Maisie

"We are all doing our best with what we have. I'm sure you're doing the best you can." She would never want to make someone feel that they were lesser just because they didn't have everything that she had. Wherever he was, she wouldn't care too much and continue on as normal with how she treated them.

Maddie would lean into the scratches and pant a bit; it wasn't often that Maisie let other people pet her at all, so this was a treat. When he complimented her name though, Maisie would feel herself curl up a bit in her seat. "O-Oh, thank you." Her hand would go to her cheek to see if she was blushing- she was, harder than she wanted to. Is this what a prince charming was like, or was it just a simple compliment? Clearing her throat, she would push in her chair a bit to make sure that she wouldn't be in the way if he were to sit across or beside her.

"M-Miss Independent?" She would stutter out her words at the mention of that name. "Um... I like music, and baked goods. I like going clothing shopping to touch the different materials. I was hoping one day to make a clothing brand that uses braille in the design." Her hands were still cupped around her drink, but they wiggled a bit in excitement. "I like when it's hot or cold out because I can feel it even if I can't see what it does to the world around me. I love animals too!" Realizing that she was ranting a bit, her hand would go up to her mouth with a gasp. "Sorry um, what about you-" she cut herself off as she tried to think of a good nickname for him. "-Mister Arch?"

Arc barely bit back a rather un-manly giggle at her reaction to Whisp's nickname for her, covering his mouth with his fist and struggling to remain silent for a moment before he recovered.
"That's really ingenious..." Arc commented as she mentioned wanting to incorporate brail in the design, more so speaking out loud without realizing it as he listened to her. Although she couldn't see it, he was looking at her with an impressed expression. He wasn't smart by any means, but it sounded like a really unique idea, and he was sure it would mean a lot to a lot of people.

He smirked and looked away for a second at her nickname but then leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling thoughtfully.
"Well, I like snow... and frosty mornings in fall. I spent most of my life in Canada, so I suppose that's just the maple syrup in my blood." He mused with a grin. "I love all animals, but I think my favorite are cats. I know most of the stray cats in Tokyo...and I may have given most of them nicknames..." He admitted, pausing and clearing his voice as he suddenly felt embarrassed. "I think it's cool you want to want to make a clothing brand."

"Thank you." The fact that he didn't laugh at her idea made her feel pretty good about herself. Perhaps she'd actually get it off the ground so that she could make it a reality! When you had even a little bit of support, but felt really nice. "Canada? That sounds nice. I've never been there myself." She imagined how snowy it was, especially with how she had felt it snow in Japan in the last new years that she had been here. Cold to the touch, soft and elegant.

"Stray cats? Hm, well, you could use that money to give them some good food, I bet. I'm sure they'd appreciate it." Maisie thought it was a good cause, at least. "If you ever need help, I don't mind. My house is pretty big so I was meaning to adopt some more animals!" She was sure that Maddie would love the company. "It's really good that you're giving them friends. I'm sure they're lonely and scared."

At the mention again of her clothing brand, she could feel herself get redder. "Ah, you really know how to make me blush. I am not used to someone making me feel so special." It was an awkward comment, followed up by her literally slurping at her almost empty drink. A few seconds passed in silence. "I-I guess since I feel I can't do much, I want to do something. I want to make a difference in the ways that I can."

Arc smiled and looked into his cup for a moment as he thought about his home overseas. His memory of the streets of his city at night covered in fresh snow and slush were nostalgic and calming. He could almost smell the wet asphalt and crisp air. He took a drink of his coffee and pushed back an odd feeling of homesickness before smiling at her again.
"It's really relaxing and I miss it sometimes, the air hurts you in winter... though. At least as north as I lived." He added with a chuckle.

"Yeah I'll have to get them something." He agreed, deciding to stop at the store on his way home and grab some wet food. He wouldn't admit how many times those cats had bullied him out of his own lunch. "And if you want cats I could hook you up with nearly any temperament or color.. no fancy breeds really though. Except there is one exotic looking one, I don't know breeds well but he is massive, friendly though if you're nice to him." He chuckled.

