Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Mhmmmm~!” The hint of enthusiasm that Antonio showed toward her something that Miss Crawford adored and returned many times over, the girl with the green gaze practically chirped with happiness as he confirmed her status and suddenly found her usually lofty spirits returning to her quickly, and quietening the parts of her mind that made her feel anxious speak a little less loudly as her mind seemed to fill with far more worthwhile things to dwell on. “It was a bit intimidating learning japanese when I moved over, but I got it down pretty good with the help of a friend of mine~?" It feeling like it was so much easier for the bubbly brit to talk now that she had at least a little bit of the interest and attention of this mysterious man she had met in the park, with her nerves seeming to ease just that little bit the brunette beamed at him and began to talk about herself far more readily, though she continued to show her customary level of humility as she confessed the fact that Kanna had been a driving force behind her acclimatization. Though not in so many words. “Y-Yeah…? That’s r-right.” Quickly finding herself stumbling again just a little bit more when her buddy on the bench seemed to assume that she was studying archaeology herself, while her first instinct was to correct that guess for one reason or another Chloe seemed to go along with it, and was immediately puzzled by the fact that she did that. Wait, why did I lie to him there? Mentally rebuking herself the moment she realized the deceit that had slipped from her lips, for a second or two the foreign femme lost her focus as she wondered why it had felt so important to go along with that idea, and assumed that she was just being polite ultimately, but that wasn’t really the truth. It was a bit bad, but… Hopefully it won’t cause too much trouble? I’ll make sure to tell him the truth before it becomes a big issue, right? In some way swayed by the impressive figure of her magnificent and mature matriarch and also still a little bit self-conscious of the difference in age she saw between them, subconsciously the sylph wanted for him to see her as more of a woman than a girl, and that was probably why she elected to go with the idea rather than correct him as she probably should have done. Ah, the folly of youth, eh? “Oh it’s… It can be hard work but also rewarding as well? But um…” Naturally this little act of duplicity seeming to make the next line of questioning feel a little bit difficult for a moment but the emerald eyed Englishwoman electing to use as much of her educational experience as she could, though the starting point of their common understanding was not entirely accurate Miss Crawford offered little deception as she noted how her studies were going, and oddly found herself with a sudden urge to confess a small woe within her that she had been keeping cooped up for a while now. “I-I’m, not sure how well I’m doing though? I used to be pretty high up in the class back in England but it feels like… I’m lagging behind a lot of people here? Like… I’m kind of letting the side down, so to speak?” Unsure exactly of why she found it that bit easier to tell a stranger a little bit of the concern that she had been feeling since coming to UA but it probably having something to do with the fact that the distance between them made it a bit easier not to feel like a disappointment to note the fact that she was struggling with her schoolwork in places, while the breezy beauty had never held herself in such high esteem that she had her pride prickled when she had been humbled by the high standard that the school kept she still felt like she was lagging behind the curve a bit, and that didn’t sit well with her. She wanted to be better, to be good at what she did, and perhaps falling behind her peers was affecting her more than she let on? |

Chloe spoke how learning japanese was intimidating when she moved, but she got pretty good with a friend of hers. Antonio nodded "Si. Japanese is a bit of a tricky language. I still feel I have to take time to think over the words and what is correct to use" he told her
He then learned that Chloe was emulating her mother. She was an archeologist. He had no idea what an archeologist was doing in Japan but it was interesting and exotic. Maybe he can get her to talk about that, something thats in her comfort zone.
She spoke a bit how she is not sure how she is doing and that she feels she's lagging behind some japanese peers. Antonio nodded as he listened to her. Although he didnt know what exactly to say
"I mean... dont let that discourage you. Even if you're lagging... doesnt mean you're bad. I mean look at it this way... things can always be worse. You know more about archeology than me. Just give it time and you'll be back on that horse" he said with a mild shrug. Thats the best he could say. He was not a motivational speaker and he was not an expert in that area.

