[Thankfully, Marti has always been more of a pants kind of person.

Moving closer, she waits for him to bend down. Being a cheerleader, doing this stuff is pretty common.]

Oh, right, sorry!

[He's definitely not one to actually take charge of a situation. But, whatever, he bends down, and waits for her to climb on. Wait, how heave was she...? Ah, he'll find out.]

[Don't worry, Marti very much is.

As for how heavy she is, she's tall but thin.]

Raise up and I can probably reach the top.

[Well. It's a relief that she's light, seeing as how he lifted her up with ease.]

Do you do sports or something? For being tall, you sure don't weigh much.

I did gymnastics for a while. [And she does grab the wall and lift herself with ease.] But now I'm a cheerleader.

[But she doesn't look like the typical cheerleader. Slightly torn jeans, a midriff top, and a jacket look comfortable but not the usual style. The hand that's offered down to him has black nail polish on the nails.]

Ah, that explains it. Sorry, I was just a little curious is all.

[...did he check her height at all? He's pretty short for a guy, so how tall someone is an insecurity of his, so if a girl is taller...he grabs her hand, and tries to lift himself up. She definitely didn't look like any girl he was used to. But then again, she was thrown of by his name...]

[She's 5'8, rather tall for a girl.

Using both hands, she's able to help him up the wall, if with effort.]

So now that we're climbing partners, do I get the real name?

[As soon as he gets up to the top, he flashes her a smile.]

Ah, Souhei Sasahara is my real name, but I really prefer "Sasayan".

[It's just a name that stuck with the guy. A regular school boy that's short in stature, but probably at the same height as her.]

[Turning around, she'll look over the wall, carrying on the conversation as she does. Hmm...]

So where are you from? The name's not American so probably somewhere in Asia?

Japanese, so you got the Asia part right. You're American, correct? Marti is definitely something you don't hear in Japan.

[He'll glance to the other side of the wall, as well. Huh...]

[Nothing, as far as she could tell. That made no sense.]

It's not something you hear a lot in America, either. Not for a girl, anyway.

[He sighed. Well, isn't this a bit disappointing. He stood straight up, and began to tap his foot on the brick wall. Not exactly soft up here...]

Eh? It's not? Well, not like I would know. I'm not well versed in American culture, anyways.

[She'll sit with a leg on either side. She just needs a plan... E, was it now?]

I can't say I know a lot about Japan. What's it like?

Well, I wouldn't know where to begin with it. It just depends on how we look at it.

I guess you could say we're more traditional then most places, with a lot of festivals for different dates. And...I guess the girls give the boys chocolate here? Does that happen in America?

Valentine's day? It's usually more of a holiday for a guy to score points with his girlfriend or for society to try to make single girls feel like they should have one but, yeah, sometimes girls give stuff too.

Well, we have a Valentine's Day here, which is...like you said. [Though how she described it made his face crinkle up a bit.] But White Day is where the girls give the guys stuff. It's nice, though, to see people spend the day with their loved one.

So spend the other 364 days with them too. I'm not against the day but I'll never understand why we have to make special days to remember how we're supposed to act.

Well, yeah, that too. I never really understand it myself. [He coughs a bit awkwardly.] Eh, I'll never really understand love myself anyways. I'm not exactly a sort of "romantic".

Nobody understands it. If they did, we would have a lot less country songs.

Oh...sorry. Guess that doesn't make a lot of sense to a Japanese boy. Do...they have country music there?

[A nervous laugh came out of him as she said that.]

Nah, I have no clue what in the world that is. Must be something only you guys have. Either way, I can't be bothered with love. It's too tiresome.

Hang in there and one day, you'll find a girl you can be tired of it with.

Nah, I'd rather not think about it for now. After all, we have this stupid wall to deal with. [His foot tapping grows louder.]

You're plan is to bring it down with your foot?

It's just me being annoyed, is all. Like I'm really strong enough to do something like that. [He's about ready to just jump down from the stupid thing.]

Relax. It was a joke.

[Getting off the wall? It looks like Marti might have the same idea, swinging the other foot to join the first.]

Coming?