"They've been there for me too, so it's only fair that I give them some love in return." He blushed as he realized how pathetic that sounded. Being cheered up by stray cats wasn't really something he felt he was supposed to say out loud.

"Well I mean... even you wanting to do something is more than a lot of people do, so of course I respect it." He responded casually as if pointing out something that was simply obvious to him. "Thinking the way you do is really admirable."

"I hope you can go back one day. Even though you may be here now, there is something really nostalgic about where you were born, I think. You have a connection that never goes away." She would sigh under her breath as she tried to remember her family going out on sailboats along the coast of Italy during the summer. How the wind felt in her hair and how the water would splash her hands when she leaned over. "Sharing those places with people feels good too." This was much quieter, as if she could imagine Arc beside her in those moments. She would force that image out of her head though. You can't be thinking like that, you've known him barely a day! She thought in her head, getting angry at herself. At the same time, hearing him talk about cats with such passion made her want to hear it more. He seemed so kind and genuine in those moments that she was having a hard time pulling away.

Leaning in, she would place her elbows on the table and smile in his direction, her open eyes white and translucent. "While an exotic cat would be nice, I want the opposite. Give me the one that has been through the most, or a few, and I will adopt them." With a confirming nod, she would settle on that. "Of course, that's not to say that the exotic one doesn't deserve a home either! Maybe I'll just adopt them all, so you can see them safely whenever you want." She took a second to realize what she implied, before waving her hands frantically in front of her. "I-I mean not that you need to come over to my house!" Nice one Maisie.

When he complimented the way she thought, she had no other choice than to bury her face in her hands. She was too red to process anything anymore, especially after her own mess up. With a simple nod, that would be the only reply he got for a few moments as she tried to calm down. She would peek through her fingers by opening them up, letting him know that she was still paying attention to him. "Do you say these things to all the girls you try to rob and befriend, or just me?"

"True." Arc agreed. "Maybe that's why I still talk like this..." He mused a little, referring to his ever-present accent that had somehow barely faded over the years. Then he smiled mischievously for a moment before continuing, this time concentrating and speaking with more typical Japanese pronunciation. "Instead of like this." He grinned as if proud of himself for actually sounding Japanese for once as he finished off his coffee, though he doubted he would ever sound like that naturally no matter how many years passed by. In his heart he was still very much Canadian.

"I'll need to introduce you to Suzy then. Tiny thing, three legs, but sassy and likes to sit on your shoulders like a scarf once you win her over. Tuna helps." He rambled a little, averting his gaze as she leaned forward, his face going beet-red once again. "There are a few that don't really do as well as the others, like her."

Honestly if his building wasn't so strict with pets he likely would have ended up with an apartment full of cats by now, but he didn't want to give them hope if there was a risk they'd just get kicked back to the street right along with him. Since he could barely take care of himself, he decided giving them no hope was better than fake hope.
"There's a pretty young lil guy too, he's with a small group of them but I think he's a runt so they bully him a bit. He's cute though, and his fur is as pretty and soft as a cloud."

Arc blinked at her blankly for a moment as she mentioned him saying these things to all girls or just her, but then the blush slowly returned as he took a moment to actually think about what he had said.
"Sorry.. I tend to say what comes to mind without considering it might be too blunt..."

"Oh my! Well I think you sound good either way. You should talk the way that makes you comfortable. Your voice is pretty." She would be genuine with the compliment, as it was important that she was able to let him know how she felt when there may be no one else that would.

"Suzy... That sounds like a great cat to have." She was already picturing it... How it would be to have a cat at home and all the cuddles she could give her. "I will for sure take her, and get a lot of tuna to win her over more!" She was sure that fresh tuna from her private chef would work fine. "I will take that one too, and if I am allowed, I may take them all!"

