[Written / Action] slightly backdated to the afternoon~

[meshninja]

Okita-san, I'll be going out today. If you require anything, feel free to ask.

[Susumu had the journal's little camera covered at that bit, hiding himself from view

Because maybe I should make a habit of him hitting on women that are actually men.

[Isamu is out for a casual walk, because keeping active at this point is important. He's thinking of maybe even stopping by the item shop when he's done, if only because his talk with Usopp made him curious.

He catches sight of the 'woman' in passing and stops. While there were plenty of others here that were apparently from Japan, he didn't run into too many this... cultured. The teen changed direction, following the woman down the street.]

Hey there. You just arrive?

But this is way more awesome.

[meshninja]

[Naturally Susumu heard his approach before Isamu called out, but that doesn't stop him from offering a warm smile in response.]

I believe so. How did you know?

[causeblocked]

Call it a hunch.

[His smile is a bit cocky as he gestures toward the clothes on her arm, but that isn't really intentional.]

[meshninja]

['She' follows his gaze, then smiles, lifting her arm to display the dress more clearly.] Oh, yes, I found this when I woke up. It was quite alarming...

[causeblocked]

I would imagine so. [Isamu sticks his hands in his pockets and looks around.] Have you talked with anyone else here yet?

pick a pronoun and stick to it, self

[meshninja]

No, I have not. [Suddenly looking a little flustered, he folds his hands together and offers a formal bow.] Please forgive my rudeness- I am Sen.

[causeblocked]

[The other teen bows back.] Isamu. You must be pretty rattled by all this.

[meshninja]

Perhaps a little. [If she is, she isn't showing it. Though that occurs to Susumu a bit too late; should he be obeying the calm facade of a well-bred Japanese lady or the realism of a lost, frightened woman? This isn't exactly a normal situation.] ...I can't help but feel reassured with such a helpful young man.

[causeblocked]

[Aw, shucks. Isamu gives a friendly smile (which still looks a bit too much like a smirk) and might be turning a little pink in the face.]

Well, I'm not sure how much actual reassuring I can do. We're all pretty much stuck here, and this place isn't anywhere near where you came from.

[meshninja]

[Man, Isamu, learn how to smile pretty-like. Susumu can totally teach you.]

That's alright. This land is very beautiful, so I'm sure I'll settle in before too long.

[causeblocked]

[Hey, he has kind of a pretty smirk...]

Heh. You're pretty accepting of all this.

[meshninja]

[But it could be better okay 8|]

Perhaps it's my training? [Which is true enough.]

[causeblocked]

Your training? [Isamu tilts his head, honestly curious.]

[meshninja]

A young, unmarried woman must always be prepared to accept her situation, even if sudden changes occur.

[causeblocked]

...Huh. That's very [old fashioned] classy of you.

[meshninja]

That is the nature of my world.
