[D2 MA Silver Frog 3rd District] For formality's sake

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Yeah but I don't remember. Cherry blossom can't be bad though. You see that all over the place."

He tried to remember the meaning for cherry and cherry tree . . . but he ended up just looking like he was in pain.

"Is everything alright Asahina-sama?" She asked with mild panic, moving an inch closer. She didn't dare touch him.

[Asahina Hinata]

"Huh?"

He looked at her, totally confused.

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Huh?"

He looked at her, totally confused.

"Ah, nothing." Sakura seems to slowly gather Hinata's true nature.

"Asahina-sama is so wise!"

Very slowly.

[Asahina Hinata]

He'd never heard that before and honestly didn't know how to react, so he just grinned.

"So are you getting this swimsuit? I guess you don't have a Couturier machine at your Embassy?"

[Hotaru Sakura]

He'd never heard that before and honestly didn't know how to react, so he just grinned.

"So are you getting this swimsuit? I guess you don't have a Couturier machine at your Embassy?"

"A what now?" Asked Sakura with mild surprise, taking the swimsuit off the rack.

[Asahina Hinata]

"A Couturier machine. It makes clothes. We have one at our Embassy that's supposed to be able to predict trends and make you the clothes you need to stand out! I meant to use it myself, but no one told me it takes a day to make things until I looked at it. That's why I'm here."

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura made an Aaaaah face. "Oh really? Sounds like a marvel. I am sure it'll make a wonderful outfit for you! Of course, Asahina-sama looks cute in everything, I am sure!"

[Asahina Hinata]

He grinned back at her.

"Oh but the really cute clothes need to be found as well. I can't just wear a sack."

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura nodded, then pondered. "Not even a sack with bunny ears on it?"

[Asahina Hinata]

He looked like he was actually considering it.

"Hmmmm they'd have to be really good ears and a stylish sack."

[Hotaru Sakura]

He looked like he was actually considering it.

"Hmmmm they'd have to be really good ears and a stylish sack."

"Of course, just the best for Asahina-sama." Sakura took the swimsuit off the rack, and moved towards the purchase, alongside her dress. "Arigatou for the help, Asahina-sama. I knew you were kind onstage, but never would have thought to be even kind off of it."

[Asahina Hinata]

"Oh why wouldn't I be?"

He looked genuinely concerned.

"Oh did you hear all that talk about Naz-kun being a meanie? He's only like that to Yakumo-samaaaa! He's a softie really, just give him a hug and he's fine."

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Oh why wouldn't I be?"

He looked genuinely concerned.

"Oh did you hear all that talk about Naz-kun being a meanie? He's only like that to Yakumo-samaaaa! He's a softie really, just give him a hug and he's fine."

"I did not, but I wouldn't believe it otherwise, Asahain-sama." She nodded like a hummingbird. "You know, one is just used to onstage personas being different on a Scorpion production. It's refreshing to see such awesome sincerity!"

Sakura meanwhile moved towards the counter to pay for her suit. Thankfully it wasn't strictly The Hotness when it came to swimsuits.

[Asahina Hinata]

Hinata just smiled rather blankly. Sincerity? He was literally just being himself.

"I was jealous that Naz-kun got to go to the Homeworld while I was sent here at first, but this planet is great!"