She would just sit there, nodding along with this words. "I... I don't mind it. It's nice to get attention like this." It made her feel wanted and excited. "I have a question though, a really important one." With her hands moving away from her drink, she would place them on the table, palm up, as if for him to grab them. "... Am I pretty?"

Arc smiled as she called his voice pretty, not entirely agreeing himself, but still appreciating her words none the less. He was really enjoying talking to someone normally, let alone someone that didn't immediately insult or tease him for enjoying something. The idea that he could get some of his little friends a good home out of it as well was just the icing on the top.

However as she asked if she was pretty, Arc stared at her for a moment feeling embarrassed as his face flushed hot again at the idea of answering such a question, but also not wanting to not answer and hurt her, either. Instead he shoved down his awkwardness and gently put his hands on hers, though he kept his fists closed loosely so she wouldn't be poked by his sharper nails, suddenly rather self-conscious of them.
"Very! You're as pretty as you are sweet, like a lil angel, and your style is super cute~" He assured her, dying inside a little at saying his thoughts out loud. "Your hair is really cool too, I like the colors, they're very unique in an elegant way~"

She wasn't really waiting for anything in particular, because she knew that it was useless to expect too much from people you didn't know well. Her hands got a bit cold, only for them to be warmed by his touch. It wasn't a perfect physical touch, but it was more than she was expecting from him.

"Thank you." Her hands would shake a bit in excitement, as she wasn't expecting him to give so many big compliments. He seemed so genuine that it was hard to believe that someone like that even existed and was sitting across from him. How could that even be possible? Was he some type of prince charming, or was he just being nice to her because he wanted something from her? She was never able to tell things like that, and perhaps that was the downfall that she had as a nice person.

"I really appreciate all of the positive things that you said, Arc. It makes me feel like I'm worth looking at." With her being blind, that was always her worry. Did she not have friends because she was ugly, or because people just didn't want to try so hard to be around her. "It... It really makes me happy." Her eyes would try to look at him, a genuine smile coming from her. "I can tell that you are such a genuine person, Arc. I'm sure that you're going to make someone really happy with how you talk to me!" She would move her hands to squeeze his, trying to make him feel good about himself. "I'm sure that your hair looks really good, and I'm sure it's really soft too."

"Of course you're worth looking at." Arc said the words before pausing and seeming to notice how odd that sounded. "Not that it's what matters, but I still want you to know you are very pretty." He added firmly, an obvious smile to his voice as he slowly began to relax a little more and get over his awkwardness with how they met.

He glanced out the window for a moment with an odd expression as she mentioned making someone happy, but his voice was humorous as he looked back to her and grinned.
"I don't know about that," He mused. "I've done work as a model, so I got the looks, but they're about all I got going for me. Nothing but fluff between my ears, and that gets boring."

His tone carried none of the negativity of his words, merely stating it as an amusing fact as he stared at her hands. Part of him was surprised how warm they were, but the thought quickly shifted as he realized that was partially because he never had normal interactions like this in his life. Not for the last five years at least. It made him feel weirdly guilty the more he thought about it, like her hands would get dirty just by touching his or being too close.

Maisie felt like she was speaking to her prince charming. They had only known each other for a little bit of time, but Maisie felt that there was a connection between them. Maybe it was that longing for human connection and actual compliments that was getting them to act like this, but she hadn't felt that she had gotten such a genuine comment from a stranger ever. She would bow her head a bit as he spoke, as if embarrassed by the reddening of here cheeks. He was staring at her, and she couldn't really do anything about it. It was always odd that people could just stare at her without her knowledge, but this felt different. Maisie wanted Arc to look at her, and at least look at her because she was pretty.

The grip on his hands would tighten, as if she was scared that he would leave her grasp and never see her again. How could you so casually say things to someone and not be embarrassed? Was he embarrassed? She wasn't really able to tell because she couldn't see him. At his comment, she would lean a bit closer, wanting to get his attention. "Well, I can't see you, and you're making me happy right now!" The words were bold and clear, as she wanted him to know how she felt. "I haven't felt like this ever, and holding your hands makes my heart move." She wasn't sure of the term in the moment, but it was the right idea.

