four ☾ - locked to wise_king

[moonspirals]

[Friday night. Last one before school started. That was all well and good. The idea of going bowling with friends? Also perfectly good

[Somewhere down one of the lanes, Merem is content to wave.]

Hello there.

[moonspirals]

Eeep!

[Good thing she just put her plate down, otherwise she would have spilled it all over herself.]

W-when did you get here?

[wise_king]

I've been here for a while, actually. I simply enjoy sitting in the dark so I can experience moments like these.

[moonspirals]

You shouldn't just stare at people in the dark, it's creepy!

[wise_king]

That, Princess, is why I am doing it so I recognize that fact.

[He at least takes the time to step into the light.]

[moonspirals]

H-how did you figure that out? I didn't give my real name...

[Hey, no one recognizes her back home!]

[wise_king]

The same way the other Princess did not fool me in her disguise.

Not to mention that you smell the same. [Creepy levels rising?]

[moonspirals]

That was an awesome costume, what are you talking about?

...wait. Smell?!

[Enough that she's backing away slowly.]

[wise_king]

Same thing.

Yes, smell. For rats, smell is very important.

[moonspirals]

How is it the same thing?

...I'm so confused...

[wise_king]

In your case, they are the same.

Do I have to introduce you...?

[moonspirals]

Introduce me? I --

[A pause.]

Usagi. Tsukino Usagi.

[wise_king]

Not what I meant but I suppose that will do for the moment.

[moonspirals]

Then what did you mean?

[wise_king]

[He shrugs once and then his left arm disappears and a rat appears in his right hand. A white rat....with a crown and royal robe.]

[moonspirals]

Who is...

[And she approaches again, extending a hand to the rat, letting it sniff her a little.]
