3rd Moon

[Outside near the forest]

[Michiko didn't understand why the forest was forbidden, but she did have that curiosity of wanting to go there no matter what happened. But she knew she could go alone if it was dangerous, but she had never really asked for help before either. She was use to doing in alone, or with the pack she was always with.

So as she pondered she wondered around until she found herself standing at the edge of the forest looking in. She really wanted to see the plants in there so badly. So she couldn't help but linger.]

[Around]

[Knowing full well that she needed help, she found herself looking for students, any students and walked up to them.]

Excuse me... Can I ask you a question?

[ Perhaps it's bad luck, perhaps it's the best luck. Regardless, Tamaki immediately turns his attention to the girl approaching him and offers a warm smile, friendly and welcoming as he nods in greeting. ]

But of course, my lovely lady. In what way can I help you today?

[Considering she was use to being called that, she had no idea how to react. Either she was going to say what she wanted to ask.]

I was wondering if you knew anything about the forest on the school grounds?

But of course! A magical wood home to many magical creatures, forbidden to us as it is ordinarily too dangerous for any lone student to be safe! It has such a sense of mystery, for I've never once seen into it beyond the first trees.

[ Is he being dramatic? Probably. Tamaki isn't exactly one for subtleties. He offers a smile to Michiko after a beat, fully focusing his attention on her. ]

I can assure you that you are not in any danger. If you were, I would lay down my life to make sure you remain unharmed.

[ The worst part is that he's speaking every single word with complete sincerity. ]

I don't think it's that dangerous.

[She had been in there, sure. But not as the way she was now. But she knew she shouldn't speak of what she was so openly. She doesn't get the charm at all and just put it down to being friendly.]

I don't feel like I am in danger because of it, but thank you very much.

It would not simply be the dangers of the forest, but any danger whatsoever. However, it is true that it poses no threat so long as you do not enter it, or so I have heard.

[ He bows at the waist then, offering his hand for her to place hers in if she chose to. ]

Forgive me, my princess, for I haven't even introduced myself properly. My name is Tamaki Suoh, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[She guessed they didn't know either what was within the forest itself. But she tilted her head slightly. That... was an interesting way of introducing ones self. She figured she was meant to take his hand or something. So she does what she think she was meant to, unsure as to it's purpose.]

My name is Michiko. it's nice to meet you.

[ At first he says nothing, instead remaining bowed and taking her hand in his. He kisses the back of it then, a delicate touch before letting to and straightening. ]

You honour me with your name, Michiko. I'll be sure to treasure it with love and reverence.

It's... just a name.

[She really isn't getting it right away. But she smiled never the less.]

I'm not sure it needed quite a reaction like that.

It is not just a name, it's your name. That's why it's so special to me.

You... don't make a lot of sense.

[Why was it special? If she could understand she wondered if she could react better.]

[ A part of him can't help thinking that Michiko is really quite cute, and without much thought behind he he conjures a rose, offering it to her immediately. ]

I'm simply expressing how I feel around you, though I'm afraid mere words can't express the depths of the emotion you bring out of me.

[Michiko looked at the rose for the moment, guessing he used magic in order to do that. But it was at least enough to make her smile a little bit as she took it. It was beautiful.]

Thank you, the rose is very beautiful. Though I always find it a shame when they die. [That's why she was already wondering she could use it for anything when that was to happen, something that might help.]

It really is a shame, or their beauty is fleeting. Still, their impression is eternal, and they consequently are remembered for it for all time.

Like all flowers are remembered. I mean flowers have meanings after all right?

That's right, Princess Michiko.

[ He's smiling once more, absently wondering if Michiko knows what the red rose he's given her means. It really is from the heart, after all... ]

[She nodded slightly, sure she didn't know the meanings yet but she did enjoy learning about them. But living in nature like she had, gave her the appreciation no matter what.]

I should really get moving. Maybe even going to the forest.

Are you that curious about the forest?

[ That's surprising to him, and he straightens a bit and looks her over. ]

I know the groundskeeper and care of magical creatures professors have to go in there sometimes, but I wonder why you'd want to go in there in the first place.

Because the forest is something I am use to. I guess I feel comfortable. Is that really strange?

[She tilted her head slightly.]

No, I suppose not. But it's still dangerous, considering the creatures there, so it worries me regardless.

It... worries you?

[She couldn't help but look puzzled.]

Of course. Who wouldn't be worried about someone they care about going off into somewhere dangerous?

I don't think it's as dangerous as people make it out to be. I mean, I've been there before, but nothing bad happened.

You have!?

[ Whoops there went his composure. ]

Wh-wh-wh-why would you!?

[She really didn't see it as a bad thing. Sure it was against the rules, but it wasn't dangerous.]

I wanted to see what was there. Nothing hurt me, nothing attacked me either. Everything was okay.

B-But there are giants and acromantulas and hippogriffs and a great deal many other magical creatures that would kill people without a second thought! Just how in the world could you remain safe in there!?
