[She managed to find some clothes that worked as well. That way-too-big-for-her shirt that he had picked out the first time they met actually came in handy! And she found some pants that were baggy and needed a belt when she wore them normally that she could still wear--though they were awkwardly a little too short on Jean's body. And that's without going into getting dressed in general... at least Himemiya had been a girl too, the last time this happened!]

I guess as well as anyone can, in this situation. [Yeah, tell her about it. Hearing Jean's voice coming out of her own mouth is weird, too. She rubs the back of her--his--head, sighing.] Um... it'll probably be really weird to hear this, but this isn't the first time this has happened to me. [...] Just the first time in Luceti.

[But does she really want to get into magical, explosive curry with him?]

[...God, is that what he sounds like? Looking up at "himself", he can see the leftovers of hard-to-tame bedhead - but at least that means she must not have showered this morning.]

Seriously? This can happen back where you're from?

[No way was she going to shower! Being covered in boy sweat is way preferable to having to bathe like this!]

Uh... not normally, but... [She looks off to the side.] Let's just say Ohtori's not exactly a "normal" place.

[She wouldn't get into the details of the duels. Good thing the curry had nothing to do with them...]

[He's not that sweaty... If you really want to know the true meaning of boy sweat, go mop up Bertolt.]

Your school, you mean? [The way she'd talked about it before, it sounded ordinary enough.] Dunno if I really want to know...

[Well, she would admit that he's better about the sweat than the boy's basketball team at Ohtori... and no thank you. You think she's crazy or something?]

Let's just say that I've been really wary of curry since then. [A sigh.] But I dunno, I think I'd almost prefer it to stuff like this.

They could've at least given us the right genders. No offense. [Have you ever tried to figure out how the fuck a bra works without letting yourself open your eyes, Utena? The struggle is real.]

And here I thought the Malnosso were so considerate.

You really think I'm going to take offense? [This isn't any more comfortable for her than it is for you!]

...heh. That sarcasm?

What do you think? [That bit about the sarcasm. He heaves a sigh, raking a hand through his...now long and shiny hair. That he probably could have brushed better, but give him a break, he's new at this.]

How do you even put up with all this? [He holds up a random strand of hair and lets it dangle.]

It's not that hard to manage, really. [She gives him... herself... a look.] And it's easy enough to get used to.

[Meanwhile, she'll just run a hand through her now way-too-short hair.]

As for me, it's weird to have hair this short. I mean, I've thought about cutting mine a couple of times, but not this short!

I mean, it looks good on you and all, it's just...driving me nuts to have it. You know?

[He keeps pushing hair away from his face - he really should have invested in some hair accessories, but like he knows fuck all about that stuff. Or how to make a ponytail. Or anything.]

...you think it looks good on me?

[She really hopes she isn't blushing. She doesn't like Jean like that, but she has to admit that it's a little nice to get a compliment like that from someone who isn't a complete creep.]

I can help you pull it back, if you want. I'd just show you, but it's sort of hard to do right now... [You know. Considering.]

[And now he's a little pink in the face, realizing what he'd said. It just kinda...slipped out. Here's an awkward little laugh to push past that moment.]

Yeah, I don't have much to work with... [In the hair department.] But you have something I could borrow?

Yeah, I have a brush and a couple of hair ties you can have for the time being. Since you're not used to it, it's probably best if you do keep it tied back.

[You know... just in case.]

Thanks. [Then an awkward pause. He shifts his weight to one foot.] Uh...up in your apartment, right?

Well, yeah. Should we go there, or should I just...?

[She runs a hand through her hair--too short, too short, way too weird--in a way that Jean might notice a slight shine coming off her pinky. She's still wearing the ring her prince gave her. How could she not? Even now, it's her one connection to him...]

I can come in with you...if you don't mind, I mean.

[The glimmer of the ring catches his eye, and his eyebrows twitch downward with a frown, but he'll wait to ask about the offending jewelry until she gives him the okay on joining her.]

Yeah, don't worry--I don't mind. Let's go.

[She's more focused on the subject at hand, so she doesn't notice Jean's distaste in her wearing the ring.]

[He'll follow her back inside, and he can't help but drop a grumbling sigh as they pass through the door.]

Do you really have to keep wearing that ring?

[Wait, what?] Yeah, I do. Do you have a problem with it?

[Oops, that sounded a little defensive.]

[He didn't expect such a sharp reaction, and it shows in his face, lax in surprise for a moment before he pushes on.]

It's just kinda...girly, you know? I look like a priss like that.

What are you talking about? There are boys at my school who wear them too. [Something that still baffles her, and also bothers her slightly. Especially since Mikage has one. The man who manipulated all of those people to duel her, who manipulated Wakaba...] Besides, I wear this because... nevermind. You'll probably think it's a strange story.

Edited 2014-06-15 03:15 (UTC)

[As they climb the stairs, he gives her a sideways look, with one eyebrow raised.]

So what? I've heard plenty of strange stories before. [Like what's happening today, with them swapping bodies like they're jackets or something.]

...a long time ago, I met a prince. [She isn't looking at him, stubbornly looking ahead of her.] I don't remember a lot of that time, but I remember him being so impressive. He told me that if I never lost my nobility, we would meet each other again.

[Then she looks down at the pinky where the ring is.]

He gave me this to remember that day. It's my only evidence that I actually met him, and my only tie to him. It's important to me, so that's why I keep wearing it.

[He grips the banister to turn the corner as the staircase doubles back over itself, turning her explanation over in his head. It's a little creepy to see that tender sort of expression on his own mug, especially when she's talking about some prince.]

Oh... So, what, you're waiting for him to come along and sweep you off your feet? [In a joking tone, but a little thin in its awkwardness, like he's not sure if he should poke fun at her about this or not.]

Eh? No way! ...no, nothing like that. [She rubs the back of her head.] I remember being really impressed by him that day, and I promised to myself-- I promised to myself that instead of a princess waiting to be rescued, I would become a prince too.
