...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.

[He stops at the top of the stairs, waits for her to take the lead since he doesn't know where he's going.]

That's...pretty admirable of you. [To be the person you want to be instead of the person you are or used to be, it takes guts, and sweat, and your nose pressed to the grindstone because it's easy to slip up.]

[She laughs a little--wow, it is still really weird to hear her voice sound so... well, low.]

You're not making fun of me, are you?

[By now, Utena has probably led them up to the door to her apartment.]

I'm not! I'm saying...you can't just waste your life waiting around. If you think something should be done, just go and do it yourself. [This sort of inspirational garbage feels cumbersome in his mouth - coming from him (even in her voice) it sounds half-formed, unpolished, still rough around the edges.]

[She can tell that, and she opens the door before looking back at him and smiling (it's really weird, smiling at her. Even if it's... not her... ugh, this isn't any less weird than last time!)]

Yeah, that's what I think too. I don't want to stand around, waiting for someone to save me. Instead, I want to be someone who can save others. Someone inspiring...

[A prince.]

[He's...not really sure what else to say. Because this is probably the weirdest heart-to-heart sort of thing he's ever had with anybody. And he can't help but let his memories slide back to that time they kissed, and now he feels even worse about it. So he falls back into the safety of dry, prickly sarcasm.]

Yeah, just don't get your head stuck in the clouds.

[Then he'll follow her inside.]

[She glances back at him, giving him a bit of a look.]

And what is that supposed to mean? [Said before going to locate her hair ties.]

Edited 2014-09-10 04:57 (UTC)

Nothing, nothing at all.

[And he'll just. Hang around in the kitchen, because like hell he's following her into her bedroom or bathroom or wherever she's going. He's already violated her privacy more than he ever wanted to.]

[The massive invasion of privacy is mutual, unfortunately. Ugh...

She goes into her room for a few moments before making her way back to him, holding a brush and a few spare hair ties.]

There.

[He reaches out to take the brush from her, but pauses and ends up drawing his hand back.]

Er-- I, uh, don't...actually know how to do this, you know.

[...oh. Uh. Right...]

I guess I can show you, then... uh, as well as I can, anyway. Considering.
