his face and he nodded his head. ”Don’t worry, milady. I will return with your food. I may be a Slytherin, but I’m not that mean to girls.” Well maybe I am, but not right now. He added silently to himself.

Matt then trotted off towards the kitchen, looking backwards a few times to make sure that the girl was actually still sitting there. When he got there, he thought about what he was going to get her. Shaking his head for he really had no idea what Jin Ah wanted to eat, the boy just ordered the elves to make an assortment of food. Thanking them, Matt hurried back towards the sitting girl.

[jang jin ah]

Milady?

Well they are most certainly words pleasing to the ears of a female, but don't they always sound in such a way from those seductive male lips. Smooth words that comes glittered with sweet gentle promises of the stars and moon. A solid sounding promises of everlasting love with a shiny diamond at the end of it. The Slytherin boy doesn't look all too bad literally but even beautiful covers tell lies. The way he said he was not 'that' mean to girls raises some doubts and questions. Does it mean that he was generally mean and even more so to the males or the less unfortunately unattractive females? Is she to be his next target? His face doesn't appear to be bearing such thoughts though. 

Nana had more than enough time to mull over as she watches him off to where the kitchen was located. She noticed him turning back a few times, perhaps to check on her part of the promise. Was it right for her to wait? He might trick her. Should she leave? If he truly returned and came hunting for her, a well thought out and reasonable sounding excuse is in place. It's nothing a mind of a Ravenclaw can't conjure.

She decided to wait but for few minutes. If the wait was suspiciously long, she'll leave and with her demanding stomach, the time frame given is shorter than usual. Nana sat there with an unfocused look in her face, reanalyzing the entire meeting in hope to momentarily distract her thoughts on food. Another grumble from her stomach, "He's slow." And another grumble from her.

Now running, Matt hurried towards Jin Ah, hoping that she was still there. He knew that he had taken a rather long time at the kitchens. But he had a good reason to, for he had been trying hard to decided what to get the girl. After all he hadn't really asked what she wanted to eat. So he was his fault after all wasn't it?

Coming around the bend, Matt saw that Jin Ah was thankfully still sitting there. A blank expression was on her face as she sat there. He wondered what she was thinking of. Slowing down and coming to a stop in front of the girl, he cough and then held out the basket to her.

"Here," He said abruptly, "Sorry about the wait. It was totally my fault. I didn't ask you what you wanted to eat, so it took me sometime to get it. Anyways, I got you a variety of foods." Matt then grew silent as he ran his finger through his hair. Adding slightly awkwardly, he said, "Umm, I hope you like them."

As he stood there holding out the basket of food, Matt began to reanalyze their meeting. It seems that he had broken so many of his own rules. Why in the world was he being so nice to her? How can just one girl do this to him? Freaking "A", he had just met her, he couldn't possibly already fallen for her already!

[jang jin ah]

The Ravenclaw had no idea how long she had waited but she guess it was long enough by her watch as the monster was rampaging madly. During that time frame, her mind had gone drifting from her personal analysis of their meeting towards the spider that was making its way across the Entrance Hall. There weren't that many students passing through the hall since it was meal time and any hungry kid would normally have made their way right towards the Great Hall. However, for this hungry kid, she was sitting here waiting for someone she hardly knew. Entrusting the monster within towards him. Smart Nana..real smart there. She sat there waiting, hoping some random girl would let out a pathetic piercing scream at the sight of the not so scary eight legged creature. Should she transfigure it to be slightly bigger and scarier? The hunger was really getting to her.

"Here, Sorry about the wait. It was totally my fault. I didn't ask you what you wanted to eat, so it took me sometime to get it. Anyways, I got you a variety of foods."  It startled her from her growingly evil and bored thoughts fueled by hunger. "Umm, I hope you like them." A basket of food was handed out to her and it contained a large assortment of food. 

She titled her head at the sight before her. Was it because she was a girl that majority of the food were...feminine? Oh bother! Nana was just as hungry as any pack of wolves in a famine hit land. The boy was spare from her lecture...for now. Her eating choices would serve as an enlightenment to him. She dig through the basket until she found something juicy and fattening. Food that are evil to all dieting or weight conscious girl. For a person who doesn't gain much weight nor too highly concern about it, she have the liberty to eat whatever she darn wishes. 

"I shall forgive you because I'm hungry." She deemed it was sufficient as a thank you in such a state. She took that large juicy piece of drumstick, "Jalmukesumneda" (I will eat well) And dig in before she starts drooling. The tenderness of the meat and the juiciness filled her mouth at first bite. The warmness of the piece of meat was still present although the skin had gone cold and not so crispy anymore. "Mmm...Masittta" (Delicious) All food taste extremely nice whenever one is hungry. At every bite, the monster within her calmed down to a slight purr. Content with the incoming food.

At the sight of Jin Ah tilting her head towards the basket with a incredulous look on her face, Matt sighed a little and annoyance started to brew in the pit of his stomach. "What's wrong with it?" He growled slightly, trying to not sound annoyed. He had tried so hard to please this girl, and the only thing she can do was to judge him? 'Well, I'm sorry to have offended you, in ways I did not know...' He thought grumpily to himself as he watched the girl dig through the basket.

When Jin Ah pulled out a drumstick from the basket, Matt made a mental note to himself on that account. 'This girl isn't like other girls... she actually eats quite normal.' He nodded his head slightly to the comment that the girl made to him, taking it as a thank you. "Oh thank you, your highness."  He said back mockingly, the annoyance that had been filling him, finally coloring his voice.

Lifting his eyebrows up at the girl when she spoke Korean to him, Matt shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I'm glad that you think it's delicious. Next time I'll be sure to get you more of that." He muttered, showing off his nerdy side again. He sat down next to Jin Ah and watched her eat. It was then when his stomach started to growl. 'Bother... not now you dummy.'  The boy casually glanced over at the basket sitting beside the girl.

[jang jin ah]

"Oh thank you, your highness." She recognized that tone in his voice but she decided to let it pass since the food was here before here. No point arguing and if they did, the basket of precious food did be heading to places she wouldn't want. 

She took another bite at the juicy drumstick. Slowly munching on it. Savoring its taste, taking her time from one bite to the next. Mainly to not wanting to appear like some savager. The Ravenclaw rocked side to side with a childlike look on her face. The kind of face where children usually portray when they were given an ice cream or any sweet food to their liking (or demand). Any hungry person would feel blissful at the sight, smell and taste of warm food filling up the awfully demanding stomach. Like a warm fire on a cold winter's day or a cold watermelon by the beach in Summer. "Chicken always taste good~" Nodding to herself. 

While she was enjoying herself, she caught a familiar sound. She dismissed it at first but it was impossible to not catch the growl the second time. It was loud enough. The growl wasn't coming from her much tamed monster but the one next to her. The boy must be hungry himself. For a moment she had forgotten about the possibility that he too had not eaten. Her right hand still holding on to the drumstick while her left hand stretched out, offering the basket of food to him. "I can't finish all that."
