[retrogrades]

[When Chihiro comes into view she's looking pretty sick--tired, feverish, and just overall pathetic. She's coughing as she turns on the communicator, and it won't stop there.]

I hate to ask this [cough] b-but does anyone have an alarm clock? Or know where to get one? It's [cough] really impor-- [cough] important that I get one. Thank y--

[As she tries to say thank you and end the transmission, a fit of coughs takes over. It lasts for a minute or so, and as she looks back in her hands at the end, her eyes widen in fear.]

Is this... b-blood?

So, Cynthia-san would be, um... my big sister?

[battledancing]

I would be glad to. If you'd like that, of course.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

W-Would it be alright then if I, um, called you... Onee-san?

[battledancing]

[She blinks for a second at the word, then realizes that must be something from Chihiro's world.] If you want to, then I don't see why not. What does it mean, though?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

O-Oh, please excuse me! I-It means, um, "older sister." If you don't want me to, that's okay...

[battledancing]

No, it's perfectly fine, I just wanted to know what it meant! I like the way it sounds, too.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay... O-Onee-san.

[battledancing]

[She giggles, ruffling Chihiro's bangs.] Is there a special word for "little sister", too?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

U-Umm, you could use "imouto" I guess... but the elder sibling usually just uses the younger sibling's name.

[battledancing]

Ah, I see. Though I could probably use it when referring to you, right? As in, "oh, I know Chihiro, she's my imouto", hmm?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I think you can do that.

[battledancing]

Then that's what I'll do! I just hope I don't forget the word or say it wrong.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I'm sure you won't... Onee-san.

[battledancing]

Thank you, Chihiro. [Have a widening smile and more hair ruffling. ♥]
