"Mine look like a baby boar playing in mud, only with the boar being a person...Being followed by a boar." Sayaku grinned, adding, "In my area we didn't have television or commercials, it was too small a village. But as a baby I was indeed considered cute."

Sayaku had been too worried about Oliver at that point to worry about the flash and, thus, had to blink in surprise from it. "You okay, Olive? Glad I was able to catch you." He didn't notice Joey's later not until after, pulling Oliver into him but a bit differently, so that it wasn't as if he'd fallen. "This okay with you?"

"And we're in costume," Sayaku noted, chuckling. "So now we can use this as proof that we were in the play together. If our families need proof..." He thought about it. Why had he even said such a plain and useless thing? "My parents would want to see a picture of you so...It makes sense I guess..."

"Thanks, Joey," Sayaku replied, grinning. "And that's true...Reading between the lines is a good thing. If you don't it seems like there's nothing left to the imagination with stories. If everything was just plain set out...It'd be boring."

((Either works. I'm not really picky. Flutter'll be by basically every day at breakfast so she still has to come in xD And...Well, Saya and Oliver basically see each other twenty/four seven it seems like xD))

"You make sure to watch yourself, Joey." Sayaku replied, laughing and waving off the bow. "You better not work too hard or we'll have to worry about ya." When Joey was gone, he gave Oliver a grin, patting his back before letting go of him. "If it's even possible for Joey to overwork. He's like a boundless bubble of energy or something. I wonder if he's part of that old myth my mom told me...Oh well. Let's get goin'."

"Ah, it's an old one from my village so there's no doubt you'd have not heard of it. My sister barely knows it since she grew up outside the village. Then again, she doesn't have any interest in such things anyway." He let out a sigh, smiling. "Our village focuses on two astral beings. Everyone on the planet knows them but not in the same essense we do. To us, the sun and moon are sort of like gods. It's all black and white- good and bad. They say, in our village, that once every hundred years or so, the sun and moon each choose a human to be their "helper". Sort of like a...priest or priestess, but more divine? I don't really know how to explain it. But...I assume that the Sun's Helper would be at least that full of energy, y'know?"

"What's an energizer bunny?" He didn't know that many things regarding batteries yet- while he knew of them, he barely knew a thing about the brands and tended to push it off. Thus, the idea of a bunny energizing wasn't making sense in his head. "I mean, I know some rabbits are energetic but some just seem so dang depressed..."

"Explains why I never heard of it. I don't watch television much, thus don't know much from commercials. TV is my sister's thing. She watches it constantly." Thinking about it, he looked at Oliver curiously. "Do you watch TV a lot, Olive? They say it rots your brain, but I hear it can also be pretty educational."

"Have you ever felt like you lived in a television program?" Sayaku had a curious grin on his face, his arms behind his head. "As a kid, my sister would tell me about all sorts of stuff she saw, and whenever she did...I could always relate to it somehow. So at one point I wondered if the village....if we were secretly being stalked by cameras."

"I think a lot of people do that as kids. I used to play prince with the other kids in the village. We'd all take turns being the king, queen, prince and princesses and stuff. And knights. I think my favorite was usually the knight..." He laughed a bit. "I'm not much of a fighter, but I don't feel I'd fit in as a royal. But a servant is just fine too."

"Please don't. It's rather bothersome when people do. I don't think I could handle it for very long." He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head. "As I said, I usually played the knight and either way I haven't played such games since I was six. I tend to just stick with Saya as a nickname."

((Sorry for the late reply. And...Either way is fine. I took a while because of writers block but I should be okay now. Sorry it took so darn long...))

"I think most of what you say sounds cute," He confessed. However, it sounded corny as he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Then again, I'm biased. To me the reason it'd be cute is you. So..." His laughter continued, though it was clear it was just to try to seem less odd.

"If you mean because you're dressed as a gal right now, it isn't always considered odd." Sayaku noted, chuckling. "I've seen plays about guys who were forced into girl's clothing by their mothers anyway. While I can't relate to that, it does help put into perspective the fact that it isn't all that strange. Though I'll admit, I feel strange in this stuff too. I don't see how a servant could work in these types of clothes.."

"I suppose I'll count myself lucky that I only have one sister, whom never had an interest in playing dress up." Sayaku chuckled, smiling a bit. "Though I've never worn these clothes- I've only seen 'em once on royalty, 'cause my sister managed to make nice with the king's son...Though she had no idea who he was. Neither did I when the kid came over for dinner... I was pretty embarrassed when I found out."

"He didn't really notice me. That guy had a major crush on my sister for some reason, so most of his time over he spent talking to or about her. To be honest, it sort of annoyed me- but it annoyed her even more." He laughed nervously, adding, "He was a nice guy overall...But I think he wasn't really paying enough attention to how his constant talking effected the rest of us and our meal. But he was pretty polite otherwise. Even though what we ate was very different from what he was used to and far less fancy, he was very courteous about the meal. He said it was amazing, which made me wonder what the hell they actually eat in that castle. Mom's cooking is really good though- she's one of the best in the village. But...That meal was really bland. Beside's Flute's food, anyway."

"I guess you have a point there. But somehow I think he was also trying to impress my sister..." He laughed a bit nervously. "Ah well. It was hard to tell at first anyway that he was a royal."

Olivia smiled and sat down on Saya's bed, removing her shoes and then lying back, still in her dress. "Do you want to change first?" She asked him, staring at the underside of her bed. She wondered if the fact that she never dressed around him seemed odd. She assumed most guys didn't care about getting dressed with other guys in the room, since she didn't care about dressing with other girls in the room. Of course now that they were dating she had an excuses, didn't she?

((sorry about being gone so long, my laptop charger broke))

"Wouldn't it be simpler if I change in the bathroom while you change out here? This way there's no need to worry about who goes first." He grinned- he had never found it strange not to change in the same room. In fact, he preferred it. Sayaku was fairly anxious when it came to his own body- while he was muscular and had a fair build, he did have some femininity to his appearance, and the scars on his back from his past problems weren't things he wanted seen, either. "Let me just get my normal clothes." He went to where his clothes were stored, pulling out a pair of overalls and a t-shirt- something he hadn't worn lately. Then, he went to the bathroom door. "Take your time and knock when you're done, so I know I can come out. Okay?"

"Alright. I'll be out in a bit." He was almost finished, but Sayaku was a fairly slow dresser for a boy. However, he wasn't overly slow either. It was just hard for him to put on the overalls, sometimes- the clasps sometimes fought with him. When done, he opened the door, letting out a sigh. "Sorry about that. After a while, the clasps on overalls do get harder to work with..."