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Heehee, I didn’t really notice you seemed to be struggling?” Not really knowing that the man at her side seemed to be concerned about giving her reasons to open up and if anything Miss Crawford seeming to be going from strength to strength now that she had the chance to just chat mindlessly with him and not rely on going into her head place too much, she shook her head and gave a little chuckle as Antonio professed a lack of proficiency with the language of the land that they found themselves in, and admitted that this was something she hadn’t observed all that much. “Do you know any more~? Other than Spanish and Japanese~?” Fond of lingual learning and that fuelling her to show a little more excitement as their topic turned back toward that, the brunette became bubblier by the moment as she approached something with which she had a strong sense of assurance and voiced her curiosity over the expertise of her fellow foreigner, and relished the chance to do so. “Heheheh, I-I suppose you’re right?” Chuckling and touching her cheek softly as her buddy on the bench tried to encourage her with her woes, though his interest and attention toward a subject that made her feel sensitive was something that made Chloe blush, ultimately it was also something that made her smile as well. “Feeling sorry for myself won’t fix anything, will it?” It not really like her to spend her days languishing like this anyway, especially when she was the one who had come to sit with this stranger in order to try and cheer him up, the fact that he seemed to show at least some concern for her made the girl with the green gaze happier than she otherwise might have expected, and she felt better for his advice as well. Though a particular part of it did catch her attention in a silly and goofy manner. “Heeheeheeheehe, speaking of horses, do you ride…?” Unable to hear him mentioning her climbing back into the saddle and not imagine some fairy tale image of this handsome figure riding up to her gallantly like some noble lord or prince coming to rescue her, because of how tickled the small and silly fantasy made the teen she couldn’t help but broach it, albeit with a little of her own awkwardness returning as being to forward with a fellow like this made her feel just a little bit flustered. She didn’t want seem off putting by being all nosey and insistent, after all. “It’s probably an uncommon thing these days but you um… Seem the sort who might? B-Because of how cultured you are, and stuff?” Equestrianism by far less common than it was a century or more ago but it something that the emerald eyed lass had learned in school, for one reason or another Miss Crawford took the risk to see if she might find something else she might have in common with Antonio, and something more that they could hopefully share their enjoyment of in short order, even if she was being a bit too optimistic in that regard… |

Chloe spoke how she hasnt noticed that he stuggled. Antonio smiled a bit "Ahhh, but that is because I am a quick thinker. It is indeed by far one of my most difficult languages. Spanish and English are easy and use the same alphabet. Japanese use kanji, which is confusing and mildly displeasing. But alas, you have to learn and adapt to what life gives you" he said
She then asked if he knows more
"Of course I know more" but as for what else, he decided not to say. Where was the fun in telling it all at once. Some other time, maybe. So after that they walked about school stuff. Chloe said how she fears she lags behind her peers. And Antonio tried to encourage her that its not that bad. At least she knows more than him in archeology
Chloe said that feeling sorry for herself wont fix anything... will it. Antonio just said as he smiled "It didnt fix anything for me when I did it moments ago."
Speaking of Horses, Chloe asked if he rides on horses "Si. Of course I do. But I havent done that in ages honestly. I dont know if Im any good anymore."
He had to leave the high life back in Europe to start anew in Japan. Still, his wealth wasnt transferred yet to his new bank account so he can properly enjoy the wealthy high life in Japan. He had to make sure the authorities dont notice suspicious activities.

