—Marine...—she lingered on the name for a second, staring intently, before answering her part—. I’m a bioterrorist wanted nationwide.

—Ah...I had such a good time...—she lamented, head bowed—. But, before we end the conversation, could you tell me: what's your occupation?

—Shiloh. Shiloh Ruud. She smiled, and held out her hand.

—Mmphm. The only problem I see is that I didn’t ask for your name. You’re right. What am I supposed to call you, then? ‘snowball’ isn’t serious, it’ll just make me laugh right in the middle of a conversation. She touched her chin, thoughtful. —Alright! So, what’s your name?

—I’ve been nothing but nice to you. I was even worried that you might have wires in your hair.

—It’s called «irony»! Geez. You’re a very grumpy snowball, aren’t you?

—Heh. It’s because a snowball is very fragile, and you’re preeeetty big. Her gaze traveled all the way up to his eyes.

—Ha! And you’re still lying! You’re unbelievable. Fine, I’ll wait for the call. She laid it out, her words carrying a level of certainty that went beyond a mere suspicion of the irony in his tone. Suddenly, a snort came out of her serious expression. —Pfft. "Snowball".

your partner should never be your first priority. your first priority should always be the 2nd division commander of the whitebeard pirates fire fist ace.

—Hm. Now you’re lying. Eyelids drooping heavily, eyebrows raised in resignation. —Whatever. Don’t believe me, snowball. When they start implanting wires in you, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

—Uh; because someone implanted them in you while you were unconscious, duh? Arched eyebrow, an air of obviousness.

few strands—. If these were wires, they’d be some very advanced wires, hm...—finally, she let her hand drop and tucked both hands back into her pockets—. It’s definitely hair, yeah.

The young woman let out a carefree laugh, making no attempt to pull free from the man’s grip.

—Huuuuuh?? And what’s the deal with your white hair? (❓️) She reaches out an arm, heading straight to touch it.

—You're like...Super old. She commented without reservation. Her eyes were wide open; exorbitantly so.
