[19] Nazo no Shounen? (Mysterious boy?) [Open action log]

[kazeno_youni]

[Gym, music, math, science, English... H-History. Haruka looked down at her finals schedule and sighed. Sitting on the branch of a big tree during lunch, she closed her cellphone and leaned against the trunk with her arms crossed behind her head. She glanced towards her school and began to think

Action Pooooost (dunno if Shahrazad would GO with a "boy")

[mercifulsun]

[She did well in the Gym and History finals that was for sure. Shahrazad took a break and jogged outside her campus. She had her backpack with her Science book and a fruit salad packed to study in the outdoors bliss. She enjoyed the sun so much, reading with artificial light in a Hall couldn't compare.

As she distanced from Westerberg green area, she went to a solitary spot with comfortable trees to lean on. She was surprised to see that was already occupied!]

Aah! I didn't know this spot was taken already. Sorry!

Action Pooooost (lol either way is fine~<3)

[kazeno_youni]

[She sensed the change in the wind and averted her eyes the other way. Spotting a cute girl come her way, Haruka tilted her head and smirked. She sat up and quickly dropped down from the tree.]

It's all right. You're more than welcome to take this spot. [She patted any leaves off her uniform as she met eyes with her and smiled.]

Action Pooooost

[mercifulsun]

How kind. Thank you!

[She smiled brightly at the gentlemanly boy and took a seat. That uniform...]

Are you from Cutlers?

Action Pooooost

[kazeno_youni]

Yea. How about you? Westerberg, I take it?

Action Pooooost

[mercifulsun]

Yes. My parents wanted me to study in Trinity Hall but when they passed away, my uncle decided that I should benefit more of public instruction.

Action Pooooost

[kazeno_youni]

I see. [An expression of sympathy across her face.] What's your dream?

Action Pooooost

[mercifulsun]

Don't look at me like that! I enjoy the school and I agree with my uncle. I don't wish to be pampered.

[Smiles reassuringly.]

Oh- I haven't thought about it, but I enjoy protecting people.

Action Pooooost (ahhhh sorry, Lore~ -; ;-!!! I didn't realize it was my tag OTL <3?

[kazeno_youni]

Strong, aren't you? [Haruka returned the same smile. Hearing her next line, she narrowed her eyes as she approached closer.]

Protecting people, huh? So, you're one of those people who likes to play hero.

Action Pooooost

[mercifulsun]

Play?

[Shahrazad shook her head and answered seriously.]

I don't see that as a game.

Action Pooooost

[kazeno_youni]

Really now? [She stood inches away face to face.]

Then a beautiful girl like you should be careful or you might get hurt playing in the big leagues. And who are you aiming to protect?

Action Pooooost

[mercifulsun]

I am not fragile by any standards.

[She faced proudly.]

I want to follow my uncle's footsteps.

Action Pooooost

[kazeno_youni]

True, though I feel that you shouldn't have to fight if there's no need for it.

[Haruka looked out towards the sky in the distance. She knew she would choose not to fight if she had the choice but life wasn't that forgiving. She solemnly stared out as she spoke more.]

And what does your uncle do?

Action Pooooost

[mercifulsun]

He's a Duke and protects people in his domains. As a Countess, I strive to do the same with my lands.

[She explained, tilting her head, glancing at the boy.]

You look troubled.

Action Pooooost

[kazeno_youni]

[She glanced back and lightly sighed.] So you're a true lady, another strong willed princess for that matter.

[A faint smile painted her lips as she thought of her own supposed princess. She lightly laughed and deeply stared into the girl's eyes.]

Do I? How much?

Action Pooooost

[mercifulsun]

Princess? No, I'm just a mere Countess!

[She shook her head.]

A moment ago, you looked distant and worried or longing about something important.

Action Pooooost

[kazeno_youni]

[She raised her eyebrows and lightly chuckled along with a sigh.]I did, huh. It could be that you remind me of my own princess.
