It's a pleasure to meet you, Mun-san.

I'm sure you and I will get along quite well. It seems we're both very fond of studying and you know to get homework done before doing any leisure activities. I wish I could impart such a responsible understanding of school to Usagi, though she is getting better.

[She chuckles.]

Please take your time with this. It requires time and getting to know one another before committing to something serious like a game. This suits me quite well for now and I know, as we get to know one another better, we'll form a stronger bond and connection.

I do have... one small issue I would like to address however. The name? I'm afraid I don't find it quite as humorous as you do.

Are you allergic to love letters?

[allergictoloveletters]

It is technically impossible to be allergic to a love letter, unless there is perhaps, a perfume scent or type of ink that you are potentially allergic to and thus cause a reaction. What my mun-san is alluding to is my... habit of acquiring hives upon reading a love letter addressed to me.

[snow_white_lily]

Could you be allergic to the paper? { It's a strange reaction either way. } I would think receiving a love letter would be nice.

[allergictoloveletters]

Another potential aspect. However, the percentage of people who are allergic to paper, at least standard paper, is a practically miniscule amount and I am very much not one of those people. [She clears her throat.]

It is not something I really want in my life.

[snow_white_lily]

That is a comfort. { It would be very hard to write letters if she were allergic! } Why not? Think of how good you would feel after reading one! You needn't return their affections.

[allergictoloveletters]

I would agree, I am an avid reader. [To put that comment lightly.] I do not feel good after reading one. [That's why she breaks into hives.]

[snow_white_lily]

I wish I had more books to read. { Books are special in her era - they are not easily made and they are worth their weight in gold. } Why is that? If you don't mind me prying?

[allergictoloveletters]

I'm afraid I would rather not disclose such a thing, thank you. It's not meant as any sort of offense.

[snow_white_lily]

Everyone has their secrets. { Her secrets are best left unsaid. Having a murderous Stepmother doesn't set well with polite conversations. }

My name is Lilliana Hoffman, but you're welcome to call me Lilli.

[allergictoloveletters]

[More that Ami was not the sort to just discuss her personal life so openly.]

Mizuno Ami. [She bowed.] It's nice to meet you Hoffman-san.

[snow_white_lily]

{ Lilli curtsies politely, her raven black head dipping. }

Have you seen any ravens?

[allergictoloveletters]

Ravens? No, I cannot say that I have. Are they your pets?

[snow_white_lily]

No! { She gasps. } I think they work for...someone I know.

[allergictoloveletters]

Well, it is not unheard of, I suppose. [Thinking of Rei's pet birds.] Crows and ravens have recently had several studies done with them and we are just starting to understand how intelligent they actually are.

[snow_white_lily]

I don't doubt their intelligence. But...

They are used in Witchcraft. { She knows that now. } I know the ravens working for my -

I know they relayed messages.

[allergictoloveletters]

.... Witchcraft?

[Ami is very much aware how animals can be used for magic and science alike. She also knows witches exist, thanks to a certain individuals.]

Do you have actual proof?

[snow_white_lily]

...yes. { The proof she has is very grim and most of it was demolished in the fire. } My Stepmother wished for my death. She used spells on me.

[allergictoloveletters]

I'm sorry to hear that, have you brought the matter to the rest of your family or the authorities?

[snow_white_lily]

She...perished in the fire. It was for the best. My father is safe and I am safe. We can start a new life.

[elegant_knives]

That username could have been worse, Miss. A counterpart of myself had 'snkybtchthwsknives' as her username.

[actsmagnificent]

But did you bring your homework? That's the big question.

[ Yo, kitten. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

[She blushes at the sight of Haruka and presses a hand to her cheek, feeling a bit warm. But she smiles.]

Haruka-san, ah, yes, of course. I always finish my studies in a prompt fashion.

[allergictoloveletters]

Hmm, that is quite an unfortunate name. I am sorry your associate was not given a kinder name. She was not really like as her name implied, was she?

❤!!!

[smallfused]

There is no shame in your username, Ami-chan! Love letters are a waste of time. It would almost be a true blessing to be allergic to something so foolish.

[elegant_knives]

She is another version of myself, so I would hope either of us aren't that bad.
