[ You know, I feel like we should totally run into each other except I am an assassin and too cool for this to happen so instead I will just

lurk somewhere, standing in a corner or hide in a tree, whatever.

You can see me though, if you're looking. Teenage assassin at 12 o'clock or something, hi ]

[ I'm not sure how being an assassin makes you too cool to meet people, Ja'far, but Hakuei isn't too cool for that, because she's a princess and also is less silly -

so when Hakuei turns the corner, only to see Ja'far, who is unrecognizable to her due to his age (and also due to normally being on like the other side of the Kou Empire whenever Sinbad comes to visit), she smiles cordially, bowing with fist in hand. ]

Good afternoon.

[ What do you mean less silly, I am the cool kid and can also hurt people and anyway, I am okay with having the social skills of a dried plum

...do you actually expect me to be all civilised when the only reason I am not ninja'ing away is that I saw that particular greeting before. ]

You think you can call it a good one?

[ I am also a cool kid and can also hurt people but I choose not to for the sake of world peace!! Also, I am not a kid, so that's a few points for me. ]

Yes, because it has been good to me. Perhaps it's different for you?

[ and here it is again, because she's a sparkly person. ] I am the first princess of the Kou empire, Ren Hakuei. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ I am actually a teenager but it's not like I look like one. I mean, I am normally 25 and don't look it either :/ Good thing there is no carding in Sindria

Unsure how to deal with the rest of the information, are you pulling my leg here]

What I think doesn't matter to you. Isn't that an odd way, to introduce yourself?

Edited 2012-10-28 10:25 (UTC)

[ you look like a babby 110% of the time, but it's okay. Everyone in Sindria is babbies, just look at Pisti.

She's not, gosh, why would you even think that. ]

On the contrary, your opinion matters a great deal to me. You are a person with thoughts and feelings, after all. [ she pauses then, looking curious. ] Is it? I have always introduced myself this way. Could you show me the proper, normal way to introduce oneself?

Edited 2012-10-28 10:39 (UTC)

[ Pisti is also still in her teens, I am meant to be in my mid-twenties. Also, are you saying that Hinahoho looks like a baby, I really don't want to know what his mother would look like

hey, it's called #magilife which often comes with lots of unhappy backstories, just look at your bro, girl ]

I don't introduce myself to people. It's not like you're aware of someone you don't even see, is it.

It's kind of pompous to tell people that you're a princess and dangerous, too. You're risking your head, going around like that.

[ He's a kawaii babby, okok.

H-hey, that's a low blow. We don't talk about my brother like that!! ]

But I can see you, boy. Doesn't that mean I'm aware of you?

To hide my status is to be dishonest to those around me, and if I am to gain trust, I shouldn't do anything that could discredit myself. Besides, it's no more dangerous than to hide my identity - and it's not as if I am so helpless that I can't protect myself. [ smiles ] But thank you; I appreciate your concern.

( you know, talking with you is like reading the first few pages in booklets meant for electronic devices.

Thing is, we don't even know what electronic devices are, and books are not quite a thing yet either. So you're kind of

confusing. Give me a moment to work through this y/y)

(okay, another moment. You didn't just imply what I think you implied right??

Right?!)

Have y'completely lost your mind! Who said anything 'bout being concerned?!

I've better things t'do than t'care 'bout random strangers who wouldn't know common sense if it'd bite them where it hurts!!

I'm sorry, I take it back then. [ smiiile. Ja'far, why so cute. ] I hope I didn't offend you, boy. [ rrreaching out to gently pat Ja'far's shoulder ]

(oh my god make it stop asdsada the next thing you'll do is ruffle his hair, right?! Sinbad already does this and he tried to kill that bloke

g-going to grab your wrist now, kind of before any more touching can happen. It's a fast move on Ja'far's side, and a bit harsh too, but the look on his face is mostly uncomfortable and endlessly hissy)

You can't just--!! Who's t'say I'm not going t'rip your hand off?! D'you touch animals you know nothing 'bout, too?

