Lotte World is fun. It's an amusement park in Seoul.

[Honestly, he finds it incredibly overwhelming sometimes to be there, and it's a lot to take in, but he still definitely likes it.]

Fighting for what you believe in isn't bad.

[He smiles.]

Oh yeah? Do you have a favorite ride?

[She will go on roller coasters for a thrill, although it's a poor substitute for some things.]

That's what I like to think. [Her smile falters.] I guess it depends on what you believe in.

I like the haunted house. I guess that's not a ride... there's a roller coaster called French Revolution that's pretty fun.

[He frowns a little when he notices that she isn't smiling anymore, though.]

Something wrong?

I love haunted houses! [She covers her mouth in excitement.] Is it really scary? And why do they call that rollercoaster the French Revolution? Are there guillotines?

[She tries to shrug, casually.]

It's nothing. There's just a lot of hypocrisy out there, you know? It's all well and good to take a stand until it's for something really unpopular. Then it's not cool anymore. I guess that's probably why I don't have a lot of friends.

[He laughs.]

There's no guillotines. I don't know why they called it that, probably just because it sounds cool.

[That was the point of rollercoasters right? To sound cool?]

I know what you're saying about hypocrisy— people I used to call friends turned on me pretty fast after I did something they disagreed with.

[Like ... refusing to eat human flesh and deciding to become human, but. You know. His gumiho friends hadn't been kind to him.]

Oh, damn. There should be guillotines. You should write them a letter.

[Like they'd be inclined to listen to that.

She relaxes, inching closer to him, like the bad idea it probably is for a girl to want to cuddle with a guy she just met who used to be a flesh-eating monster. She's known arguably worse people.]

Sounds like you and I might have a lot in common.

We might.

[For a moment, his tone almost turns seductive, until he remembers himself and more importantly that he doesn't even have to force himself to eat human flesh anymore.]

I bet we're pretty different, though.

[It's not meant to burst her bubble or anything. He just had a feeling that they had a really different set of experiences.]

[She holds his gaze a long moment, then her expression flickers as his demeanor changes. She licks her lips and nudges closer, hoping to get his attention back.]

I like people who are different from me. I like learning new things... about new places.

Mmm? Well, I can tell you more about Korea, if you want.

[He could talk about food, or about mountains, or a whole bunch of things. Although he still didn't know all that much about food, honestly.]

[She nods eagerly, watching him with wide green eyes.]

Please.

What do you want to know?

[He didn't want to just talk her ear off about something boring...]

Where did you grow up? What was it like there?

[He pauses. He didn't ... exactly grow up anywhere that would make sense, considering he was really over 300 years old.

So he lies. He used to do it all the time, so why not now?]

Outside of Seoul. There wasn't really all that much that was interesting about it though ... I spent most of my time wishing that we lived in the city instead, so I never really appreciated where I grew up all that much.

[It was a lie he told people in his dance company, also.]

[She reaches his side as he talks, and tentatively rests her head on his shoulder.]

Seoul's the capital, isn't it? Did you go there much?

[She snorts with laughter.]

Sounds like me. I lived in a small town by the beach... and I was always wanting to be somewhere else.

[He doesn't shrug her off or anything, but he doesn't seem to relax, either.]

Sometimes. I went to university in Seoul, eventually, but I went a few times when I was younger too.

Did you manage to go somewhere else?

[This feels nice to her, and she would like to get him to relax. They're here, after all, all cozy in this fort. She reaches up, tracing his jaw with her finger.]

Oh yeah? What did you study in school?

[She sighs a little at his question, preferring to stay quiet and listen to the beating of his heart, now that her ear is so near. She can remember snippets of a happier time, although it feels so fleeting now, like a wistful dream.]

I did, for awhile. But it didn't last. I've started to feel foolish, for thinking it ever could.

[He lets her trace his jaw without protest. He's still used to physical contact, after all, and even people wanting to be in physical contact with him. And it wasn't like he was actually dangerous anymore.]

I studied dance.

[Another lie.]

Do you not want to talk about it?

Dance! What kind of dance?

[Her hand wanders past his ear, brushing her fingers through his hair.]

I – no. Not really. It's not worth dwelling on. It's all gone now, anyway. All the people I knew, the places we went...

[She shrugs.]

I spent so much time mourning the past. Sometimes I just want to move forward, enjoy the moment. [Bites her lip.] Like this one.

[He smiles a little.]

Ballet.

[Not exactly a lie.]

You like talking to me that much, huh?

[She gasps, pressing a hand to her mouth to stifle a giggle.]

No! [The lame come-on follow up is just too obvious, but she can't help herself.] You must be so flexible.

[She catches his gaze, swallowing her laughter. After a moment, she impulsively leans forward and kisses him on the lips. Then she pulls back, blushing.]

...I didn't say we have to spend the whole time talking.

... Ah.

[He smiles a little at her, in a friendly way. It wasn't exactly what he was expecting, and he wasn't entirely sure how he felt about it, either. But he was willing to roll with it, up to a point. She seemed nice enough, after all. He wasn't in the business of actively hurting people ... anymore.]

Are you sure that's what you want?

Of course I do.

[She gives him a pointed look.]

I don't crawl into cozy pillow forts with every boy I meet, you know. ...Isn't it what you want?

[In her experience, most guys all want one thing. She kisses him again, drawing it out, hoping he'll reciprocate.]

[He kisses her back before responding, although it's not that deep of a kiss.]

Maybe it is.

[He kisses her again, lightly.]

You don't really know me, though.

I'm getting to know you right now, aren't I?

[She returns the kiss, clearly feeling hungrier about this than he is. So much so that she tries to climb on top of him.]

[ooc: LMAO, I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING. I AM SO SORRY. She's very needy!]

Whoa—

[He doesn't push her off— that would be mean, and he doesn't dislike her. Instead he reaches his arms to hold her— gently, delicately. Not exactly intimately, even though this situation sort of makes it intimate.]

I'm just— saying that maybe you should be more careful?

[OOC: It's totally fine!! I laughed when I got this tag gngfdnk.]
