36th Pret

[white_pretear]

I got a new hot pot under the tree. I threw the other one away...

I don't really want it anymore. Does someone else want it? I don't mind giving it away. I don't think I'll be cooking anything in it for a while. Let me know if you want it. 100% Free.

( this kid has never seen a kendama and therefore stops his walk to just sort of ... stare awkwardly. )

[Himeno is too busy trying to concentrate on it so she doesn't notice.

...of course, about a moment later, the red ball crashes into her face. She lets out a should and grabs at her face.]

Owww!

[doastheromansdo]

Oh--woah! You ok?

...that's a pretty dangerous toy.

[white_pretear]

[Still rubbing her forehead where it hit, but she looks up.]

Oh-! I didn't know anyone was here...Sorry about that.

[doastheromansdo]

You don't have to apologize. I'm not the one who got hit with that thing.

[white_pretear]

It's not the first time. You get used to it after a while.

[doastheromansdo]

I see. But you keep doing it anyway?

[white_pretear]

I'm trying to get better at it.

...a friend of mine told me it was important.

[doastheromansdo]

Then I'm sure it is.

[white_pretear]

Mm. Maybe.

[She's really not sure at this point. She stands up though.]

I'm Himeno, by the way. I don't think we've met.

[doastheromansdo]

Oh--of course. I'm Jason. It's nice to meet you.

[white_pretear]

It's nice to meet you too.

Have you been in Mayfield very long?

[doastheromansdo]

A month and a half. Though even that's more than enough.

[white_pretear]

It sure is.

Imagine being here over a year.

[doastheromansdo]

Yeah, that definitely doesn't sound fun.

But you seem to be hanging in there?

[white_pretear]

[She shrugs and smiles just a little.]

Somedays are better than others.
