"hm"

                                                                       WAS IT RUDE ? anna didn’t know what to say about her thoughts on magic , as far as he thoughts had gone at this point . but perhaps it would be less rude to say something about it in order to put off a better impression than she was ? ah , the folding of her fingers tensed , her face shifting into an expression of worry & concern .       “    i’m sincerely sorry . i just … any experience with what            people claim to be magic has led to something … much            more . it turns out to be … an excuse . a falsity . so i …      “                                                                        anna could have seriously slapped her own wrist for this — what kind of a response was that , really ? well , she swallowed still , and she tilted her head down a bit .        “    i … i like dolls but … i don’t own one . unless you could fix            a camera … then …                                                                  “

  “I can try, it might take some time but l can try if you want!”

❝ that’s a lot of choices… um, maybe…s-something more human ? ❞ Bun fiddles with slender digits, anxiety gently spiking. Usual lamprophony silenced, his high voice comes out barely a twirl of words, slight decrescendo with uncertainty. He hopes he’s not being an inconvenience for not knowing what he wants…

 “She seems to like you, heh”

“This is...shameful, l am older than you are but you are the one who act like a true adult, it is something l am sorry for making you do so but that sounds like a nice plan, could we get cakes as well, l kind of missed having cake with you like the old days”

  “Look, if you need something, just spit it out. I’m kinda busy here with being a cop and all.” 

“Well, there something behind  you” the woman pointed, trying to freak the other out.

                                                                     ANNA … COULD RELATE . she herself had trouble speaking from time to time & even now , with her soft but steady little voice , it was displayed . but it had less to do with use & more to do with breathing , as she … well , it was personal . still , the little king made a clear expression of surprise .              “    is that so ? i … i’m afraid i don’t really … believe …    “                                                                      there was a difference between belief and experience ! and anna had far too many experiences with that so called magic , with that little word !            “    i read about it , but … otherwise …     “

       “Are you here for a doll to be fixed then, no need to make you go into the other part of my shop then, right?”

❝ t-truth be told, i’m not really sure what i’m looking for !! umm, what do you…sell here ? it looks cute, though ! ❞ Blithe attempts of compliments & a cheery smile, he hopes to maybe indulge himself a bit today.

 “Well, we have dolls, all types, ball jointed, wooden dolls, wind-up dolls, you know the stuff you can't really find any more, is there anything you really enjoy looking at, do you want something to be so unreal and elf-like or something more human looking?”

Upon finishing his question, the vampire chuckled with amusement. He knew it was very unlikely that the other one would have him as an idol, but it was still fun for him to joke around.

“sorry but l have no clue what idol group you are from but can l drop off the flyers now, sir?”

Y O U A R E N O T A L L O W E D T O H U R T M Y F R I E N D S .

      “Is that so? Don’t worry about a thing, Mika. I’m sure you’ll gain more and more friends as the moments go on. Just be considerate, alright? And don’t you forget—You can come to me for anything.”

“Could l umm, ask you for help with making friends, do you have anyone to suggest l could meet?”
