Hey! Two people responded to my OC drawing request. Unfortunately, neither have dA accounts so I uploaded them to mine. LullubyDust submitted "Mangetsu By Ara" and IwillnamemysonEdroy submitted "Mangetsu fanart by: Tasha." They are the only drawings in my gallery that are not mine, so please go take a look. My screen name is ShingetsuXMangetsu there as well. Also, I submitted my own drawing of Mangetsu older a little while ago. It says age nineteen but it's the outfit she gets after she turns sixteen. Go take a look and remember to review Review REVIEW! ^^
"So now what fork do you use?"
"Umm…" Mangetsu fingered several of her options before holding up a small fork with three tines.
"No, that's a shrimp fork."
"Eww!" She dropped it with a clatter.
Fai chuckled.
"You know you're going to have to eat shrimp and seafood, right?"
She gaped.
"Why should I? It's my party; I should be able to do whatever I want! And anyway, you don't like fish either, how comes you don't have to eat it?"
"Because nobody's watching me."
She huffed,
"Alright, which one do you use?"
"This one," Fai pointed to a larger fork with four tines. "You use this one for your main meat course."
"Wouldn't it be easier if they just brought you your utensil with your course? Or maybe just make a general announcement when it's time to change and which one to pick?"
Fai paused; that actually made sense, at least the first part did anyway. However there was less than a week until Mangetsu's birthday and he decided not to encourage her.
"Maybe, but that's not how it works."
"Of course not, that would make sense."
She had definite mixed feelings about this. She was happy and excited to get out of her rooms and she was excited about all the food Fai had told her about; But she was annoyed about having to dance and she had made it clear that she had no intentions of being overly polite to people she didn't like which, Fai had a feeling, would be most of the people there.
She was wary as well, of King Ashura and why he would keep her isolated for years and then just throw her in amongst hundreds of people.
"It just doesn't make sense; why would he do this?"
"Mang-mang, I asked him to, remember?"
"Yeah," She rolled her eyes, "and then he told you he was already planning it. We didn't decide this Fai, he did. And trust me, there's a reason."
"Okay, Mang-mang."
He knew she was probably right, but there wasn't really anything he could do about it, so why acknowledge it? It was easier to pretend that he was oblivious. Pretend ignorance led to pretend bliss and pretend bliss was all he really deserved.
Sorry it's so short but next chappie is where everything picks up. I'm really excited actually. Please Review^^
