SORRY THIS TAG IS SO LONG. JUST SOME CONTEXT FOR MY OWN PIECE OF MIND. nobodysheroine August 22 2008, 23:20:53 UTC
It was early afternoon when Ran found the bookstore, after having spent most of the morning acquiring clothes and scouring the food-stalls for donuts and a job that wouldn't require the completely relinquishing of her ethics to the Powers that Be ( ... )

Once Vanilla heard the door crack open and then a feminine voice call out she gazed up from her book. She smiled slightly in return and closed her book. “Good afternoon miss…” She took a moment to set the book down on a slightly worn coffee table. “How are you?” Vanilla’s tone was soft and level as she gazed at the customer. This one seemed quite friendly. A good way to start the day she supposed.

Ran nodded in greeting, ducking her head left and right to survey the shelves around her as she approached. "Hi there," she said again, giving a small wave of her hand. She was surprised to see the girl who greeted her was not even her age and Ran mentally kicked herself when she realized she was about to ask, "Is the owner here?" This was, after all, a brand new world. One where boys carried swords and girls were birthed from cocoons, where bumper cars followed you everywhere you went and where water balloons fell from the sky. Who said a young girl couldn't have an entrepreneurial spirit and run her own bookstore on a floating market island?

"I'm good," Ran said, and made herself smile. It wasn't a natural facial expression for her to use, but she had spent all day flashing it desparately at various store owners, so she felt relieved to feel it was more genuine this time, given her newfound surroundings. "Thanks for asking." Ran didn't think she was very good at chit-chat. "...You?"

Vanilla nodded to the teen and then cocked her head to the side. “I am.” She didn’t see anything strange about a child running a store. If one was mature enough they could do just about anything. The girl wasn’t offended though, she got that question every so often, and she couldn’t blame them… Even though she hated to admit it Vanilla knew she was quite small.

Vanilla rarely smiled although for her it was natural… At least most of the time. She was rather quiet compared to most children her age. The girl nodded. “You’re welcome… I am well. Thank you for asking.”
