N-no, it's fine, I can handle it! [She glares at the sphere, which was sparking a little from the impact. She walks over to it angrily, hitting it again with the hairdryer she found herself holding it, sending it slamming against some shelving, and then tossing the hair dryer after it, hard.]

[shortestfuse]

[ He hears a crash and reaches her in time to see the monster crumple under falling shelving.

And he pretty much stands there speechless.

She's... strong. ]

[meilihua]

[Dusting off her hands] Well, that should take care of you. [She hasn't seen Shizuo yet.] Stupid weird ball thing...

1/2

[shortestfuse]

...

2/2

[shortestfuse]

Are you uh...

Okay?

[meilihua]

Ah-! [Dude, Shizuo, don't scare her like that-]

[shortestfuse]

Sorry. [ Shizuo replies sheepishly, rubbing his neck. ] I didn't wanna scare ya.

You took care of that guy... pretty fast. You're... alright, then?

[meilihua]

Y-yeah, it looks like it's um [well, it's sparking oddly, machines don't do that when they're working properly, right?] ...taken care of.

I'm okay, it just surprised me.

[shortestfuse]

That was. Real cool. Did you always...

You're strong like that all the time?

[meilihua]

Ah...well... [Wow, that was so unladylike!!] I guess?

[Muttered] I still don't like killing bugs.

[shortestfuse]

... You don't have any problem with it or anything?

[ He sniffs, amused. ] Bugs always mind their own business.

[meilihua]

H-huh? A...problem? [Well, maybe the fact that it looks really uncute...] Not really...?

[A quick laugh, more out of tension than anything else] Yeah, I guess mostly they do.

[shortestfuse]

... [ Shizuo is very impressed. ] I'm like you, then. Ah, well you seem to have more control.

[meilihua]

Eh...well... I mean. It's kind of part of being a country... And with all my brothers I kind of have to learn how to hold my own, you know?

[shortestfuse]

I forget sometimes that you're a country. You seem like a person to me.

[meilihua]

I'm a person too! More, really, I guess, when I'm here...

[shortestfuse]

It seems tough to be Taiwan when you can't be in Taiwan. I mean, if that's how it works.

[meilihua]

Y-yes! [Wow, Shizuo, so wise...?] That's exactly it! It's been so hard to figure out how to put it into words...

[shortestfuse]

[ These two...

He smiles. ]

Ah, well, it's good to have you here sorta.

I hear Tai- you're nice... Taiwan's nice. Do I refer to... you or the place...

[meilihua]

I-i'm fine with it if you say both...

[shortestfuse]

Okay then. [ He hoists his big bag of food up. ] Let's ditch this place.

[meilihua]

[Taiwan's bag of supplies is quite a bit smaller, but she does the same, walking close enough to Shizuo to bump against him completely accidentally] Sounds good.

[shortestfuse]

Maybe we should- [ The bump makes him start a little, wondering if it was his fault or if he hurt her, but a look to the side where she's walking completely fine makes him sigh. ] Leave the mall. But if you gotta place you wanna go...

[meilihua]

Yeah, let's bring all this stuff back to everyone else!

[shortestfuse]

[ Uuuuu, she's so cute. He looks away and nods, heading in the direction of the exit. ] Sounds good to me. Bet they're hungry.
