March | Magoichi | 012

[illides]

[Yep. She was definitely lost.

This wasn't exactly a rare thing for March; she traveled so often that she had to occasionally get lost. It was just a fact of life.

But she always managed to get herself unlost. The fog seemed to be trying to confound her here, though; she had definitely never seen a place like this.

But March just sighs, slowly lowering her hood as she looks up at the sky.]

The moon will be shadowed tonight, hm...?

[That was a shame. The moon was her constant companion.

But she didn't seem too bothered--there was still a bit of a smile on her lips as she looked up at the sky.]

I'll be sure to!

But...chan?

[Heaaadtilt.]

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi's first thought is not that the girl does not understand the suffix. It is that she must have been wrong after all. ]

... I apologize. I thought you were a girl.

[illides]

[...k-kyaaaaa--]

You could tell?

[redbelltolls]

[ ...? ]

Yes. Was I not supposed to?

[illides]

No--I mean!

[...eheh...]

I'm...a boy...

[Kind of weak right]

[redbelltolls]

If you wish to keep up that act, you need to work on your reaction to being called out, March-chan.

[illides]

[Don't...judge her...]

I was just...taken by surprise.

People don't usually notice.

[redbelltolls]

You do hide it fairly well. It took some observation to assume correctly.

[illides]

Well, that's something at least.

[MINI HUFF.

...whyyyyyy]

[redbelltolls]

Why are you pretending to be a boy?

[ You're cute, child. ]

[illides]

[.......:C]

...Because I have to.

I don't have a choice.

But you're so lovely! It...would be amazing to be as lovely as you.

[redbelltolls]

May I ask why?

[ Though she will not press if March does not wish her too.

At the compliment, however, she shows the briefest amount of surprise. It is not often others than men say such things to her, and they often have their own reasons for it. ]

... you are kind. Thank you.

[1/2]

[illides]

...It's a long story, and a complicated one.

[2/2]

[illides]

[But the sad seems to last not at all as she brightens almost instantly.]

But I thank you for your kindness in return. I have to ask you to keep this a secret, if you are willing.

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi simply nods. ]

I can do that.

[ She does not need to know a reason, not really. ]