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “I dunno, having grown up on English the masculine and feminine aspects of European languages like spanish had me confused at first? And then, heeheehee, sign language is something else entirely? I still tend to say the words aloud as I ‘talk’ that?” Tilting her head as Antonio pointed out the difficulty of the transition from his native tongue to the one of the rising sun, Miss Crawford tapped her cheek as she remembered her own struggles with language in school and smiled as she found another comparable example to consider, and noted it like they were in a game or something cycling from the easiest to hardest modes of play as she seemed to unintentionally brag of all the disciplines that she had mastered. “I find that Japanese is tricky, but interesting? There structure is a bit more rigid, like the parts of words are like phonetic building blocks? It seems to give it an interesting rhythm and um, sense of poetry?” Ultimately the topic of communication one that excited the bubbly brunette immensely and perhaps that in part because people always seemed impressed with her talent and the breadth of her understanding, the green eyed girl began to ramble along about a topic that excited her for several moments before realizing what she was doing, and feeling a little bit dorky for showing such high degrees of geekiness for anything academic. “Hehehehe, are you um… Feeling any better now?” Fortunately given something new to focus on as the encouragement of her buddy on the bench seemed to touch on his own wellbeing, given how flustered the foreign fox had become and the topics they had covered she had almost forgotten her reason for joining him in this off the cuff fashion, but was glad to have the chance to address the issue in a more comprehensive fashion now that the ‘door’ had been opened to her. “I was… Sort of worried when I saw you? You looked really sad?” This also seeming like a route through which she could establish a little honesty by voicing the concern that she had felt upon spotting him sulking as a solitary soul in the middle of this busy park, Chloe lifted her hand to the back of her head and scratched it as she offered a sheepish and subtle confession of why she had been bothering him, and hoped that at the very least her intrusion into his life had helped him lift himself from his woes, even if only by a little. “Oh, you do~?” Grinning when her silly little fantasy seemed to hold a little truth in it, Miss Crawford couldn’t help but smile as she was given the chance to enjoy the idea of Antonio looking dashing on horseback and questioned him in a manner that was meant more to confirm that idea for herself than anything, all while she delighted in her imagery a little bit more. “Hehehehe, me either, being over here doesn’t give you as many opportunities, does it? But I’m sure it’s just like riding a bike, but with legs? And fewer wheels, usually~?” Perhaps it seeming a shame to her that he hadn’t had much of a chance to ride of late since that was another fact they had in common, while the emerald eyed enchantress missed her own ponies and all her pets from back home she tried to be encouraging of her new friend in receipt of the news, and in a weird way wondered if they might get a chance to go riding together sometime. Maybe that was a subject she should look into when she got the chance? |

She started taking geeky and linguistic stuff. Antonio didnt say anything and just let her speak. Once he finished that geek out, she asked how is he feeling. Is he feeling any better. Antonio just nodded. It was too early to say. He was momentarily fine. But the problem would return. He looked at her when she said she was worried when she saw him. He looked sad "Oh....erm... right... I was... Not something I want to talk about" he said quickly brushing that subject away. He didnt wanna drag her in his depressing life. "Ask me anything else"
They somehow got to talking about horses. She asked if he rid on horse. He said he did, although gave a disclaimer that he hasnt done so in ages. She grinned, apparently liking that. Chloe said that she hasnt riden on a horse in ages as well. Besides Japan doesnt really offer an opportunity for that stuff. Antonio nodded, but didnt know much what to say
"So... I assume you like Equestrianism?" he asked
It was mostly grasping at straws as he didnt know what to talk about, he glanced at the time and then looked up at the skies and the clouds as he listened to what she would answer. He needed to relax, but he also didnt want to move at all. This spot is nice. Maybe he could come here more often. Maybe. Its not like he has anything else

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “O-oh, yes, of course?” A little bit bewildered when she found herself being cut off by Antonio, even though he did not do so in any kind of way that could be considered rude and his desire to keep his issues to himself was totally understandable, Miss Crawford couldn’t help but feel her sense of confidence crumble beneath her because of it. “I’m sorry for prying?” Nodding and then bowing her head as she offered the brown haired boy an apology for digging into an issue that clearly seemed to make him feel uncomfortable, though the british brunette was still rather curious as to the matters that seemed to burden him she could sense she would do little good by trying to dig further, and because of that decided that she would let the issue lie. After all, if it troubled him it wasn’t worth going over again if he wasn’t going to get something out of it, right? “So um…” The loss of that topic seeming to afflict their conversation more than one would assume that the man might have intended or Chloe would have ever guessed, with their momentum seeming to have stalled because of the need to cut that topic off and her flimsy assurance seeming to topple with it, all that the green eyed girl could do was try to reach for a new source of discussion but quickly feel like she was coming up short. “Heh?” The bench buddy of the usually bubbly brit seeming like he always had his guard up and that making it rather hard for our young heroine to get a proper read off him, the timid teen felt like she was fumbling around in the dark for a light switch or something as she tried to get things moving again, but only really seemed to manage a few incoherent sentences as she blushed and felt a little intimidated by the way he checked his watch, and once again wished she had the bearing of someone older and wiser than her. “Oh yes, well, when I get the chance?” At the very least spared from her sense of helplessness when Antonio seemed to enquire about her interest in all things equestrian, Miss Crawford slid her bangs behind her ear and smiled as she confirmed that fact, and was also glad that the seemingly shared status of their interest did not make the topic seem wholly snooty or elitist. “We have some pretty big grounds back home and room enough for a stable so I’ve grown up with it?” In some ways feeling like she should mind her tongue in certain situations so as not to make other parties feel envious or uncomfortable about the affluence from whence this breezy beauty came from, it was nice to talk about such things with someone who seemed like they wouldn’t judge her as some frivolous minded rich girl or something of the sort, and could instead allow her to chat about this matter without all that many worries in mind… |

