Sixth Song -Video-

[persistentsong]

[Ranka smiles waving her hand slightly as she turns on the video recording.]

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been quiet the past few days but I have someone I really want to introduce you all to.

[She turns the video device towards Alto, and while she's off camera she's speaking in such an upbeat voice.]

This is Alto! He just recently was brought here, and he's one of my friends from where I came from. I hope that he and everyone will get along together.

I know he's really pretty but you shouldn't be fooled, he's very strong!

[He becomes a little indignant at the mention of his unwanted nickname.]

Don't mention that here!

[Ranka starts and looks up at Alto, the camera shaking around as she starts to wave her arms, her hair sticking up on end.]

I didn't mean that in a bad way Alto, but you are really pretty, and that's why the others always called you princess. It's true, that you're really strong though!

[Ranka seems to have brushed past her little blunder as she smiles hopefully at the camera.]

A-anyway! I hope that all my friends really get along with him. He's a good person!

[He sighs audibly and one of his hands disappears off the screen, the viewer can't see it, but he places a hand on Ranka's shoulder to soothe her a little bit. He's not really mad at her for it, it's just a bit of a point of contention with him. Nevermind that.

He turns his attention back to the camera and nods at those who may be watching.]

I'm Alto Saotome. I'm from the Macross Frontier fleet, like Ranka. Uh... pleased to meet you.

[Immediately when the hand goes off screen, her cheeks flush and she looks up at him and then back to the camera, smiling.]

Thanks for listening!

[With a small wave, Ranka shuts off the camera.]

Comments

[demonical]

[Why? He doesn't wanna make her feel that way, he's just. Well. He's Rin.]

What?! How so?

[persistentsong]

You're just being you. But, that's what I like about you.

[demonical]

[O-Oh. Well if you put it that way...]

Ah.

[persistentsong]

Rin? Are you blushing?

[demonical]

No. You're seeing things.

[persistentsong]

You look cute when you blush.

[demonical]

[He makes a noise that's half way between a sigh and a snort]

But I wasn't-

Even if I was, that's such a girly thing.

[persistentsong]

I think it makes you look very-

[She stops herself and shakes her head.]

It's not just something girls do.

[demonical]

Very what? [Okay, he's curious now]

It is too. I mean girly boys do it, but not men. Guys don't like being called cute, Ranka. Its-[He grits his teeth how does he say it]

Its embarassing

[persistentsong]

I guess that's true. Even Alto hates being called cute most of the time.

[She stops and considers carefully what to say to Rin.]

Hmm. Would you feel better if I called you handsome?

[demonical]

Any guy hates being called that.

[He smiles goofily] Naw, I don't think I'd mind that.
