[emulates]

Yes, I have taken great pains to learn from my father, and from others that he knows.

[For the moment he doesn't take any steps to approach her, just in case, though there's something about the way that she says that... He pauses for a moment, looking slightly bewildered.]

Say what? I-I'm sorry, have I said something to offend you? [He hoped not. That would certainly be getting off on the wrong foot.]

[koneko_chan]

From your father? [It must be nice to learn fighting skills from your father. Not that she should complain, after all, she had a father-like figure who taught her everything she knew.

She waves it off hastily when she hears his question. So he really wasn't scared of her. She looks to the ground a bit sheepishly.]

It's just that most people are scared of our ears and run away when we speak up to them.

[emulates]

Yes. My father is known as the God of War, so there's much that I can learn from him. Even now, I still wish to know everything.

[Her response intrigues him, but at first he isn't sure how to address it. In all honesty, he hadn't thought twice about her appearance, save that she was rather beautiful. The ears were easy to explain as simply being a product of this world, in its own way - did any of them truly fit in?]

I have never felt as though I have anything to fear from you.

[koneko_chan]

[The God of War? That sounded like he was a very skilled man indeed. No wonder the young man in front of her looked pretty strong.]

Then you must be really skilled yourself. [That might be interesting for a spar! Though his reply to her second questions makes her chuckle a bit.]

Thank you. It's always a bit of a pity if people run away from us. To be honest, you remind me of a friend of mine.

[emulates]

Ah, well I'm definitely not as good as he is. [Still, Guan Suo is smiling.] But I like to think that I've picked up a thing or two. If you're up for it, perhaps we could spar sometime.

[His look turns a little more thoughtful at her next words.] I don't understand why they'd want to run away from you at all, but people are pretty strange, I guess. And really? That's a good thing, I hope.

[koneko_chan]

[She smiles happily at that.] Anytime! I always thought training together is more useful than training alone.

You really sound like Zhao Yun. [It was really nice to know there were other people who thought this way, it was always so rare.]

[emulates]

I think so, too - it helps you to pick up on what you need to improve upon more easily. Right?

Z-Zhao Yun? [Wow, that was a pretty huge compliment. His face flushes a little.] Being compared to a legend like him is pretty impressive...

[koneko_chan]

Yes, exactly. I wouldn't mind to spare right now. [She looks down a bit sheepishly.] If you have your weapons with you, that is...

Oh, so you know him? [Her face lits up.] Though yeah, you do remind me of him... I am glad you view it as a compliment.

[emulates]

Oh, I do - I always carry my weapons with me. Though I'm not exactly sure that you'd consider them normal. [He grins sheepishly.] We can make do, right?

Yes, he serves the same lord as me. I don't think I could see it as anything but a compliment.

[koneko_chan]

[That caught her interest. What kind of weapon would that be?] We can. I'm interested in your style. [She gets a better grip on her own weapon.]

The same lord? So you serve under Lord Gonsung Zan?

[emulates]

[Hmm, this is the first indication that they might be talking about a different man. But is it possible?]

No, he left his service, and now serves beneath Lord Liu Bei.

[koneko_chan]

L-Liu Bei?! He's coming to join us?[She raises a hand to cover her mouth? Was that possible? She knew that Zhao Yun and Liu Bei got well along and he seemed to enjoy the time he spent with them, but leaving Gonsung Zan?]

[emulates]

[A nod, then.]

It took a while to convince him, since he was so loyal to his lord. But in the end, he wanted to be with Lord Liu Bei.

[koneko_chan]

He wanted to be with Liu Bei... [She wasn't sure if she should be happy, but she was, a bit.]

Then, you are serving Liu Bei as well? I don't think I've seen you around.

[emulates]

I didn't join Shu until recently - I followed my father into battle, and that's why I was there. [And that hadn't turned out so well, but he won't say that.]

My name is Guan Suo- it's a pleasure to meet you. [Though speaking of fathers...]

[koneko_chan]

I see... [A complete newbie, but still - wouldn't they realize when a human was joining them... though what was that about Shu? Perhaps it was better not to ask too much for now.]

Guan Suo? [She smiles. That they even shared a name... perhaps he was related to Guan Ding?]

It's nice to meet you, Guan Suo. My name is Guan Yu.

[emulates]

[--wait

wait

what.]

G-Guan Yu? But that's-- [oops, deep breath. his face has lost all its colour.] Forgive me, my lady, but that is the name of my father.

[koneko_chan]

Ehhhh?! [Alright, this came entirely unexpected - she was a bit shocked, to be precise. She knew that the other guys she was hanging out with didn't neccessarily view her as a girl at times, but sharing a man's name...]

How is that...? Wait, you said he was serving Liu Bei, right? Is he... close to him?

[emulates]

Yes. My father and Lord Zhang Fei are sworn brothers of Lord Liu Bei. They couldn't be closer.

[all of a sudden this seemed so surreal.]

[koneko_chan]

Eh? [She raised a hand in front of her mouth. She always thought of those two as brothers. Why was that so similar? How could that be?]

I think of them like my brothers... how is that possible?

[emulates]

Perhaps... if people have come here from different worlds, could there be... multiples?

[It was a possibility, he supposed, except it seemed almost too hard to believe.]

[koneko_chan]

Multiple words with the same people? [It sounded ridiculous, but this situation was kind of ridiculous already.]

D-does that make you... [Her son from another world? She blushed slightly.]

[emulates]

I guess... I'm your son from another world.

[It feels so weird to say that.]

[koneko_chan]

[It didn't only feel like it, it was weird. She was 15 right now... she had not really thought about getting kids yet.]

D-does that make me your mother? Or your father?

[emulates]

I... [That makes him smile a little bit.] I guess I haven't thought about it. I don't want to make you uncomfortable, though.