Antonio nodded. "Thats nice indeed. Maybe one day you get to ride again" he said
But it seems the two were running out of topics. He needed to know what to talk about if she wanted to talk. Well, it seems like she does wanna stay. Well he tried to get to know her then "So tell me, aside from languages, archeology and horse back riding. What do you like to do?" he thus asked her for her hobbies, her likes and dislikes. It was a safer question to ask than whats your quirk or do you have a quirk. Plus he didnt want to get asked that question. He didnt want to bring up his quirk. The whole reason why she saw him in that state. So he wanted to try and get to know her as a person. She could be a nice distraction... maybe... probably not though. Its best not to drag innocent people in his life style. He may be mafia. He may be a professional killer. But he only involved people that should be involved. Not innocents. It was his twisted and skewed morality. He had standards... sort of. He was still conflicted what to do with Chloe. Maybe they wont see eachother again? Who knows? What if they do? Well then... always the old strategy. Keep them an arms length away |

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Oh, I’m sure I will~?” Smiling warmly at the encouragement that she was offered by Antonio, Miss Crawford beamed at her bench buddy as a little breeze kicked things up just enough gears to make her caramel-tinted locks dance a little, and our lady lead was peeled her fingers through those flickering flecks in order to tidy them up as a result. “Once I go home for Summer Break and stuff, I bet mother and I will take the horses out for a good ride together? Maybe have a picnic or something too?” Nodding as she took the optimism that was offered to her and running with it, the green gaze of the girl turned a little misty as she looked into the middle distance and imagined the homecoming she would receive when she got her respite from education in the warmest season, and could easily guess what she would be up to. Mama did tend to spoil her whenever she was home, didn’t she? “Hmmmm… Well, spending time with my friends?” Blinking a little as her companion asked her about her interests and then humming as she considered the question more carefully than the average person might have, the emerald eyed enchantress was glad to notice that now they had moved away from the specifics of her education she had a much easier time of answering his questions with her usual level of honesty, and as a result mentioned the things she tended to get up to in her free time with little issue. “And I’ve gotten pretty into fitness recently because one of the guys I know is a big workout junkie, so I’ve been joining him for that as well?” Smiling as one particular form of activity and the young man she indulged it with sprang to mind with a level of importance that she didn’t expect, Chloe smiled as she reflected on the amount of time she had been spending on the task of self-improvement with the loud lad who acted as her coach, and wondered if the effort she put in was starting to show in her physique. “Honestly, it’s been more of a recent trend to jog around parks with a water bottle in hand, than stroll around them with ice cream of late?” Quietly hoping that fact might impress this dashing figure, while her flowing dress largely hid the abs and shapely leg muscles she had started to notice of late, at the very least the definition in her shoulders, arms and calves was easier to spot, and hopefully something he could enjoy about her image. Wow, even this innocent angel could have a little vanity in the right circumstance, huh? “Other than that, I like reading, and playing the piano but that’s another hobby that was a little hard to bring with me Japan? Hard to get one in hand luggage~?” Perhaps a tiny bit flustered when she recognised her desire to have her appearance acknowledged by a man who half an hour ago she had never met before in her life but opting to barrel on the regardless, now they had a more easy-going tempo between them and the man at her side showed some interest in her the teen felt more relaxed, and was able to ramble more in her customary fashion and even share a joke as well. “W-What about you, Mr Antonio? Heeheehee, I assume you don’t spend all day every day talking to strange women in the park, right~?” The bubbly brunette happy to feel like the centre of attention for such a dashing figure but at the same time also interested in him as well, Miss Crawford tentatively enquired about the hobbies and interests of her host with a sense of curiosity and even more humour, and she hoped that a little self-deprecation might help him to smile more and open up about himself as well? |

