[ Is that a head of red hair bobbing up and down from behind a small stalled crowd of students? It is! And once she finally excuses herself enough and finds a break in the wall of boys, she claps her hands together and then waves. ]

Patchy! Patchy, you came...?

[ Oh hey, that was her other girl friend.

And they were totally kissing. ]

[ Quietly, a bit stunned, her hand still in the air. ] - and you found Marisa.

[verrouillefille]

Um...

Hello, Meiling. You know Marisa, I believe. -A W K W A R D-

[a_digital_witch]

[Marisa kept her hand on Patchouli as she gave Meiling a grin and then winked at her.]

Heya, China. Lookin' nice, ze.

[notsogreatwall]

[ A look back and forth between the two, and she lowers her hand. ] Eheh, of course... [ Meiling is actually blushing. There isn't a whole lot of call for that, ever.

But that doesn't stop her from smiling at Marisa. ] You think so? Thank you~ You two look very, um, chic!

[verrouillefille]

... To be honest, I would have awfully preferred to tell you about this myself rather than you coming to see me, but in hindsight, this was bound to happen, wasn't it?

... Meiling, Marisa and I... Well, we're together. You know.... Together together. -And holding her hand for emphasis. Just so the point was one hundred percent clear.-

[a_digital_witch]

[And just to help with the clarification, because Meiling has her moments of being denser than a brick wall, Marisa squeezed Patchouli's hand and grinned.] I've got the prettiest girlfriend in all of France. No, the prettiest, period. Especially all dressed up like this.

1/2

[notsogreatwall]

[ And for a long moment it seems as if she is having one of those dense moments as she leans in close to the shorter girls, a hand on each of their shoulders, her blue eyes looking down at their joined hands as if trying to figure out some kind of puzzle. ]

2/2

[notsogreatwall]

[ But, you know, they were making it pretty clear, and she seems for a moment as if she's going in for a big hug but that motion slams to a sudden halt when she remembered the last time she did that.

Well. That's fine. She'll just hug Patchouli twice as much instead.

Sheesh. You'd think the redhead was giving her friend away for life or something. ]

[verrouillefille]

-And as happy as she had been before, Patchouli was absolutely beaming with Meiling's blessing.- Thank you... Thank you so much...

[a_digital_witch]

[There was that moment of tensing from Marisa when she felt that urge of Meiling's to hug them both, but she relaxed again when the redhead turned the attention to Patchouli. She patted Meiling on the shoulder and smiled.]

Don't worry, ze. Ain't never gonna let anything hurt her.

[notsogreatwall]

Don't thank me! [ She whispers, because honestly Meiling is the one who should be thankful. She's just so proud of her long-time friend overcoming social hurdles that the redhead just might cry! ]

[ Though she's all smiles, she looks over at Marisa in response to that promise. ] If you did, I know where you stay. [ As protective as she is over her closest friends, everyone knows that by that tone she means it as a simple statement of fact, and not a threat. Meiling would never threaten anyone under any circumstances.

...right? ]

[ She lets Patchy go, then and looks between the two of them once more. ] How long?

[verrouillefille]

Several months now, actually... We've kept things a secret until now.

[a_digital_witch]

[Marisa refrained from pointing out that it'd been a secret by Patchouli's order.]

Seemed like the best idea at the time cause we weren't sure how everyone would react. I mean, I'm from Japan, and that's pretty far away. Paris ain't all that far away, so... yeah.

[notsogreatwall]

Wow, that's a really long time...

...wait, why does distance matter? [ In this case, or any, really. ]

[verrouillefille]

My parents... It is likely they won't approve.

[a_digital_witch]

Corinne found out a couple weeks ago. She's okay with it, but when parents have plans for their daughter to marry for the good of the family... They get weird about things like this.
