@The ghost in black@The SlendermanInitially suspicious of Seto's question -she'd heard of orphans being targeted for scientific experiments knowing no one of importance would miss them- she noticed a poorly disguised pained expression on his face. Perhaps he was just looking for kindred spirits after all. Her face softened, though she did not feel empathy. She was somewhat surprised to find out Kouh was an orphan herself. She seemed in too good a condition at such a young age. Perhaps she had someone else taking care of her. A sibling, maybe.
"Same here, probably..." she said nonchalantly after a while of debating to herself whether she ought to lie or not. It may be in her advantage to tell the truth, for once.
JG felt a mixture of astonishment and admiration as she watched Kouh play with a hoop blade. She'd never seen anything like it before. At least not used as a weapon. Kouh seemed to be adept at using it, and JG wondered if she was more experienced with the toy or bladed version.
Finally, her eyes rested on the object of her desire. A stand displaying 3 katanas, varying from 39" to 21" in length. Her eyes gleamed as she picked them up, one by one, starting with the longest. This one was too long and too heavy for a girl of her size; the length would trip her up when performing acrobatics, and the weight would bring her centre of gravity off balance. She compared the two shorter ones. Whilst the shortest one was most convenient to carry, it would be of little aid towards an opponent with a long sword. It was barely longer than the dagger that Rafael had given her. The 31" sword was somewhere in the middle, with a 21" blade that would hold its ground against most western swords, but allow her a reasonable range of movements. She took the 31" katana and balanced it in upturned palms of her hand, then turned to face Seto.
"May I have this one?" she asked, eyes wide and hopeful.
