Typical... thought Jeremiah as he settled into his seat at the arena. The posters outside had showcased something spectacular, but nothing even seemed to be going on today. I guess I'll just buy some snacks and try to find someone to talk to... He got up again, making his way to the concession stand. It was a boring day today - no Duels, no work, not even any training to be done - but the older Ookami was determined to entertain himself somehow.

Cross carefully made her way to the concession stand. She was here just trying to see if the storage area that Jack, Phoenix, and herself had broken into a while back ago was more secure. If not she was planning on sneaking in and grabbing a little extra snacks for no price. She turned a corner and bumped straight into someone, falling on the ground. Ouch... "Oh I'm sorry!" She said quickly as she picked up her lock-pick and put it in her tiny pocket. She looked up at the guy standing there and smiled sheepishly. "Care to help a girl up?" She asked with a slight grin.

Jeremiah smiled in return, bending slightly and extending his hand. "S'pose it wouldn't be right to leave a lady lying on the ground like this, would it?" he commented, not really quite sure that 'lady' would suit this girl so well. Still, the Ookami wasn't a jerk by any means.

Cross took his hand as he pulled her up. She smiled at him while dusting herself off. "Thanks." She said. "Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going..." She laughed slightly. "Little preoccupied mind here." For some odd reason Cross was being a little kinder and less Cross like... more Leanna like... What that was from, she didn't know... but Cross was still there with her goal to break into storage. She smiled. "I'm Cross."

"Jeremiah," Jeremiah said, taking the advantage of already holding Cross's hand to shake it. "If you'll pardon my observation, you don't seem quite so Cross to me." It was a bit of a rare thing for the boyish Ookami to incorporate such wordplay, but something told him that this girl might find it amusing.

Cross chuckled. "You know, you're only the second person to say that." She shook her head. "The first person I actually didn't like so much... Let's hope you're nothing like her or... him?" She was still unsure on what Rex was. "But no I'm not that type of Cross." She chuckled again. "At least I don't think so." she shrugged with a smile.

Jeremiah looked at Cross with a tinge of confusion in his eyes. "Her or him? I'm not so sure I want to know..." he said, giving a shudder that was a bit exaggerated. "So do you know what's going on here today? This place looked so inviting outside, but it all seems really dull today." He glanced briefly at her wristband and noted that she was Kuma. It gave him an idea, but he'd have to save the questions for later...

Cross chuckled with a smile. "Not a clue." she answered. "I was actually coming here to-" she stopped debating whether to tell him her little plan but shrugged and continued. "To see how the security on the storage here is." She said with a devious grin.

Jeremiah looked at the girl with an intrigued expression. "What a diligent citizen you are," he encouraged. "In fact, I am so inspired by your sense of awareness that I believe I should like to join you." He was sure that Cross wanted him to know what was going on, and he had nothing better to do. It all depended on whether she wanted a partner in crime, he supposed.

Cross grinned. "That sounds like an excellent plan." She said. Cross threaded her arm through and smiled. "Shall we go?" She was eager for some free candy...

Jeremiah chuckled as Cross appeared to be ready to skip down the Yellow Brick Road to the storage room with him. "Lead the way, Cross," he submitted. The more or less apathetic man could see the girl's constant upbeat attitude getting hard to handle in large doses, but it was refreshing for now. Who knew? Perhaps she would grow on him.

Cross smiled and started off. "So what brings you to the arena?" she asked as they walked. This was really an off day for Cross, she wasn't normally this- composed? She wasn't sure why she was in such a good mood but Jeremiah should enjoy a kinder Cross instead of the overly crazy one.

Jeremiah shrugged. "Just... trying to pass the time," he answered. "There's absolutely nothing going on today, so I figured I'd go see what there was to see at the DarkBright... which turned out to be a rather boring time until you showed up." Cross seemed awfully talkative, and Jeremiah found himself wondering if this was normal for her. It was pretty much enough to make him want to stick around to see what made her tick.

Cross nodded. "Makes sense to me." she quickly pulled them to a stop and jerked them around the wall, pinning them against it as a security guard went by. They were just going down the hall where the room was and Cross was getting into her usual mood. "You ready?" She asked with a grin as she looked down the hallway at the door.

Jeremiah looked at the passing guard, at the door, and then at Cross, as if to silently say, 'Do I look like anything less than ready?'. The Ookami was no stranger to sneaking around, and he knew when the utmost quiet was necessary. He could tell that Cross was an accomplished thief of sorts, which would explain her seamless transition from talkative stranger to all-business sneak. Just more to explore, I guess... Jeremiah thought.
