sees a man in a skirt, she found this a bit... odd. to say the least. "Um..?" She tapped him on the shoulder.

flushes. Dammit. He had been caught. He stared at her blankly, hoping he didn't look as frightened as he felt. This was so embarrassing.

looks him up and down for a moment. "... Y' kn'w 's w'nter, ja?"

"H'dn't not'ced." He said dryly, as though the goosebumps on his arms weren't indication enough. This is what he gets for trying to do good.

raises an eyebrow. "Wh' d'n't y' ch'nge?" She frowned to herself, why was he familiar...

"Eh," He mumbled, trying to come up with a good excuse. "I l'ke wear'n' th's." It did make his legs look nice at least.

nods slowly. "Ah.. Y'er g'nna get fr'st b'te y' kn'w.."

shrugged. He was no stranger to freezing temperatures, it was the shame of wearing a skirt in public that got him. "'M us'd t' th' c'ld."

nods slightly. "St'll y' can get it.." She looked him over and noticed his legs... Most cross dressers shaved...

wasn't a cross dresser, dammit. "'M f'ne." He shrugged as he rubbed his arms. He groaned inwardly as he remembered that he was holding a_

heart shaped wand. If there was a God, he was fairly certain they hated him right now.

covers her mouth with a hand, what was with that wand...? Did he think he was a fairy. "Um.. Do y' w'nt to at le'st c'me to m' pl'ce 'nd_

w'rm up?"

a super hero! He wasn't sure if he should go home with her… but he did like the idea of being warm. "Ja… Th'nks."

isn't a villain. She nodded to him and lead him to her house, opening the door for him. "H're."

nodded and walked in slowly, it already felt warmer than the outside. "Th'nks."

nods to him. "W'lcome." She shut the door behind her finally realizing who he was. "Sal'r Sw'den."

blinked a few times and tried not to show any visible response despite his surprise. How did she know who he was?

had just heard rumors of a big guy in a skirt calling himself that. "Y' are ar'nt y'?" She kind of felt weird talking about that.

"Eh… Ja…" He messed with his hair for a minute and focused on looking around the house instead of her.

nods slightly. "D'n't w'rry I w'nt tell 'nyone." She said and turned to the kitchen "Tea?"

nods awkwardly and follows her. It can't be too much harm if she knew, and she did seem very nice.

nods to him. "Kay." She put water in the kettle and turned it on taking out the mugs and tea bags.

turned away from her and started hitting the wand against his hand in hopes that it would magically make it work. It did nothing.

hears him hitting something, but ignores it and goes about her business.

curses under his breath. "St'p'd w'nd." It never worked when he needed it to, and now he was stuck like this because of it!

him a look. "So th't's wh' y'er st'ck?"

looked up with wide eyes, thankful he was turned away from her. Had he said that out loud? "Uh… Ja…"

nods slightly. "How's it s'pp'sed to w'rk?"

doesn't really feel like explaining it since it involves a lot of silly sayings and ribbons. "Wave 't 'round 'nd… say mag'c w'rds."

nods slightly. "Ah.." She didn't laugh or even smile, he looked embarrassed so she was polite.

didn't think there was any other possible emotion to feel other than embarrassment at this point. He was wearing a skin tight top and a_

mini-skirt while waving around a heart shaped wand. He missed his dignity.

could tell he did. "'Nd y' c'nt j'st ch'nge out of the o'tfit?"

shook his head sheepishly. He wished it were that easy.

frowns. "Th't isn't good th'n.. Hm.." She didn't think there was anything she could do.

nodded. Though he would rather wait it out than pass out fighting and wake up naked in public. That could get awkward fast.

waits for the kettle thinking quietly. "'Ny oth'r ways to f'x it..?"

shrugged defeatedly. "Not r'lly."

frowns slightly and holds her hand out. "C'uld I see?"

wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not, but the thing didn't work for him so he doubted it would for her either. He shrugged and held_

the wand out to her.

takes the wand from him looking at it,

.**

she isn't secretly an evil villain; He doubted any of the other sailor nordics would hear him cry for help here.

isn't evil at all, she looked at the wand quietly.

watched her, wondering if she might know how to help and hoping that she wouldn't poke fun at him for it.

glad the want didn't react to her, she wouldn't be happy in a sailor uniform. "How do's th's n'rmally w'rk?"

would have enjoyed seeing her in a sailor uniform, but would have worried if it worked better for her than it did for him. "Eh… Y' say th'_

mag'c w'rds an' 't…" He gulped as he debated telling more. "It sh'ts out r'bb'ns."

blinks wondering what the words were. "Oh... W'rds..?"

nodded, though there was no way in hell he was telling her what they were.

raises an eyebrow. "Wh't are the w'rds? H've y' tri'd th'm yet?"

