"Shit...I can't believe I got careless."  A young man muttered as he clutched a wound at his side.  He had dark brown hair tied into a pony tail and matching eyes.  He turned around, his slightly feminine face looked around to see if anyone was nearby before taking off his shirt.  Underneath was what looked like a corset.  He undid it showing that he, was rather a she.  The young woman's chest was exposed as she bandaged up her wound.  She was hoping no one she knew found her.

Unfortunately for the young woman, another woman was in the vicinity. One with red, long hair, light blue eyes and skin a bit tan. She was wearing a red jacket with a blue shirt underneath, black jeans that accentuated her figure and sneakers. The woman had noticed the other woman, recognized her in her disguised form and ran straight for her. "You alright there, hand.... some...? ...You're a girl..." That was a fact, not a question.

The young woman paled as she heard a voice she recognized.  Of all the people to have found her, why did it have to be Joanna?  There was no way she could hide this from someone like her.  With her corset unzipped there was no way to hide her barely B-Cup breasts.  "Fuck...why did it have to be you Joanna?  Why of all people to find me like this why the hell did it have to be you!"

"Oh, calm down sweetie. I do know how to keep secrets, believe it or not." Joanna replied, moving closer to check on Saria's wound, not waiting for the latter's permission. "Looks like you bandaged it up pretty well. Good to see you're fine."

"H-Hey!"  Saria said, blushing as Joanna got in close.  She was not used to anyone being this close, especially when she was so exposed like this.  After pushing Joanna away, Saria zipped back up her corset and put her shirt back on.  "I can take care of myself.  But you better not tell anyone about this!"

Joanna found herself being pushed away. She was already used to reactions like these and simply shrugged it off. "I already said I know how to keep secrets. Still, I'm here if you need someone to talk to. And I seriously mean talking, not my usual greetings. Unless you want my usual greetings then I could do so."

Saria blushed even more at the idea of Joanna's usual greeting.  As if it wasn't awkward enough before but now that she knew that Saria was female it would be so much work.  "How do I know you would actually keep it secret?  You have no reason to do so unless you want something from me."  Saria asked, not even turning to look at Joanna.

"You're right. I have no reason to but I'm still keeping this a secret. You have a right to your privacy." Joanna replied, looking at Saria. "I know this is asking a lot. But you can trust me on this one thing. I'm also here if you need advice on things you're not used to. I'm sure I could teach you a lot if we ever have the chance."

"Just because I'd rather be a guy doesn't mean I am clueless on being girly."  Saria muttered wincing slightly from her injury.  Even if Saria didn't fully trust Joanna at the moment she had no choice in letting her go.  There was no way to stop Joanna from saying it if she wanted to, so Saria hoped she really would keep it secret.

"Considering you already bandaged yourself up, we don't have much to talk about. I'll take my leave then." Joanna turned around and began to leave. She wasn't going to ask why Saria would rather pass for a bishonen guy. The latter had the right to her own privacy after all. But this did change things between the two. Joanna just needed to figure out what to do next.

Saria sighed and went off on her own way.  Honestly this could have gone so much worse than it did.  Saria seemed to have gotten lucky that Joanna was willing to keep her secret and wasn't willing to pry into why Saria was pretending to be a guy.  Still overall a bad day but could have been so much worse than it actually way.

Next day

Joanna walked around today, just simply looking around. She could tell there were some people out today and it made her wonder what Saria was doing. After some thinking, she had decided to leave the latter alone for the moment. The woman did think she could use a boyfriend though. And talking about guys, Joanna noticed a young man making some sort of stance, wielding a sword that was curved a bit. A chinese dao by the looks of it.

The young man was around 19 to 20, skin a bit tan with short, black hair. He was wearing a buttoned, light blue shirt, a pair of green jeans and black sneakers. On his left ear was a small ring piercing as he stopped his usual exercises, his green eyes staring at Joanna. "Oh, it's you. Can I help you?"

"Oh, you can, sweetie. In a lot of things." Joanna replied, with a grin. Looks like she just found her answer. "I have a friend who I believe you should meet. She's shy, nice, not afraid to speak her mind, has very nice legs and ass and some boobs."

"....Does she know you're talking to me about this? At all?" He asked. Most guys would jump at the chance but he had enough common sense to suspect some things. "Or is this just one of your attempts? Cause it's kinda getting annoying."

"Oh no, I'm quite serious. Why does everyone always think I have some ulterior sexual motive?"

"....This is you we're talking about."

"True. But I really don't have a motive this time." Joanna replied, shrugging. "Just relax, Daniel."

And as they were talking who would walk by but the very person they were talking about, not that Daniel would know.  Saria was once again pretending to be 'Sorin'.  Upon seeing Joanna she took several deep breaths before walking over to the two.

"Joanna do you really go up to every guy you can find and try to get them in bed?"  'Sorin' asked, making sure her voice sounded male enough.  She just hoped that Joanna would go along with it.
