❄ 2 | action

[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.]

Mm, I suppose you've got a point there. Still...

[Now why would you want to wear pants when you have such nice legs ;o;]

[She just laughs very lightly.]

Well... I think public bathing amid the same gender is... more accepted where I come from.

Yeah, cultural differences.

Ah, it used to be more common among my people, but I think imperialism sort of killed my being alright with it, on the whole. Which is ironic, considering I don't think Maman actually has a problem with it. Umm. France, I mean. My mother.

Is that so...?

[She pauses at that name... France. France she recognized as a European country. For a moment her befuddlement over Canada's explanation of being a country returned... considering Kenshin recognized that name...]

[But she didn't say more, not this time.]

Mmm, she's pretty open with things. Sort of reknowned for her... enthusiasm. Among the Nations, at least.

'Enthusiasm', is it?

[Kenshin smiles a little, eyes trailing the movement of her fingers.]

I see...

If you ever meet her, you'll understand what I mean. She's quite the character. Then again, as long as she's been around, she's bound to have personality.

How long is that...?

[that might have been a bit rude to ask--and considering how she was thinking of this to begin with it would make both of them... somewhat timeless... but...]

[ooc; e__e Kenshin's dead wife is haunting you Maggie...]

Umm... fifteen hundred years or so? I think. I may be wrong about that. She doesn't talk much about her Gaul days. Not with me, at least.

[Kenshin... trips over her own feet at that--1500!?--but manages not to completely faceplant herself.]

Aa... I see...

[ooc; lol, I wasn't paying attention XD;;;]

Ha ha, I guess I shouldn't tell you how old China is then, eh? ... Are you alright?

[Kenshin is... very much not used to being caught--and she reddened again, both for the embarrassment... and that physical touch. It was enough of a distraction that she didn't quite react to the mention of China.]

Aa... I'm fine...

Oh, good.

A-aa...

[She'll just... follow along again... yep...]

[ooc; and bed for me /o/]

[It really was a beautiful area, Kenshin had to admit it. Beautiful surroundings with beautiful company...]

This does look a bit more fitting.

[ooc; sorry, RL ate me there for a bit @@]

Doesn't it? I was thinking it'd be a bit more private, at least. And it's nice here.

It is...

[Ah yes... that... undressing part...]

[Ironically the stressful part in this for her isn't the undressing part--it's the revealing clearly any doubt that yes, she is, in fact, a woman.]

[But it wasn't so much further off than when she'd been dragged out of the rapids and left to wait for her belongings to dry on the shore.]

I haven't been swimming since I was a child... [not that being half drowned in a waterfall by her shishou really counted as 'swimming'...]

Oh, no? I'll keep an eye out for you, then. I couldn't imagine going too long without spending time in a river or bay or... you know. Body of water of some sort.

[She laughed a little, hesitating only a moment before pulling the sakabatou from her belt and resting it against the nearest tree and toeing off her zori and reaching for the tabi.]

I can still swim... I just haven't done so deliberately since then...

[She watched Canada pull her hair up while her own hands went to the ties of her hakama.]

Ah, well... that's still a long, sad time.

I suppose so...

[She can't help watching as the top is removed, the color returning to her cheeks. Kenshin notes the scars. He was more than a little used to seeing scars on men, on other women it was different, certainly.]

[She stepped out of her hakama, her kimono still covering most of her as she folded the fabric.]

Do you do any other sorts of outdoorsy activites?

[Oooo... thighs...]

[Oh right, she's supposed to be answering, isn't she?]

I... suppose everything I do would be considered an outdoorsy activity... [Since... she... sleeps outside and wanders around constantly @__@]

[She pulls at the men's obi, just dropping it onto the hakama. She does pause as she reaches for the two layers of kimono. It was so strange... not having to worry about that long held secret...]

[And finally she pulls the layers off, leaving only breast bindings (which were almost unnecessary with how flat-chested she was) and her fundoshi. Like Canada, her body was covered in scars--though the most notable, besides the one on her face, were atop each shoulder where it almost looked as though someone had tried to bore holes down into her torso. There was also an apparent puncture wound scar at the front of her right shoulder and a long slash across her back. It certainly looked like someone had tried very hard to kill her several times over...]

[ooc; Those are the major injuries she sustained when trying to save aforementioned wife e__e; I figure they're the only really *bad* scars she has, others are probably just nicks and scratches and crap]

Oh. That sort of lifestyle, then...?

... I'm sorry.