Now, Antonio wanted to get to know Chloe, so he asked what does she like to do. She then said spending time with her friends as the first thing. But after a bit of thought she elaborated a bit more saying she's into fitness because of the guys she knows is a work out junkie. So she would join him regularly. Chloe said this is a rather recent trend of hers to jog around and work out. And she does that more often than taking a stroll with ice cream. She also said she had other interests like reading, the piano and she made a joke how one cant just simply bring a piano. But Antonio latched on the first part of her answer, which is the boy and working out.
"Oh my? A guy? Sounds like someone is in loooove~" he says in a brotherly teasing tone. Because one does not just go and work out because their friend is a work out junkie. There is love in the air. He then shrugged "Well hopefully you snag him before some other girl does.. unless he's into guys... that'd be the worst" After a bit of teasing, Chloe managed to ask what about him. Antonio rested and laid back on the bench, looked at the clouds a bit before speaking
"I used to have hobbies like cooking, singing, dancing, playing a guitar and a bit of bull taming." he then chuckles "But as you can see, I had to leave some of my hobbies behind. And for those that I could take with me.... well, lets just say I get swamped with work" he explained, in a way this was a hint of his age. He got to do many things over the years, but ever since coming to Japan, he didnt get to dedicate time for himself. He only lived to serve others.

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “I-In love?!” Growing comfortable in the company of Antonio but all of a sudden finding herself becoming more flustered than she felt like she ever had before at the remark that the man made toward her and the connection she shared with Kirk, the bubbly brunette blinked at the words he offered in disbelieve before turning the colour of beetroot as she processed them, and once she had done was really rather worked up to say the least. “I-It’s not like that! W-We’re just training partners!” Protesting against such an idea to a rather heavy and perhaps in the eyes of some excessive degree, the usually easy-going Miss Crawford found herself exploding with feelings of panic not least because it felt like it was important to her to project the fact that there was nothing untoward going on with her and the loud lad she had taken to working out with, even though she bore her gym buddy no ill will and now that she thought about it had a strong pull toward him she couldn’t help but flap as she was overwhelmed by her sudden sense of disconcertion, and her silent desire to make sure that her bench buddy knew she wasn’t ‘taken’ as well. “Ohhhh, those sound like so many wonderful hobbies~?” A sense of sadness seeming to seep into the heart of the young sylph as her companion suggested he had no time for his interests, Chloe couldn’t help but feel disappointed by that fact and quietly wondered if that such feeling had something to do with why her new friend had been looking so dour when she had first seen him, and as such decided should make an effort to encourage him to rediscover a passion or distraction or three. “It’s a shame you don’t have time for them, is there anything you can do to make the time to indulge them~?” Shaking her head as she reflected on his confession and pursing her lips a little, the emerald enchantress hummed and frowned to herself as she mulled over such details and implored her pal from the park that his lack of home life fulfilment might be something he could solve with some clever scheduling, and hoped he understood that she would also be happy to help him discover a window in his timekeeping through which he could indulge himself once more. “I mean your job can’t be that busy, can it~?” More than anything something seeming a bit fishy to the foreign femme however and that the amount of time that Antonio apparently appeared to dedicate to his job, while being driven and ambitious was never a wholly bad thing one needed to know when to take a break, and if he was looking depressed because he wasn’t getting enough ‘me’ time that was something to solve immediately. “You seem to have made time for me, after all~?” That however not completely solving the equation and Miss Crawford quickly pointing out the fact that despite his professed busy lifestyle he had found time enough to indulge her, while she hoped the recognition of such a fact would not persuade him to pursue another venture of entertainment in the near future, at the same time the green eyed girl also wanted the fresh perspective to enlighten her new friend a little as to how he could enable his enjoyment a little better from here on out… |

