[ Oooh, Miss Firefly...

He shrugs. ]

You've lived a long while with all the danger. That's quite a feat.

[fightolive]

[It's affection week, now is the time!]

I suppose that's one way to look at it... To me, it's just how it was.

[midway]

[ Squeezes her hand in return then. ]

For any particular reason?

[fightolive]

The circumstances of my birth...

[A little sigh.]

That's a really long story.

[midway]

Do you have somewhere to be?

[ Sorry, he's nosy. ]

[fightolive]

That interested in someone you've only know for a few days? Or... Are you like this with everyone?

[Lightly teasing.]

[midway]

Well, there's not much to do other than to get to know one another.

[ Smiles! ]

And maybe I do show more interest in cute girls every now and then.

[fightolive]

[ Immediately blushes and uses her free hand to cover a cheek- not that it does much to cover it at all. ]

Thank you? You're very charming yourself.

[midway]

[ NOOO CUTE He laughs a little. ]

I don't know if anyone's called me that before... But well, I hope that my sincere interest in your story is coming across at least.

[fightolive]

Really? That doesn't seem right.

[He seems quite nice to her!]

I'm interested in you too, you know? Why don't we share a little bit with each other?

[midway]

[ Just hums. ]

Sure, if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.

[ Meanwhile, he'll lead them over to a towel on the sand so they can chill. ]

[fightolive]

[She'll take a seat and tug him down with her, still not letting go.]

Alright. Hmm... What was your childhood like?

[midway]

[ That's fine... It's kind of nice. ]

Oh, I'm going first?

[fightolive]

[ It's cozy. ]

That's right.

[midway]

You're tougher than you look.

[ Sighs. ]

Well, there's not much to say. It was fairly unexciting, tutoring, training... Your typical noble upbringing.

[fightolive]

Hmm... I don't know any nobles, so I don't know what's typical.

[midway]

It's not particularly exciting. You're usually kept within the estate, and exposed only to what your family deems fit.

[ He shrugs. ]

It's easy to form an extremely biased view of the world.

[fightolive]

Hm...

[ She'll allow that. ]

Alright, what do you want to ask?

[midway]

[ Hehe. ]

Why were you so often in danger?

[fightolive]

I was born to fight.

[midway]

Well, that's vague. So your parents decided to have you with a specific purpose?

[fightolive]

I don't have parents. I never have.

[midway]

Okay... What makes you suited to fight then?

[fightolive]

How much do you know about genetic engineering?

[midway]

... Basically nothing.

[ he doesn't even know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell ]