"You don't have to have a perfect face or personality. Just us sitting here holding hands is making me want you to stay around." Realizing what she said, she would bite her lip to stop herself from speaking so much. "U-Um... I mean, not to force that on you..." Maybe the feeling wasn't mututal.

Arc looked up at her words and blinked for a moment before glancing back to the window like a deer in headlights. Once again he found himself not used to hearing people say things like that about him. ~Think she'd say that if she really knew ya?~ Whisp's taunt made him cringe inwardly as he wondered the same, but he tried to keep such thoughts from effecting him outwardly as he looked back to Maisie.

Despite being pretty sure the answer to Whisp's question wasn't a good one, it didn't stop him from smiling at Maisie.
"I'd be fine.. staying around." He smirked, trying to sound mischievous despite the fact that he could feel his face flush again. "You're really fun to be around, and really sweet."

Maisie

She wasn't sure if she had spoken out of turn. It was easy to think that the way that Maisie talked was more straightforward than should be allowed, but in reality Maisie was just sure about the things that she wanted to say. With her already having a barrier in getting close to people, she tried her best to be open about her own feelings so that nothing was lost in translation.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that." A warm smile was shown to Arc, because in those moments, she was so content to be able to make a genuine connection with someone. Even if they only held hands and nothing more, she had someone that she wanted to be around that was her age and didn't find her annoying. "I think you're fun to be around too! You make me really happy." Noticing that they were still holding hands, Maisie would jump a bit and move her head downwards. "Is it weird that we are holding hands like this? I wouldn't want to make your partner jealous or to get the wrong idea." Maisie wasn't even sure who you should be holding hands with, so maybe she had stepped over the line. "We can stop if you want to."

Arc smiled at her response, but as she spoke up about holding hands and a partner, he couldn't help but chuckle like a fool. Partially because he found the idea of it funny; he was the kind of guy people called when they just needed company, not the kind anyone kept around for the hell of it. He hadn't had a real relationship since he was sixteen, which felt like a lifetime ago now.

The other reason was simply her use of the word 'partner'. ~Well, Whisp? You jealous?~ ~Go fuck yourself~ He smirked in satisfaction as he was immediately rewarded with a hiss in his mind barely a moment after thinking the words. 
"I don't have anyone like that, and I don't really know if it's weird... It's not something I've really done." He responded, a little embarrassed maybe but still rather content with the odd way this day had gone. It sure as hell beat his usual day to day.

"I'm fine with it~" He added, not only finding it oddly relaxing but also seeing no harm in it anyway. He had no real boundaries for himself when it came to what others did, and even if he had, he doubted the innocent way the girl just wanted to hold hands would have bothered him anyway. He was a little surprised someone like her existed in this city.
"So what do you like to do for fun?"

"I see, sorry if it was a sensitive topic. I have never had anyone interested in me, so I wasn't sure if you had a similar experience or not." It felt weird to not really have any experience or knowledge about what was normal. "I'm glad that I am not making anyone jealous or overstepping." Maisie smiled, giving her a small squeeze to his hands. "I am fine with it too, Arc." It felt nice to be able to touch someone normally. A lot of the time she would get bumped or touched without really wanting that. Here, she was wanting it and she felt safe with Arc.

"For fun?" That was a tricky question for her. "I like to do baking and eating food! I also love music, and learning about new things. I'm a hero at UAU too, so I guess I will have a lot of time to learn new things." She beamed with this information, her thumbs rubbing his hands ever so gently. As a last little note, she would say an almost secret. "I also love to just listen to people talking around me, I think it's kind of funny!" It was a weird thing to do, but something that a lot of people ignored in their day to day life. "What about you, what do you do for fun?"