"Suuurre you are" he continued to tease because he was sure that Chloe had a thing for sporty boy. He really doubted an intellectual like her would go out to train and jog just because of her health. Maybe she was the type to do that. He did go from what he would do. He would probably try and be sporty as well if he found someone he liked. All that stuff about having the common hobbies and whatnot. To him, training partners sounded like an excuse
After a bit of teasing, he ceased. The two began to talk about their hobbies. Chloe first said hers and then Antonio said his. Chloce praised his many hobbies, but he felt that she was bummed he didnt have time for them. In fact she did laer say that it was a shame. He put a hand on her shoulder to try and reassure her "Its okay. Maybe one day I find time. Its just usually I tend to put work first. So now that I have a day off, I dont know what to do with myself."
"Heheheh... I am a bit busy. I do a bunch of things. Lots of jobs. I'm union delegate, an insurance adjuster, a chef and a political campaigner." he then paused for a second "Well... cross out the political part. I dont do that anymore." he said. It was more of an euphemism, than what he actually did..... mafia work. He does sense good nature in Chloe. But he doesnt want to get her involved in his problems.
He looked at Chloe who said that he made time for her. He chuckled and blushed a bit from embarassment "S-si. I guess I did", she did get him there. He was here doing nothing, in a way making time for her. But still, he didnt really wanna do anything today as well. He liked sitting here. He looked around the park. Maybe he can do that old man thing people do. Like feed the birds and whatnot. The pidgeons |

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Y-You got that right!” Blushing a little bit as her bench buddy seemed to give a rather unsubtle show of failing to believe her story, up until this point in time Chloe hadn’t really ever considered how she felt about the friend she had in fitness beyond purely platonic terms, but now that the issue had been presented before her she couldn’t help but think about how fond she was of him. I mean, I don’t, right? And I’m sure he doesn’t either? He’s… He likes girls like that cosplayer, not someone like me, right? It taking her by surprise really, even though she denied the assertion that had been laid about before her the green eyed girl couldn’t help but question the feelings she had for someone who had become so close to her, and as such wondered how he felt about her as well, which seemed to only make her heart throb all the more honestly because a small part of her hoped he did. In that way. “Heheheh, well that’s not good, is it?” Returning to the moment as her new friend seemed to confess the fact that he had been rather starved for time to himself of late, while a young woman who attended a hero school was hardly in a position to question another about their busy scheduling it still seemed a surprising and sad fact, and something that Miss Crawford simply had to speak out against as well. “You need to plan to get more ‘me’ time, no? You need a chance to recharge, Antonio, no matter how busy your job might be?” Shifting her position on the bench to look into the eyes of the youngish man next to her and letting those emeralds shine with earnestness as she did so, a moment later the brunette had reached for the hand of the handsome stranger she had met in order to reassure him and help pass along her message, imploring him to look after himself a bit better and be a bit more selfish. After all, one had to take care of the self if they were ever gonna succeed in looking after others, or at least that was something she had learned in school. “Heheheh, oh wow, that’s… That’s a lot of jobs?” Chuckling softly as she found herself being confronted by a rather large list of professions by the guy with whom she shared both a conversation and a rather handsome green gaze, even after cocking her head and taking a breath the bubbly brit couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed by such a tally of tasking, and scratched the back of her head as she felt a bit intimidated by it. Yet as she found her buddy showing her just a hint of a blush all of a sudden Chloe couldn’t help but feel a little more relaxed, and continue on regardless. “You definitely seem like a workaholic with so many! Jeez, that's way too many jobs for a normal person! No wonder you're so worn out?” Not finding her curiosity quelled however even when she was confronted with so many proverbial notches on the belt loops or whatever that saying was, with such a vast and important array of positions in front of her Miss Crawford felt a little bit suspicious of how he found the time to complete all of them, though her innocence would mean that she would never guess the implication of what Antonio really was. To her, without some strong piece of evidence otherwise, he was just someone with his shoulder to the wheel, even if it did seem a bit too often of late by her opinion… |

