Kat came into the house with boxes hiding her head (it was really only four) and stumbled into the kitchen. It wasn't that they were heavy, she was just being careful because the first two in the top were her glass objects and what not, the clothes unwittingly put on the bottom. She gave a bashful chuckle, motioning with a finger he dared to spare at the staircase. She felt embarrassed asking this but if she really didn't have much of an option - he had already helped enough.
"C-Could you guide me the right way? I don't want to trip and die going up the stairs." She joked, giving a small laugh. Although, in reality, that would be very plausible due to her uncanny clumsiness.

''Hey,we have two pairs of hands here,you know....'' Ali reached out and took the top two boxes off the poorly balanced load Kat was carrying ''Hmm...judging by the sound,there's glasswear in here..I'll be extra careful~'' he deduced and gave her his lopsided smile again,carefully balancing the two boxes in his arms and walking up the stairs first.
''That's that then...'' Ali sighed in relief and stretched after putting everything down in Kat's room.He pulled his messy side fringe away from his face and arranged it in some kind of order which only he seemed to recognise.''Is there anything else??Have you bought food yet?'' he asked,for some reason awfully worried over the girl.

She was surprised by the accuracy of his guessing to say the least. How had he known that she had glass in there? As grateful as she was for him helping out, it was something that was now an interesting fact she'd have to wrote down about him. But would that be counted as observant, logical, or just plain lucky? She shrugged. She had other things to worry about. Like what was just mentioned to her. Food. She hang even thought about food yet. And her parents were sending her money but it ha yet to arrive. Still, she wasn't going to trouble Ali anymore than she had.
"Actually, I'll be getting some later tonight. Don't worry about it," Kat put on her best smile and stretched just a bit, looking around. "I got it under control, but thankyou for the help Ali, I'm very grateful."

True his skills of deduction was better than the average person but Ali knows better than to always depend on it.Especially when it comes to human behavior. ''...Hmmm....well..if you say so.'' he shrugged lightly,looking around to distract himself from his suspicions to weather the girl was telling the truth about her food situation or not.He noticed that the window in Kat's living room gives her a view into his apartment's own....''Eh.'' Ali squinted and moved closer to window,looking into his apartment when some movement caught his eye.
There was nothing at first.Then Ali heard a muffled crash from his apartment.The noise startled him,but the surprise soon turned into exasperation when he saw a black tail twitching,the main body of the creatur just out of sight of the window. ''SALAD!'' he yelled headed to the door,turning back quickly to Kat ''Excuse me,I need to go home for now.There's a cat burglar.'' he muttered and ran out after a quick bow,then poked his head back in again ''Tell if you need anything!'' he added before running back to his apartment.
Ali was sure Kat could see him try and catch a black and white kitten through her window whilst yelling ''BAD CAT'' in his slightly high pitched voice.

Kat couldn't help the audible giggle that escaped her lips in seeing Ali run around his apartment, yelling at his cat. She didn't know he'd be a pet person either. Opening one of the boxes, she sifted through it to find a pen and pad she would be using as soon as she went shopping and flipped to the middle of it's yellow pages. In a quick-but-neat scrawl, Kat began to make a small list of things she found interesting about Ali. She did this a lot with her friends in her old town but even still, she didn't think she'd want to let Ali see this just yet.
When Kat was finished her list so far, the had written a grand total of five quirks about said boy.
1.) He rollerblades but can be a bit of a klutz. 2.) Childish and funny, he still has an amazing sense in the art for observing things. 3.) Apparently he's half-ninja. 4.) A cat person. 5.) Very generous and sweet.
Reading over the list, Kat smiled, jogging downstairs to pin it on her empty fridge and then back upstairs to start unpacking her things.

''Sheesh...you troublesome child...No tuna for you.'' Ali grumbled,flicking the kitten gently on the nose after finally catching it.Luckily,the crash from earlier wasn't from anything breaking.Bad thing was,the thing that fell was his precious Fender Stratocaster guitar.Nothing broken though~ ''Riight...now that you've had your fun-'' Ali put the kitten down,who meowed cheekily,and stood up ''-I need to make dinner...''
He prefered most Japanese dishes than Chinese.Ali was tired of it to be honest.Tonight,he decided to make fried shrimp and rice along with some healthy vegetable soup.With his fringe pinned back,Ali gathered everything he needed and tied his plain blue cooking apron on.
The basics of the dish was done quickly and Ali left the oil to heat up before he can put the breadcrumb coated shrimps in.Alistair grabbed a marker pen and paper,scribbling down a message and taped it to the window for Kat to see. ''Come over to my house for a bit,if that's alright~''
Satisfied with the message,Ali went back to cooking.

Kat notice the note as she finally finished making her bed. Everything was finally unpacked upstairs, the little figurines in place on her dresser, the bed sheets spread out without wrinkles on her circular bed, and the carpet was vacuumed. She smiled when she saw it, deciding that it couldn't hurt to come over and hang out a bit. She worked hard, she did what he had too upstairs. No reason he could take a small break and go over to her neighbor's house.
Slipping on her sandals and a hoodie over her apricott summer dress, she headed over to Ali's house. The moving trucks had pulled away by now so she could safely scale the stairs without a problem and knocked politely on his door, flattening her hair a bit. Kat didn't want to look horrible or anything. Appearance did matter somewhat to her.

