[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.]

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?

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

Yes... it is...

...

Perhaps a little warm...

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Mmn, that's what I was hoping the water would help with, but...

1/2

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

Aa... I had the same thought myself...

It works better if you actually get into the water though.

2/2

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

[;dlgkasjdg;laksdjgak--she just said that out loud, didn't she...?]

[W-WELL AT LEAST SHE DIDN'T POINT OUT THE GENERAL LOCATION OF CLOTHING OR LACK THERE OF IN SUCH ACTIVITIES, RIGHT!?!?!?!]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

... Kenshin?

Do you want to go swimming with me?

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaah--

[how red do you suppose a person's face can get before they actually start bleeding? Because it looks like Kenshin is trying to find out. She keeps her eyes steadfastly DOWN... though they do slowly drift back over to Canada's feet regardless.]

I... would not be opposed... if you wanted the company...

[WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WHAT IS SHE DOING? This is not a good idea. Now would be the time that she should get up and go. EVADE. EVADE. EVADE.]

[But oooooooh... legs... FAILURE.]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

We should go further up the stream. Where there are... less... eyes.

[heart0fsword.livejournal.com]

[@_@ quite a bit of it... actually...]

[And she can't help but turn as Canada gets up--and has a marvelous close-up view of said legs that she keeps oggling--huuuur]

[Eyes up, Kenshin!]

[This actually gets a small half smirk.]

Are you shy, Maggie-san...?

[This was a fairly silly question--considering Kenshin herself was still flushed like it was going out of style--but she was more than used to the concept of public bathing--even if she'd never actually participated for obvious reasons.]

[Still, she rose herself, lifting her sword and placing it back in her belt.]

But a deeper water would be better, ne?

[Yes... deep... cold... water. Cold water. Cold water. AH HA HA HA HA...]
