Backdated--Post meeting Lithuania

[Koharu stayed inside for the rest of the day, not wanting to risk meeting one of the doppelgangers of Sora or Lithuania...Trust them to do that. To leave and sacrifice themselves. Stupid selfless knights.]

[Oh shoot she's crying again[

CURRENT TIMES

[She's staring at herself in the mirror. Staring. The tattoo on her chest is strange, something she's never seen before. She touches it and shakes her head. Why does it feel right though. She smiles at the sight for a moment and a flash of red hair, blue eyes, a smile--]

She was always a little bit stupid.

[Wait who?]

Anywhere on the streets
CURRENT TIMES

[She curled in on herself, stepping to the side if the person nearby was male. She didn't trust them, with how easily they hurt her. How easily they tormented her and how every male saw her as fair game. No one here had hurt her yet...but it was only a matter of time right? She dropped her gaze to the sidewalk to avoid their eyes and tucked her basket in closer]

[Why is he outside, it's freezing out here.. Walking by, wrapped up for the winter when he notices her wince as a man walks by her. Yeah, going over.]

Koharu? You alright? Did that guy say something to you?

[Because Cuba will punch them for you.]

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[Remember the girl who kept her head down and didn't say much and just looked at the ground quietly--no? Well that's Koharu right now]

N-No...no he didn't say anything.

[Walking by with some laundry.]

....Is something the matter?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

...Did I always have this tattoo?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Of course....I mean.


I think so?

[It's the movements away from the men that draw Kira's attention to the girl, and she frowns softly, moving up towards the girl, although keeping her voice gentle as she speaks.]

Excuse me, are you alright?

[So he's just chillin as he's heading down the street. This whole fake people thing has got him unsettled, but he figures it's business as usual unless Mustang says otherwise. He's considering shaving off his retirement goatee, since there's no real reason to keep it. He's as back to active duty as he could be without being in Amestris. And he usually had better luck with the ladies when he was clean-shaven.

And then his mind wandered to the beauty of the women in this city, from Chandra to all of those lovely ladies he's had the pleasure of speaking to on the phone. He hoped at least a few of them were his type. Oh, and if only his "wife" was a bit more shapely. He might not mind living with her as much.

And so this is where Havoc's mind was when he lost track of who else might be on the sidewalk with him. Thus running a high risk of bumping into a small, scared teenager.]

...Why did I?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Let me see.....


Maybe it's something the town's doing? Do other people have tattoo's?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[She falters and smiles shyly at the woman] I'm alright...Thank you for you concern.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

[Kira smiles back faintly, but she knew that movement, so she wants to be sure]

Are you sure? You looked, um, worried about something.

[Well, it was mostly truthful]

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[Koharu tries her best to avoid him, but he's not really moving to one side and she can't really get around him, so the collision is inevitable. She winces and then backs up, dropping almost immediately into a bow. Maybe if she's properly apologetic he won't be too mad.]

I'm so sorry sir, I just couldn't get around--I'm sorry.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I just...it's complicated, but thank you.

[Mostly truthful]

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of...[She touches it and turns to Ukraine] It's like...two Vs? Like the western letters.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

[Kira gives another gentle smile, and she really debates just letting it go. The girl's said she's fine, yet that set of movements is never good. Kira's own history made her avoid men, made her draw in just as this girl seemed to be doing, and it was horrible for her. For so many years, she felt like she wasn't really alive. So it takes her a moment, but Kira finally decides on something and leans in so only Koharu can hear her]

This may be too forward, but you seemed really afraid of the males, even the drones. I used to back away from men like that too, and I felt really lonely and scared because of the reason why, so... Well, I just want to make sure you have someone you can talk to if you need to.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

....I'll keep an eye out. Maybe you ...get it in the future in your world? I've heard we can get future things in the mail sometimes.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[Koharu stiffens and closes her eyes but as she speaks, Koharu relaxes. By the time she opens her eyes again, they're shimmering with tears]

...Thank you. I--I'm Izaki Koharu...Japanese order.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Oh...Yeah maybe that's it. Has to be something like that.

[smoking-gunner.livejournal.com]

[Oops, back to reality. He reaches out to steady her.] Whoops. Sorry, are you alri--Hey, it's alright, no harm done. [Smile!] Are you okay?

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

[Kira smiles at that]

If you put mine in Japanese order, I'm Kashino, Kira. It's nice to meet you, Izaki-san.

[ghastlyinnghost.livejournal.com]

Hmmm? Who are you talking about, Koharu?

_{[Coming in through a wall......]}

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[She flinches back from his touch, for just a second, and then drops her gaze to the ground, nodding] I'm alright, thank you.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[She blinks up at her] Oh hello...I don't actually remember Pamela.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[She smiles shyly] It's very nice to meet you Kashino-san.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

That must be it.
