SailorMoon — Roleplayer Guild

Hanami was no stranger to the looks of fear and curiosity the villagers shot to the group when they arrived. It was almost the same way the people in her village treated the most innocent looking of outsiders, so it was obvious that a group with an immodestly dressed red-headed woman, a visible half-demon, and one armed warrior lugging a giant sword around wouldn't sit too well with these people. They would definitely have to prove to them they were no threat to the village, but so far that plan wasn't looking too good with Mizuki and Yuki just...being themselves. She watched the old lady whack Mizuki and take the children away, and turned her attention to Yuki threatening the granny...?! There was certainly no need to be violent - It was not as if the villagers knew or would even believe that was the Princess. She found herself expecting more tact from the woman that had only been insulting their efforts yesterday.

"Mizuki-san, Mizuki-san..." She laughed nervously as she placed her hands on the taller, silver-haired girls shoulders. "I know you were just trying to help, but..." Hanami looked thoughtful for a moment, racking her brain for a way to say this without hurting Mizuki's feelings even more. "These people frighten very easily, and so we must show them that different does not always mean bad." She said softly to her, feeling pleased that she managed to say her piece without lecturing or placing the blame on her. She knew Mizuki was a smart girl, just naive from being sheltered all of her life. Hanami wasn't so different from Mizuki really, most of her time was spent in the shrine and demon attacks on their village were pretty rare. This was the furthest she had ever been outside of her village.

"We should not agitate these villagers anymore. If we hope to stay here, we should be more kind in our approach and show them they have nothing to fear." Hanami said this to no one in particular, but clearly she was addressing the women she traveled with. Choosing to lead by example, she walked away from the group. She was still within sight of her comrades, only a few feet away but now standing where the granny that whacked Mizuki was, and cutting in front of Yuki.

"Obaa-sa-" The Granny interrupted Hanami's greeting...

"Miko-san, you bring upon us a dark omen!!! Why do you travel with such demons?" She cried, grabbing Hanami's hands and staring into her eyes with a horrified look.

"Obaa-san, I assure you. She is only a pet... my darling pet fox... spirit!" She said confidently. Hanami gingerly caressed the old woman's weathered hands, and offered her most reassuring smile. She could see the granny loosening up, and the worry fading from her tired eyes with each moment she looked at the miko. How could she resist such a pure and honest maiden? It wasn't like Hanami was lying either, Mizuki definitely had some spirit inside of her. She could tell that much.

"Oh... Well, Okay, Miko-san. I believe no lies would fall from a servant such as yourself." The granny let go of Hanami's hands, and looked at Mizuki again apprehensively before heading on her way.

"See, things can be solved without being violent." Hanami said, once again to no one in particular, but she did hope Yuki would rethink her course of action from now on.
