Right. My mistake.

[Chuuya smiles. He wasn't going to push the topic, sure that she'd more interested in chatting about such things later on. After all, it wasn't like he himself spoke of those things with anyone yet. Too new. Gotta get a feel for everyone first.]

Well, if you're ever interested in hearing about my Japan, I'm sure there will be a good opportunity for it sometime.

[She shakes her head, having a feeling he's taken that as a refusal. Besides, there's no point whatsoever in hiding what's going to become obvious sooner rather than later.]

I don't mind talking about my time. I was just surprised you'd ask such a question of a woman.

...I'm an outcast in my time precisely because it's frowned upon. [Just sayin'.]

[mrfancyhat]

Yeah, it wouldn't have been as surprising if you knew the woman who raised me. It's pretty ridiculous that you were viewed as an outcast, though it's not entirely shocking because of the time period.

You know, you would have liked Big Sis. She was a traditional Japanese woman herself... well, except that she, too, has red hair.

[Chuuya laughs.]

[Every time Makie gets to hear people think how ridiculous it is, it's a tiny bit more salve. She smiles at that.]

Red hair is very uncommon, but not unheard of. May I ask... what constitutes a traditional Japanese woman from your time? [Because surely a whole host of things have changed.]

sorry for the delay /o\

[mrfancyhat]

Different than what you're used to, I'm sure. Honestly, in our line of work, she was probably viewed by others as a cruel woman.

[He laughs.]

But that is typical of societies that expect women to be passive all the time. However, being that she took me in and raised me, I know that she's a strong, fierce woman. She's very loving, though that is also her downfall, as sometimes she'll let herself be used for the sake of others. Someday she'll see that she's stronger than she believes, like I know her to be.

No problem!

[It's such a similar comparison to the view Makie has of her own mother that she can't help but smile a little.]

My mother always defended me, even when it meant losing her own place. She was... much the same, in her own way.

You're very proud of her. [It's good to see.]
