Anyway they're just going to be two fucking aliens today i guess, because he looks over and it really is just ALL ALIEN MANNERISMS HERE. From the way he tilts his head to the UNBLINKING WAY he observes Haru to the general doll-like look of his face when there aren't any expressions on it, it's very much the vibe of a thing that is not human despite looking human.]
[NOT LIKE THIS. They're just both watching these freaky fishes and keeping their demon hands to themselves. Sunfish are such terrors. The fact that they're watching this fuckass fish float by and not freaking out about it is a testament to them both being aliens.]
I live in their village.
[HE CAN'T IGNORE THEM THEY TOOK HIM IN so he doesn't have a home but now he kind of DOES maybe.]

...Hello.
[Just mirrors Haru's inflections.]
no subject
haru is really practically an alien so this isn't as unsettling as it could be. he cants his head to see if this doll of a person will mimic him. ]
Are you Shouki-san?
no subject
I am not. Are you Shouki-san?
[What kind of weird game.]
no subject
No. My name is Nanase.
[ does scara even know this, whatever ]
Who are you, then?
no subject
Nanase.
[Just repeating it... kind of with the same inflections that Haru says it with.]
The villagers call me "Kabukimono".
no subject
he knows what this word is, though the image it conjures isn't quite right. ]
Like a ronin?
no subject
He just watches a fucking ominous sunfish float by.]
I am told it is because am eccentric and do not have a home.
[The way it's ronin but also specifically ronin who were fuckin weirdos.]
no subject
You can just ignore people like that.
[ says another weirdo ]
You don't have a home? Or a name?
no subject
I live in their village.
[HE CAN'T IGNORE THEM THEY TOOK HIM IN so he doesn't have a home but now he kind of DOES maybe.]
I do not have a name like Nanase.
no subject
That doesn't mean you have to listen to them.
[ okay but it kind of does. does haru ignore most of the people in his small town though? yes. ]
Where are you from, then?
no subject
There's a little bit of hesitation as he looks over.]
They are kind. [They still just call him Kabukimono but listen. HARU YOUR SMALL TOWN. A pause at the question.]
A cave. [HELP.] Tenshukaku, before then.
no subject
You just emerged from a cave one day?
no subject
It is the cave that held the Pavilion I was placed in.
no subject
Why were you there?
no subject
It is where my creator left me.
no subject
...Right. You're not human.
[ the way he can just pepper this creature with questions instead of scaramouche ]
Why did your creator leave you there?
no subject
...I believe it is because she found me to be defective.
no subject
kabukimono is cute... his tender memories that haru is not yet aware of. ]
...Defective?
no subject
It's fine... It's fine...]
I am not suited for the duty that I was created for.
[
Just starts tearing up. He doesn't look sad and he's not crying HIS EYES JUST START WATERING AND THEN HE'S SHEDDING GHIBLI TEARS.]
no subject
anyway this does not look fine at all???????? haru startles a little, straightening up. ]
Ah...
[ he sits there stupidly for a second before gently patting kabukimono's shoulder, with genuine softness. ]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.
no subject
This is so funny though HARU. HE'S TRYING SO HARD. This fuck just stares at him with his big ol alien eyes that are watery.]
I am not upset. It is merely something that happens, sometimes.
