Pinoko wishes her Doc was here! Then she could'a caught him under the mishletoe...

[She pouts for a moment, then blinks.]

Oh, wait! If Doc were here... then, then, there'd be a chanche of him getting kished by other ladies! [She looks terrified of the thought, clutching her cheeks with eyes wide!]

Maybe it's besht Pinoko's here alone! [She nods

Believe me, little miss, the fun's just getting started.

[tomboyishcandy]

Really?

Pinoko hopes sho!

[2/2; oops, wait, one more!]

[tomboyishcandy]

L-l-little?!

[She turns very red in the face and waves a fist.]

How rude! Pinoko's twenty years old, you know!

[variabledge]

Ahh, you'll have to forgive me! My eyesight's goin' in my old age. [she chuckles.] How could I miss someone lookin' so refined and mature?

[tomboyishcandy]

Lady, you better not be sharcashtic.

Pinoko might look a little younger than she is, but she's definitely a lady!

[variabledge]

No, no-- [she waves her hands.] Don't take it personally. An old lady like me doesn't know which end's up anymore.

[tomboyishcandy]

R-really?

Pinoko doesn't think you look very old, even for a granny!

Pinoko thinksh you look young, in a good way!

[Have a sweet, perfectly genuine smile. She might be quick to anger but she's just as quick to forgive and forget. Any insult she might've seen in previous comments was entirely disregarded.]

Pinoko hopesh to age even half as grachefully as you!

[variabledge]

Why, now you're flattering me. [it's not often people respond to her playing up her age--which, at 35, isn't actually that old--with anything more than a roll of the eyes. Nevermind that she feels much older, but making it look like dramatics helps her feel less sorry for herself, strangely enough.]

With manners like that, I can definitely believe you're a proper lady.

[tomboyishcandy]

[Well, at thirty-five, you'd qualify as an oban by more traditional Japanese sensibilities!

Oh, Pinoko turns very red at that.

After blinking twice in confusion, she laughs.]

Now, you're the one who's flattering, pretty granny! [Another giggle.]

Shay, you never told Pinoko your name! What should Pinoko call you?

[variabledge]

[thirty-five and never married, scandalous!]

[she grins and bows a little.]

The name's Raven. Pinoko, is it? Please ta make your acquaintance.

[tomboyishcandy]

Yesh, it's Pinoko... it's very niche to meet you too, Raven-obachan. [She bows in return!]
