✿ action

[ Tiny Taiwan is walking around or on top of a ladder covered in Christmas lights and tinsel as attempts to hang them on the front of her house at 1245 Williams Road. On one hand, she looks like she could use some help! On the other, she looks like she's having so much fun... She doesn't celebrate Christmas, not like this, but cold weather and recent events have gotten her in a Christmas mood.

The cafe isn't open around this time yet, but passerby may notice the sudden addition of a pair of plum blossom trees in her front yard. ]

Look, I'm a Christmas tree!

[ Chances are she's talking to Pops, Nadeko or Homura, who are inside the house, but feel free to approach her while she's decorating, too. ]

✿ phone

Hi, um, I have a question!

[ You can just tell this isn't important. She is all about the trivial things today. Oh well, they easily take her mind off the events of last week! ]

Are nations allowed to kiss each other? Is that okay? If your nation kissed another nation, would that be okay with you? [ A beat. ] What if they weren't a nation?

I really want to know! Because I don't want to not be a nation if it's not allowed... Thank you!

[ TAIWAN WHY DIDN'T YOU FILTER THIS SCREAMS ]

Comments

[naicha]

Ah! Sorry... but we're not, you know. That's why I was worrying about it...

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

Oh...so I guess you're going to be allied now?

By a liplock treaty? [Yes, this is Arcueid trying to be funny.]

[naicha]

[ PFFT- ]

If only treaties were that easy, huh? Though kissing is already kind of hard... You have to be emotionally prepared and stuff, you know!

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

I dunno...it was kind of fun.

But...I've never really kissed many people either.

[TOO BAD TAIWAN CAN'T SEE ARCUEID'S FACE TURNING RED.]

[naicha]

Hehe... it was.

Ooh, Arcueid's kissed someone, too? Who? Who? [ Taiwan's a gossip... ]

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

A-ah...um...

Well, it was Shiki...but he's gone now anyways.

And...well I don't wanna talk about anyone else.

[naicha]

A boy also named Shiki... Ohhh, is he your boyfriend?

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

[Y'know, typically Arcueid would just proudly proclaim "Yes, he is!" but...considering what had been going on during the rather long two stretches in Mayfield she feels just a little weird about it. So, her initial reaction is to sputter a bit.]

Ah...I dunno.

[naicha]

You don't know? What does that mean? [ She would be looking at her curiously if they weren't on the phone. ]

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

Um...well...I just dunno.

That's all it means. I guess he's not.

[naicha]

... Does Arcueid like him?

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

Um....

I...don't wanna talk about it. I just need to let it go.

[naicha]

Hm, okay. Okay. I won't ask about it anymore.

[ Maybe a topic change is good. ]

... I hope it'll be okay with him... What I asked about earlier. I don't think he'd ever like me that way...

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

I dunno, you're pretty cute and guys like cute girls.

[naicha]

I'm not that cute... [ Lies. ] And he keeps calling me uncute.

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

I dunno you seem pretty cute.

He's probably just teasing you or something. Boys are weird like that.

[Yep, pretty smug in pretending like she knows all about this kinda stuff.]

[naicha]

[ Ohh Arcueid, she thinks you are so wise. ]

They're very, very weird! Why can't they just be honest? Though I guess it makes you look a little cool if you don't show your feelings right away.

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

Yep. Boys like to look cool, even if they're not.
