[invokes]

[ is conveniently passing by like the... convenient dude he is. he sees that little girl and is like

what

is she doing.

DOES HE CARRY ON? no. he's stopping for a light.

OH GOD HOW DOES I RP ON THREE HOUR SLEEP. ]

goodness this is...... completely new

[yoursoultokeep]

[hurm hurm hurm splashing along without a care in the world AND THEN she turns her head and looks at him, tossing her hair back over her shoulder. so she just is staring at him. like a big ol' freaky red-eyed owl.]

adorable girls oh my

[invokes]

[ red eyes wouldn't bother him so much if it hadn't been this strange girl staring at him.

in fact, he freezes as he raises his cigarette to his lips and stares back, trying to shake away the feeling. THIS IS UNCOMFORTABLE. ]

[yoursoultokeep]

[still staring for the most ridiculous amount of time ever... saying absolutely nothing...

and okay she looks back to her journal for a moment so he is home free.

THEN WHAM BACK TO GIL AND SHE ACTUALLY TALKS in her creepy low mamiko noto voice.] Hello.

[soumysteriousss]

[HE WOULD GIVE A FUCK HE SWEARS

if he weren't stand in the middle of the road looking at the sky like he's on ecstasy and seeing the cosmos or something]

[she glances over at little mr. trippin' balls and then... well gosh she must have gotten up or something because now she is standing barefoot.

and silent.

behind him.

[SDJKFHSDJKGJSK SO CREEPY. of course he doesn't hear her at ALL and just keeps staring]

[soumysteriousss]

[and staring]

[wiederholt]

[for once, Bernkastel doesn't make her appearance from out of nowhere

rather, she was actually walking back to the castle from a tea shop, carrying a bag full of very expensive (and a few cheap) bags of tea when she spots this other girl

admires her hair

something strikes her as off about the girl, so she stops to look her over]

[yoursoultokeep]

[Ai at least has the juju reflexes remaining to look over at Bernkastel a bit after she stops. the hand already in her lap folds her journal silently shut, and her other one goes to her face, rearranging a few stray strands of hair garnier fructis..... what can i say. her eyes are as expressionless and red as ever as she measures Bernkastel up, but it's clear that she's thinking something.]

[wiederholt]

[you know, if somebody did a palette swap, those two girls could be twins

...except no, Ai'd still look older

anyway

Bernkastel stares back, her own expression unreadable... though she, too, is thinking of something]

[yoursoultokeep]

[she gives her legs one last swing for good measure, then lifts them out of the water and sort of swings them around so that they're relatively parallel with the edge of the fountain that she's sitting on. turning in position so that she's actually, you know, facing Bern and not creepily looking over her shoulder, she sets the book aside and draws her legs up towards herself.

her gaze... not once... leaving this other broad during all this btw... shit is getting real.]
