[reginagloriae]

But why do I have to apologize to father? I didn't do anything wrong!

[Silence]

Mom?

M-Mommy?

Wh-Where I am?

I'm sorry, mom! I'll apologize to my father. Please come out! I-I'm sorry! I won't complain anymore.

(ooc; Lil'Youko with Hourai-Shell. She sounds and looks nothing like Youko now: her hair is still red but not "fiery" or whatever,

L-lol don't talk to the witch, she'll gobble you up >D

Nakajima-san?

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

[She cocked her head to the side slightly.]

My hair is naturally this color.

Action

[reginagloriae]

[She looks at her skeptically.]

P-Purple?

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

[She continues to smile in the same fashion.]

Hai.

Action

[reginagloriae]

[There is something about her smile, she finds it creepy.]

What's up with the fountain?

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

[She turned to glance at the water.]

I've heard that it can show images of the future. But I've also heard that it often lies.

[She didn't look into the water long. She didn't need to see some supposed future. She knew what was going to happen in her near future. She'd watched it happen so many times that it was routine.]

Action

[reginagloriae]

Like magic?

[Being a young girl, Youko was more open minded to crazy beliefs and fairytales.]

Huh? I-I didn't see my future. I saw a girl with red hair like fire and green eyes!

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

I suppose you could say it's like magic.

[She looked to the girl again.]

Maybe the fountain was lying?

Action

[reginagloriae]

My father said magic didn't exist. I-I knew he was wrong!

[She says that in awe and wonder, touching the waters again.]

It stinks. I didn't get to know my future, but this girl. She seems somebody important. There was an army kneeling to her feet.

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

Oh? What else did you see?

Action

[reginagloriae]

O-Only the girl. She had a white deer or horse, they were floating on the air.

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

Oh, I see.

Action

[reginagloriae]

Himemiya-san?

Are you so happy to smile all the time?

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

Oh? I suppose.

[Smiling was normally the easiest way to make people drop their defenses--though she did have a way of unnerving them at the same time. It was always amusing to watch them squirm when they didn't know how to react.]

Re: Action

[reginagloriae]

Because a girl should be charming and chaste? S-smile regardless of the situation?

[She looked down, repeating what she had been taught to believe. What she didn't like but was forced to embrace, she added then added in a resigned, lower voice.]

Your parents must be proud of you. My father would have liked a daughter like you.

Action

[hime_ja_nai]

[She went ahead and dropped the smile slightly. She was able to read this sort of thing fairly well--and she recognized someone grating against their forced position any day.]

I wouldn't say that. Nakajima-san should only smile if she wants to smile, ne? I smile because it achieves the desired end because I want to smile, not because I should.
