Re: Kotomi Ichinose AU | Clannad

"None taken," replied Jack, having met Kotomi's long-sided glance and her lingering hand on her rifle. "Some of us have had hard lives. But this is a place where you can relax. This is a world of refuge outside the social structure of your own world."

He gestured to his food. "You should try to eat, and forget about your troubles if only for a while."

Kotomi slowly turned back to face her own table, wordlessly inviting him to eat on her table. For an introvert having lived in a highly gregarious society, suddenly being alone and without books was a change she took time getting used to.

She lifted another small taco to bite, crunching the cooked mincemeat and greens bathed in spices, munching it with satisfaction. As she chewed as demurely as those meals allowed, she reminded herself to invite companions to eat from this place.

"I know," Kotomi said, "it just that the solar system I came from is not a peaceful one. It is imperative to keep one's guard in there, especially in the outer colonies."

Cities where hearing gunshots in the distance was not all that strange.

She turned her eyes up to Jack, face looking young in spite of her long purple hair and bobbles with pigtails, and pushed the table to share the meal with him.

"Do you want some?"

[au_yusei]

Jack smiled, and shook his head as he indicated his own generous plate. "It's all right, I'm not hurting for food right now. The master has been more than generous with his portions."

Which was true, no one was hurting for portions, and considering how generous the food was, it was not surprising that everyone was going to be sated when they were finished."

"Jack Atlas. I come from the Duel Dimension."

[dandeliongirl]

A part of Kotomi wished to ask for at least half of what Jack had. Kotomi had given herself the purpose to learn international cuisines for long-distance deployments, and while Kotomi liked meat, sometimes she believed the people of Aztlán ate too much meat.

She finished biting her taco down, munching on it and then wiping her lips, before smiling to Jack, "my name is Kotomi Ichinose. I am from Shinfuji, but I work as a registered mercenary in the worlds owned by the Alliance of Sharpstone. My world has a lot of hispanic descendants in contrast to japanese or turkish ones."

"A pleasure to meet you Kotomi. I hope we can meet again in such pleasant circumstances." said Jack as he raised his glass in salute.

"It seems this cafe focuses on western food, which is its specialty. I'm glad for the change. Sometimes, the eastern quality of the City is a little too much at times. The City is a former divided class dimension, with extremes of the rich and poor. Tops and Commons."

[dandeliongirl]

"Likewise, Mr. Atlas."

She half-lifted her mug, then drove it to her lips, drinking the beer at a measured pace. An asian flush was still absent from her features, at this point perhaps revealing the tiny level of genetic engineering she had from her family.

"I do like western food. But it is comforting at times to eat food of our own culture. I find myself stuck between two worlds sometimes."

[au_yusei]

"I understand that completely." said Jack thoughtfully as he nipped at his food. "My family is half-Scottish distantly at least. The Atlas Family however, hasn't been in Scotland for many years though, not since the City became the biggest area for opulence in the Eastern World."

Kotomi blinks, then looks down. She reveals a tablet from her lap, which displays the pages of a long book regarding the history of Earthern oriental cultures before the mass exodus. Her finger pokes around the tablet until it displays medieval western european history, to then select scottish history.

"I visited Earth when I was a little girl. I read it used to be a greatly populated world long ago," Kotomi then smiles, "there is something fascinating about knowing where you come from, even coming from a society so focused on the present."

[au_yusei]

"Your world decided to exodus Earth a while ago I take it," said Jack. It was a curious thing on how history diverged depending on how the worlds developed, and he was interested to see how things changed.
