[ on his way to visit (or try to visit) Kid, Crona can't help but take a detour through the park, shyly sticking to the edges of the pathway but enjoying the breeze and lively scenery all the same. he's passing by a couple of benches when-- huh!? ]
Re: 1/? i'm sorry LFMSDKLsablemeisterMarch 5 2011, 04:05:05 UTC
[ hmm... the meister can't help but feel a little curious about the man in the bartender outfit, and after his conversation with Mr Claire concerning the subject, Crona wants to...put it into use again. maybe he can attain just a little of the manly mystique the other had employed for such a task. ]
Hmm...
[ still a little away, Crona slips behind a lamp pole (he's thin, but it doesn't conceal him entirely...), leveling a concentrating eye on the other, as well as the ice cream.
ah nvm done HAsablemeisterMarch 5 2011, 04:06:40 UTC
[ urgrhjghgh after a few seconds he sighs, a grimace pulling at the corner of his mouth. how had Mr Claire done this???
chocolate...that's pretty normal. so this guy...must be normal! --wait, but there's that mint chocolate chip, so...maybe he has a secret! something that makes him....not normal! like a secret identity, or something???
Crona continues to stare quite hard, attempting to figure out details about the man simply by the ice cream he's eating. it isn't working very well. ]
this is so cute ksdlsfdsf!!gtfoizayaMarch 5 2011, 05:42:58 UTC
[Shizuo doesn't notice anything right away - after all, isn't it normal for other people to be walking through the park? he doesn't pay much attention to them. he's sitting in silence, enjoying his ice cream-
--and finally catches a glimpse of a young... boy? girl? he can't tell from this distance, but he (she?) seems to be suspiciously trying to conceal himself behind a lamppost.
it doesn't take him too much longer to notice that the person's gaze seems to be fixated in his direction.
Shizuo glances over his shoulder at first, but there doesn't seem to be anything or anyone interesting behind him. he meets Crona's focused stare, raising a questioning (but, if he can even manage it, relatively non-threatening) eyebrow in response; he'd like to know just why the hell some kid who he doesn't even know seems to be staring at him, and even hiding from him on top of that.]

[ --maybe he's a super hero or something...!?
-no, that's ridiculous...childish, right? even if the people Crona's seen around this place can be a little...odd (if he even has the right to call them that, both for himself and for Shibusen in general)-- a superhero? naaah.
[ --!!! Crona, nearly lost in his own contemplation of the likelihood of real super heroes-- and the unlikelihood that Shizuo is one-- couldn't help the jerk backwards at realizing the man is now staring straight at him. it isn't...a mean stare, exactly-- not like that other guy, but...well, consider him a little intimidated of the other regardless.
he tries to pull back behind the lamppost for cover, but only ends up crossing to the other side of it, completely in view. ahhh oh no, oh no, this guy is going to think he's weird and-
-hm...but, chocolate. mint chocolate chip. he can't be...too scary, right?
turning full-circle, Crona moves behind the lamppost again, this time with his back to Shizuo. fumbling fingers pull out his Seal and flip it open...would this even work? he didn't know the guy's name, but maybe if he thinks hard enough... ]

Uuuh!!
[ OH SDL;FKDS; IT WORKED- um, holding the seal close to his face, Crona's shoulders draw up nervously as he continues with what was planned to be an elegant apology for his staring- ]
Um! I-I'm sorry!
[ . . . although it came out in a not-so-elegant manner. ]
[-- it's pretty hard to get angry watching a scene like this one unfold. Shizuo just... watches as Crona darts around nervously, and takes his seal out of his pocket with a sigh. just what is this kid's problem? unless a certain someone has been spreading rumors about him around Splendor now, too - in which case he would have a reason to get angry - he shouldn't have a reason to be so damn jumpy.
there's only one thing bothering him about this, though- and that's using the seal to speak to somebody who's close enough to be seen. even if he's nervous, was there a point in not being direct? feeling a bit annoyed, he held his seal up beside his mouth, but still spoke loudly enough that he could probably be heard in person anyway--]
action/voice;sablemeisterMarch 6 2011, 00:00:23 UTC
[ heh well this is going great, just as planned BUT NOT REALLY!!!
Crona's mouth pulls into a wide, nervous smile as he hears Shizuo's voice twice, from behind him as well as from the seal. this had been a dumb idea, why had he thought it was a remotely decent idea in the first place...!?
aaaah well, he can't reply into the seal now, can he!? not when the bartender (is there even a bar around here?) has called him out on it... so the meister takes a shaky step out from behind the lamppost, seal clenched between thin fingers, his other hand coming up to rub the back of his neck sheepishly. he can't really meet Shizuo's eyes (even behind the sunglasses) as he approaches, but he's making an effort to go up to Shizuo in the first (second!?) place, okay. ]
Uuuuh... s-sorry for staring...I was just trying something.
[trying what? he can't help but think- he's no expert on psychoanalysis through ice cream, so to him the entire situation is just weird.
still, yelling at some kid who's obviously awkward enough already- intimidating as he may be sometimes, he's not outright mean. He sighs, and cleans a melted drop of ice cream off of his hand.]
Whatever.
[but... he is still curious what he (...she? HE STILL CAN'T TELL) wanted with him, so...]
action; scream sorry for the delay!! sablemeisterMarch 9 2011, 10:46:58 UTC
[ ahh--- he doesn't seem too mad, at least... Crona chances a glance up at Shizuo's face now, wincing slightly at the "whatever". ]
Um, I...I was trying to guess what kind of a person you are from the kind of ice cream you were eating...!
[ - it comes out in a rush, ending with the meister snapping his mouth shut. how weird that must sound-- this guy's going to think he's nuts. he timidly adds: ]
action; auu no problem me too! ;~;gtfoizayaMarch 11 2011, 04:43:54 UTC
[okaaay, you get a slightly raised eyebrow for that one! it's hard for him to think of things as weird, what with the company he sometimes keeps, but he's never heard that one before.]
I'm not sure... [ whoops ] Um, ah-- but, my friend did it really well, so there has to be a way!
[ . . . scratching the back of his neck again, a quick, nervous chuckle ] I guess I wouldn't know if I were right unless I asked you, though....but I thought I was onto something with you, for sure...!
[ Crona is very quickly realizing that every thing that comes out of his mouth only makes this more awkward (or at least, he thinks it does), so he stammers another: ]
[... At this point, Shizuo's just wondering how much credibility this "friend" of his actually has. In reality, it sounds like that guy was probably nothing more than an extremely good judge of character, and added the bit about ice cream to make it sound flashy. This kid seemed nice enough, if not a bit too gullible -- ah, but saying all that wouldn't make this situation any better, would it?
he sighs with a neutral expression, brushing the back of his head with his free hand. it really doesn't help that they both seem to be awkward turtles, does it...]
Ahh-- don't worry about it.
[-- and then, in a still-slightly-awkward and not-really-any-less-intimidating-at-all attempt to get him to stop looking so nervous-]
's probably better to speak up, y'know. Y'get to know people easier that way.
