Fokiri Village

"Which do you prefer?" Shiki asked.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Sandra paused to think about that, never having really considered it before. "Mountains, I guess," she replied with a shrug. "Why ask?"  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Well, that's where we'll build our house," Shiki said and gave her a small squeeze.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Sandra smiled up at him, but she felt a little unsure inside. Apparently, he had been thinking about some other things besides whether or not he was going to go home or not. She still felt like the village was her home, the thought of making a new home, away from there, it was strange.

"...You don't like it?" Shiki asked, "It could be in any mountain you want. Even close to your village."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"You don't have any preference?" Sandra asked, to take the focus off of her.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I have two preferences," Shiki said, "The first one is that you're there. The second one is that you're happy," he gave her another small squeeze.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Do you ever think about yourself?" Sandra questioned with a crooked smile.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Oh no..." Shiki said weakly, as if to say 'another weakness found'.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Sandra rolled her eyes at him again and leaned her head against his shoulder. "You're kind of pathetic sometimes, you know?"  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I know..." Shiki said, "But I want you to be happy."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I am happy," Sandra said, smiling at him. "You're here, I'm automatically happy."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Shiki pulled her a little closer, "I feel the same way towards you," he said.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Hmmm..." Sandra murmured. She was still thinking about what Shiki just said. It was like they were engaged or something, but he had never asked for her hand. It made her feel odd, like this was arranged or something.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"What are you thinking about?" Shiki asked. He knew something was on her mind.
