action
[ Then she lets go of his hand. ... And makes a bigger fuss out of it by putting that hand behind her back. ]
action
Aren't you a princess? You didn't just... make people do stuff with you?
action
Yeah, but it's different when it's with a friend. And my attendants are so fussy! "Princess, don't do this! Princess, don't do that! Princess, where are you?" Like that.
action
Hah, you're secretly a troublemaker, aren't you? I knew it! [ Sorry attendants, your princess was a thug. ]
action
What do you mean you knew? [ She's suddenly getting self-conscious of her image. ] I'm not that bad...
action
action
Hey! Tell me!
[ But when he says it's a joke, she stands there, a little disoriented. ]
Huh? A joke? Then... [ He was teasing her again!? She hurriedly catches up. ] Hey! Don't be mean!
action
Unless you want me to treat you like a princess instead...
action
I mean... I told you, right? Back home, I've only ever had one friend. So... I want to make friends normally and be treated normally.
action
[ Oh, if she only had one friend, then that would mean-- ]
... so I guess Alibaba really wasn't your boyfriend, 'love of your life who you still had feelings for' kinda guy, huh.
[ That was kind of sad, but it's not like he could talk. What friends did he even have outside of HOMRA. ]
action 1/2
action
Is that why you were jealous?
action
[ He waves a hand as if to somehow help make himself say the word, but when that doesn't do anything he just turns his head away and keeps walking. ]
Nevermind! Not important!
action
Hey, Yata! Have you ever been in love before?
[ ...just to bring up another topic he probably doesn't want to talk about. Way to go. ]
action
Like right now, over being asked that question. ]
What?! No! Why're you asking? Have you?
action
She hides her face behind her sleeves. ]
Yes.
Mm, I just wanted to know if you did...
action
No, you're... really the only girl my age I've ever even talked to... [ Holy shit lame response. She better keep those sleeves up. ]
Uhm. What was he like, I guess?
action
He was, um... He was handsome. He was strong and intelligent... He always knew what to say. But I knew he would never love me.
You've never talked to another girl before? Really?
action
[ He actually looks at her before his next question, ] Why wouldn't he li- err, love you?
action 1/2
Because I'm the enemy? Because I'm too naive? There are a lot of reasons. Anyway, I was so stupid... I even followed him all the way to his kingdom.
[ There's sadness in the smile she gives him, but also some reassurance. ]
It's okay. I'm over it now.
Re: action
action
At least it didn't seem to bother her too much, maybe. Those thoughts aside, he manages to return the smile. ]
Haaa, you'll be waiting a while, I bet! I actually asked a guy-friend about it, you know? When I thought you liked me, about love and dating... [ He laughs about it now that it no longer applied and thus wasn't too embarrassing to think about. ]
But okay, only if you tell me when you do too.
action
Okay. [ She's never even told Alibaba that sort of thing before. She's really excited for Yata to fall in love!
... ]
Wait— [ WHAT DOES HE MEAN HE TOLD SOMEONE ABOUT HER LIKING HIM... Fortunately, she's distracted by something in the distance. ]
Ah! Isn't that the river?
action
Yeah, yeah! [ How exciting! He flashes a grin her way, ] Wanna race?
[ You know, just normal adult ideas. ]
action
I have a handicap, so you have to give me a headstart!
[ What handicap!?
They're so mature. ]
