[strangers, huh? it's a completely foreign thing to suzaku outside of civvies because there's no such thing as a person who doesn't recognize 'zero'. and kazuki was sure that anyone in his small community would recognize him...
as strange as being a 'stranger' is, suzaku mouth lifts into a (fake) smile, strained at the edges though not unkind. he's just irritated now, but taking it out on an old lady is something he'll definitely more than regret later.]
Mm, something like that. We were just checking something— sorry for bothering you. This place is a little...
[confusing, he leaves off, the understatement of the year. his smile turns to kazuki and lightens up a little, despite the situation at hand - there's no need to make an ant hill a mole hill, they just need to be calm about it.]
[ Kazuki finishes for Zero. He smiles gently, the kind he gives Rakuen's patrons so they wouldn't look at him with pity anymore. Everything is alright.
The old lady laughs heartily, obviously charmed. ]
Oh, I suppose it must be lots different from the city alright! But don't you fret, this old town has its own brand of excitement too! We've got a local festival for one-- that's coming up this June... and fishing is wonderful here--
[ And so the old lady begins talking about the town, providing everything and nothing. Kazuki listens, or really, half-listens. What he really takes from it is the fact that Japan still exists- that this isn't a solitary island - and that if they wanted to they can ride the train and reach Tokyo in two hours. ]
