two ♪

[Kururu's sitting on the floor of the plan and in her lap lie a bunch of pieces of metal varying in size and shape. Some are barely visible to the naked eye and could easily be lost in on the Plane. She is happily at screwing the pieces together and carefully making sure everything is well balanced and in order before moving onto the next piece.

Next to her is a small box of tools and even more parts. There's even a half completed AT or roller skate for all who have no idea what it is. She's made quite a mess of herself here. Feel free to trip on something and/or bother her!]

I feel almost as if I'm cheating by bringing all of this with me.

I do it all the time back in my own world... Um, as for the parts, there are plenty of them where I live so you don't have to worry.

[polarization]

... where you live?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not on the Plane, but back home in my own world in Tokyo there's a place where I can easily harvest as many parts as I need...

[polarization]

... Harvest?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Yes.... it's hard to explain, but trust me on it! It won't trouble me to make you your own pair.

[polarization]

Why?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Why what?

[polarization]

Why would you offer to someone you don't even know?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

.... M, my name is Sumeragi Kururu. What's yours?

[polarization]

[ He resists the urge to hang his head, though it bobs just a little. ]

A name doesn't mean much when you still don't know someone's personality. You know?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[Kururu puts down everything she's been halfheartedly tinkering with and looks right at you.]

M, maybe... but it's a start, isn't it? Back home, I'm known as a Tuner and we would fix anyone's AT's no matter what kind of a person they might be because everyone deserves a place in the sky.

So that's why... I don't mind making a pair for someone like you. Besides, I think you're a very nice person.

[polarization]

[ What is it... with this place... and ridiculously nice people? Sefton has to avert his eyes when she turns such a gaze on him. ]

... d-do what you want.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[Kururu smiles at him even though he's not looking at her. She figures he can feel her smile even if he can't see it.]

Then can I see your foot? I need to make sure I make it in the right size.

[polarization]

[ He gives her a quick worried glance before hiding it behind indifference. ]

Can you do it without touching?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Ah- I can.

[She gets a little fidgety and worried.]

Do you not like being touched?

[polarization]

[ He doesn't look so enthused at her fidgeting. ]

... Yeah.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Then I'll do my best not to touch you.

[Does her best to stifle her fidgeting.]

[polarization]

[ He frowns a bit at the fidgeting, but gets a few steps closer - not horribly close, but it should be close enough once he stretches his legs out. He sits and begins untying his shoelaces in silence. ]

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[Kururu, while still worried, relaxes a bit and prepares to examine the foot's characteristics so she can make on that will fit as well as she can without having to touch him.]

[polarization]

[ He gets his shoe off and then pulls at the sock. Bundling it up, he stuffs it in the shoe, then sets it on the other side of his leg. He seems a bit nervous, but stretches her leg out so that she can see. ]

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[Kururu close examines the foot without getting too close or touching it, as promised, however she can't help but laugh at the silliness of it all. Not to say that it is but the fact that he looks so nervous.]

You know, you never told me your name.

... *his leg (i hate when i notice typos too late)

[polarization]

[ He huffs a bit and looks away. Then realizes he can't see if she's getting too close and looks back. ]

It's... [ mumblemumble ] Sefton.

it's all good!

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[Kururu can't help but laugh some more. Sefton's stubbornness reminded her a lot of Agito, except without the same crassness.]

Nice to meet you, Sefton-kun. As I said before my name is Sumeragi Kururu.

[polarization]

[ He nods in a sort of nice-to-meet-you way, but doesn't actually respond to that for fear of mixing up which name goes where. ]

... "-kun"?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Should I not use that? O, oh! Or could it be that you don't understand it?

[fidgets once again but more in the sense that she's trying to explain herself]

Aaaah... um, it's a Japanese honorific.
