Ah, okay.

[Asemu takes a closer look at the girl he's speaking to. She certainly looks like she's school-age, but not much younger than himself.]

Just thought I'd check. Sometimes we get curious civilians, but it never hurts to check, you know?

So, this project...anything I could help with?

[wantedtolive]

Of course. Though I would not worry. You are well defended, and that includes against intruders.

[As to the latter, she shakes her head.]

Unless you have a camera.

[second_destiny]

[That gets Asemu to smile. He knows himself where the weaknesses in security lie for their base, and it's possible for someone to get in and do damage under the right set of circumstances -- very unlikely, but still possible. But if nothing else, they're clearly giving the civilian population the right impression, and he believes in making sure they feel secure.]

Well, I have something that contains a camera. Does that help, or do you need something better?

[wantedtolive]

[An interesting turn of events, this.

But she does smile easily in response, even if it's a standard gesture, for her. Geniune smiles are harder to come by.]

It should help quite a lot, sir.

[second_destiny]

All right!

--Oh, but you don't need to call me sir. Just Asemu is fine.

[Grinning, Asemu reaches into his pocket and pulls out an odd-looking device. He presses a button, taps some icons on the screen, and the screen gives way to a view of the concrete below his feet. He raises it up, and the view shifts to the fence across the street.]

Okay! What do you need a photo of?

[wantedtolive]

If that's alright. [She smiles in affirmation.] Asemu-san it is, then. I am Tomoe Mami. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[If she's surprised by the device, she doesn't show it, only blinking as she takes it in and watches some of its functions. If anything, it only highlights her prior concern for the fact there was something in the base itself, and all the more reason to deal with it.]

Anything I would be allowed to take a photo of. Mostly, the entrance and its surrounding walls.

[second_destiny]

Thanks. Same here.

Entrance and the walls? Should be okay, especially if I'm with you. No one would be worried to see a soldier taking photos of his own base.

[That's not entirely true, though, since there are reports of traitors in the military. But no one would doubt the intentions of a member of the Asuno family.]

Okay, let's start here since we're already here.

[Asemu snaps a photo of the base entrance. He then offers it to Mami to get her approval.]

[wantedtolive]

I would imagine they wouldn't.

[The smile holds as she watches him, as well as the base. This one might be harder than she thought...

... not that she minds him helping her out. If she's going to have to plan? She'll have the pictures for it, even if the school project is fictional. She looks at the photo, eyes darting across it to recognise if she can identify areas well enough, and she can.]

Thank you very much, Asemu-san. That seems to be perfect.

[second_destiny]

Okay, great.

[He snaps the picture.]

Any other angles you need? Oh, and I guess I'll need some way to send these to you.

[wantedtolive]

No, that should do fine.

[Though there is a tug at that relaxed smile, perhaps of amusement.]

I would give you my number, Asemu-san, but we have only just met, after all. Yet, I suppose it cannot be avoided.

[second_destiny]

...Ah. Good point.

[That gets him to scratch his quickly-reddening cheek. He looks sheepish now.]

Sorry. Didn't mean it like that. But...um. Yeah, so.

[Uh-oh. There goes his cool.]

[wantedtolive]

[Mami continues to smile that same easy going smile, but it's a little more geniune. Filled with endearment.]

It's fine, Aseumu-san. I see no harm in giving you it for this.

[second_destiny]

[That helps him feel a little less embarrassed. There's still some color in his cheeks, but he's visibly more relaxed now.]

Okya. Thanks. Just one sec...

[A few more button presses.]

Okay. Ready whenever you are.

[wantedtolive]

[Mami nods once, before she gives him the memorised number, in double digits to give him time to input it into the device.]

I suppose I shall have yours when you send me the images. Thank you for all of your help in advance.

[second_destiny]

[And done. Asemu gets the number in and immediately sends the images over to her.]

Of course. It was no hassle at all. Anything else I can help with?

[The sun is beginning to set. Something Mami might want to keep in mind.]

[wantedtolive]

[Notice it she does. Usually aboutu the time most ordinary schoolgirls would be heading home to worried parents who would bother them about doing homework.

Well, she's not an ordinary schoolgirl. Secondly, she lives alone. But it's a pretense and one she'll happily keep to. There'll be more witch hunting tonight... but not here, it seems.]

Not that I can think of, unless you know of a quicker way than foot back into the city.

[second_destiny]

Oh, yeah, it's sunset now. You'll wanna get home before dark.

Tell you what -- I'll drive you home if you need a lift. I understand if you don't want to, though.

[After all, though Asemu may be in the military, they only just met less than half an hour ago.]
