well, you /do/ look strong.. i guess fighting him in self defense is fine? [ clasping their hands together. ] just please don't accidentally break any of my bones! it's happened more times than you'd think!

[ bwuh- cute?! they're blushing. ] uh- not really, no..! but that's just because he knows what's best for me. i'm.. um.. pretty clueless on my own. [ they're reaching up to gently tap samson's face. feels like he's asleep. ]

...oh! right, i forgot to introduce myself, huh? my name's filia! and you already know about samson. [ she smiles. ]

!! yeah, i hope so, too! i could try to show you around sometime? i'm not the best, um, tour guide, but! i know a few great places to get food around here!

[ a sheepish little laugh. ] whenever! i'm never really, too busy, so..! that's up to you!

right now?! i mean- right now definitely works! samson's asleep, so at least i know he won't be bothering us for a while.

okay, well, then.. follow me! [ trying to make conversation as they walk. talking to new people was always an awkward ordeal for them. ] ..ssoo, um.. you said you were new around here. does that mean you live nearby..?

filia! 💕 //this is a product placement. shame on you skullgirls

...ohhh. okay. [ she nods. it's not the craziest thing she's ever heard, surprisingly. ] that must be so much fun! i have to run everywhere.. good exercise, i guess, but having to get new shoes all the time isn't fun at all! and getting caught in the rain or snow sucks, too.

ha, i.. i guess so? i never really thought about it all too much.. um. why? is that weird or something?

hmm.. i guess it might help to do it every day, then? so it's easier to get used to, and you can run for way longer. [ shrugging. ]

dinner with the twin!

hmmm.. i feel like i'm forgetting something important today.....

birthdays are a big deal! they only happen once a year!
