Thirteenth Snowfall: narrow bands of moonlight, glimmering with floating snow

[juiceboxtopped]

[The snow is beginning to stick properly in Adstring, and some people are very happy about this. Among them is Rukia, who has spent the day out and about, doing the little chores one must do to survive in a place like this, on her way home

It looks cute, Kuchiki-san.

[juiceboxtopped]

Ah, thank you, Hyuuga-san! It's nothing really, just a fun little notion.

[hyuugahime]

J-Just Hinata's fine.

[juiceboxtopped]

Hinata-san then, forgive me.

[hyuugahime]

N-no need to be sorry! I mean ...

[A shy smile. Hinata has no way of knowing Rukia is much older than she looks, so for her it's just someone her age.]

((OOC : These two have far too much in common, I just realized. I mean, except for Rukia being adopted/Kuchiki by marriage, they're both girls who try ti fit in in their noble family and exceed someone's expectations.))

It's quite alright, I simply wish to address you as you wish to be called.

[A smile on her part as well, and though it's polite there's sincerity behind it.]

[There are differences as well, but it's very true! Clearly they need to hang out more.]

[hyuugahime]

That's ... really nice of you.

[juiceboxtopped]

...It is?

[hyuugahime]

Y-yes. A lot of people call me ... what they think I should be called. They don't really care what I want.

[juiceboxtopped]

There are sometimes people like that, yes...

If any of them are here I believe you have the right to tell them off for it.

[hyuugahime]

I-I don't know if I could.

[juiceboxtopped]

Unless they are your superior, why would you be unable to? Or is it simply that you do not wish to be rude to any of them?

[hyuugahime]

... They're my family.

[juiceboxtopped]

That does make things more difficult. But sometimes families must do things for the sake of the family, not ourselves, I have come to understand.

Which simply means ensuring your friends call you what you would wish them to is all the more pertinent, I suppose.

[hyuugahime]

My Clan is the most important in Konoha and I am the heir. I-I can't ... there are things I just can't do.

[juiceboxtopped]

As a member of the great noble Kuchiki Clan and younger sister to the head thereof, I understand your dilemma. However, perhaps...

Perhaps there are some things one might do, even in such a peculiar situation.
