1x1 with Prince Endymion

[M2627]

Kyo - Tokyo - Curious and contemplative

Kyo stared blankly at Mamoru when he chuckled. "What's so funny? Actually, never mind. I'm not good with jokes. Saori keeps telling me to learn some, but what's the point?" She shook her head before returning her gaze forward. "I mean with weather. Kakariko is a lot colder. I'm not used to heat. So I wouldn't wear any kind of suit in this." She continued scowling when more people pointed her out because of her clothing. "Hmm... It must be big. People here seem big on fashion." She had to admit that all the advertisements were a little overwhelming. She couldn't read them. While she could understand speak the conversational part, the writing was beyond her. "Mamoru? That's your name? A lot better than the nickname." She wondered if she should mention her own "name" wasn't real either, since he told her his real name. But it didn't matter if anyone knew her nickname, so it would be completely up to her.

Mamoru Chiba ~ Tokyo ~ Amused

Mamoru smiled, "There wasn't a joke! It's just..." He paused listening to Kyo. She seemed to take his amusement a bit too literally. Sounded like she did that with a lot of things, including jokes. "Never mind. Yes, it's... Very big." He sighed shaking his head. "Far too big in my opinion. I know all of the stores there very well. Usagi insists on going there at least three times a month. I'm sure we can find something reasonable that way you don't have to deal with all of this attention until we can get you to... Wherever home is." He crossed his arms, in more of a playful manner than in anger or frustration. "Yes, my name is Mamoru. Nickname? Tuxedo Mask isn't a nick name, it's an alter ego! It's not dumb and I didn't pick it, just saying! At least, I don't think I did..."

Kyo - Tokyo - Completely and utterly confused

"So... there's no joke?" She stared blankly at another ad. This time it was a kitten dancing on screen while meowing some song. It was giving her a headache, honestly. She sniffed the air and she smelled a familar food. It smelled delicious. Takoyaki... She snapped herself out it. "It has to be. There so many people here. This is like Castle Town. Only everyone's completely out of their minds..." Kyo was slightly curious about this Usagi character. From what he said, it sounded like they were romantically involved. Why else would a man go to this place which he has clear dislike of, except for a woman? "Is Usagi your girlfriend?" She forgot about it quickly when Mamoru crossed his arms and seemed defensive. "Is this a joke or are you serious? Your tone suggests amusement, but your posture suggests annoyance..?" She hated how confusing people were. Kyo was distracted again when they arrived at the commercial district. Many of the shops had glass walls showcasing models in clothing.

Mamoru Chiba ~ Tokyo ~ Doing his best to keep up

"No, there's no joke! I'm sorry to have confused you?" Mamoru offered an awkward smile. He'd have to be careful about his body language and tone around Kyo... He had no idea she'd take all of his actions so literal. Even the Shittennou were better than this, and the leader of the group took everything so seriously, what a grump. He couldn't blame her, Kunzite knew him better than she did... He gave Kyo a confused expression, "Castle Town? Is that some place wherever you live? I've never heard of any such place." He jumped back slightly, alarmed at how easily she picked up on his relationship with Usagi. He didn't expect her to figure that out so quick.
"Yes, I suppose you could say that she is... There might be a bit more there than 'girlfriend', but yes, that's correct. How did you figure that out?" He let out a soft sigh of defeat, "What I said is real, but I didn't mean any of that in a serious light."

Kyo - Tokyo - Slightly amused

"Castle Town is the capital of my land. It is very close to Hyrule Castle. The people there are highly absorbed with fashion and luxuries. It is the busiest Hylian settlement, even after being ruined in the dark era. I do not live there, but my guardian would take me there to play arcade games." Kyo smiled ever so slightly at the thought of Impa. "I was born and raised in a smaller settlement, Kakariko Village. It once only belonged to my tribe, but it was opened to Hylians after..." She trailed off. Not his business, really. She hated talking about it. Instead, Kyo allowed herself a smirk of amusement at Mamoru's visible alarm. "You said she insisted on going here. It would be entirely in your power to decline. But the fact that you go along with her despite having a distaste for this district suggests you actually can't decline. The only case this can happen is with girlfriends. Men will rarely, if ever deny their girlfriends anything, even if they hate it." She turned her attention back to the shop stalls. She stopped to look at unusual vests and hats. Both were made of leather and embroidered. "Who wears this stuff? It's so gaudy..."

