[Moon 15, Late Evening, Aft Deck] Insomnia

Again, there was a bit of silence.

Seiko broke it again.

"So... do you need me to explain why they were talking about clams?"

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:09 am

"Oh, yeah... Are clams good? I've never had one." Qulan asked as she turned her head towards the Kaiu.

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:15 am

Seiko tried not to smile.

"Man and woman go fishing. But there if you have two women, maybe you shouldn't call it 'fishing' then."

Oh, she's going to pop when she realize what's being said...

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:19 am

"Eh?" That made the Shinjo even more confused. "Then what would you call it?"

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:24 am

A BIT naive?

"I... think they call it taking an interest in clams."

She paused.

"Please do not tell me you need me to explain why."

There were a few Crab women Seiko had met that were interested in other women. The euphemism was well known to the Kaiu woman.

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:30 am

Qulan stood there a few long moments as she mulled over the information in her head. She eventually opened up her mouth, as if about to ask a question, but it slowly closed as her eyes became as big as rice bowls.

"Oh." She said plainly.

"OH." Then her face started turning red.

"I-I see now... Heheh... I g-get it. They said clams because of... Yeah."

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:35 am

Seiko watched her for a moment longer, than went back to looking at the blasted sea.

"Man, woman, samurai, heimin," she shrugged. "Do your job, and that 's all anyone on this ship should care about."

She glanced back at Qulan.

"Crab pragmatism."

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:17 am

"Hah... Heeeh... Hai. I completely agree." Qulan bashfully kept her eyes on the sea. "How embarrassing..."

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:21 am

Noticing the Unicorn's embarrassment, Seiko turned to face Qulan, frowning.

"Why are you unhappy? Have you failed to do your job? Did you actually go fishing in the way they meant? Let the fools who gossip be fools. When they die, they will earn their reward for such pettiness and come back as slugs and earthworms, as they deserve."

Her face showed conviction, but her tone remained dispassionate.

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:27 am

"You're... You're right again, Kaiu-san." The rather tall Shinjo stood up straight, turning her head to face the smaller woman. "I'm just more embarrassed that I didn't understand at first."

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:46 am

"We all start not understanding. Now was just your time to learn that which removed that bit of your ignorance."

She went back to looking at the sea again.

"As cute as your naivety is."

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:16 am

"C-cute?" The Shinjo blushed once again. She... She isn't like Rin-chan, is she?

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:21 am

"Hai. Cute." Seiko glanced over at Qulan. Then she went back to looking at the sea.

If she was interested like Rinzuki was, she didn't show it. It was more like she was commenting on the aesthetics than she had any improper designs.

"Does that bother you?"

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:32 am

"N-no... It's just..." The young girl sighed. "I'm not used to it."

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:16 am

Seiko nodded.

"Duty requests that you marry, and if your husband has any taste, he will think you are more than cute." She shrugged. "So you might want to get used to it."

The Kaiu was silent for a moment. Then she let out a long sigh.

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:40 am

"Is something the matter, Kaiu-san?" Qulan asked with concern apparent in her voice.

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:01 am

Seiko turned and flashed Qulan a friendly smile, the kind that says, "thanks for asking".

"I was just remembering something. Nothing serious. Just... wistful."

If there was anything else, Seiko didn't seem set to explain any more.

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:06 am

"Oh." The Shinjo replied. "So... Kind of like when I imagine being back on the plains with the horses..."

by **Kaiu Seiko** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:14 am

"...probably," Seiko admitted. "But at the same time... definitely not. I'm not that interested in riding horses... but..."

She smiled, a look of glee on her face.

"...but I love to ride storms!"

by **Shinjo Qulan** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:21 am

"Storm riding, huh? An angry horse would give the same feel." Qulan happily laughed. "They can buck you off and break your arms."
