Fashion Fury (Hime/Lerna)

Did the blonde-haired woman dislike the location of choice? Hime wondered. She was not entirely familiar with the customs of earth. She analyzed the woman and came to a preconceived conclusion of what she seemed to enjoy There were those who didn't enjoy a crowd and those who welcomed being the life of the party.

"It was certainly a nice dress," she replied casually, reflecting on the outfits they wore a few hours ago. Lerna was the type of woman who seemed as though she could make any dress look good. Still...

Did she make an error in judgment? Judging from her reaction, she wasn't entirely displeased with the locale. If anything, Hime could only observe the woman as she placed a fist at her hip and gazed at her with an impish smirk.


Although it was true she had desired to go to a place where they would avoid being in a large crowd, Hime felt as if she had made a slip-up of some sort. Even so, she carried on, as she smiled softly and gazed at the blonde-haired woman.

"Well, now that I have you to myself, I don't think it would hurt to get to know you better - though that is only possible if you feel comfortable sharing a conversation with me. Trust is not something that should be given freely. The only reason I brought you to a quiet place is that I thought you weren't one for large crowds, given all the chaos at the shop. Perhaps, I was wrong? Either way, my name is Hime Tatsumiya. It is a pleasure to meet you in a more formal manner than our meeting earlier, given our circumstances at the time."

Hime sighed in relief as the woman gave her a hearty smack on the back. She was not quite familiar with earth as she desired. She spent countless years in a prison cell and even before prison, a mass murderer who served the Kokuryuteshi. Social interaction and cues were commonly lost on her, but it's good to know Lerna was not concerned with the locale and simply wanted to have a good time. She smiled at the woman as she nodded her head and let her shoulders relax.

"No, you did just fine in being playful... I believe I was the one in the wrong for believing you found this location to be undesirable. I'm not as accustomed to earth as I'd like to be. I mostly work in my office in the soul society. Unless invited or seeking something out of curiosity, I don't travel here often. That said, it is a pleasure to meet you, Lerna."
