So why did he think trying to talk to people was a good idea? He's proven he's no good at it! This is why he should've just sat there and stayed quiet!]
[ She's quiet for a moment, and she glances out toward where other people are passing by. A thoughtful expression crosses over her face, and she nods. ]
... It does. [ More than she'll probably ever admit. ] It's nice to just take things one day at a time, isn't it?

Well, this is awkward.
Wheeeeeze.]
S-so it's good that these are so durable, then! Because getting it replaced would be... Be a hassle, I'm sure...
no subject
[ Ah, she's smacking herself internally. This is great and not at all awkward. It's fine. ]
Um. My name is Mira, by the way.

Oh, uh. I'm... Kaede.
[That pause wasn't super obvious at all!]
no subject
It's nice to meet you, Kaede. ... It's a lot to get used to, isn't it? I've... never been around so many people.
[ Like... that's not entirely a lie. Usually she just kinda blends in, so being acknowledged is kind of awful and terrifying.
... Not entirely bad, though. Her hangups are a her problem. ]
no subject
He nods, slowly.]
I've never seen this many people in one place. It's...
[Too much, he thinks, but he bites his tongue. He can't just shit talk this place!!]
Strange. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to it.
no subject
It's very strange, I agree. And it's so big.
[ She's lived in big cities before, but Sumarlok seems like it's on a whole different level. ]
no subject
[Well, he's never been in a city before! He's only been above ground period a few times in his life! This is all very new.]
...But it's kind of nice to just feel like a small piece of the whole. I-if that makes any sense.
[It's... Nice, to not be special.]

[He follows her gaze, tilting his head in thought for a moment before his nose wrinkles.]
I'm still not sure about this whole intimacy, though.
[He sounds almost like a pre-teen boy talking about cooties,,,]
no subject
Yeah, big mood. Mira actually turns a little pink, though, and she clears her throat. ]
Neither am I, actually. ... I have to wonder why I was brought here.
[ She's never even, like, kissed anyone?? ]
no subject
But Kaede wonders, too.]
Maybe it's all just... Accidental? But why they wouldn't send us home I'm not sure, then...
[Hmmm.]
Are you bad with people?
no subject
[ Is she bad with people? Oh, Kaede. ]
I... am, a bit. Aside from my brother and best friend, anyway.
[ Hm! Sad! ]
no subject
[Hm. He feels like he shouldn't have asked, but hey! This probably means she's at least not as bad as he is!!]
...I don't think you've been doing that badly?
[Hm,]
no subject
[ Huh! Color her surprised. Pleasantly so, though? ]
... Thank you. I... suppose it's hard for me to really see that.