scowled at her. Of course he had tried them! "Ja… I've tri'd th'm." He still wasn't telling her what they were.

frowns at the scowl, she was trying to be helpful! "Ah.. Do's th's n'rm'lly h'ppen?"

shrugged sheepishly. "S'met'mes."

frowns a bit. "M'ybe y'er w'nd is d'f'ctive, or m'ssin s'methin."

didn't think the wand was defective. He thought this entire super power was one big defective joke. "Or s'meth'n'." He grumbled.

raises an eyebrow. "Wh't..?"

shakes his head. He knew he should have left his house unlocked today; Curse this outfit for not having his house keys in the pocket. He_

could have at least been awkward in the privacy of his own home rather than watching a strange woman play with his wand in her kitchen.

isn't strange. She looked at the wand wondering if there were any screw holes, maybe she could take it apart and fix it...

had already looked. It was forged with the power of love, and strong magic that made it nearly impossible to break or get in to.

frowns when she didn't find anything. "How do's th's w'rk?"

"... w'th l've an' mag'c." He mumbled.

nods slightly. "L've?" She felt like she was in a kids show. "Hm.. M'ybe y' need to be in l've w'th s'meone for th's to w'rk r'ght?"

didn't think children's shows allowed fully grown men to run around like this waving wands in the name of love and justice. He also didn't_

think falling in love would help his problems any. He shrugged it off. "M'ybe. Doubt 't'd h'lp."

raises an eyebrow. "Wh' not? It'd pr'b'ly w'rk, if it's p'wer'd by l've?" She didn't really know.

wasn't about to run around trying to find love just to make his stupid wand work.

would find that so amusing. "It pr'b'ly w'uldn't be th't h'rd to f'nd s'meone.. Th'ugh the sk'rt, t'rns g'rls off." She smiled a bit, it was

a joke.

frowned and looked down at the skirt. Was it because he hadn't shaved his legs? He thought people liked hairy legs on men…

it is the hair, that was a real turn off for her. "I was j'kin.."

wasn't trying to turn her on, and what kind of man shaves his legs anyways?! "Ah."

doesn't know, she was just thinking as a woman, but she didn't really care.

"So… Y' d'n't th'nk th' sk'rt'd be a t'rn off th'n?" He raised an eyebrow, joking back somewhat.

makes a face. "W'll.. Ja." She smiled a bit, she was sure he was joking.

"Thought 't l'ked n'ce." He mused. It was easier to deal with it the outfit if he joked about it, and she seemed nice.

smiles and nods a bit. "Nev'r sa'd y' d'dn't."

raised an eyebrow and tried to keep himself from flushing.

doesn't realize he was fighting a flush, she just turned back to the kettle taking it off the burner pouring the water into the mugs.

glad for that. He fiddled with his wand some more and tried to remember how to change back as she poured the tea.

gets milk and sugar out as she let the tea steep.

watched her through the corners of his eyes with curiosity.

tucks some hair behind her ear, she didn't realize he was watching her.

wanted to ask her questions about her life, and why she would willingly pick up a random stranger in a sailor costume… but he said nothing.

wouldn't know how to answer, maybe it was just pity, but he seemed like someone she knew, she couldn't place him though.

didn't want to be pitied, though at this point beggars couldn't be choosers, and it was better than standing out in the cold.

agrees with that, she wouldn't want to be stuck outside in that, that skirt seemed breezy..

felt more comfortable naked in the snow than he did in this outfit. At least temperature wise. B(

would probably agree to that actually.

stood motionless in the kitchen and looked around at the walls.

looks at him. "Wh't do y' l'ke in y'er tea?"

shrugged, not wanting to seem too demanding.

wouldn't really care. "T'll me..?" She didn't have any clue.

shifted uncomfortably and mumbled quietly. "M'lk… an' a l'ttle s'gar."

nods to him. "Alr'ght." she made his tea quickly, making hers almost the exact same way.

went back to looking around the kitchen to avoid looking at her or himself.

holds out his mug. "Wh't's wr'ng?

shook his head and took it. "N'th'n. Tack." Other than being dressed like this in front of a stranger.

nods slightly. "Do y' w'nna sit d'wn?"

"S're." He lifted the cup to his nose to sniff it curiously.

raises an eyebrow. "'s Or'nge peko'.." She took a drink of her's.

nodded and took a small sip. It was good, and tasted almost as though he had prepared it himself.

glad that she made it well.

"It t'stes n'ce."

smiles a bit. "Th't's good."

nodded. "Th'nks… f'r ev'rythin'."

nods to him. "Y'er w'lcome."

stared at the tea as he drank it. At least the tea wouldn't judge him…

hasn't judged him at all.

sat down stiffly and tried to smooth his skirt out over as much of his thighs as he could.
