Canon is Kodomo no Jikan, it's as inappropriate as it looks

[kokonoe_rin]

You're such a lolicon! I don't even know why you bother pretending anymore. Why don't you just run off to that game so many of your friends are going to?

[Wow, it's like Rin wants to go to a sex game.]

What? Well, I don't really want to go, but I bet you'll make me do that no matter where we are, won't you? Sicko. Whatever you do, just decide faster! It's boring in here.

So young and already a pervert.

[Not that she disapproves.]

[kokonoe_rin]

You definitely have the wrong girl!

[No, Rin is certainly a bit of a pervert.]

It's not my fault what sorts of places she's looking at. So mean!

[tongue_measure]

My mun let me take a peak at your world, don't lie.

I certainly don't mind. In my world your interest in such things would be considered normal.

[kokonoe_rin]

Wha - it's not abnormal in my world, anyway! People just don't want to think that a kid might think those sorts of things.

[It makes it feel dirty. Rin doesn't like it at all. Even her teacher... no, especially him. He wants her to stay pure and innocent, but she's not.]

I assume the game she mentioned would be TLH?

[tongue_measure]

Just because you think the way you do does not make you less deserving of love.

It simply makes you a more interesting sex partner. Love and sex go well together but they are still exclusive ideas.

CoA actually since Rin is getting close to 13 in the manga and would be appable

[kokonoe_rin]

[Can this lady read her mind or something?! Well she is some kind of alien, but still!]

Is it important to be interesting?

[Her mom had been with someone before she was with Reiji. Rin wants to save her first for Aoki-sensei, but maybe having a little experience couldn't hurt. He definitely doesn't have any, so she'll have to take charge regardless.]

Ohhh okay. Well if you ever pop over to TLH let me know :P

[tongue_measure]

Well it certainly spices things up but it isn't required. You two could always learn together.

[Honestly Lamia found her to be absolutely adorable and the precociousness only helped her seem more interesting.]

[kokonoe_rin]

[At this point she's positive her thoughts are being read.]

Can you read minds?

[Don't think about Aoki's dick, don't think about it, can't let some other girl see it -

Whoops too late.]

Did someone say ~inappropriate~

[kingunmaker]

My, such language from one so young!

Yes, yes I did

[ninefold]

It's not Rin's fault. This pervert is making me do weird things...

Then let's get this express-car to Hell started

[kingunmaker]

My... you have my utmost sympathies, my lady. Though if your mundane is as dull as you proclaim, then surely their low moral character will not be half as troublesome, as someone dedicated to using you for their own twisted purposes?

[ninefold]

[Is he implying that he might be more troublesome? Rin isn't nearly stupid enough to show that she might have caught on to that.]

What kind of person would do that?

[kingunmaker]

A truly terrible one, my lady. Why, the mere tales I've heard of some of them... they are enough to chill one to ones very core. I do not even know if I dare retell some of the stories I've heard whispered in the darkest corners of dear_mun...

[Because it isn't like he wants her to ask 'what stories'. Oh no. Not at all. Why, only a horrible person would want an invitation to scar someone elses mind :D]

[ninefold]

[To the very core, huh. She just looks up at him quietly. Does she really want to know? He's totally baiting her.

...Of course she wants to know.]

Well, knowledge is power or something like that, right? I think it would be better to know.

ALSO she is not in any real danger, Duphaston here is just... a terrible person in general. Yes.

[kingunmaker]

[Brave, brave little girl. Pity bravery often goes hand in hand with folly~.]

I heard a tale once, of a man with an eye for little girls... much like yourself. He would entrap them with sweet words and sweeter gifts, and when they were lulled to sleep he would lock them inside a dark, dank room. As the stench of rotting meat permeating the room awakened them he would go to work with knife, needle and thread as he slowly, slowly peeled off their skin.

For you see, this man was vain- oh so vain. And he had gotten it into his head that the only leather worth making boots from was leather tanned from human skin, and there was no prettier human skin to be found than that wrought from little girls. So he would capture these little girls and slowly take their skin off, piece by piece, completely heedless of their pleas of mercy and screams of pain. And why should he listen to them, when the choir of his inner mind sang all the praises and compliments he could ever desire for his lovely boots and gloves?

And so, when his grisly deeds had finally given him enough leather to complete a full set of boots, did he venture out into dear_mun to display his dreadful handicraft. But there was only one problem... he could not hear the praise of the people, for every step he took drowned out all other sounds... with the wailing of dead little girls.

And let me tell you, young lady...

[Duphaston suddenly hunches down, turning his face so that one eye stares directly at Rin so that he can open the corner of his mouth turned away from her, enabling him to throw his voice to imitate a little girls scream.

However... the imitation is not just an imitation. It is flawless, a long, discordant wail that couldn't possibly come from another throat, but that of a little girl! And what doesn't help matter is that the eye he looks at her, the eye that is now level with her own, changes in an instant from electric blue to pitch black.]

To lose out on the praise I rightfully deserved was most aggravating!

[volatility]

Let's hope you remember how to read a map next time, wherever you wind up.

[ninefold]

Whether I can read one or not's gonna depend on who I run into, isn't it? Most people are happy to help a cute girl out.

[She doesn't seem mad in the least that he didn't totally fall for her tricks, just amused.]

[volatility]

[Well he did help, and Mello supposes it wasn't a terrible waste of time. He has to admire her adaptability and instinct to manipulate for her benefit.]

The trick is learning how to pick out the right people.

[People who aren't as perceptive, who could easily buy into such a ruse.]

[ninefold]

[Rin will never admit that she was actually frightened in the city. A great deal of the reason her act had been far more over the top than usual was precisely because it wasn't all an act.]

A mistake isn't a waste so long as you learn from it, right? I went to you 'cause you looked like you wouldn't hurt me, but next time I'll look for someone that's stupid and nice.

[volatility]

[Mello considers himself the type who does look like he'd hurt someone and would like to think that other people think similar, but he supposes he has to give her credit for a correct assessment. He hadn't hurt her, after all.]

Good plan. Just be careful not to get hooked by someone who's pretending to be stupid and nice.

[ninefold]

[He didn't look like a person who would do the sort of hurting Rin was trying to avoid. Besides that - he'd obviously been hurt himself at some point, and he didn't make any attempt to cover up the scars. To her that was a statement - "I survived, and I'm not afraid". Surviving was what she'd wanted to do. She didn't want to be afraid, either.]

Hmm~ I'll do my best! You could always look out for me too, you know.

[volatility]

[And she's right about that — Mello uses his scars to communicate just that — a warning to the world that he is not so easy to take down, nor will he cower in the face of danger.]

I'm not a babysitter.

[A little advice here and there is one thing, but Mello cannot be slowed down by a child, however precocious she may be.]
