[fe_male]

Verbal it is. How do you feel about your mother?

[fe_male]

[ He grumbles a little bit there, because those are decent points and he doesn't feel like playing it off like they aren't, right now. ] What about space?

[motherofnemesis]

You said you'd had a spacey encounter. Which sounds like you've been to space. [ Genuine interest all over here. ] What was it like?

[fe_male]

I've been in space for a little bit. It was pretty quiet. There was a big explosion, and then I was back on the ground, mostly. You ever had shawarma?

[motherofnemesis]

Shawarma? I don't remember. Maybe, maybe not? Why were you in space?

[fe_male]

I had to fly a nuclear missile headed for Manhattan through a portal instead.

[direhit]

Wh-what?! [Own her? Well, maybe, but she'd argue that a Pokeball isn't a proof of ownership, but Mei doesn't see it in that light.

And the idea of a weapon just stuns her. No, she's no Ghetsis!]

No way! She's not a weapon! She's my partner and my best friend!

[direhit]

[She'd never avoid her! Never!]

That's so cool! I've never met a real live princess before! I mean, I've played one in a movie before but that hardly compares!

[direhit]

Calling in unison might work. [They're so disadvantaged, being children and Mei being a girl, that being loud and maybe a tiny bit obnoxious might be more effective.]

Oh by the way, I'm Mei. [It would be rude not to know the name of the people she was working with.]

[peachbaths]

[ commoners sure have weird slang for plays... ]

Oh, r... really? You think it's cool? You're not going to avoid me?

[direhit]

Hmm, that's just a little longer than me. I haven't heard of people staying here for years, but it's a little hard to imagine that too.

[Awww, Mei is lucky enough to know some people, and meet others for the first time.]

[direhit]

Why would I?

[But then something dawns on her.]

Unless I'm being rude or showing my respect. I'm sorry for that! [Instantly bows.]

[peachbaths]

Um, no! It's okay, you don't have to-[ Not in a public area where people are gonna see! She hides behind her sleeves. ]

... What is your name?

[direhit]

[She looks so nervous. Mei hopes she's not making a scene for her.]

It's Mei. It's nice to meet you!

[peachbaths]

Mei. [ She repeats it before looking away. ] I'm K-Kougyoku.

[direhit]

Princess Kougyoku. [She smiles, almost like she's correcting her. A title should be used anyways.]

Sorry for my outburst. This is just really neat. Back home, there are no Princesses.

[motherofnemesis]

Seriously? [ Huh. Well, she doesn't know what she was expecting particularly, but she doesn't think it was that. Interesting. ] So you didn't get to hang out and enjoy it?

[fe_male]

I was moderately unconscious after managing to see it explode on impact. We didn't have time to get that close bond, you know how it is with those whirlwind relationships.

[motherofnemesis]

Would you ever want to go back? [ Gesturing in the general direction of - well, the ceiling, but clearly intending to bring mind the sky, the space above it. There's something young and excited in her voice. ] More prepared, obviously. But go into the stars.

[flamberge]

[It's in the DNA so he is.]

It only makes people act weird if they drink too much.

[As if on cue, someone comes by to ask if Kratos wants something to eat or drink. A quick glance at their alcohol selection reveals a rather extensive collection whiskey. Eh, why not? He deserves a drink after dealing with being eyed like a piece of meat here.]

A glass of your finer whiskey.

[peachbaths]

Um, it's okay. Kougyoku is fine... [ It's a title she doesn't want to use in Exsilium, at least. ]

There aren't? [ Now she's curious. ] Then... what do you have?

[ A republic!? ]

[totallytrustworthy]

Thief, usually. Accessory, technically? Best getaway driver in the business by reputation and fact and all the other nonsense you don't need to hear about.

I thought you and I were one and the same, given your habits and all the like. Turns out I was wrong.

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven sighs and sets enough cash onto the counter for both the paint and the little chicken - not having to pay for a room since Pid provided her with a shelter or for food, since she goes hunting with Nathaniel allowed Raven to save most of the money she was given - and she sets the chirping yellow feather ball on top of the can of paint Jericho is already carrying.

Then she walks out of the shop without a look back for either of the men, using telekinesis to open the door and leaving it open.]

[fe_male]

[ The knee-jerk reaction is both yes and no at the same time, which is odd to reconcile. ]

Yeah. I'd go back.

[motherofnemesis]

[ People who are being quite careful to not monitor him emotionally and don't realize this might be a sensitive topic - her. ]

Yeah, me too. Well, it wouldn't be back for me. But I'd like to see space.
