It’ll be a hard habit to break but if it’s what you wish I’ll do my best.

i am afraid not.

although you might already know me, i apologize for not properly introducing myself.

my name is Kotone Montagne. a pleasure.

Ah right..right yes that makes sense

i..don’t believe I’ve properly introduced myself yet - have i..

( blink... blink... before chuckles came out. )

hehe. i already am satisfied with my hair color. that's why i can't dye it.

but thank you for thinking so...?

( ah... she hadn’t known his name yet. )

I don’t think you should, you look nice-

As in the color looks nice not you look nice - not that you DONT look nice it’s just 💧💧

do what you want with your hair, it’s your choice

[𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐘𝐆𝐍𝐄 @ballerinepure]

ㅤ

dying my hair is not an option, too...

fame can be so troublesome.

( sighs. )

The choice of hair color doesn’t help with anonymity either

[𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐘𝐆𝐍𝐄 @ballerinepure]

ㅤ

i-i suppose my face is a bit recognizable. it just hasn't set in how i have some... fame.

“Simply a figure skater” might be a bit of an understatement, but perhaps im prying

[𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐘𝐆𝐍𝐄 @ballerinepure]

ㅤ

that's a bit of an exaggeration. the media tends to do that...

i am simply a figure skater.

[𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝙏𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙀 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 @GALExPRECISION]

I’ve read about you before - it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to he recognized, I’d even go as far as to say you’re something of a celebrity

[𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐘𝐆𝐍𝐄 @ballerinepure]

being noticed?

ㅤ

[𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝙏𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙀 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 @GALExPRECISION]

I guess

[𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝙏𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙀 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 @GALExPRECISION]

Surprised? Over what

[𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐘𝐆𝐍𝐄 @ballerinepure]

ㅤ

no, it's fine. i wasn't offended.

simply surprised.

I - yeah I guess it is

however being the best has come at a cost that i wasn’t aware of when I began

[𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝙏𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙀 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 @GALExPRECISION]

At first it wasn’t my choice - however they put me through an elite private school one where I was required to do an extracurricular activity lest I wish to fail.

I just happened to be naturally adept at this particular one.

[𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝙏𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙀 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 @GALExPRECISION]

It was between this, table tennis or maybe golf for school clubs

My parents insisted on fencing, and I’m not fond of the eithers
