Hmm, sort of. It's nice to get out and see the sights, to take in what's really going on here. But I'm not really the sort of person to get off on the struggles of the oppressed, especially when the populace seems so wary of us Augmented, and so I've been keeping my distance. Generally.
( not counting the socialite woman he promptly ignores after this thread...
takasugi's eyes flit away in thought, a crooked finger paused under the cat's chin, much to its annoyance. )
That, and something feels off about the city in general. I'm cut off from the threads of magic at this point, now that I've got a human body, but it doesn't mean I can't still feel it lingering at my fingertips.
Hmm ♪ So Shinsaku is a shy boy? ( NOT what he said, girl. yet she still chuckles all the same, like that's a precious piece of information she just received. ) But, I can't blame them, you know? We're all totally different from them, and we arrived really suddenly. We know nothing about them, their world, their struggles... so it's fine if they're wary, right? That's why we have to win over their hearts ♪
( like some sort of otome game... she's sure with shinsaku's charms, he would be popular with the locals. and, she wonders, maybe what's so off with karteria is simply that it's a new place. even she herself is unsure whether she still has her herrscher powers here, but without them... who would she really be?
a waitress comes by their table to take their orders, and though she looks none too pleased about it, elysia hardly seems to really notice or be bothered by it. )
Maybe eating their cuisine will make you feel better. ( about the?? lack of magic???? ) Order anything you want— ah, but no spending all of a girl's budget, okay? I'll be really sad if you do!
( she won't, but! it's about the prospect of a cute girl being sad! it's about the threat!! )
the novelty of a paper menu isn't lost on takasugi, as he trails a slender finger down the lettering. )
But, sure. It shouldn't be too hard to enjoy ourselves and win them over. I'll take one of these intricate-looking ice cream floats, with all the sprinkles. And a cherry on top.
( a pause, and then: )
And extra chocolate syrup. Most men from my time wouldn't be caught dead ordering something like this, but. What the hell. I've never had it before.
