II. → Naoto Shirogane [BBS]

Greetings. My name is Naoto Shirogane. I am posting this on behalf of the library committee.

There will be a meeting from 1800-2000 this Thursday. If anyone is interested, please feel free to attend. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Ah... [She nods once.] Actually you did look familiar. I suppose that's why. It is nice to meet you more officially, Rion-san.

[I think Souji objects to you stealing his s.links]

... Rion-san?

[He looks very confused. What is a 'san'?

what that's your S.Link FF8 doesn't have those B(]

Ah... Right. [She keeps forgetting. Riona had asked that too.]

It is an honorific in my native language. It is equivalent to "Mister" or "Miss" in English.

You don't need to call me anything like that.

[... he flails, a tiny bit, and looks uncomfortable. Why would anyone treat him with that much respect?]

[That seems to catch her off guard. She looks a tad embarrassed but nods.] Yes, of course. I will do so.

[Right, cultural differences. Apparently here it makes people uncomfortable to be spoken to that politely? Since Riona had reacted the same way. She'll have to remember that.]

[... he pauses, then asks another, slightly more silly question, writing quickly.]

Would Naoto-san be appropriate where you're from?

[identity profile] truthsfortune.livejournal.com 2010-06-08 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, looks a tad surprised, but nods.] Oh, um. Yes. But just 'Naoto' is fine if you prefer.

It's okay, Naoto-san, if you'd prefer that. It's more like home, isn't it?

[He smiles a little bit towards her, still unaware that ... well, Naoto-san wouldn't be technically correct, would it? He's just trying to help, though.]

It's only three more letters and a bit of punctuation, after all.

[She smiles faintly. That's true. She wasn't sure a whole lot of people here spoke Japanese so hearing it was sort of nostalgic.]

As you wish then.