Eh? [ s-snrk. that actually was really funny to me. #royalty don't need to keep their hands to themselves ] Ah, do you not like being touched?

[ It's not that she's underestimating him, she just doesn't think that he'd attack her. ] But you aren't an animal, child. You're a boy - and I certainly don't see why you'd rip my hand off!

Seems like your eyes are doing their job at least. Don't think I'm impressed though! Who's t'say that I don't enjoy killing for killing's sake?

( annnnd I don't even know why I'm explaining this to you. Or trying to explain this to you. Did you curse me, woman?! Or is it just my fate to deal with stubborn royalty? #screwkarma )

Not that it matters. 's not like you'd enjoy it if somebody you don't trust would touch you.

[ At that point she kneels down slightly to look at Ja'far from eye level, expression changing into a stern one. ]

Killing is wrong. One should never relish the idea of taking away life when one hasn't the right to it. [ very firmly, ] You must never kill to satisfy yourself; such a dire action should only ever come from necessity. [ she takes his hand (the one that's holding her wrist) with her other hand and squeezes it gently, once. ] But I pray that you never need to carry such a heavy burden. Such a thing isn't meant for children.

[ after a moment, Hakuei smiles, standing upright again and releasing Ja'far's hand. ] I'm sorry. I'll be more mindful of that, fair child.

I had no idea that idealists could survive this long. From what I've seen they get themselves gutted before they reach your age. I wonder who hovered around you so you could stay all trusting and dumb.

( He moves his hand out of sight again, after this, and the expression on his face has gone blank, slow. Still, something about the set of his mouth seems twitchy, too sharp to be boredom )

Assassin. You can call me that instead of your bullshit names. That's what most people do. ( hiiiii, I am actually your level of dumb x infinity (and I also throw temper tantrums, cool??) )

[ blinks, a little shocked at that name. ]

Ah... [ a child? like him, an assassin -- ]

Well, surely, that isn't your name. [ smiles.. ] Is it? I'd like to know that. [ pauses] Besides, the title doesn't fit a cute boy very well in this place, where killing for hire is unnecessary. While we are away from our home worlds, is it not better to shed that identity?

( go on and look shocked, I shall just look all kinds of incredulous and lean way closer into your personal space )

Don't you ever get angry?! All those things and you managed to just care about--

( crossing my arms because I am not defensive or anything ) we don't even know how long they'll keep us trapped here. Relaxing our guard is just going to cost us.

Edited 2012-11-16 05:52 (UTC)

[ well that's definitely not an action I expected from you. Hi there? ]

It wouldn't do well to be quick-tempered, [ is all she says in response, before taking a moment to consider the latter statement. ] this is true, but the same can be said for the opposite. Because we don't know how long we will be trapped here, there's no profit in clinging onto titles that only matter in our home world.

( hiiii, just don't expect me to wave at you or something. Could be that I just wanted to blink at you with my snake-eyes and get belly scritches.

..yes, sure )

You can't tell me that you don't expect to have to fight for your survival, here!! There's magic all over the people here have killed before as well. It's not like we're suddenly in some kind of paradise.

[ That's an odd habit, but maybe later Hakuei can give you belly scritches and have good relations with you. ]

Fighting for survival and being hired to kill are two different things, boy. This world is not so peaceful that we may drop our arms, [ wryly smiling. what a wonderful world that would be ] but in this place, our past riches and experiences mean nothing. And our presence here is temporary - who would hire you and can ensure riches for someone's death?

Riches, you don't seriously think that someone like me'd get money for that. ( I actually sound like a brat despite the topic, maybe we can call this magic?? )

Assassination just means that you act before they can consider going for your throat.

[ I was under the impression you were always a brat though ]

That's the same as killing for no reason! [ frowning ] Attacking someone before they attack is wrong. How are you qualified to judge whether someone lives or dies?

Princess ( and the flat, flat way I pronounce this probably strengthens your always-a-brat theory ) how do you think your guards keep you safe? You think they let people trespass without hurting them?

