[So, we haven't seen Midori for a while. I wonder what's been happening with her

[ieyasachu]

[asd;fasdfasf no he doesn't know the poor girl but loneliness is never a good thing!!]

A-Ah, I'm sorry for intruding, miss, but ah- I'm sure you won't be all alone...!

[video] oh my god he's adorable

[pokemondolly]

[You'd think she'd be embarrassed about crying in front of someone she doesn't know, but, nope. Not at all.]

[She doesn't even attempt her normal welcoming smile for someone she's meeting for the first time. She just sniffles.]

S-so many of my friends are vanishing... Wh-what if it's me? What if it's my fault somehow?

[video] asdjkfsdf he just doesn't want her to cry ;~;

[ieyasachu]

[Oh no, her crying just breaks his heart. His shoulders slump and he's very quick to argue.]

I'm sure it's not! You obviously care about them so much- they would never want to leave you. It's unfair maybe... but I'm sure they never wanted to leave you.

[this is his attempt at a reassuring smile okay]

If anything, I'm sure you made their stay here all the more enjoyable...!

[video] I believe he has just made himself a new friend. SHE WILL NOT FORGET THIS.

[pokemondolly]

[She wipes at her eyes, looking slightly hopeful.]

Y-you think so?

[Her Houndoom barks in agreement somewhere offscreen and Midori laugh-sobs.]

Oh, wow, I'm kinda a mess, huh?

[video] HE LOVES NEW FRIENDS.

[ieyasachu]

[His expression softens and he nods gently.]

I truly believe so. Someone who cares so much for her friends cannot possibly be anything but a joy to have around.

I think it's fine- to express sadness at departure is the same as proving that the bond you had was enough to sway you so. Though I'm also sure that no one wishes to see you shed tears for long, miss. I know it broke my heart...!

[video] FRIENDSHIP ALL AROUND! \o/ also this is the only between happy and sad icon I have sob

[pokemondolly]

[That last comment? Actually receives a little hiccupy giggle. Her eyes are still watery, but, hey, smiles!]

Oh, you're sweet...

[She sniffles and brushes her hair out of her eyes.]

What's your name?

[video] sljasdf but it's so pretty and cute ;u;

[ieyasachu]

[He only responds with a chuckle.]

I only wish for you to smile. You have a nice one, if I may say so.

[But at the inquiry, he actually looks a bit sheepish.]

A-Ah...! I apologize. I am Tokugawa Ieyasu- but ah, please! Call me Ieyasu if you wish. And... your name?

[video] I end up using it waaaay too often, man XD

[pokemondolly]

[Compliments. Fastest way to cheer her up. She blushes a little and giggles. MIDORI'S BACK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. Red eyed and frazzled, but herself again.]

Very sweet~ [And she is oh-so-pleased about that.]

[She giggles again, because, awwww, he's cute when he's flustered.]

I'm Midori Komaki! You can call me Midori, or Dolly, if you want.

[video] o: I will keep an eye out for Midori icons...!

[ieyasachu]

[Awww. He just musters up a happy grin, because it's very nice to see her all peppy now.]

Then I thank you!

[Yet at the terms of address, he scratches the back of his neck.]

Are you sure...? We've only just met so I'd hate to cross any more boundaries than I already have.

[video] eee, thank yoooou ;w;

[pokemondolly]

[Midori: a whirlwind of emotions!]

Heehee, polite too~

[She tilts her head and looks thoughtful.]

Well, Midori's my name, and lots of people call me Dolly! So it's really no big deal~ I mean, I go by that online!

[video] no problem! c:

[ieyasachu]

[A pause of contemplation before he finally laughs and nods.]

Midori-san, then. It's very nice to meet you. I hope you're faring well enough now? Please let me know if there's anything else I can do...!

[video]

[pokemondolly]

[Midori smiles when he decides upon what to call her.]

You're japanese! [She seems pleased.] Seems like everyone I meet is from America these days...

[She giggles.]

I'll be okay... It was just... kinda a shock, you know? I've lost friends before, this was just... One of my best.

[video]

[ieyasachu]

[He laughs.]

I am! [except lol time periods-] Might America be one of the Western nations then? I've still yet to remember them all by name...

[But his expressions softens at that and he nods.]

Ah... I understand. This world parted me from one of my most cherished friends... but I still have one with me, and I do get to meet others as kind as yourself, so I believe it is still worth carrying on.

[video]

[pokemondolly]

[She giggles.] I'm japanese too!

[And... then there is a pause.]

Yep, it's a Western nation! What year are you from?

[The friend she just lost was from almost a century ago. She's used to this.]

Yeah, I sure know that feeling... A whole bunch of my friends from home aren't here either... But I've made lots of friends here! So it's okay!

[video]

[ieyasachu]

I'm from Keicho -- ! Is that... important?

[Insert numbers there. : |a Considering the feudal Japan year system and the lack of a specific dates in Sengoku BASARA.... it's easiest to translate it to maybe around 1600.

But he nods vaguely there before grinning.]

I'm glad. Certainly the friends you make here are just as indispensable as the ones back home.

[video]

[pokemondolly]

[WIIIIIIDE EYES.]

Oh, wow... I'm from 2009! That's like... 400 years difference!

[Midori nods in agreement!]

It gets kinda weird after a while... Like, you miss your friends from home, but you know you'd miss the people here if you left...
