recrowns | [ fiora please feed soo-won ]

-- Wait, are you serious? Won, that's amazing! Maybe you really should switch careers!

[ she is truly impressed... which he might catch a whiff of, thanks to the emotion share. They're not that close, but! ]

[ . . . . . lmao

he

looks amused at that - and she'll feel that too, along with a bit of curiosity]

Why...? You don't think a merchant's life is interesting?

Oh, that's not it at all. Being a merchant must be fascinating. But a talent like that - you could really use it to help people, I bet.

[ she tilts her head, seeming to consider him. ]

Then again, if you can memorize entire books, you can probably do anything you like. [ a beat; Fiora gives him a wry smile. ] I had no idea you were such a nerd.

Fufu, I'm afraid I've been an avid reader since I was child. Anything that I could get my hands on in my mother's villa, I would read and consume as soon as I could. I'm just a bit out of practice in memorization.

[but well!! here he is!]

I think that everyone has the capacity to help people no matter what they're like or what they do for work, though.

You're right about that. Sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad way at all. Merchants are really important, too - we'd be goners without them.

[ that said. Fiora folds her arms, amused. ] In other words, you've got class, beauty, and brains - and probably money, too. Some people really do have it all...

[that manages to make him laugh, shaking his head]

I think you're being far too kind. I'm the same as anyone else, you know?

I'm simply Won - and when it comes to cooking, you've got me far outclassed. That's a skill I certainly wish I could have.

[ amused. ]

See, you're only proving my point, being all modest! I bet you've got girls tripping over themselves for you back home.

[please

don't do this to him

he immediately looks embarrassed]

Girls—Fiora, please...! Nothing of the sort is happening!

[ oh my god ]

Won! Don't tell me you're shy? You could have fooled me!

[nooooOOOOOO]

It's not -

If it's something that I don't particularly have any familiarity with, I wouldn't call it shy...

[ a giggle. ]

I feel like I've seen something I shouldn't have... [ the secret vulnerable side of won.... noted. ] It's okay, I haven't got much room to talk. There's only been one boy for me as long as I can remember.

Ah, really? That's sweet...

[he's calming down a little - please just keep the topic off of him]

What's he like?

Well...

[ ... ... ... the silence stretches on for longer than it should; Fiora brings a hand to her mouth, brow furrowed. ]

Erm... I can't remember. He must have left the colony when I was younger, I think? But I know that I really liked him. He's like my long-lost prince!

[ but there's a deep sense of unease inside that she can't quite quell. That doesn't sound right... ]

[oh.

soo-won blinks at that - before he offers up a gentle smile]

Fufu, that's a cute story. Maybe he'll come back then, since you must be his princess as well.

[ soo-won is too nice, and that gentle smile helps ease Fiora's worries, if only for a moment. ]

Hehe. A girl can only hope.

[ although, at this point, she's sure it's too late. ]

I think a girl should be able to get a suitor for herself too, if she wants, but I admittedly know less about that.

[said sheepishly.... but hey fiora go chase your man if you want to!!]

[ playfully: ]

Are you sure you're qualified to give advice, Won? [ anyway. ] A suitor? I don't think it's really my choice if they come for me or not.

Ah, I'm really not... but I think the concept of romance and things like that is sweet. My parents were very happy?

[HE'S TRYING]

But why wouldn't they?

[ wow. listen to this heartbreaker!! she can't help but giggle at that line, which is even funnier because she's almost certain he didn't realize it was a line... ]

You're awfully nice, but look at me. I'm a Mechon. [ she shakes her head, still amused. ]

[soo-won and dana both didn't realize it was a line which line was it this is so funny

but he looks confused at that before smiling, tilting his head]

Ah, because you're not entirely human...?

[a beat]

And so...? [he doesn't see the problem with it] You're still you, aren't you?

[ DANA!!

in any case, that sounds familiar, but she can't remember where she heard it before. It must have been her brother... ]

It would be nice if it was that simple. [ a wry smile. ] Mechon are the enemy where I'm from. And... well, there's some other things, too.

[i still don't know what you're talking about it's hilarious

but

soo-won seems to blink at that]

Ah... I suppose that would make it harder in terms of finding a suitor but...

What other things...?

[ after a moment, Fiora shakes her head. ]

Nothing you need to worry about. Maybe I'll tell you some other time.

[ everything is fine... ]

Besides, you've already heard too much about me. I want to learn more about you! What sorts of things do you sell, anyway?

Fufu, do you truly think so? I feel like I don't know much about you at all...

[at least not enough for him to be satisfied! but he'll go along with her suggestion anyway]

But ah - largely gems and jewelry. My customers are amidst the noble classes, so I had a number of dealings with them.

I liked getting to interact with them - but I also like talking with the common people just as much.

Gems and jewelry, huh... We've got a guy like that in my hometown, too. He's a lot louder than you, though.

[ gem stall man never shuts up. ]

Noble classes - like kings and queens and the like?
