[looking around the mall and she ducks into the arcade! also, lol no respect for personal space.]

That coat...in the summer! Aren't you hot, blond-san?

[imbalances]

What a shocking color for the hairs to be! You are a delightful child!

I am from the very cold place--it is rare that I am 'hot'. This jacket is very comfort!

[dreamsofteal]

Heehee. You speak funny, did you learn Japanese really fast?

[imbalances]

It is true--I am always learn! Language, culture, cookings. I come to this country Japan for teachings, but I am student myself. I am determine to make place for me, the guy, Konstantin Vasilevskiy, to belong!

[...*A*]

All of that by yourself?! That's so cool! I had to have a tutor teach me English when I learned it.

[imbalances]

Thank you much for the complimenting, young miss! I have learn from book and internet, though pronunciation I have had help from from other instructor at Gekkoukan.

.. !!
[ his japanese may be awful, but as soon as konstantin opts for english, it's clear as a bell. ]
You speak English, then, young miss? It is a difficult language to learn, but one that is much easier to speak than Eastern languages!

[dreamsofteal]

[Her English is formal and kind of awkward. :D; ]

I always spoke Japanese at home, so English was not as easy.

...You are teaching at Gekkoukan?

[imbalances]

That would make it very difficult to retain! Luckily, English was required of me as a class.

.. Oh, yes! As of this Monday, I will be teaching Physics.

[dreamsofteal]

I did not take a class, but had a home study tutor. This year is my first at school.

Oh! We can be new, I came to Gekkoukan yesterday. I got in trouble for my uniform.

[imbalances]

Then we are alike! I did not begin conventional school until I was .. fourteen years old, if I remember correctly. I lived in a very small village, you see.

How unfortunate! Students should be able to express themselves through clothing. I apologize that I can not do much to appeal to the higher-ups, being new myself.

[dreamsofteal]

That is very improbable!

I can see why I got in trouble! It is pink. Mother designed it for me to wear.

[imbalances]

Not necessarily. I studied in small, village-run schools as a child, though I spent more of my time working.

.. It must be very special.
