10th Inversion - Video/Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Forward-dated to after dark.]

--kidding? It's been a year and that woman--

[There's a seething hiss then, the Vine opening the mirror after the sun has set, and the profile of a familiar young woman with long dark hair can been seen in the shadows, the moonlight reflecting off of the white shift she's wearing.

Akiha tilts her head back, turning it up toward the sky, and closes her eyes. She counts to ten, calming her temper. Reaching up to tuck some hair behind her ear, a gold bangle on her wrist, she lets out a slow breath before looking around for her clothes. A cat skitters away as Akiha turns from the mirror muttering.]

Bring me back-- Don't even know if that idiot and brute are still here-- Ridiculous.

If the mansion isn't still here, I'm going to...

[Her voice trails off as she finds her clothes and walks out of view of the Vine, not even realizing it had been on. The Vine and Akiha still don't get along.]


[Eventually, Akiha finds the mansion, glad to see it's intact. She heads inside and immediately goes upstairs to her bedroom. Better catch her before the door is closed or she won't be seen until morning.]

[ooc: Akiha is back from her canon update.]

Action

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu makes no attempt to move. She just crosses her arms]

I'm here because I need to speak to you. About what happened at the party.

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

What party?

[Trying to remember things from a year ago is hard, Reimu. Especially when they involve someone she deemed as insignificant.]

It's late and I'd like to go to bed. Whatever it is you want to talk about, you can talk to me about it tomorrow.

Action

[nekomikoreimu]

The Party were I dared you to be my servant.

[She sighs]

I'll make it quick then. I.... apologize. I was still thinking you were a bad guy after the whole fairy incident.

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha tilts her head as she tries to recall that specific party. When she does, her eyes harden a little, but that's it.]

Oh. That party. Apology accepted.

But I would like you to understand that being upper class, being a noble - a lord, doesn't mean mistreating those that serve just because you can. That's what I was upset about. I'm not my father.

Action

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu nods]

That is what I have heard. However, I have had very bad experiences with nobles, as I assume Sanae has told you. A certain vampire named Remilia has given me a lot of crap since she has entered my life.

It is going to be hard for me to get rid of my... assumptions... of nobles.

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

Kochiya and I don't like each other, but she did tell me who this Remilia was when I asked her.

And whereas I am glad you're going to work on your prejudice, it is entirely possible that the vampire gives you 'crap' because you deserve it. But I don't know her and I don't really know you. I just remember how you seem to always assume the worst in people, like they're out to get you.

Action

[nekomikoreimu]

Assuming the worst in people has what has solved many incidents in Gensokyo. I deal with Youkai all the time, and the worst is usually exactly how they are until I beat them up.

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

You're not in Gensokyo and I doubt there are many youkai here. Maybe you need to stop making every 'incident' here your problem.

Action

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu huffs in annoyance.]

That's what I am going to try to do. My "incident" with you has made me rethink how I will handle things from now on.

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

That's good.

Now, will move out of my way?

Action

[nekomikoreimu]

Fine. But let me make something clear. I still don't like you yet. I don't see what others do in you I suppose.

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm not going to go out of my way to make you like me. If you do, you do. If you don't, you don't.

I don't really care.
