[Naoto is seated at her work bench in her workshop/laboratory/atelier busily working on some silver jewelry. She's wearing goggles with magnifying lenses, apparently engraving something on the inside of a man's silver ring. Several other pieces are strewn about on her workspace, such as a skull ring, a skull pendant, some ear cuffs, and a few

I'm sure that Kanji would appreciate this.

video forever~

[Naoto's looking around for a moment, bewildered. Then she notices the camera.]

Oh, crap. [She quickly scoots the ring out of sight.] This was supposed to be a surprise!

ok!

[clockmaster]

[He smiles and shrugs as if saying 'sorry'.]

[truthinfortune]

And it's not just for Kanji, either! I'm making jewelry for some of my other friends, too...

[clockmaster]

Your sensei?

[truthinfortune]

Actually, for Winry and Karen. Winry has several piercings in her ears, so what's a few more earrings?

I've actually been thinking about getting a second pair of piercings... [The puts one finger behind her ear, showing off the steel earrings that Ed made her.] Right above the ones I have now. What do you think about that?

[clockmaster]

I noticed that when I talked to her.

If you think you would like that I have no saying in this, Naoko. Is your body.

[truthinfortune]

Isn't it cute? I didn't think multiple piercings would look good on a girl, but Winry certainly proved me wrong!

Well... I do value my friends' opinions... But I think another set of piercings wouldn't be over-doing it. I don't plan to punch a bunch of holes in my ears, like Kanji.

[clockmaster]

I'm not versed in cute things but they looks nice.

Maybe it will be too much. I don't mind, but some people might not take you seriously is you start filling your head will holes and piercings.

[truthinfortune]

Rise-chan has been teaching me a lot. She makes it look so effortless and natural. That's why I always found it strange when people would think of me as "cute".

Exactly. I still have to maintain a certain professional appearance if I'm going to work alongside the police force in the future. So, I think I'll stop with this last set of piercings.

strkes not here

[clockmaster]

Why is that so strange?

You can always pierce non visible part of your anatomy. I'm not going around showing my piercing after all.

[truthinfortune]

I've just... never really thought of myself as "cute" once I started living full-time as a boy. That's all.

...Ah. N-No thank you. That's... usually far more painful than getting a simple piercing in the ear...

[clockmaster]

Nonsence, some boys are cute too. Like Issei.

Well...is not that painful.

[truthinfortune]

Well, yes... But I didn't want to be thought of as "cute". Cuteness tends to imply a certain childishness, and I was very much obsessed with being thought of as an "adult" at the time...

...You speak as though you've actually experienced this yourself.

[clockmaster]

Those are just misconceptions. Issei doesn't act childish...except you don't mention his zombie dog, that is it.

Hm...do it?

[truthinfortune]

I understand that now... That's why I don't really mind it so much when people refer to me as "cute" or "pretty". I did win the Beauty Pageant for a reason, I think...

...Erm, no comment.
