never going to call her that.

doesn't care! She's having fun with it and that's what matters. gt;P

* >P

doesn't dare to ask if the name comes with a costume.

trying to draw one! It'll have long boots for sure, they look cool to start...

felt she might be doing that at the moment. It was okay as long as she only did it to herself.

drawing her "Magical Girl" self already! And hopes you won't poke fun at her! "Boots... ribbons... hm, maybe some jewerlry? Heh..."

"And a magical tiara?" He asks. Being here for some reason or another he may as well contribute to all this. Now whether he will make fun of

her or not that would be left to see.

might just be sitting near her. "Hello, Hong Kong would have been better."

(oops, was going t rewrite it cuz it was a... not really good tag. -.-)

(but it's okay)

purses her lips a little, almost pouting. "I forgot you were coming in here today."

[Oh I am sorry. OTL I didn't know.]

discovered that she gives herself strange names when she is left alone. "Would you call it unfortunate?"

(dun worry, hon! I should've told you first. ;A; )

sighs, fighting the urge to hide her sketches. "Well, you were peeking on my sketchbook..."

[It is fine. I was being quick for once OTL]

[ ]

, as she says, already had a peek inside. "That's not a bad thing really. This wouldn't be the first time I have seen your sketches."

chuckles a little bittersweetly. "But it wouldn't be the first time you've poked fun at me for them, either!"

shrugs. It could not be helped. "I won't be too harsh as long as I don't appear in your sketchbook pages."

decides to take it on stride and try to whine less. "I won't do that, unless you give me a good reason to ~"

wags a finger at her. "When have I ever. Besides, last time you drew me... I think you should stick to drawing teacher."

tempted to bit at his fingertip. "Are you saying Laoshi is better at drawing than I am?"

would be in pain, deep down inside if she did. "You two have different styles but I only meant teacher would be a better subject for you to

draw."

leans on her chair, the 'book on her lap now. "I've drawn laoshi way too many times, I don't think he can inspire me now..."

knows that is true. Taiwan had drawn China a lot. "Find a new subject then? You know besides drawing yourself you do not draw a lot of

girls."

nods. "Good point... it could be Yeon, it could be the girls at the streets, or even girls from photos too..."

nods slowly along with her. "I know. You can draw the girl Hong Kong."

blinks. "Girl Hong Kong, you say? But I haven't met her still..."

nods again. "You should find her. I bet you two can talk about girl stuff that you do not want me to hear about."

nods. "Ah, I'll get to that then! But is she much different from you? What should I expect, hm?"

"She likes to be called Lana, apparently. I think she might be easier to get to know." Of course the girl Hong Kong did not like being

called such things. He was probably the only one calling her that but he does think they would get along fine...probably.

a little suspicious, but she can't know what he's thinking! "I'll keep that in mind, okay! By now, I'll keep working on--

-- this... unless you have a better idea, that is."

won't let her in on anything. "Well you seem to have your heart set on dressing up like... like... that thing you called yourself which I

never call you."

waggles her sketch pencil in frnt of him. "Dreamy Dancer Invoker Mei! But since it's a magical name, Mei is good enough!"

leans away from that pencil. "Okay. I understand completely Taiwan."

laughs. "You better do! I don't mock you when you make poses like those of wuxia heroes, so it's just fair!"

had ignored calling her as she wished but he understood completely. "You know that is completely different."

shakes head. "Nuh huh! Hong Kong likes his poses and I like my drawings. They're hobbies, and they're fine!"

not going to say he thinks one thing is cooler than the other. "I will still say they are different."

rolls eyes. "Didn't say they were the same, because they're not. But it's okay, anyway."

still thinking that what he did was way cooler but for now he will show off that he is taller than her by patting her head. "I know."

huffs childishly at that, she hates to be reminded of how short she is!

doesn't mind her huffing it did make her taller or him shorter. It was good to have grown. "If you're not going to finish your sketch then

we can head out."

shakes her head, then thinks a little more and places her 'book and pencil in a cute handbag. "Taking a nice walk might help, so..."

let her get ready so they can go. "It might. Maybe you can get some ideas."

just needs to change her shoes into comfier ones. "That's the idea, you know. And maybe buying something nice too!"

nods slowly as he waits for her. "Well why don't I get you something nice?"

lifts an eyebrow. She knew his prankster fame ever since they were bitty. "Really, you would?"

actually trying to be kind, besides he had more fun picking on other people for his pranks. "Why not. It wouldn't hurt, right?"

that's true, she hasn't forgotten the snails he often put in her hair as kids. "It better doesn't."

figures it was different back then. They were but ignorant children besides he is sure France eats those and Mexico uses them as skin

treatments of some sort. "It won't. Promise."

they're cute and useful for the skin, but hey. "I'll trust you, okay..."

doesn't want to lose her trust so he will keep his word. "I know so thank you."

smiles happily, that takes a weight off her. "So let's go...?"

ready. "Right then." He will head towards the door and hold it open for her.

sneaks out quickly, her cats are sleeping so they better not wake 'em up or anything!

walks out after her and closes the door. "So tell me where to?"

goes to the elevator. "Shilin could be a good start, or even the Taipei 101 if you wish..."

