XXVIII ✟ [Audio]
For all the talk which began to float around the moment trouble arose, such a commotion certainly died down quickly. I have to wonder now whether the same threats will begin again if something should happen in the future

Is it still dull now?

I suppose not. You have quite a number of injuries there.
[Tact? What is that?]

[Pausing for a moment, she then smiles brightly while laughing.]
Oh! Yes, I see. You must mean my 'kisses'. This is my gift from fire, Kaworu-kun.

I should have guessed that you would see such a thing in a positive light. It still seems to me to be a rather unfriendly gift though.

You don't seem...too surprised I'm a female. It makes me really glad.

It makes you glad?

A feeling similar to that, yes. I was expecting a different reaction. Aaaaah...it's been so long since I've unmasked my appearance around a non co-worker that I wonder if I'm just starting not to care anymore in this world.

Were you expecting a negative reaction or something along those lines? ...Sometimes it's easier to stay hidden by some sort of disguise, you can be what you wish without judgement.

[Just how HUGE does she mean by huge?]
Back in my time, it's not very common to see someone of my gender in my line of work.
...
Actually, my teammates back home don't even know I'm female. I've always kept the mask on because I thought it'd cause a lot less trouble and distractions that way. I don't understand males too well, but...they seem to litter their filth magazines out where any eyes could see them, so I assume they haven't caught onto me yet. That or they just don't care. Either would be fine.

Your time? It must have been a fair number of years ago to still have an inequality in jobs.
I assume that hiding your gender would make things easier in the long run; males in general tend to let their instincts of protection run out of control at times. Not that it really matters either way unless they begin to act strange so to speak.

I'm from 1968. What year is it where you come from?
Nothing too out of the ordinary except telling me to stop mumbling and take my mask off. I'm clearly intelligible with it on, don't you think so?

2015. A fair number of years ahead.
I can see that as being an understandable request, you can be rather difficult to understand with it on. Sound apparently doesn't pass through the material terribly well.

What is it like? That's so far in the future! Is there flying cars?
[Because every child growing up back then was told there was going to be.]
Do people live on Mars yet?!
[Laughing, she shakes her head.]
The other Pyro understands me just fine. Kaworu-kun~ You must learn hudda speak.
Reply
Flying cars? Not quite. It is however a technologically advanced place though, simply in other areas.
Likewise for Mars, people are still only as far as the moon.
[Totally skipping over the fact that a huge chunk of the world is actually destroyed.]
I must learn what? I assume that's what you call the mumbles the two of you communicate in?
Reply
They...landed on the moon? REALLY?! W-wow! Finally! When did this happen?
[Is only a year off from that event happening and so not expecting it so soon. Oh dear.]
Yes. It is a very easy language to understand. You just need to listen carefully. We communicate in English back where I work no matter what country you are from, so basically it's muffled English.
Reply
I believe the first landing was actually 1969. You certainly won't have too long to wait for it back at your home.
[Well... Surprise?]
English? A language i'm a little rusty on to say the least. It does raise the question of whether it's translated into 'common' here though.
