[ That first week of June. ]

[ If you are a teenager or younger, regardless of whether or not this young woman has met you, she's looking incredibly upset the minute she gets a good look at you. This is a prelude to her hurrying over, gaze anxious, as she looks you over and-- ]

This is... definitely going to be a weird question, but are you actually hurt?

[ SHE MIGHT LOOK LIKE SHE'S ABOUT TO CRY. ]

[ Alternatively, she can be spotted making a much slower way around the town. Slower because she's apparently decided to use her necktie as a blindfold, and even Maya isn't about to go sprinting about an area where she can't see.

It won't stop her from bumping into someone, or-- ]

Whoops! Sorry!!

[ A tree. Or the well. Or literally anything else, but she doesn't seem keen to take that blindfold off? Wonder why???? ]

... So the town thinks that my embarrassment over wearing these pants is equal to the feeling you get when you see hurt kids? I'm actually offended.

[ he's not that shallow!! he has a deep heart full of compassion and capacity for caring... but, apparently, his dignity and desire to look good when he's out and about are more outstanding characteristics. Lupin might need to rethink his lifestyle. ]

I think it's just that I don't really feel embarrassment. I guess the town just had to try extra hard with figuring out what would bother me-- even though I'm sure if this was happening to you, you'd have just as hard a time with it.

[ It's hard to feel victorious over this when it's making her miserable, but Lupin definitely seems offended, so-- placating it is. ]

... I'm sorry.

[heartsteals]

[ oops, this isn't what he wanted. He immediately lifts up his hands in a show of defeat, shaking his head. ]

Please, Maya - I don't want an apology. It's not that serious. Besides, I'm the one who should be taking care of you right now.

[scooptimistic]

Old habits die hard.

[ with a tired smile. ]

I've been called the big sister type before, so getting taken care of is a little strange for me.

[heartsteals]

All right, then. How old are you?

[scooptimistic]

Twenty-three. Asking a lady's age, though...

[ no, she doesn't mind. ]

[heartsteals]

Twenty-four! I'm in my rights to take care of you. No complaining.

[ he grins, ignoring her age comment completely... don't call him out when he slips up on being a gentleman. ]

[scooptimistic]

... What a way to claim a victory...

[ but she has to allow it. ]

[heartsteals]

Heh heh.

[ he's not ashamed of his victory, even if it's only by one year. ]

Let's see... Why don't we do something fun to take your mind off of all that? Mine, too, of course.

[ but hers is more serious. ]

[scooptimistic]

I think that sounds like a great idea.

[ fervently-- quietly, but still. ]
