Cirucci found herself wandering onto the deck that afternoon. She was getting a bit of cabin fever, perhaps. It didn't help that the weather was perfect outside, too much so for Cirucci to resist.

She had partly wished to discover the deck was empty upon her arrival, but merely sighed when she spotted another figure sitting down nearby. As she drew closer, she realized who it was, quirking an eyebrow. Zhang He was hard to miss, and unlike so many others on board, he--well, he was always a lovely beacon of sunshine, wasn't he.

While she appreciated his attention to style, she found herself also quickly exasperated by his upbeat demeanor as of late. No matter. There were worse people to spend time with.

But she nearly recoiled when she saw the wings attached to his back. She marched over to him, now--oh, she had a purpose. Without greeting him, she simply stared at first, before tugging on them gingerly. "You will tell me what these are for," she stated, almost cross with the man already, "won't you?"

He couldn't help but to blink when he found himself being approached, just slightly, intimidatingly by a woman who was just that small bit intimidating herself. Perhaps his attire was a mistake but really he'd paid all that money for the things and had yet a good chance to wear them. It was hardly his fault!

"They're merely something beautiful I purchased far too long ago and found this morning. Are they not you your liking?" Zhang He turned his head to look at Cirucci, smiling.

SHE STOPS FOR NO ONE? xD swallow_wing June 15 2009, 05:20:17 UTC

She gave the wings an extra tug, lips parted slightly in distaste. Mulling over the matter for another moment or two, Cirucci moved her hand away, crossing her arms over her chest. "They're...weird." Scrunching up her nose--perhaps slightly unconsciously--Cirucci gestured to them, maybe even a little wildly. "Don't you think they're a little...loud?"

She could have stopped there.

...But this was Cirucci Thunderwitch. "I mean, really, Zhang He. Loud isn't--necessarily bad, but--there's a limit to these things." Keeping her gaze fixed on him, she propped herself onto the table, barely, hands curling around the edges. "Loud attire doesn't warrant loud accessories~" It was almost like a lecture, really. But one glance to Cirucci revealed that she was quite serious about this, her eyes narrowed in thought.

OHMAI. IT'S GONNA BE A CAT FIGHT. butterflyjades June 15 2009, 22:06:53 UTC

He watched the ranting woman carefully, arching an eyebrow. Was she really going as far as to insult his way of dressing? It was horrible. Perhaps the wings were a bit much but this would not settle well with him at all.

Once he felt Cirucci was done with her rampage about his fashion sense a smile found its way up. This would be fun.

"But Cirucci~. Some say fashion is a reflection of the way a person is, it shows some of their personality! How beautiful it is when one wears many colors, they are approachable. However, when one wears plain colors it's much harder to tell what they are like at all, or their sense of color co-ordination. Don't you agree~?"

THEY CAN BATTLE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE WINGS <3 i kid. swallow_wing June 16 2009, 18:30:55 UTC

Cirucci raised an eyebrow as well, mirroring Zhang He's reaction from moments earlier. Oh, this was rich: someone as tacky as him criticizing her style? This simply wouldn't do.

"Taste is plenty part of someone's personality, wouldn't you say~?" Cirucci cocked her head to the side, a small smile creeping onto her features. "Too much color can be intimidating~ Or even an eyesore, and we wouldn't want that." Fixing him with an intent stare, Cirucci continued, her eyebrow still arched. "Simplicity is a virtue, after all. Well, it can be."

After all, simple people were--fun to take advantage of, sure, but otherwise very dull to engage with. But in presentation--had she not been leaning against the table, she would have twirled around to show off the cute white dress she put on that day. "Besides, you seem to think it's bad to keep someone guessing. Why is that~?"

She asked it almost innocently. Best to retract the claws bit by bit before digging them in again.

xDDD THEY'D WORRY ABOUT GETTING BLOOD ON THEM. :< butterflyjades June 16 2009, 18:43:55 UTC

Calmly the quartermaster took a sip of his tea, smiling still. Really. She was such a silly woman, to think he hadn't heard worse criticism on his style of clothing. But the audacity she had to do such in the first place was unforgivable! And him an eyesore? Honestly...!

"Sometimes simplicity in dress reflects the state of ones mind, so I hear." He looked off to the side innocently before letting out a soft laugh, looking at her with a sly grin.

"Then again I suppose some old, tired, out of date, simple items can be beautiful, wouldn't you agree?" With that he took another sip of tea.

..OH GOD YOU'RE RIGHT swallow_wing June 20 2009, 02:41:57 UTC

A muscle in her hand twitched. She only half noticed as her fingers curled around the table's edge.

"Associating 'simple' with 'old' is a rather faulty comparison, wouldn't you say?" Her eyes fixed on his intently. Had she not reined herself in during her reply, a hint of maliciousness might have been detectable. As it was, she was growing ever the more infuriated, by this tacky, overdone man, yet--

No, he didn't deserve her anger. At the very least, he didn't deserve to see it come to bloom.

"Simplicity in attire," she lectured, hands pushing herself off the table, "when paired with the right accessories, can be stunning enough without the need to crowd everything together in one outfit. It reflects a careful eye for detail and good decision making, and that..." A hand went to rest on her hip. "..is what makes a good outfit." She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth. "If someone were to find all simplicity boring, then perhaps the problem lies in the beholder, mm?"

(OOC: sorry for the late reply, orz)

"I'm sorry~. If I had known age was such a touchy subject for you~." Of course he would have let this continue. It would have been far too easy to allow the fight to get any further and in the end it would leave only hate and despair. That wouldn't do at all~.

"Would you like a cup of tea, Cirucci?" He smiled honestly, this was a fight for another day. For now it was time to relax.

"It's not. I'm young, you know." She fixed the man with a wary look, but sighed as he asked his question. She knew Zhang He wouldn't keep a dispute up for too long. After all, it wasn't a beautiful exercise. He probably thinks it leaves wrinkles.

Purposefully leaving a moment of silence hanging between them, Cirucci pursed her lips, before lifting her hands upwards and shrugging. "..I suppose it couldn't hurt." Her eyes quickly shifted in search of seats, glancing out once at the sky opening up before them. "It's about time we got such good weather," she muttered, half to herself, but knowing he'd probably have a response to her statement anyway.
