Okay, just a heads up, it reads like this:

person 1 (in this case, me): hullo, I like weird styles

person 2 (you, in this case): yes, you do, you freak of nature

Just thought I'd worn you... Enjoy!


I think I understand the theory…

I'm sure you do

But I've never actually…

It's easy, I promise

So it would seem, but

I'll make it simple.

I have to admit, I'm nervous

You? What for?

It seems like too much of a delicate process for someone as clumsy as me

You're hardly clumsy,

It's best I get it over with now in a controlled situation, though

Yes

since it's a necessary skill to have in case of certain emergencies

Oh, yes

and it's best that I learn from someone I know

Definitely

…Thank you for, um, helping me

Of course

Shall we start?

Oh, yes, certainly, let's, um, commence or start or begin or

You're stalling!

Ha, ha! I guess I can't fool you!…So…may I

You said you understood the theory

I do, I do! It's just

Put your hands

Around the waist, I know; "not too high, not too low"

Good…not too tight

Sorry!

No need to apologize, I know you're nervous

I'll try and calm down

Take your time

…Okay, I think

Your palms are sweating…Don't be embarrassed! It's only natural

I can't do it

Don't give up

I can't

Treat it like a mission

…"Not too high and not too low"

Yes

"Gently lift and"

Perfect

"Pull closer"

Closer

"Closer and…"

"and…"?

You have pretty eyes

I

"nose to nose"

Nose to…

"Put all your lov-emotion into your lips and"

"Don't forget to breathe"!

Yes. Right…um, good…good job

Thank you

Very convincing lo-emotion

Thank you

For a moment it was almost

like we were

but I don't assume

I would never assume

but it was almost like

but we aren't

like we were

In love.

Well, thank you

No, no! Don't

You are a noble lady

please get up!

And a good friend

you don't have to

Your palms are sweating.

It's getting late

Yes, I should be going

I'll walk you

No, it's just downstairs, I'll be fine

Well done! I'm glad to have helped you out

I

Mission successful!

Yes…

Good night!

Shizune,

Gai?

I…I don't feel prepared to use that…technique in a…real life situation

Oh, um

I think it would be best if

Yes

well, practice makes perfect

Oh, yes

Shall we continue my lessons?

Definitely.

For how long?

Until you get it perfect

Shizune,

if those are your terms

yes

I don't think I'll ever get it perfect.
