Bear With Her!

After reuniting Rina with her dad, they shifted back to their assignment.

Entering the costume institute, Emma became so engrossed with the garments and unusual jewels that dated back to the A.D period that she left Noah behind. She was amazed at the antiquarian women's dresses and started bouncing from one glass to another, in an excited mode, "Noah, look at this. OMG, they wore these huge earrings!"

Noah was delighted to see her enjoy the institute but their material was farther down. Shortly, she began to drift away from the garments as he dragged her away. While trying to retreat, he warns her, "Any funny movements, I'll be carrying you there.", she glares at him and quietly surrenders, allowing her to be pulled easily to their destination.

Sliding into the room, she stood there pouting as Noah left her alone. After being abandoned, her piercing eyes gaze Noah's every step, and mutter," I would have walked here myself after looking at the jewels." Looking around at the artifacts, she settles her immature behavior and starts jotting down notes.

Noah later looks over at her direction and sees her focusing. His eyes lost track of what was in front of him, and starting gazing at her, she so tunes out, sitting on the floor with her legs folded under elegantly measuring the size and angle with her pencil and sketches the weapon. She slowly pushes her hair back and makes a satisfied smile when things go her way. But he wasn't the only one that noticed her.

As Emma was getting ready to leave, she unexpectedly makes eye contact with someone who has been watching her on the other side of the display. His eyes were still locked on her as he got caught, he smiled peculiarly. Emma instantly got up in disgust and decided to Noah. After seeing her hurrying to his side, he notices her face gone pale, "You, okay?".

Looking back at where she sat, she notices that the man was standing where she had been, clutching his sleeves, "Noah." in a troubled voice.

As soon he heard her trembling voice, he instantly knew that the man looking their way had something to do with it, and fury demanded, "What did he-" before he finished saying, she mentions: "I'm hungry."

His focus on the man soon was locked on her, "HUH?!"

"Well,... while I was gathering my stuff, I saw someone devouring a roll of something. It seems like he was taunting me for not making any." trying to explain herself. Noah wary back a step, trying to process his thoughts, "You-" suddenly he lost words as Emma declared, "My treat."

After seeing his expression, she started going back to researching, but half-hearted this time and began suggesting breaks, here and there. But Noah, on the other hand, wouldn't budge, "Being partners with you is like being with a kid." shaking his head. "I'll take that as a compliment."

Later after checking her work, he asked, "Where do you want to eat?" Giving him the dirty look, "We're not in class but why does it feel like it? ...Let's go for a drink. I know a place."
