Remmy sighed. "There we go back to being so formal, I thought we had made progress. I suppose not. I asked if you always did things the way people expected you to do them. You ordered chocolate chip cookies and milk, a classic. Couple that with how polite you are and you would think that you did things the way people expect you to. I suppose that's the safe way to go through life." she said, looking at the table. This was why she had been a recluse, she scared people away becouse she could be so up front.

Remmy chuckled. "Interesting way of avoiding a subject, but yes, that's what you ordered. And cussing in English won't help the situation." she said, smiling. She was still speaking Japanese but she'd make it clear to the other girl that she could understand her. "And I'll drink the milk and you can have my green tea or order something else."

Remmy chuckled. "Maybe if you around other people. But around me I either think of you as delicate or maybe as a slave to the system. I speak my mind quite a bit as you have noticed and so I prefer it when others do. I don't let a subject drop easily." she said, smiling.

Remmy shrugged and laughed. "I don't think it's practice for me, more the lack of social gatherings. I've never had to be ultra polite since my parents hate it when people add fancy trim to something. Please and thank you is good but that's about it. It's the way my family works, no fancy trimmings is good. My parents are business people though so that sort of explains that, fancy trim can cause them to lose a deal." She shrugged and looked over at Ki. The girl was oddly honest for someone so polite. Most of the time these people weren't like that.

Fancy trim, like all other words, can be used as tools or weapons. you just have to use them correctly and words can heal a heart wound or cause a city to crumble. Polite wirds usually make people smile, and smiling people do not anger as easily, so generally a smile is favorable. maybe?::timid half smile::

Remmy shrugged. "But the ally that you can depend on is the one that you can be blunt with. Fancy trim can also be decieving, it can make someone think you like them when you despise them and can trick people into making an alliance. Simple facts of life. Fancy trim can be useful, but I prefer to only use it against my enemies." she said, smiling.

"There you go getting defensive on me again. And yes, any words can lie. But blunt ones don't generally lure you into a false sense of security. Not saying that they can't, and it's a person's choice really. And blunt words can hurt the worst, but as I said, you can be blunt with a true ally. If you can't be blunt with your friends, who CAN you be blunt with?" she asked, smiling. She didn't mean to make the other girl get to stiffened up and defensive, but then again, that was why she was a recluse. She alienated people. It was also why she wasn't this way around the others, she couldn't afford to alienate them and she didn't really want to alienate Ki.

*Ran hadn't seen Remmy wave him off and thus didn't wave back. As he made it up to the second floor, he stopped and looked off the center balcony. He watched as Remmy and Maralah walked off and shook his head with a sigh* I will see my family again... *He muttered those words out then turned the lock on his apartment door, and stepped in. He closed and latched the door shut behind him, then leaned back against it as if being relieved of a heavy burden on his shoulders*
Awww, poor Ran is getting depressed... twisted
You'll keep your mouth shut. stressed
Ha! Try to stop me! You know better than anyone that without me to get you through the hard times, there's no chance of you seeing our family. evil
They MY family, not yours! And I can get to them without your help! scream
This I've got to see. twisted
*Ran turned and slammed his head against the wall, as if trying to knock the evil voice out of his mind. He just wanted to be himself again, without the worries of changing anymore. He continued to argue between his two personalities and bang his head against the wall. A mother and her small child walked by in the outside hallway and looked to the door, hearing all the screaming and banging*
Mommy, what's going on?
Shhhh, be quiet and keep walking dear.

Kishi blankly looked as Franki left.... then he actually realized FRANKI LEFT! He blinked for a moment before muttering a curse.. grabbing some cookies and giving a "Later kid.." to Kai. Rushing out of the house he wandered.. while still munching on the cookies he took.. wondering where Franki had gone. Unfourtunately.. there is a reason Kishi doesn't wander... he got lost.. sort of. Actually he wound up back at Remmy's house but he had no clue how he got there and actually stood in front of the house for a few minutes staring at it as if it just appeared in front of him suddenly. He could hear the squeals of Hyozan's sister inside the house and groaned.. he DID NOT want to deal with that bundle of energy right now... maybe he could sneak into the kitchen and see if Remmy had any cookies *looks at his hands* His semmed to have dissapered.. maybe he dropped them?
((ROFL... sorry I couldn't help myself... Kishi loving cookies is just TOO funny... expecially since he doesn't realize it!))

::keeping herself at a light jog, Franki managed to make it all the way to the store her family owned without any further accidents. she was silently fuming over the bike incident. she'd never tripped just running before.... but then again she'd never been blind before so she should have remembered. the shop had a sort of homey feel to it. on the outside it was just eye catching enough to draw customers without really indicating what they sold. inside there was just about anything and everything you could imagine, from any culture you could imagine, any place... and if they didn't have it, they could just as easily try to find it. walking in, she called out:: Nan, ya here?
::Nan an elderly woman walked out from the back with a frown:: Franki! ::snapped in italian:: what are you doing here?! you should be in bed resting... you're walking! thank the good lord! ::she quickly hugged Franki then rapped her on the head with a paper fan:: WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF BED?!
::Franki, used to her grandmother's moodswings, winced at the rap:: it's my turn to watch the shop, remember?
that was before your..... well....
blindness ::bluntly::
yes that
i'm FINE!
you are no such thing! :;sternly::