follows after her. "You would get a nicer view from Taipei 101 but let's go to Shilin."

stretches cheerfully. "Shilin is it! Food and goodies for both of us, yep!"

knows for sure he made the right choice. "Sounds good."

beams and guides him to the metro, to Shilin they go ~

walk a long after her as he lets her be his guide.

guides him skillfully, would never get lost here for obvious reasons...

would be rather surprised if she did and would never forget such a thing but then he had gotten lost in places he shouldn't have.

would just snort. But she's very sure of herself as she goes with him towards Shilin!

would say it was confusing and dark and he was young, that is if she ever knew. For now he will stay close to her.

would laugh now! But lookie, after a while, they're about to arrive to their destination. "Shilin ~"

|And that is why he would never tell her so there is no chance of that happening. "So we're here."

turns to him and beams. "Yep! My most famous night market, and I love it."

seeing her expression he knew she meant. "I can't say otherwise. We should go out together more often."

nods. "Yep! I love such outings, all of them are fun after all, and even more when its's with one of us..."

glances over at her curiously. "Us? As in?"

chuckles. "Us nations, us Asians... I like chatting with everyone and having fun in the markets, and you know it."

(and only now I realize how bad my tag was. ,3; )

nods slowly now. He knew she did like having company and taking them out with her. "You know talking with the people can be fun too."

[it is okay. I didn't think it was bad.]

nods a little sagely, fixing her hairpins. "Yes. Interacting with people is one of the things I like the most!"

[thanks. <3 ]

places a hand on top of her head to stop the sagely nodding. "If you are good friends maybe they give you discounts at their stores."

huffs a little. "Of course they do! I'm a good client, too."

that as long as they offer her an actual discount and not just in words it is fine. But then Taiwan does know her way around shops.

"You can show me today what a good client you are."

does get actual discounts in cash, and she'll prove it! "See that small omelette stand? I'll get two of these much cheaper, just watch me!"

then goes to the seller/cook happily, bringing HK with her.

does follow along. He did believe her, she didn't need to prove anything to him but he won't say a thing since she was getting him something

to eat.

already talking in Mandarin to the person in charge! Bargain, gossip, questions, a little of everything...

soon has two BIG oyster omelettes and grins at her brother. "Two for the prize of one! Freshly made!"

listens carefully and watches her work. Maybe she was better than he had thought but he won't say that. "Would one be for me?"

nods and hands him one of them. "I can't eat them both all alone or I'll start getting fat, so here you have one!"

take the omelette. "I think you can manage it but it would take more than two to make you fat."

bites on her omelette happily and swallows fast before replying. "True, but I still don't want to risk it!"

pretty sure it would not be a real risk. In any case he doubts she could eat that many in one sitting. He will just nibble away at his

omelette.

would likely put the rest aside for her next meal! She chuckles and re-starts eating... mmm, delicious omelette! <3

continues to eat his omelette. He more than likely will finish before Taiwan.

kinda dares him to try! Omnomnomnom, come into her mouth and then her belly, precious...

sure he can. He can eat more than her even. Was this an unspoken challenge? Was that what the glint in her eye was?

doesn't care, she will win anyway. So she keeps nomming in joy, not paying much attention to him (or does she?)

getting the last bit into his mouth now. She better hurry or maybe she should not? There was bound to be teasing if she won.

pouts, her last bit is still in her mouth. But she makes an effort and is getting there! Will he still manage to out-eat her in this?

might just have swallowed that last bit. He holds up his hands and might just seem a little smug. He might just have done that.

not whine... will not pout... damn it, it's hard! Her brother beat her to the punch in her own territory! ;A;

simply not lose at eating to her. Maybe someone else like America but then who could ever beat that guy at eating.

still pouty and a little humiliated because this happened in Shilin, gdit. But she swallows the lat bit anyway.

pokes her cheek softly. "Maybe next time you will win. We will come here together again after all."

makes a small face... then nibbles on his finger. It's his fault for having him poke the corner of her mouth!

thought she might have grown out of that but then again he was still poking people. "You really want to do that? Who knows where my hands

have been."

bites a little more on it, then lets go and laughs. "I saw them holding an omelette and wondered if they tasted the same"

looks at his finger then back at her. "That's true. Well are you going to tell me how they taste?"

snorts. "Heee, kind of! But I'd have to take a chunk of it to see if Hong Kong truly tastes like that, and neither of us would like that."

would rather keep all his fingers intact. "I suppose for now I rather you not turn into a cannibal."

would not exactly go beyond nibbles. "... You really thought I'd eat your finger?"

stares at her as if studying her face, maybe leaning a little close but just as quickly he pulls away with a shrug. "You just had something

to eat."

rolls eyes. "Well, you were poking my face first... I could say it was self-defense, too!"

"So you would eat your siblings." He takes a step back looking away, a hand against his cheek. "I am scared."

mock-pouts. "Come oooooon, I wouldn't!"

"Even if I assure I am delicious?"

raises eyebrows. "Do you have proof or something, mmmmm?"

crosses his arms. "You won't take my word for it?"

crosses hers. "So you do want me to eat your fingers?"

"We'll have to wait another time. You said you didn't want to gain weight."
