[IC] Forgotten History

[Thorned Hammer]

"Hey". He said with a tired smile, visibly at ease now although he was still bbit shaken. It helped to see her there though, calming really and he needed that in the morning.

[Rose]

Rin smiled softly. "We should get up and get something to eat." She suggested after feeling her stomach grumble. She could see by the light shining through the curtains that it was late morning, yet all she felt like doing was staying in bed.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus blinked blearily, sinking back into the covers. "I suppose". He mumbled before burying his face in the covers. He didn't want to get up...getting up was annoying....

[Rose]

Rin smiled at his reaction. She couldn't blame him, it felt much better to just stay in bed. Reluctantly she rolled back over and sat on the side of the bed. It was only now she remembered she wasn't wearing anything. This concerned her less than it once did. Reaching to her backpack she pulled out an over sized T-shirt and slipped it on. Yawning and standing she walked to a table on the other side of the room where a coffee pot sat. After rubbing her eyes and scratching her head she started to make the coffee, all the while having to brush her hair out of her face.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus stayed face first in the pillow, his arms covering his head as he tried to get back to that deep sleep. It had been so nice and refreshing after the horrible nights his most recent ones had been. Eventually though he peeked out at Rin from between his arm and the pillow, glad to see her up and about.

[Rose]

Once the coffee had finished brewing Rin poured it into two mugs then returned to the bed. "Here" She said while handing Marcus his. Sighing and briefly wiggling back and forth she found a comfortable position. "One hell of a vacation, huh?" She said dryly then raised her mug to take a drink. With her free hand she ran her fingers through her short pink hair.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus rolled over onto his back, pushing himself upright when Rin offered him the hot coffee with an unintelligible mumble. Then he took a sip and, covering his eyes with an exaggerated yawn, said "yeah, you can say that again"

the morning passed uneventfully, neither of the two really addressing or acknowledging what had happened the other night from the murder to the incident in the shower. They seemed perfectly happy to just pretend it didn't happen.
So they went about their morning routines and managed to make it downstairs in time to grab something to eat before the kitchen closed and started preparing for lunch. With their last minute food they made their way outside to find something to do.

Marcus was currently tearing a bagel to pieces and swallowing hazardously large chunks as if someone was going to steal them from him if he didn't eat it all RIGHT NOW. Between bites he asked Rin what she wanted to do, if there was anywhere she wanted to go, but stayed clear of mentioning her family or the repair shop.
"Come on," He said after swallowing, already readying another decent chunk to inhale. "Theres gotta be something to do around here other then sleep in! Im still new here so you're supposed to be like the tour guide host person. So, host! He poked her in the ribs sharply with an elbow before the rest of his breakfast disappeared down his throat.

[Rose]

Rin was in the middle of munching a sausage biscuit when when Marcus jabbed her in the ribs. Not expecting it she coughed and sprayed biscuit crums everywhere. "Damn it" She said trying to swallow her food. After following him around and scarfing down the rest of her quick meal she was finally able to speak freely. "I don't know. I usually preferred to stick to myself and stay down at the beach. Whenever I went somewhere all I wanted to do was watch the ships come and go." She said.

[Thorned Hammer]

"you and the beach and your ships." Scoffed Marcus, brushing crumbs off his hands and shirt before sticking his hands in his pockets. 'No wonder you're half fish. It's not natural." Sighing he looked up and down the street for any inspiration as to what they could do with their day off, brow furrowed in thought as he hummed under his breath. "Quiet town huh?"

[Rose]

Rin nodded. "It's pretty boring here. Not that many people. In fact we should probably skip town before I run into someone I know." She said with a huff as she looked around. Suddenly her eyes halted on a certain building and a mischievous smile crept across her face. "I know how to kill time and keep people from recognizing me." She said as she changed her direction.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus arched an eyebrow in interest, altering in mid stride to follow after her.
"Really? And what might that be?" He asked with a grin, bumping her with his shoulder as he came up behind her. Looking over the building he tried to find some sort of sign or poster maybe that would give a hint as to it's contents

[Rose]

"Pick a color" Rin said as she walked up to the door. It now being obvious the business was a hair salon. Looking back at Marcus she had an excited grin. "Pick a color for me to dye my hair."

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus looked confused, as if not certain he had heard her right. Then understanding seem to dawn on his face and he grinned. "Ha! You really want to trust me with that choice?" He teased, pausing outside the door to get a look at some of the colors displayed on the posters. Truth be told he had always been fond of the particular shade of pink she used. But maybe there were a few other colors she'd look good in...

[Rose]

Rin stopped and gave him a stare. "My natural hair color is pink, do you think I care what color it gets dyed?" She said with a chuckle. She looked at the poster along with him. There were several colors she wanted to try but was curious which he would choose.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Alright then. That one.". Marcus said, pointing purposefully to a picture showing a woman with rich purple hair that fell down to her waist. " exactly that shade. Sound good?"

[Rose]

Laughing and shaking her head she looked over at him. "Alright, if that's the one you want. Though my C.O. will probably be ticked when I get back." She pointed out. He had already not believed her when she said her hair was it's natural color.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Ah just tell him I strong armed you into it.". Offered Marcus, holding open the door for her like it was a challenge. " after you,". He said with a flourish and a mocking expression.

[Rose]

"Well I guess I did say you could pick." She remarked. As she walked past and through the doorway she poked him in the ribs and grinned evilly. Casually she walked to the counter and spoke with the woman, telling her what she wanted done.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus hung back, rocking on his heels as he looked around the salon. He felt a bit out of place, not really one for hair styling, dying, or any kind of salon related things really. So he just wandered about and made polite conversation with a stranger or two before drifting back over to Rin to see how things were going.
"Are you really going to go ahead with purple?" He asked, looking over her shoulder. If she was going to take this seriously, he had a different color in mind that he thought might look rather nice on her...

[Rose]

Rin sat in the stylist's chair and tapped her foot. After a moment she saw Marcus walk over. "Well, I'm still willing to do the purple, maybe just not quite so vivid." She explained and handed him a color swatch. "Why, do you have something else in mind?" She asked.