He smiled because she looked so adorable with that shy blush. It was clear she had a crush on someone. Like, why would you, a smart bookworm go and jog and train if thats not what you do? Clearly she was to impress a sports jock. Thats the conclusion Antonio came to, since he had no idea this was a UA student and hence training would be normal to them. To him Chloe is a normal lil girl who is trying to impress a cute jock boy
Moving the conversation forward they talked about hobbies and whatnot. Antonio explained that sadly, he has no time for hobbies due to work. And even went so far as to say what he works... in a way... He was taking liberties and being abstract with his work position. She then said that he indeed needs more 'me' time. A chance to recharge and such. Antonio thought about it. But at this point in time he was worried about having free time. He was very split on all of this. He didnt wanna think about his quirk, but he wanted his hobbies. But also he had a hard time getting back into his old and regular hobbies in Japan. In a way, he realized he had a harder time accommodating in Japan. He wondered how and why. Well.. glancing at his surroundings, he could see why. Japan just feels... cold and artificial to him. He doesnt like the ambience at all. He remembered a verse of a song he once heard. It said 'The Sun of another's sky wont warm you the same way yours does.' He didnt remember the exact verse, but he remembered the meaning. Nothing is as good in a foreign land like at home. Even the sun doesnt feel right. He remembered how the song said that bread felt bitter, how you have no one in a foreign land, that you have no brother here.
Chloe remarked how he had a lot of jobs. Antonio just politely looked at her and smiled. He didnt really say anything to that, since he knows. But she made a good point. He made time for her, which caused him to blush a bt out of embarassment and admit that it was true. Chloe said he seems like a workaholic with so many jobs. Antonio replied "What can I say? I like having money" he said with a shrug, explaining why he does so much. To him it was as simple as that honestly

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ Did I say something wrong…? The quietness of her companion seeming just a little bit intimidating for a moment or two, the initial reflex of Miss Crawford meant that couldn’t help but think she had done something to upset Antonio, and as such she paused herself and let her emerald eyes wash over him as she tried to understand why he had suddenly become so speechless, but it didn’t take long for it to dawn on her that maybe there was another reason for the silence. “Heheheheh, well, money doesn’t always buy you happiness, right?” The buddy she had found on the bench seeming to be considering something carefully rather than finding a reason to be offended by his companion, when he finally spoke he said something off the cuff that made the bubbly brunette shake her head and chuckle, and then playfully denounce his attitude a little given what they had talked about. Unfortunately, she had little more time to continue than that, however, as something began to chirp from her bag. Don’t Stop~♪
Never give up~♫
Hold your head high and reach the top~♪ “Oh gosh… I totally forgot!” The face of the femme glowing as fished through the satchel and plucked out a small and flat device that was singing and dancing away to itself with a picture of her matriarch clear in view, all too suddenly the sylph realized that she had gotten so caught up in chatting that she had completely lost track of both the time and the engagements she had planned for her day, and suddenly felt like no matter what choice she made she was going to end up disappointing someone. “I-I told my mother I’d call her today and we got caught up chatting and stuff and now she’s calling me cause it’s hard to arrange stuff together when you live so far away…?” Holding that jittering and jingling item in her hand and staring at the pretty face of her parent for several seconds, she looked apologetically toward the man next to her and shook her head, not wanting to let him down and yet also knowing all too well that her magnificent matriarch would only keep worrying if she ignored her. “I’m so sorry but… I’m gonna have to take this?” Taking a deep breath as she stood up from the bench and then gave a half bow to the boy she had shared it with, Miss Crawford felt her cheeks blazing as she felt so childish for needing to abandon this new face in her life, but took a deep breath as she decided to ensure that while she would be gone soon hopefully she would not readily be forgotten. “But um… Do you wanna meet up again, sometime?” Hating to keep the woman who raised her waiting but at the same time wanting Antonio to know that her departure would be more of a rain check than a goodbye, as the mobile device continued to shuffle and chirp with an old song she had liked when she was little the blushing brunette asked the pal she had made in the park about the possibility of a future meeting, and hoped that despite her sudden need to be rude he would at the very least be willing to consider it…? |
