(What a tough crowd... He holds up his hands in front of him, trying to placate her,)

Okay, okay. Enough from me, then. Have you had any other surprises today?

[taptap]

[ it's gonna take a lot more work to make her laugh ]

Is this place not enough of a surprise? Every time I walk outside, there's something to give A-Qing a fright.

[cranelike]

How inconsiderate.

(Hm. He looks around and then clicks his heel on the ground before circling around to stand next to her,)

Shall we walk together? I'll tell you about all of the surprises I've found~

[taptap]

If you wish. Tell me a good story!

[ she'll tolerate that much at least ]

[cranelike]

Let's see... not far, there's the beach. After the storm, there were many treasures to be found-- seashells, glass, and even little crabs that could fit in the palm of your hand.

But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find any turtles or hear any princesses, though.

(Weird,)

Ah, and around the city, there are strange shapes... Have you heard about those?

[taptap]

Princesses? Would they be here too??

[ o: !!!! but otherwise ]

Only in whispers.... No one has told me directly what they are.

[ NOT THAT... SHE CAN SEE THEM ANYWAY............. ]

[cranelike]

I'll show you!

(He says and he holds out his hand,)

Take my hand!

[taptap]

[ a whole new world starts playing in the bg (no) ]

Ah-

[ she shyly reaches out a hand. let's gooo...! ]

[cranelike]

(And he's going to lead her to the operahouse or residential area... whichever is closest. Vague hands. He'll take her to one of the strange shapes,)

Here.

(And he'll take the hand he's holding and place it on the mark.)

It's a circle.

[taptap]

Eh-?

[ pats said mark, frowning at it as she tries to get a decent idea of the shape. and the symbols? not that she'd understand it but you know ]

But why...? How strange....!
