8th Case - [Action]

[Action]

[Since today is a nice day in Luceti, and since Souji is back and resting, Naoto has decided to spend it outside of the apartment and wondering around the village.

In the morning, around 11, she'll be heading towards the battle dome to kick some ass, though now she's making it a regular thing so she's there almost daily.  She's gotten

Must be nice up there! [Calling up to the person sitting atop the trees, she was just off taking her daily stroll through Luceti, really.] How's your book coming along? [Large, cheesy smile coming your way!]

[fortune_prince]

[...Oh, someone's talking to her. Naoto takes a look down to see a new yet...strangely familiar face]

I've only just begun to read it, though it's quite interesting so far. Who might you be?

[arcanaxxii]

Name's Minako! What's yours?

[fortune_prince]

Naoto Shirogane. [Time to close the book] Have I met you before?

[arcanaxxii]

Mm... [A beat.] I don't think so. [She'll pause again, placing a finger under her chin to think.] Oh! You must be talking about my brother, right?

[fortune_prince]

Your brother? Who would that be? [She climbs down the tree and lands in front of Minako]

[arcanaxxii]

Arisato Minato! [She seems to almost swell in pride at this, even.] He's my twin, so that might be why I seem familiar!

[fortune_prince]

Minato-san is your twin brother? [This surprises her, she had no idea he had a sister] I suppose that does explain it.

[arcanaxxii]

[A giggle, as if it's all expected.] We don't look that alike, do we? We're practically opposites in regards to colours!

[fortune_prince]

You both have your differences in appearance though you do look related in some ways. [At least for Naoto it's easy to tell]

[arcanaxxii]

You're one of the few people to say so! As for myself, I'd probably be doubtful. In any case, what was the title of the book you were reading? I've been looking for ways to burn time myself.

[fortune_prince]

It's your facial structure that gives it away. [She shows the book cover to her] "Sherlock Holmes". Old, though I must say it's a favorite of mine.

[arcanaxxii]

I guess! [At this, it's like a light bulb clicks somewhere in her head.] Mmm? I can't say I'm not surprised! You seem like a detective-type yourself. You're quite the observant person!

[fortune_prince]

[A chuckle] I am a detective so I have to be observant during a case. It's become a habit of mine to look at everything closely.

[arcanaxxii]

You are? [Bliiiink.] That's so cool! And you seem like you're around my age!

[fortune_prince]

[She flusters a bit from the compliment] I'm not quite where I want to be as a detective yet. But I'm 16 years old now. [Since her birthday just passed and all]
