三 ❀ 『 video/action for discedo 』

[nihonna]

[ Sup Fortuna, guess who's been quiet for a while... yes Japan-the girl one-is just that kind of person it seems. She's a Lady so she has to be modest... anyway, the video feed turns on to Japan standing somewhere outside. The fog makes it difficult to see anything, and the video quality isn't the best, but one can see her clearly enough, though

{Ace is out wandering around, mostly to get away from his own ghosts, when he spots Sakura, staring off into the distance. He wanders over to stand by her, silently looking off the direction she's staring and trying to see what she's looking at.}

Ahh... are you okay?

[Action]

[nihonna]

[ She jumps slightly since that took her by surprise and broke her out of her Deep And Meaningful Contemplation, but turns around to the source of the voice and bows hurriedly. ] Y-yes, I am fi- [ And then notices who she's talking to. ] ...Ace-san?

[Action]

[dontcallmegol]

Oh, my apologies I didn't mean to startle you.

{He smiles warmly and nods.} You're Sakura-chan, right? Man, you and Kiku are almost identical!

{He takes his hat off and bows slightly.} It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

[Action]

[nihonna]

It's quite alright. I was lost in thought... [ She bows again, this time in greeting. ] It is a pleasure to finally meet you as well, Ace-san... ah, and are we really? To be honest, I did not really think so...

[Action]

[dontcallmegol]

Yup, you're both incredibly cute. {Setting his hat back on his head and giving her a little wink.}

[Action]

[nihonna]

E-eh.. is that so... [ blushes a little and looks away in embarrassment iyaaan ]

[Action]

[dontcallmegol]

{He grins, all too satisfied with the flustering. He takes a step closer and reaches for her, taking her chin gently to turn her face back to his. He studies her closely as if trying to figure something out. He then nods.}

You are much more beautiful than he is. {Which works when saying something about a country... right? Cause a guy country can be beautiful... Then again, Japan has been known to cross-dress so, yeah.}

[Action]

[nihonna]

[ Her current thoughts can easily be summed up with keysmashes, "iyaaaaaan" and "oh man oh god oh man oh god" because close physical contact waaaah and if she was blushing before, her face is basically a head-shaped tomato now ]

T... t-that's...

[Action]

[dontcallmegol]

{Smiling and letting her go.} Hmm?

{Words Sakura, you can do it! He's waiting patiently and innocently.}

[Action]

[nihonna]

[ She shrinks back a bit in embarrassment and to get some of her personal space back and normally she'd be yelling at but he's so nice and she can't bring herself to... plus you know, politeness, but that actually doesn't get in the way most of the time when it comes to yelling for personal space invasions. ]

...I am fine with compliments, but I do not think it is very nice to compliment one at the expense of another... also, Kiku-san [ "Kiku-san" when speaking of him to other people, even though they switched to calling each other "Japan-san" ] would not be pleased to know that Ace-san said that, I'm sure.

[Action]

[dontcallmegol]

{He tilts his head a little at this, chuckling some.} You think Kiku would want to be called beautiful? It's not exactly a manly word and I know he has his pride.

{He figures that IS probably what you meant but he's poking a little fun at the guy. He DOES cross dress.} I wouldn't worry, he knows I think well of him. He is Nakama after all.

[Action]

[nihonna]

There is nothing wrong with a man being considered beautiful. [ She says this a bit stubbornly, but not negatively. ] ...But if Ace-san says so, I will believe him. Nakama, is it...

[Action]

[dontcallmegol]

Mn, you're right. A man can be beautiful too. One of my brothers back home was a cross-dresser. He liked to look like a Geisha, he was very pretty.

{A nod and smile.} Yup, he's family now whether he likes it or not. {Laughing a little at that, cause he knows they can be a handful at times.}

[Action]

[nihonna]

Precisely, like that. Although it isn't really possible for a man to be a proper Geiko, that's an exclusively female job, but he can imitate the look well enough... [ a brief smile at that second part before she glances away ] Aha, family, is it...

[Action]

[dontcallmegol]

Oh. Hahaha! Yeah, no, he's not exactly proper. He just likes to look pretty I guess. I don't really understand it much myself, but it doesn't matter, cause it makes him happy and we love him for who he is.

{Nod.} My Nakama are my family. My brothers and closest friends. I trust them with my life and would gladly give mine to see to it they are safe. We pirates take the word very seriously.

[Action]

[nihonna]

Wah, Ace-san is so accepting...! ...Ah, that's right. Ace-san and Marco-san are pirates, aren't they... it's easy to forget, honestly. [ Not saying anything about the rest because oops might delve into things that are a bit of a Complicated Subject with her. Family and stuff and being close to people... yeah... ]
