our boy
pheraelionâ:
   oh.Â
  well, thatâs awkward. sheâd â heâd? theyâd? â had you entirely convinced. your hand rises to scratch your cheek sheepishly. you have the good grace to look apologetic, wanting to point out that their outfit is very convincingâ the wig especially. anyone could make the mistake, and that itâs rather rude to get so huffy over an assumption⊠however, you hold your tongue. itâd probably be a bad idea to make enemies with your housemates right off the batâ or at all, really.Â
âgot it,â you reply with a nod, hoping to placate themâ they still havenât given you their name yet, you realize. âiâll not make the mistake again, my apologies. i do quite like your clothes, though. iâve never seen anything like them before! the design is very cute.â
  youâre not sure if the compliment is appropriate given the confusion, but itâs at least sincere. they do look very cute, even without the wigâ and while fatherâs words had been in relation to dragons, heâd always stressed to you the importance of being able to accept and understand people from all walks of life. if they wish to dress femininely, youâve no quarrel with it. the attitude, however⊠hm.Â
  perhaps theyâre new here, too, and as confused as you are. you suppose you couldnât blame them for being snippy, in that caseâŠ
âmight i join you, or should i go? i wouldnât want to be a bother, especially if youâre using the picture-box right now.âÂ
Ugh, why did this have to be so awkward. Why did they have to have roommates in the first place. Theyâd never asked for this.
âNah, you can join me. Iâm not really watching it.â They roll their eyes. âAnd itâs called a television, not a picture-box. Were you raised in a barn?â
They look at the television, which has landed on a cartoon.
âNameâs Shuuji, by the way. Shuuji Misora. My friends call me Misora-san.â
