[There's a quiet rustle, and the blur of green gradually begins to separate into whites, blacks, browns. An eye fills the mirror, framed by a thin black rim.

Any minute now, the eye will blink.

Any minute now.]

[himemiya_anthy]

Nonetheless, I apologize. [Her tone isn't particularly apologetic, but neither is it rude.] I don't usually have conversations through vines.

[reallyerotic]

That's fine, don't worry about it.

How are you finding it so far? Not that difficult, right?

[himemiya_anthy]

Ah, it's hard to say. [Her tone is doleful.] I'm not sure that I'm doing it right.

[reallyerotic]

Looks to me like you have a pretty good grasp on it so far.

[himemiya_anthy]

Thank you.

[She directs a cheerful smile at the other girl's chin. It's only really visible around the edges; it doesn't reach her eyes.]

That's kind of you to say.

[reallyerotic]

Is it? Seemed pretty obvious to me.

[himemiya_anthy]

Sometimes things that seem obvious to some can be difficult for others to see.

[reallyerotic]

Quite the profound statement, miss.

[himemiya_anthy]

[Anthy beams.]

Thank you!

[reallyerotic]

Do you have a name I could call you?

[himemiya_anthy]

Yes, I do.

[Still smiling.

A moment passes. And another.

It's entirely possible she's just going to leave it th --]

My name is Himemiya Anthy.

[reallyerotic]

Nice to meet you, Himemiya-san.

[himemiya_anthy]

And you...

[She pauses, waiting to see if a name is provided.]

[reallyerotic]

Suruga Kanbaru, B-Dash specialist and former love slave.

[himemiya_anthy]

[Anthy accepts this with a polite murmur of:]

Oh, how nice.

[A beat.]

B-Dash specialist?

[reallyerotic]

Exactly.

I'm also a very avid reader.

[himemiya_anthy]

[It's good to have a well rounded variety of interests, after all.]

What kind of things do you like to read?

[reallyerotic]

Romance is by far my most favorite genre. Ah, I can't ever get tired of it!
