I'm looking for a woman who likes to bite people.

She turns into a BAT. /\/\/(｀⌒´)\/\/\

I never got her name and I've been looking all day.

(Context matters but no one tell him that. Or do.)

[tosa]

... Before or after coming here?

[regrede]

If you have to ask, I’m concerned about the number.

[tosa]

( He grumbles, making a face and starts to count... on his fingers, even. )








Maybe five.

( Because he’s consider some of them to be young girls instead of women. )

[regrede]

[ five…

five women, in his whole life? no wonder he keeps sticking his foot directly in his mouth every time he speaks to sierra. she almost feels bad for him, hearing that, and she pinches the bridge of her nose. ]

That explains more than I can say.

[tosa]

( He really can't help but deflate at that? Because what's wrong with not talking to a lot of women... (except he knows it means he's missing out on a lot of experiences. there are a lot of women in the world and he's only ever really dealt with five? His understanding is pretty base level).

But he isn't one to stay down for long and he has his proud so he huffs, still holding his head up and trying to act like he isn't bothered by that little comment at all!!! )

I was doing just fine 'til you came around...

[regrede]

[ sweet, foolish baby boy… ]

I can’t speak to how “fine” you thought you were, but I can promise you that many women are much nicer than I am about telling you of your missteps. You shouldn’t assume so much.

[tosa]

( HAS HE





actually been trash all along??? )

Alright, alright, I'm sorry. ( IT'S NOT EASY ADMITTING HE'S WRONG BUT HE'LL DO IT. ) I still got a lot to learn but I'm really trying. Really.

[regrede]

You are forgiven.

[ sierra smiles. ]

I’ll put this pumpkin somewhere safe, and when it’s too rotted to sustain its shape, I’ll return this little cloth to you. How’s that?

[tosa]

( That's really all it takes for him to lighten up. He hates being wrong but he hates being unforgiven even more. He's spoiled and thrives on praise and having things held against him makes it difficult to get praise. )

Yeah! ( He's a simple sword. ) You're gonna keep it?

( The pumpkin? His offering is good??? )

[regrede]

It’s a gift, isn’t it? I’m flattered you did this much for me.

[ sierra knows she was in the wrong, to go that far with him, but she’ll never admit to it directly. instead, it’s like an apology in her own way that she’s accepting his pumpkin.

how roundabout. ]

[tosa]

The best way to make things right with a woman is to give her gifts, after all.

( He's a merchant sword so of course he's on the more materialistic side of things here. And he's only learned the best from Ryouma. )

It's not like we can get make up or anything fancy here... so the thought's gonna have to do for now.

[regrede]

Now you’re speaking my language.

[ sierra can’t help herself—she’s a little materialistic, too. even after centuries, she can’t shake the fact that she was raised in a noble home. ]

If you find a way to allow me a hot bath whenever I need it, I’ll never get mad at you again.
