(( Lol, Angel is quite the rebel. ))
"Thirteen? Wow, I thought you were much younger!" Aiko laughed, smiling cheerfully. "Haha, my apologies. So...how do you defend yourself? I mean..." she paused, realizing that she had poorly phrased her question. "...how do you fight? With magic?"
She slipped up next to him, smiling softly to him, "Hi," she said cheerily, "Hotaru right?" she questioned as she followed where he'd been staring off to, taking notice to the fireflies.
Hotaru turned his head slightly to see who was speaking to him. For a small moment, he thought it was Aiko, but he soon discovered that it was the girl named Kiyoko. He looked at her, then turned his head away quickly before he could fully make eye contact with her.
"Yes...That's my name," he responded shyly. He saw it coming; he knew the others would be more than willing to greet and befriend him, but he didn't think it would happen so soon.
Ehh...damn, I really hate meeting new people...I hope she doesn't ask me any personal questions...
He sighed, then turned his head again, trying to force himself to look at her. He knew he wouldn't make friends if he continued to act shut down.
"You are Kiyoko, am I right?"
