(Blue collar Bob off to save the day again. *laughs slightly*
Vincent jogged out of his room toward the woman.
"Here, let me get some of those for oyu miss, you seem to be having a hard time." Vincent extended his arms to take one of the boxes for her.

She turned to see Vincent take one of the boxes from her, leaving her with one left in her hand but she was now able to open the door.
"Thankyou,.....I'm sorry did I disturb you? I didn't mean to do so...." Her classy british accent was an obvious insight into her nationality, she seemed rather upper class in a way but why was she here of all places?
She opened the door and set her box on the bed of her room, cursing could be heard again as she seemed to have dropped something.

Vincent walked in with the box under one arm, it was an easy task for him.
"Naw, you didn't disturb anything important. Nothing that can't be continued later. What's on my mind now is why is such a well dressed, well mannered person like you doing in a cheap hotel like this? Not to be intrusive or offencive or anything of the sort, but this just doesn't seem like the place for you."
Vincent looked around. "And um, where should I put this box?"

Sofia turned to invite Vincent in as she picked up the books which had falen out of the box she was carrying.
"If you wouldn't mind could you bring it in here? Just set it down on the bed." She could feel her cheeks blushing as she picked up the children's books from the floor and stacked them on the bed.
"I'm sorry,...I guess what with my manor I look sort of out of place." She smiled brushing her hair back out of her face after stressing too much over the boxes. "I'm Sofia, thankyou for your help,....I guess I'm not used to doing things on my own fully yet."
She smiled softly as though to apologise for her out of place appearance. "I do kind of come from a distingusihed background,...but I wanted to do something worthwhile,....*laughs* hence all the childrens work books here. I am staying here until I can find an apartment near my work,....*Blushes* I guess I am kind of unusual,....I get that a lot."

"Oh it's no problem, Sofia. The name's Seph." Vincent smiled and moved everything where she wanted. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Thankyou,...nice to meet you Seph.....beg your pardon but where did you get that lovely name? I've never heard it before.
She blushes slightly and then shifted some of the work back into the broken box for the time being.
"I'm very sorry for disturbing you, perhaps I can offer you a drink as thanks for helping me out...unless you need to get back to whatever you were doing before I bothered you."

Vincent internally snickered. "What you were doing" sounded so perverted at that moment...
"That's actually a nickname my friends gave me back in the U.S.... It's the name I like. My real name's Vincent, if you're really honestly curious."
He grinned, she seemed nice, and rather cute.
"And it's really no problem, I enjoyed helping you. And I actually wasn't doing anything really important..."
His mind wandered for the moment again. This part of the conversation just sounded so perverted.
"Just some meditation... Getting ready for a big event that's going to happen in my life. Not like, marrige or anything, a big job rather."

She blushed again and spoke: "Well, it's a nice nickname,....what would you prefer to be called?"
She sweetly smiled, she felt rather awkward after disturbing him.
"Meditation,....but isn't that rather important? I am so sorry for disturbing you, I hope I didn't affect that much." She looked so worried.

Vincent laughed slightly as well. "Call me whichever name you wish. I doesn't matter much now. Just an identity, that's all."
Vincent smiled slightly at her. "And you need not worry about my meditation. It was an optional thing. Nothing to be worried about..."

"Well, how's about I call you Seph,....it's a nice nickname and you seem pretty attached to it....hmm, that name sounds familure." She pondered to herself and then blushed as she stopped talking to Vincent and left him just standing there.
"Oh my, I am so sorry,....perhaps you'd like to come for a drink, as repayment for disturbing your meditation, and for thanks for being so nice." She sighed and sat on her be as though fed up. " I haven't made any friends at all here...."
Blushing again she shot up and bowed to Vincent and huridly said: "I am so sorry, please forgive me, I shouldn't burden you with my petty problems,....when you have an important job going."

Vincent laughed and shook his hands and head.
"Nonono! You're not disturbing a thing! I actually have to wait for the job to come to me. Watch the newspaper, quite simply. It's already lines up, I just have to wait for the headline telling me it's here. And plus," Vincent slightly shrugged, using hand gestures to express himself. "Now that we know each other, I don't see why we couldn't be friends. I mean, honestly, who wouldn't want to be your friend? You're pretty, you're kind, curteous, you've got a great accent, and you've got great manors! I wish I could find a girl like you! Heh, last one I ran into stabbed me straight in the back... Bah! Now ya got me doing it!"
Vincent laughed, somewhat happy to finally be in some good company.
"Now for that drink you offered..."

Sofia blushed a bright red, and picked up her handbag.
"T-Thankyou you're too kind,...would you like to go to the local cafe-bar? It's been my sanctuary since I moved out on my own."
She smiled sweetly and felt rather comfortable talking with Seph, she'd lost contact with everyone she knew family and friends; now felt quite alone....it was nice to see such a friendly person.

Vincent nodded with a grin on his face.
"It'd be my pleasure to accompany you miss." He laughed slightly. "Maybe while I'm there I can pick up today's news paper..."

Sofia smiled.
"Thankyou, let's go then!" She said him, and then directed him out of the door and locked it one again.
She felt rather awkward and blushed again as she walked beside Vincent.
~I might end up liking this place after all...~ She thought.

A couple of minutes later they had walked out of the appartment building and round the corner to the retail streets, it was quiet as all the shops were closing for the night, yet the"cafe-bar" was still open, and it also seemed that the bars were opening fully aswell.
Inside the shop there were a few tables surrounded by chairs on the bottom floor, along with the bar and service counter at the immediate right of the room. There were a set of stairs going up to the smoking area at the second floor, to the left. Vincent follows Sofia as she takes her usual place at the left of the room in the corner, the walls were a soft cream and yellow, and the table and chairs were wooden. It seemed very much like a posh, student cafe....of course with the addition of a bar service too. The room was decorated with a few candles, some tally lamps, art on the wall and some music in the background softly played through a few carefully placed speakers.
The shop wasn't very full, there was another couple in the first floor, but were at the bar itself on stools. Another University student was in the first floor as he sat to a table on his own, a cheesecake and a cup of coffee placed beside him as he read his book.
Sofia sat down and motioned for Vincent to do the same.
