The Castle Connection [Giselle/Amelia]

Honestly had had some time since she last visited the place. What... two hundred years? Maybe a bit more? Thats what it felt like, but she knew it had been longer, thanks to how long she'd been out of commission. A soft sigh and a smile formed on her lips as she approached the place. A very popular tourist attraction, but with there was supposed to be a bit of rain tomorrow, and even though the weather hadn't rolled in yet, not too many people were out here. But all the same, the woman smiled to herself as she walked up towards the entrnace to the castle itself.

She'd spent all day training, as she had been for quite some time. Working on her powers, exercising. She had managed to grow more comfortable, but it wasn't quite enough. Candice was encouraging her, saying that she just needed to be patient. Which, of course she knew. But that didn't make it any less annoying. Hm.

Still, she snapped out of her own thoughts to notice a rather....peeved young woman making their way towards the castle. Her head tilting just a bit as she caught up and offered a light smile.

"Afternoon Miss~"

Giselle nodded and offered a tip of an imaginary hat to the other woman as they seemed a bit surprised to be addressed. Not that Giselle minded, she was always one to socialize and speak up especially at a place like this. "Sure am~ S'been a while since I've been here actually. I've been here when I was a lot younger, heh. IT's always nice checking in now and then, see whats become of the place. Besides, its a real nice hike!" She chimed with a big grin and a light pat to her own hip as she nodded up to the steps leading to the castle and into the stricture. Certainly if you did a FULL tour, it was quite a few steps.

"And yourself? Usually I see couples history buffs around. You into these sorts of historical landmarks?" She ventured. Naturally, assuming that the woman's interest in the place was academic.

Giselle nodded along to the woman's explanation, only to snort softly and chuckle a bit at the way that she woman promptly bristled at the mention of their date. "That right? Shame. Back in the day there'd be plenty of handsome lkords around. But well, things change. Still, plenty of fish in the sea. And it's the guy's loss." She noted in assurance. She paused, looking up to the battlements before looking back to the woman themselves.

"Giselle Gewelle. Pleasure to meet you. And sure thing! I don't mind, bit exhausted after my day as it were. But hey, don't get down. Wouldn't ya know, this Castle actually was built for sheltering the spurned." She noted with a knowing smile. Something that no doubt would raise a brow or two. After all, the history of the castle was something often gone over. It was built when a Knight was offered lordship after his valor in battle.

Eh?

Giselle blinked a few times as she took a moment to parse the shift in conversation. She chuckled just a bit and leaned on the nearby railing. "I mean, I figured we could just talk a bit about it. But hey if you wanna see inside, thats fine. And the Courtyard sounds nice." She chimed with a calm smile. Oh there were MUCH more interesting places in this castle. Some she imagined the humans hadnt probably even discovered yet. But she was hardly here to go digging and exploring places like that. Poor gal just had a showup, so she was fine going with wherever they wanted to head.

"So, how did you wind up becoming a teacher?" She ventured. May as well learn a bit about this woman if they were going to be hanging out. Who knew, maybe shed make herself a friend. Honestly she had been trying to be a bit more social, especially with how busy Candice could be when they weren't breaking stuff around the house.

She nodded along as the woman provided an explanation of how she wound up in teaching, Giselle gave an appreciative whistle in response to the part about her taking care of her brother and grandma. "That's quite a lot on your shoulders. Hopefully it's a bit easier with the little guy a bit older. Keeping an eye on younguns can be a real exhaustin experience, I'm surprised you got energy for the kids at the school too." She chuckled, pausing to let Amelia continue, at least until that sensation prickled in the back of her head.

Sure, she didn't have any special powers for picking up on things. But Giselle had been arounda long time, and as an ex-veteran quincy her senses were on the sharp side. So that slight tingle caused her to turn her head at the same time that Amelia had. What DID surprise her was that the woman went and tried to play it off. A slight chuckle as she tilted her head. "Aint gotta pretend you didn't notice somethin just now." She pointed out, gesturing back the way they'd come towards the entrance to the castle.

"We should head outside, You know if theres any shinigami stationed around here?" She ventured. She didn't get a very keen sense of ...whatever it was. It might be a hollow. Or it could be some shinigami fucking around. Maybe a human with powers. But well, you never wanted to be caught in a sturdy structure with hollows around. She could survive being buried back in the day, she didn't want to find out how she handled it these days.
