[Chocolates were supposed to be harmless, weren't they? So it was something else making her feel like this, all warm and needy and stupidly French. Tabernac. Home, it would be easy enough to get rid of this feeling. There were always things to do -- sports or even just going for a long walk in the snow. Nothing like piles and piles or snow or a good shootout to get your mind off of dirty things.

And so that's why Maggie's in a stream. Not on the bank or floating down it or anything like that, just standing there with water up to her knees, the bottom of her skirt wet from every time she bends over to pet one of the colourful fish in the stream.

She's well aware it's not dignified in the slighest but honestly, the thoughts in her mind right now need to go.]

Comments

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I don't think so, no.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

[She just... nods awkwardly, glancing over again.]

...

Are you... human... or... not...?

[You have nice legs regardless and she should really stop looking at them... ~___~]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I'm not. I... I mean, my body works generally the same way: I get headcolds and papercuts and things like that, but it doesn't really make as much of a dent in my life as it might for a human. Ermm... and my body usually gives me a pretty good sense of how my people are, and my lands. Which isn't exactly a human trait.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

[Not pasty--fair. There's a difference! Why yes it would... and she'll... just... be trying not to think about that kthx]

[She nods again.]

There is... certainly an interesting mix of people here...

[It seems as though she has approached her wtfery limit and is edging into acceptance... but it's always a fun ride!]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Yes.

All interesting sorts...

You okay?

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

[Is she alright? She's aware that this is... quite out of the ordinary for her and she's aware of it... but at the same time it's exceedingly hard to argue with it.]

Yes...

Are you...?

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Yup, right as rain.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

[That laugh earns her a bit of a look... and then Kenshin manages a small amused smile.]

You sound nervous.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

This place is distressing.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's true.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Mmhm.

But educational, too, eh?

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

Mm. Yes... that it is.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Learned anything else interesting since you got here?

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

Mm... [She considers it for a moment.]

Wolves are surprisingly good swimmers and apparently I sing well. [Both of these were news to her.]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Ah, wolves are good at everything. How did you find out the second? Have they had a music festival of some sort here?

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

Ah...

...

I suppose... the ordeal with the roses occurred before your arrival...?

...

Something odd was happening... I kept singing things I'd never even heard before even though I tried to stop. Several people who overheard commented as much, so it must be true to a point.


[ooc; sorry about the delay, work utterly kicked my ass this week x__x]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I showed up in the middle of the roses, actually. Made for a cheery greeting.

That is odd. But that's good! That you're not bad, I mean.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

I imagine it was...

[and she actually laughs on the second part--it's a very quiet barely there chuckle.]

Aa... I suppose so.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

You have a very pretty laugh, Kenshin.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

'Pretty'... huh...?

[She isn't sure how she feels at being called with such feminine descriptions--at least when it was known she was a woman. For years comments on her femininity had been insults by people believing she was a man, and which brought some anxiety over the concept of the truth being discovered.]

[This wasn't really the same situation though, by far.]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I like it. It's as nice as your smile would lead one to think your laugh might be.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

Aah... [ok... she's actually getting pretty pink now... that smile looking a bit more awkward. nope. doesn't know how to handle compliments at all.]

[she should... probably be handing a few back, shouldn't she...? >< except she isn't terribly good at giving them either...]

...

You... have a very nice smile too...

[and nice lips... now that she's... thinking about it... AH HA HA HA WHAT IS SHE DOING!?]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Thank you. That's very sweet.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

[Oh... don't... squirm like that... it's just making her think of... other things... that would probably make you squirm... and...]

[Oooooh >_<]

Mmm...

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

... So, umm. Lovely day, eh?
