71. [ RL with Azula ]

[smilingtransfer]

[ When your not-really-at-all sibling starts muttering about revenge, she'll probably take it, and your other not-really-at-all sibling will end up breaking heads when people start yelling at her, and Itsuki has grown rather fond of a relatively quiet and peaceful life.

And do they?

[smilingtransfer]

I'm not sure. I've never been in the sewers of New York, after all.

[pokes her chopstick into the french fries she's eating]

Maybe I'll have to investigate someday.

[... that's facetious]

I can't imagine you actually wearing something old.

Where to now?

They have a lot of stores in New York City. Which one are you going to drag me to?

[smilingtransfer]

The ones that look interesting, naturally.

[peoplesprincess]

... Interesting to you can mean a lot of things.

[smilingtransfer]

Stores with clothes I think you'll be willing to wear, if you'd prefer that description.