Mamoru Chiba ~ Tokyo ~ Somewhat flustered

Mamoru nodded listening to Kyo's story of her home. It sounded very nice, and much more high end than Tokyo. Almost like a more densely packed Silver Millennium or Elysion, the home of Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion in the past, respectively. "It sounds like a very beautiful place. This is Tokyo, capital of Japan, and my current home." He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Well I... Yes, true, I can say no... But how could I? Usagi has a way with persuasion... And that's not true! She could have been my sister, or a very close friend. Besides, Usagi's lucky to have me. Many men I know wouldn't go along with even half the things she wants me to do. Shopping for clothes... Dance video games..." He huffed softly. Picking up a leather vest, he looked it over and shrugged, "This one isn't so bad!"

Kyo - Tokyo - Still slightly amused

"Yes. Kakariko is peaceful. But cold. There's a saying that when spirits are present, it becomes colder. Kakariko is very close to my tribe's temple. It's called the house of the dead. I played in the graveyard often. I would talk with the late gravekeeper. He still likes to watch over the place." She allowed herself a grin when Mamoru acted flustered. She pointed to her sharp ears. "Yeah. She could have been. But these ears aren't just for show. Sheikah have them to hear the whispers of the dead. It's not hard with mortals. Your voice catches slightly when you say her name. And you go every time. Trust me, I've seen this before." Kyo scowled at the vest. It looked like something a seamstress made while drunk... No in Hyrule wore stuff like that. Not even the people living on the ranch. "It's terrible. I'm really starting to think those sunglasses impede vision..."

Mamoru Chiba ~ Tokyo ~ Interested

Mamoru raised an eyebrow, listening to the mentions of spirits, the dead and graveyards. He felt a faint chill run down his spine as he put down the vest and wrapped that arm around himself, resting his hand on his opposite arm. "How-" He paused trying to find the best word to fit. "Interesting, to say the least. Your town is very connected to the dead... Why the dead?" His discomfort shifted when Kyo called him a mortal. He couldn't help but to chuckled softly, "Are you saying you're immortal then? ...I didn't even notice that, I just say her name as I have since we became... An item. And yes, I go every time. I just can't bring myself to say no to her... Unless it's dangerous." Mamoru pushed his raven hair back a bit with his dark sunglasses, letting them rest on the top of his head. "Terrible? I don't know what you're talking about. Looks fine to me! And the sunglasses just make things a bit darker and protect my eyes from the sun. Nothing's wrong with my vision. Most of the time."

Kyo - Tokyo - Reminescent

"Most people look at me funny. Then they often say it explains a lot. Whatever it's supposed to mean." She wasn't exactly sure how to explain it. "They have wisdom the living cannot ken without their guidance. By taking the time to honour them they may teach us something in return for our company. They do get lonely, and no other race can see or hear them." Kyo mentally scolded herself for letting her tongue slip like that. She really shouldn't call others that. It gave most people the wrong idea. "Yes, in one sense. With the right lifestyle, we are capable of living indefinitely, but being a warrior tribe, we rarely achieve it. Illness can also take us. Some members have lived a millennia or two, but this is rare." She sighed in exasperation. Was this guy serious..? "Three trips a month to this place and you learn nothing? It. Is. Terrible. Doesn't your girlfriend teach you anything?"

[Prince Endymion]

Mamoru Chiba ~ Tokyo ~ Interested

Mamoru understood right away as to what Kyo said others say about her. "What they might mean is they think you're strange in comparison to themselves... Being so connected with death must bring about a lot of misconceptions." He nodded, showing he was listening to her explanation. He wondered what it was like to talk to the dead, though he wasn't sure he'd want to be able to. The only 'dead' he'd ever spoken to were the Shittennou, who aren't really dead, just in a crystal form, but when they speak to him they'd become spirits of their past selves. What Kyo was saying was probably more than that, however. "Supposedly I may be able to live indefinitely, or at least a very long time. After that, I'll just be reborn again..." Mamoru gave her a strange look, "What do you mean learn nothing? Usagi doesn't have much to teach me, she fails all of her tests. Unless you mean fashion wise... In which case we look at clothes for her. I don't wear dresses. And really, it's not terrible. Other people would buy this too!"
