Fastidious and precise, she's a killer queen

 1. [On a fine, clear day outside, music can be heard drifting through the air. The sound of a cello can be heard gently drifting through the air. If someone bothers to track it down, they'd find a beautiful, elegant-looking woman practicing on the instrument, while her maid stands nearby.]

Oh, good morning. Can I help you with something?

2. [Kanae's other main way to spend time early on? Shooting. Not at a firing range, either, but outside. She's shooting skeet, and any wildlife that happen to wander into her sight.]

You know Sayo, I don't think I'll ever get entirely used to guns...The noise, the smoke, that odd tingle that runs up your spine as the bullet slams into your target...

[BAM, down goes a bluebird.]

[Kanae and Sayo are pretty much completely unfazed.]

...You get sunburnt that easily, huh?


Young lady, perhaps you should purchase a hat?

[empress_without_a_throne]

[Well thanks goodness for that. Saves her the incentive to explain that detail.]

Not exactly. You know when you experience something that makes you physically ill? It's like that... except it's sunlight that does this to me.

[A weary sigh as she sits down in her self-made shade. She can still feel the sunlight coming down on the DuskBird's arm, but fortunately the machine's made of sterner stuff than the rest of her.]

Even moonlight has an effect on me, but not nearly to the same extent as on a day like this.

[way_of_vengeance]

That's quite the skin condition.

[empress_without_a_throne]

I manage. There's worse problems people have to deal with rather than just a general and strong sense of discomfort.

Plus, when push comes to shove there's always the DuskBird.

[She knocks her fist once against the gigantic limb.]
