Comments

[lycoctonum]

[She was truly being careful not to bump her when she moved the shoe but apparently luck wasn't with her tonight. She stared back at Weiss, blank eyes meeting hers. She shakes her head and, with some difficulty from wearing a slightly over-sized kimono, she'll be making her exit with said shoe.]

[whiteas]

[ The difficulty from the kimono apparently gives Weiss enough time to hurry to the other end of the table to try to cut the bear off. ]

Give it back now or I'll have you removed from the party.

[lycoctonum]

[Ginko really didn't want to be here all that much... but she didn't want to get the Komeijis kicked out, too. So she spits out the shoe.]

Growl...

[whiteas]

Thank you...

[ Weiss goes over to pick it up, regarding the shoe with a bit of an 'ew' expression because it was in the thing's mouth. ]

Now who are you here with? I take it a bear didn't come in on its own.

[lycoctonum]

You invited me.

[Well. The human Ginko got an invitation.]

So I could definitely have come here on my own--and I'm not an 'it'.

[whiteas]

Oh, you can talk. Why were you taking my shoe?

[ If it can talk then it can explain itself. >:T ]

[lycoctonum]

Yes, I can talk.

[She's getting tired of that reaction, really.]

It smelled good.

[whiteas]

[ Then stop being a talking bear!! ]

That smell was probably my lotion. It has milk, honey, and shea butter in it. Something smelling good isn't a reason to take it though, bear.

[lycoctonum]

[If she was in her human form then the kimono wouldn't fit! And you don't want a semi-naked Ginko running around, Weiss. You don't.]

Honey! [That could explain it but--] No. I don't think that was the delicious smell, growl growl.

[Wait. No. She can't be thinking these thoughts here.]

I thought it'd be more polite to smell that then sniff you directly, girl.

[whiteas]

[ Go get other clothes then!! ]

Stealing someone's shoe is the opposite of polite. An animal smelling a person is considered relatively normal, even if it's not typically expected at an event like this.

[lycoctonum]

[Excuse you! She had to borrow fancy clothes! This was the only size they came in, how dare you.]

I was going to give it back. [She's a little ashamed, really. She should have thought of that. She hangs her head a little.] Growl... Sometimes I forget that this place isn't like the place I come from.

[whiteas]

[ Get a job and hire a tailor, bear!! X( ]

Is that somehow acceptable where you come from?

[lycoctonum]

[She has clothes that fit! As a human! But someone wanted her to come in bear form, don't look at her.]

I meant the sniffing you... Girls don't like bears, after all.

[whiteas]

I don't think most girls care about bears so long as they aren't being attacked.

[ But in that case it's bear murder time. ]

[lycoctonum]

[Can you tell that Ginko is surprised by that?]

That's not something that could be said about the girls in my world. Bears are 'evil' so not worth even that much to them.

[And really, what's worse than a bunch of school bullies? A bunch of militarized school bullies with hunting rifles.]

[whiteas]

What did bears do to get deigned evil?

[ 'Cause she's pretty sure most people don't just assume bears are evil. You know unless they're attacking school children or something. ]

[lycoctonum]

About eleven years ago... there was a terrible battle between the bears and humans. A lot of bears were shot and a lot of humans were eaten.

[whiteas]

Over what?

[lycoctonum]

Religious reasons.

[whiteas]

Well that's awfully vague.

[lycoctonum]

[Because she didn't want to talk your ear off. You asked, tough.]

...Eleven years ago, there was a meteor shower. Something happened then but the Church of Kumaria started using that as a sign to start attacking the humans more. It was just a matter of time.

[whiteas]

That sounds like someone from the Church of Kumaria decided to use a meteor shower as an excuse to further their own agenda of attacking humans.

[ She's fairly certain meteors don't mean anything except that they're meteors. ] I can see why people would be upset.

[lycoctonum]

[...She's not wrong. Ginko knows that.]

I wouldn't know. I was just an orphan, growl growl. [One of many that had been taken in by the Church.]

[whiteas]

Why do you keep saying "growl"? That seems awfully strange for a bear. Why don't you just growl normally?

[lycoctonum]

What? [At least she's not in human form right now. Then the 'why are you saying that' question would be more awkward.] Like this? [She does growl, a little. It...might actually be more terrifying in a different context but for now it's more confused.]
