synflux | [CLOSED] The March of the March

Why? Your hair is such a pretty warm color, too. You don't get to see the sunbeams in space, and it reminds me of that. Just like Ishmael's hair reminds me of a sunset!

[ So many pretty shades of hair here... ]

Their... oh, Mr. Vergilius?

[ Her eyebrows furrow thoughtfully. ]

I don't know, he kind of looked like he'd swallowed a lemon the whole time he was talking to me.

[ sunbeams... she wants to play with her hair so bad but she doesn't want to risk her nails, so she just flexes her hands instead. it's all she'll think about when she looks in a mirror now. ]

Right? I don't think he's smiled a day in his life. And he's hard to get along with... though I've been trying anyway.

[ something itches at the back of her mind, but remains shadowed -- leaving only a latent annoyance in its place, a question that'd drawn her ire.

... hmm. ]

He isn't bad looking, and I don't think a wide smile would suit him... but I think a little one would be charming.

Give it about thirty more seconds for the top coat to set and you should be good to go.

[ She sees those hands, missy. ]

I get it, though... trying to get certain people here to accept friendship has been more of a battle than I expected. But... [ March trails off, as though she's trying so hard to recall Vergilius' face. ]

I don't know, I think he's a little too intense for me. Like he's frowned so much his face looks more like a map. I'm not sure a smile would change much.

[ March, that's rude. ]

Rivers change landscapes all the time, March. A smile would too.

[ why is she defending him. ]

Your turn! Another name.

[ oh my god APOLOGIZE TO WINTER ]

I feel like a smile from him might make me more worried for my life, actually...

[ We continue to love Vergilius in this household. I'm sorry, Crystal. ]

Ummmm. [ Wow, maybe she should have written this down. ]

Izou...? Every time I see him, I can't help thinking that his hair would be so nice to pet, it looks fluffy...

[ AAAAAAAAAAAAGH WHY DIDN'T SHE DO IT WHEN HE WAS ASLEEP, SHE'S A FOOL. ]

[ she said what she said. ]

And the way he speaks is pretty fun, right? His hair does look really nice... but I kind of wanna touch his face. I've never felt stubble before.

[ or a beard. hmm. face touching. that itches something too, but the only thing she can think about is kaito and

oh, the room feels warmer than before. thirty seconds feels real long when you're thinking of a gaze. ]

Touch his face? I kinda think face-touching is a little too intimate, don't you--

--Whoa, are you okay? Your face is all flushed!

[ please say it's not the return of sudden cherry blossom-induced fevers??? ]

I'm fine! What makes face-touching so intimate? I mean, it's just... you know, a hand. And all.

[ her palm is tingling... it's like she can feel the warmth (cooler, from water, from) and she glances away. ]

There's really nothing to it.

There's so much to it!! In books and movies, a hand on the face is usually the prelude to a kiss!

[ Malkuth!! Malkuth!!!!!!! Please!! ]

[ wh ]

I didn't want to kiss him! I just-- he seemed far away, and-- I don't know, it felt like the right thing to do!

[ h e l l o ]

"He"?

[ Her eyebrows are so raised. ]

[ help. why is she looking like that. ]

... Um, Kaito. We got to talking about something pretty heavy is all, so... I was comforted when you hugged me, but I thought that might be too far, so I just-- you know.

[ vague gesture. puts her hand to march's cheek briefly before dropping it again. ]

That's all. He didn't seem like he had a problem with it, or thought anything much of it, so it's not a big deal.

... No, I think most people would feel something...

[ She half-expected that, honestly. ]

Kaito's hard to read, sometimes.

No kidding. But he hasn't really treated me any differently than normal since then, though I guess I wouldn't think to notice if he did since I didn't think anything of it...

[ mm. ]

I just... remembered the way he looked when I did it, that's all. It was nice.

Face-touching is also a prelude to romance. So just...

[ March 7th, absolutely an expert on romance, never mind that she does not remember if she's ever been in a relationship, speaking with absolutely professional authority on a topic she's not qualified to speak on-- ]

Just... keep that in mind before you do it, okay? Some people might misunderstand if you don't mean to, uh... follow through?

Right. Thanks for the heads up.

[ ... ]

He's, um, on my list too though. Kaito's eyes are really pretty, and he has a nice smile, and I always have a lot of fun around him even if he can be a jerk sometimes... He's cute when he blushes, too.

You got him to blush?? That's pretty good!

[ Hm. This sounds like a budding crush... She's definitely grinning. ]

It's easy! He's a really passionate person, so if you indulge him he can get swept up in his own work -- then you hit him with a compliment about it, or how he looks while he's engaged, and bam!

[ easy easy. ]

Or just call him sweet. His ears get so red.

[ it's soooo funny march. so funny. and cute. ]

... I feel like you stumbled on this totally by accident.

[ She's impressed, Malkuth. ]

And now I'm sharing the knowledge with you. Use it wisely, March. Want me to do your nails now?

[ seems like she's relaxed a lot through talking. ]

Sure! I was thinking the lighter blue?

[ Well, she doesn't appear to be as tense now. Girl talk wins the day yet again. ]

That'll be perfect! Just... sorry if it looks bad. I'll do my best.

[ there it is. she'll delicately prep the little brush the way she saw march do it, holding out her hand. gimme. ]

Ryoji's really sweet too. He and I had lunch together around White Day.

[ She promptly places her palm in Malkuth's, even as her eyebrow lifts again. Less "DEETS" this time, at least. ]

He's not a bad person, but he does flirt a lot, so be careful with that kind of person, okay? I get the feeling he's like that with everyone.

I think that's fine. I mean, it's nice to have someone that'll point out what they like about you no matter how soon you've met, don't you think? My face was aching with how much smiling I was doing around him.

[ ... very careful painting... ]

And he's cute when he blushes too.

[ she is really making her rounds with blushing. who is next. ]

As long as he's not trying to romance the world... [ SHE DOESN'T TRUST IT. But she holds her hand still, with a little hum. ]

Pretty girls really do have a lot of power when wielded right!
