Wow, hey now. You never said anything about relationships when you started planning on shipping me off somewhere.

Sure, the kiddo's cute and all, but ain't he a little young? Fourteen and all... sure, I mean, sixteen's not too big a difference, but still.

Not to mention I'll probably scare the little kid off. I ain't the nicest girl.

[Wow who are you to talk about age differences]

Shindou's a lot off things, but a wimp isn't one of them..

[ironoxides]

[...

She's just going to raise an eyebrow and turn on her Viscera effect.]

I don't think he'll be too happy to see me.

[doingthemistything]

[Not even raising an eyebrow because he knows that's an effect.]

Allow me to reiterate: you never know. Maybe not too happy, but you can't just make assumptions... especially about people you don't know. Don't judge a book by its cover and all.

[presto_turn]

[...such an unsure face.]

I'll be turning fifteen before long. Not that it makes much of a difference -

[Muns doing this kind of thing are still super-rude...!]

[ironoxides]

I share a space with the guy, and apparently he shakes and cries during horror movies.

Maybe not the same since it's a whole different puppeteer, but like you said, "you never know".

[doingthemistything]

Don't turn my words back on me.

The characterization is slightly different, but at the core, they're the same. Shindou's a good guy.

[ironoxides]

... I guess that's not too bad.

[Don't mind her scoping you out though, Shindou --]

What's your feeling on the Saw movies?

[Random question? Perhaps.]

[ironoxides]

... I guess I'll take your word for it.
Being his best friend and all, I mean.

[... Sorry, Kirino, she's a little nervous about rejection and all.]

[doingthemistything]

... I can at least understand where you're coming from. But honestly? I don't think you'll have anything to worry about.

[ironoxides]

[... She's blushing thinking about it, so she's turning away from him with her hands on her hips.]

He's a nice guy, right?
And apparently has shitty mental barriers too, huh?

[presto_turn]

The Saw movies...?

[Blinkblink. That certainly felt out of nowhere...]

I don't think I've watched any of them the full way through. They're not my type of film, really.

[Horror is more Kirino's wheelhouse to start with, and when they get that gorefest-y...he'll pass, thanks.]

[doingthemistything]

Yes--to both, I mean.

[penaltykicktothehead]

I'm no expert on the subject, but with teenagers in particular, it probably depends more upon the individual's maturity. ...Mentally speaking.

[Le shrug.]

[ironoxides]

Huh.

Least I know he can't hide anything from me, then.

[She might have snerked in amusement, there.]

[ironoxides]

So if guts fly everywhere, you gotta hide your eyes, right?

[This doesn't bode well when it comes to her powers going out of control, then - she'll have to tell him to stop looking at her a lot.]

[doingthemistything]

Well, there you go.

[ironoxides]

Yeah?

Well, I guess I don't have to worry too much. He seems... kinda mature for his age, at least.
I dunno how it all works, though.

[A matching le shrug - she's been a shut-in all her life, after all.]

[ironoxides]

Hope he doesn't mind me poking around his mindscape, then.
Wonder what kinda shit I'd run into...

He's not like... mentally scarred or anything, right?

[doingthemistything]

Nah. Honestly, it's more like he's kind of sheltered...

whoa that was not the right icon

[ironoxides]

... Sheltered?
So... what. Tea parties?

[presto_turn]

...Sort of.

[You can't really "sort of" hide your eyes, but, when he's already been called a little kid...and it's not like he totally loses it at the sight of blood or anything.]

[ironoxides]

I guess my powers'll alter what people see me as, I guess.
It's all in your head, but I guess it'd be a little weird, looking over and seeing vines growing outta my skin.

'Swhy I'm asking. Can you put up with seeing it, even if it's not real?

[doingthemistything]

Well, not necessarily. But rich kid piano prodigy. Make of that what you will.

[penaltykicktothehead]

Well, there you go. The age gap is not even that severe, so...

[This one's not exactly a shut in, just... kind of terrible at socializing as a whole. We apologize in advance.]

Again, not an expert at these things.

[ironoxides]

... Okay.

A room fulla gold bars and music people, probably.
Better than a bone maze and a sicko children's hospital by a long shot.

[She's not fond of her own mind, but can you really blame her?]
