Deryn was wandering down the streets of Tokyo, admiring the beautiful cherry blossom trees and such. It was getting close to night, and Deryn noticed , so soon after she started to head back to the air-beast, Leviathan. As she headed back, slowly, somebody bumped into her! It was a Japanese man, his hair as black as a raven and brown eyes, that not to be rude, looked sort of dull. He was wearing a Japanese naval uniform and he wasn't that tall ,really, he was only 165 centimeters (5' 5")! Suddenly the man said "Oh I an terribly sorry I bumped into Sir." and bowed politely.
"Uh, you don't need to be sorry, Mister-" The man looked at her for a moment.
"Honda, my name is Honda Kiku or as you Westerners say, Kiku Honda." Kiku then bowed politely again. "And your name is?"
"Dylan , Dylan Sharp." Kiku then smiled slightly.
"Ah, nice to meet you Dylan,"
"Nice to meet you too , Mr. Honda." After Deryn had said that , she saw a man with short blonde hair and like green eyes, though there was one thing that stood out of his head. His large , bushy eyebrows on which Deryn tried to contain her laughter. Though the man was wearing a green British military uniform with a brown Sam Browne belt. "Ah Kiku, I see you have Midmanship Dylan," The big-browed man said, though how did he know her name? Soon after, Deryn noticed the man had looked at her with a slight smirk. "Hai," Kiku replied with a straight face. "Now I have to go, it was nice to meet you Sharp-San." He continued and bowed again before he walked off.
After Kiku had left, the big-browed man walked towards her, much like a how a gentleman would. "How do you know my barking name?" Deryn asked the man with a frown.
"Oh, I know much more than that, Deryn Sharp." Deryn's eyes widened, he knew her real name?! "Oh my, I have forgotten to introduce myself, I am Arthur Kirkland. Though anyways , I have to warn you about something." Arthur continued.
"Is that the the only reason why you're barking here?"
"No, though I have to warn you about-" Suddenly there was a chuckle coming from behind Arthur and Arthur continued "I have to go." . Soon after Arthur walked away from Deryn. Deryn frowned, he hadn't finished his warning and she then sighed. Soon after she heard a voice saying "Mr. Sharp."
"Alek, is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me." Alek then walked towards Deryn , Bovril perched on his shoulder. "Were you talking to someone?"
"Well I was talking to two people, one was a bum-rag." Deryn then heard Bovril chuckle and the perspicuous loris then said " Japan-San, Mr. Britain ."
