[Salvia moved through the halls with growling speed flipping through a handful of sheets, grumbling low to herself. Who the fck messed up the order of the script? It wasn't even stapled! Wow, she is working with a load of chodes. She quickly strode past the Apprentices who walked by, refusing to make eye contact with them even if they tried to nod her a smile. Seriously, these papers were a load of bullsh*t.]

Owen himself was organising papers, though of a different sort. He took slow small strides in comparison. It wasn't before long that two of these distracted apprentices crossed paths in the most obvious way.
A collision.
There was a little yell for his fall and papers dropped. He sat there for a moment, comprehending that he'd fallen a little slower than most.
"Sorry," he said after a brief pause.

"Aw, crap--!" [Salvia scoffed in frustration before immediately kneeling down to pick up the papers. Shit! Really? She continuously flipped the sheets over trying to identify the ones she dropped. No, not this one, not this one. This was it. This was not. This . . . no, it's a false. Damn it!]
[She only registered the perpertrator's soft apology seconds after he spoke. With barely a glance at his being, she rushed a delayed, half-hearted reply.] "Yeah, sorry about that."

The woman before him scrambled at papers on the floor. He dropped quite a few more than her. He took back the papers she discarded and helped sort them out. In the flurry, their hands crossed while grabbing one sheet of paper. He stopped.

[Salvia halted when she grabbed something that was not paper. Erm. Not paper at all.]
[Hah.]
[HAH.]
[Something like a cross between a high-pitched bomb dropping and the slow flattery of a whoopie cushion emitted from Salvia's mouth. Followed by puffs of snickering turned chortling as she quickly tried rubbing the laugh off her face with a hand full of papers.]
"Wow, what a twist--" [she managed between louder guffaws.]

She started to laugh. Owen let out a chuckle or two as well, pushing the sheet towards her. It was one of hers anyway.
"Hello Salvia." He said with a smile in his eyes. "I'm sorry. What's funny?"

"Ha ha ha--sorry. Just reminded me of a stupid scene from some stuff. S'all." [She slid out her hand away from the boy's and examined the paper they both reached for, her chortling dying down to bite-sized snickers.]
"Ah--have we met before?" [She briefly glanced over the boy head to toe, having heard her name with some skeptical curiousity. Does she recognize him? She's not entirely sure. She looked over another piece of paper and handed it to him, deeming it was not hers.]

From stuff huh? Probably TV or something. Owen didn't watch many things but he did know a lot. This scenario was familiar...
"We met a few times." He passed papers back and forth, noticing what was on hers. "You have a few of these. What are these?"

Radio show? Ah, that's right. Salvia hosted the show at HQ. Her voice was very memorable indeed.
He looked at his papers for a moment. "Reap orders." He said. "And bird papers." He picked up more as he talked. "More bird papers though."

[Salvia propped up the stack of papers she has now and tapped its bottom on the floor, trying to straighten the stack. Bird papers, huh?] "You work as a Birdkeeper?" [she guessed. She was no detective. Neither has she really come across or spoke with a Birdkeeper before. He didn't smell like bird poop or anything though, which was perfectly fine with her.]

"Yes I do, Salvia." He hadn't gone in for the day, that's why. "I'm going to my shift now." He explained, sorting out whatever papers he had on him so far. The bird files were at least twice the size of the reap order pile. He had to pull up his long sleeves to do so, revealing many neon plasters on his fingers and hands. "Are you going to your shift now?"

"Ah. Same here. Sorry, shoulda watched where I was going." [The curtain reveal stirred up surprise; she didn't think the pallid boy would be so interested in colors.] "Nice rainbow there."

It took him a second or two to register what she meant. "Oh," he said, raising his hand to his eyes and observing the collection of colours on his hands. "Thank you. I like rainbows. Rainbows are nice to look at." He then put his hand spread out in front of Salvia's eyes, as if to show her a ring he had on his finger.
He noticed the little spark in her eyes. He was full of surprises, apparently. He didn't really care by now. Most people didn't expect him to be an almost normal kid inside anyway.

"That so, huh? My teammate also likes rainbows a lot." [She chuckled at the thought of Owen and Maxwell meeting.] "You two might get along. He'll probably use you as a canvas though."
[The scattered papers on the floor diminished a lot by now. Salvia stood up to grab the sheets further from her reach.] "I'm guessing the birds bite a lot, or do you get that many papercuts?" [she asked, glancing again at the amount of plasters the boy had.]