Just as Kat wanted to look presentable,Ali also got out of his uniform and into casual clothes.He now wore a dark grey pin-striped shirt and navy trousers with the suspenders hanging loose at his sides.When the door sounded,he unclipped his fringe so it hung over his discoloured left eye and went to answer it. ''Come in~'' he smiled happily at the sight of Kat who was rather well dressed for casual clothes' standards.Ali gets told off by friends for his style critisisms sometimes...
''Sorry for being so vague but-''he ushered Kat inside and gestered to the dinner table ''-I figured it'd be nice to eat dinner with my new neighbor~'' he thought he didn't need to hint that he could tell Kat was lying about her dinner plans earlier.''Take a seat...I'll get something to drink'' Ali smiled and dissapeared into the kitchen quickly.

Kat blinked, feeling slightly guilty about lying earlier. He had seen right through her hadn't he? He sure was perceptive...Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing she didn't know. But either way, she was a bit thankful. Kat was also glad to see that He too tidied up. And nicely as well. He looked pretty good. But she wasn't supposed to think that - they were just neighbors.
Silly...
As she took a seat and took a whiff of the food, her mouth watered and she felt her stomach grumble in protest of waiting as he went to get her a drink. Everything looked so delicious, she couldn't believe he was inviting her over for such a treat.
"You didn't really have to do this." She said shyly, calling to him from the dining room as he lingered in the kitchen.

''And leave my new neighbor to go hungry for the night?'' Ali came back with a jug of cool lemon tea and two glasses,giving Kat a raised eyebrow ''What kind of guy could do that to a girl?'' he tutted jokingly and set the drinks down.
He poured the tea for her first then him,sitting across from her after. ''I wasn't sure what cutlery you prefered using so..'' he pointed at the chopsticks and western silverwear ''Please go ahead and eat~'' he pushed the plate of fried shrimp towards her,hoping his cooking was alright.

"I-I wouldn't have gone hungry..." She mumbled, holding back her smile of appreciation. If it's one thing she didn't like to do, it was inconvenience others and make them worry. It seemed to her she'd have to learn to lie a lot better until she got her money from her mom and dad. Picking up the western utensils (she never learned how to use chopsticks as a child) she took a careful bite of the food, her blue eyes widening slightly.
"O-Oh wow! Ali you made this?" She asked in slight disbelief. She wouldn't lie, it tasted great and it took ever reminder of hoe much she should be a lady to not scarf it all down in one bite.

Relieved that his cooking was good enough,Ali picked up his chopsticks. ''I only ever cook for myself,so I was worried about inviting you over for dinner'' he admitted with a soft chuckle ''Itadakimasu~'' he said quietly and started eating.
''Don't say you wouldn't go hungry...'' he almost pouted after taking a sip of tea ''I know for a fact that the shortest flight time from Italy to Japan is 15 hours and 5 minutes...you couldn't have eaten that much during the times inbetween...'' he started rambling and cleared his throat to shut himself up.With an embarrassed blush,he started adding sugar to his tea.
''....Sorry...I know a lot of random things...'' Ali said after a while ''See,I always wanted to be a detective when I was little...'' he laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head before going back to his food.

She was slightly taken aback by how matter of factly he said his statement, not expecting him to know how long it took for her to fly here. Truthfully, she hadn't eaten anything on the plane either. This was her first meal of the day - for two days actually. She had been so busy packing that she forgot to supply herself with a somewhat nourishing meal. But as Alicinfinued to speak she secretly wished she had brought her list with her. Taking a few more joyous bites she smiled up at him.
"A detective? That's pretty awesome. When I was younger I just wanted to be some sort of dancer. But," She shrugged. "I'm better off just taking over my mom's company when I come of age. It's what she wants me to do~" Her mother worked for a firm that was running a very powerful alliance with her father's company. In terms of business, they were considered to be quite successful. Kat's IQ was in fact higher than her mother -who was already sharp- so people expected her to lead the family to greatness, even of it went against her dreMs.

''Heeeh? An entire company...?'' Ali blinked,not even sure he can imagine what it'd be like without going for something stereotypical ''Dancing huh...I've tried that before,but I'm a but too laid back to go to rehersals'' he grinned cheekily and almost finished his rice.He was eating more than he normally does with Kat being here~
''Your future job is a little uptight for the likes of me but...I'm jealous that you have something in mind'' he hummed a little ''I'm a jack of all trades as they call it.Most of them are just hobbies...My future is still a mystery to me'' Ali sat back in his chair after he had finished. ''Gotsusousama...'' he murmured and refilled Kat's glass ''You can eat the rest~I cooked enough for both of us'' he smiled.
His diet has been poor lately so he felt like a hypocrite for pointing out that Kat was going to get hungry...

Kat shook her head, having finished nearly over half the plate and "full". She had a very small stomach for a girl he rage which is why she was so slender and petite as opposed to being curdler and more full like other teenage females. Not that she minded, she was pleased looking the way she did. So she pushed the plate away after a bite or two and swallowed, dabbing her mouth with a napkin.
"N-No, it's okay, I'm quite full. And I'd love to have the future be a surprise for me - it sounds more exciting than doing paperwork and meetings all day." She sighed, placing her hands in her laps as she thought. He doesn't know what he wants to be, he cooks, he dances, he wanted to be a detective, so much to remember to add. Despite that, she smiled. "Dinner was lovely, thank you Ali."