That's different. [ well at least you're a cute brat? not so much right now, but. ] Trespassers are imprisoned, not killed, and questioned. It's nothing like killing someone before they can kill.

You think it's better, to take away someone's freedom instead of their life? It's not like you'll have much use for the one if you lack the other.

You make it sound like you've an idea what actually happens to your prisoners. Are you sure about that?

Depending on their motive, they can be released. However, crimes such as trespassing must be handled with a fitting judgment; my forgiveness is not easily given to those with the intent to harm.

[ she straightens up to her full height, shedding her gentle tone for one of authority. ] My soldiers adhere to my every command, and I myself am the one who foresees the punishment of those who go against me. That is my duty as the leader of my troops.

You make it sound like you're more than some kind of boring princess. That sounded more like a fighter than anything.

( and woa, see? I can totally grin. Apparently the devil-may-care attitude was something I had on my own, even before my idiot King made it worse) You can't let yourself get corrupted then, or else everyone will fall with you.

I apologize for giving you the wrong idea. [ She smiles a bit herself, just a little. ] Let me amend it - I am the general of the Northern Subjugation troops.

[ Well, at least you can smile! She was thinking maybe you didn't. ] For the sake of my world, I will never fall into corruption. [ she cups her hand, fist meeting it ] This, I swore to my people. [ Although, if she did ever fall - she expects her soldiers to cut her down. ]

They don't keep you locked away in a golden cage then? That's pretty different from what I've seen on my rounds. ( excuse you, flashbacks show that I could totally smile - well, in the face of danger but a smile is a smile?? )

Think I'd like to see you fight.

( and I am still grinning, matching icons or not. #that'swhatrandomicon is for?? )

Neither gold nor silver can be used to hold me. After all, how can I call myself a general if I'm not in the front lines with my troops? [ This is true, I guess, but I'd like to see you smile more innocently than that. ]

Oh? [ She takes a moment to entertain the thought - well, it's not something she likes to do, but if it's something like sparring.. ] If you'd like, boy. The sword gets dull without practice.

( what is this innocence you're talking about and can I eat it ) I've heard prophecies that are less fancy. Isn't it possible to breathe and talk like someone at ease?!

Heh, I was talking about an actual fight but - sure, I don't need magic to fight. ( except for how my eyes aren't quite normal but who cares )

[ you might be able to, but you might also find that it's very sweet ] Ah.. forgive me. [ but how do I talk casually? I..... ]

I won't draw my sword unless it's for my or someone else's safety. [ look at those contractions, this is casual talking ] So then, boy, when and where shall we spar?

( grrrreat, I'm gonna have cavities in a world without dentists?? good thing we're stuck in Asgard, they have doctors '-' ) It's always the same with you old people. You either talk too casually or you sound like dustier than anything,

Doesn't matter, if you ask me. You shed blood the moment you hurt someone. Protection comes with a price, too. ( I am back to making blankfaces again, 'lo and behold the reason why I understand Masrur so well ) There's a park here. That should be enough.

[ Yep yep! She smiles sheepishly now, hand coming up to her face to touch her cheek. ] My.. I'm sorry. I'll try not to sound ancient from now on. [ although, if she knew this was Ja'far — the right-hand man of Sinbad — she'd be a bit amused. ]

I'll prolong that moment for as long as I can, even at the cost of my own safety. [ with a pause, she nods— and then rethinks it. ] Will there be children there?

There's a guy. He's pretty useless and he's annoying, but he could teavj you a thing about that. ( a slow, heavy blink ) He'd have to learn to keep his hands to himself first though ( one day you'll meet my older self and. things will get awkward. yay??? )

What does it matter to - no, don't start. (disgruntled!! no more talk about morals pls ) What makes someone a child to you? Easier to answer for me if I know how your weird head works.

A.. guy. [ slowly repeating. that's... that's a new word to add to her vocabulary. ] I'd love to meet this guy. [ with a smile, and pleaaaasantly being ignorant about that last bit! ]

Ah.. someone who is as young as, or younger than, you.
