[ if she gets bothered by weirdos, she can handle it. he doesn't know yet how much war and death she's seen, but even as a young girl who didn't know the world yet, she traveled alone like an idiot.
the next day, she isn't streaming in the park. her face lights up when she sees him. ]
Hi~ You're here!
[ she walks up to him with a wave. she was going to stroll around the park for his lunch hour. while elysia is very good at waiting, she doesn't wait too idly. ]
Should we introduce ourselves?
[ she knows they didn't exchange names yesterday, but she was also ready for jacopo to be ruder yesterday. ]
[ Girlie... It is dangerous out there and he worries like any regular person would. He is much more like his true self in this iteration when he is only entangled by a handful of problems in the modern world. While his story beats may be similar, such as the climb as an immigrant and outsider, people normally don't need to face death in this day and age.
No assassinations and betrayals to haunt him into a worse person who'd bite at a giving hand. The flavor of personal isolation has been harmless here. While he expected her to show, it still surprises him when she indeed manifests. ]
Right, yes.
[ His fumble which is honestly embarrassing, but he reasons with himself that he didn't need to give his name freely. He didn't share his identity to strangers after short encounters, either. Still weird to have the conversation they had and not offer something, though.
[ elysia is usually more of a danger to the people around her than the reverse. this is as much of a truth of her existence as anything else, as loving as she can be. even if the modern world holds less death and danger and assassination attempts, it doesn't remove what she is. ]
I'm Elysia~ a girl as gorgeous as dancing petals.
[ the too many years don't stop her from saying her intro catchphrase either. she should probably have a surname by now, but her name represents her well enough all by itself. ]
[ Help. He gave a normal introduction, but he gets this in return which has his expression twist into a flat look. His eyes travel around to see if there's any phone or camera meant to capture her introduction, like this is still stream content.
But no. She's just like this. ]
Read and eat. [ Very normal things to do during break. ] Do you really have to perform off-screen?
[ Just repeats it so it can cement in him. Even though it's still silly to him, he doesn't cling onto it or make it the topic of choice. Nothing they can do about that if that's how she is and how she wants to be.
It's not a big deal, anyway. He flaps a hand to the bench, urging her that she can sit. ]
That is about right. If I'd like to review something, I'll read a report, but otherwise I catch up on news and any articles that interest me. [ ... ] It's been a while since I've read fiction.

I'm happy to meet you and get to know you.

elysia may not be the most normal person out there, but she does know what is normal. she smiles. ]
This is how I usually am.
[ on and off screen. what you see is what you get even if what you see is never the full or whole picture. ]
What do you usually read? Do you catch up on the news? Look over financial reports? Maybe a little fiction as a treat?
