There were a lot of things Akimi knew to expect from her condition, but if there was one that never got easier it was issues with height. Akimi spent her day walking around the park and wanting to grab a drink of water so she stopped at a drink of water from a water fountain. Sounds like a normal thing, but being incredibly short was an inconvenience as she was of small stature she was barely taller than the fountain, which was just under four and a half feet tall. There were no other fountains around and Akimi was caught between astonishment at such a height for a fountain. Annoyed, she tried to push herself up to take a drink of water but the poor thing had little upper body strength and couldn't hold herself up and keep the fountain on.
She looked around for a missing stool or block to stand on, but found nothing and gave up on the grounds that even if she did find a block, she had no muscle to move it. Then she tried lifting her arms and using one hand to cup the water, but unfortunately it wasn't very effective. She looked around for some sort of bottle but found nothing. Taking a deep breath, she tried to remain calm but she honestly wanted to pout as she kicked the fountain. However as one would expect from kicking metal, it hurt and Akimi resisted the urge to scream as she shook her delicate foot, feeling the shock and pain. "Oh for heaven's sake, I just want a drink of water..."

This was very likely one of, if not the most daring plans that Naoko had ever actually been held at spearpoint to go through with. Well, not necessarily spearpoint but she was not really willing to stuff her own partner in her pocket just so she could see the human world without needing a holosuit. "Man, this is the worst but this is -so- interesting!" A hushed voice belonging to said partner squeaked. "Quiet." Was all that Naoko responded with. Miyashita Park had more than enough sights to sate the rampant curiosity of the fairy for now, so this was a plus.
Anywho! They reached the fountain, which...wasn't really crowded at the moment except for this really short girl...Wait, was she trying to get the water...?
"...Good grief..." "Pssst. Hey. You should go help her. Totally." Titania's continued whispering was actually starting to get grating. Naoko sighed. "Fiiine..."
...Naoko herself was pretty audible so Akimi could prooobably hear her.

Akimi struggled for a drink of water, she was glad that nobody else was watching, until she heard the voice of an oncoming individual. She turned to greet the oncoming figure as she was wide eyed with embarrassment, as what kind of fool couldn't drink from a water fountain. Well, she turned out to be that fool right now. She took a few steps away from the fountain as she assumed that he wanted to get to the water fountain. "Oh, sorry, did you want to use the water fountain?
Akimi hoped that what she saw as a young man would quickly come and go, she didn't want to be embarassed by what just happened until she recalled he did indeed approach. Her face got slightly flustered as she hoped this could easily slide by. After all, how much could he really have noticed. "Just out of curiosity? How much did you see?"

"Nooooo...? I was just kinda wondering if you needed some help." Naoko started before her pocket stirred and...snickered? "Yeah, sure." Furthermore there was an entirely different question to be asking here...Except? Naoko wasn't really sure as to what it was. "...Geez, I remember being that short....Was a real hassle grabbing things."
...It did not take a detective to realize that Naoko was the pinnacle of social. That. Was sarcasm. "As to how much I saw, I didn't see a lot but at the same time I think I saw enough? Uh...I dunno what you want me to say to that."
Titania felt pretty entertained from her pockety prison. She just wished she had food for this occasion.

Akimi sighed as she expected this to be a damsel in distress call. She already felt embarrassed that a grown woman, well in time and mind, couldn't get a drink from a water fountain. She shook her head as she turned to face the fountain. She looked at what she assumed was a young man in the eyes. He appeared to be a very feminine man in her eyes, but she never wished to pry into it right now. "Oh, no I am fine. But thanks, I got it."
Akimi lied through her kips as she again tried to grab the top of the suspiciously tall fountain and tried to push herself up. Given that the girl had little body strength, the few moments she head herself up was something incredible. She tried lifting her left hand to the switch but she ended up falling back down.
If there was something Akimi needed to know, it was when to ask for help as she clearly struggled again. She tried a few more times against a futile effort. The small woman had to face reality and that she couldn't do this alone, but shrugged off those thoughts quickly. Eventually she still couldn't reach the fountain, and was breathing heavily as she appeared to have exhausted herself. "I got it, no worries..."

Naoko already figured out what she felt about this even as the kid seemingly lied through her teeth like a master swindler. She just watched as Akimi struggled to scale the fountain before she sighed, audibly, and moved forward before trying to grab her and lift her up so she could get up the fountain. She didn't have a lot of upper body strength herself, but compared to Akimi it had to count for something.
Titania meanwhile visibly poked her head out to look at the girl. "...Wow she's small...Hi, how are ya?" This. Was genuinely the worst time for the fairy to make her presence known. Naoko -snarled- a whisper out. "Back in the pocket. Now." She uttered while enacting the lifting.

Reaching up one last time, Akimi was able to finally reach the water fountain. Taking a few moments she managed to get a drink of water. However her sense of touch finally caught up with her as she sensed the other person's hands bellow her shoulders as she was finished with the water fountain. As the fairy digimon tried to speak, Akimi's phone buzzed over the words of Titiana, blanking out the second presence from the human girl's focus.
Jumping out of Naoko's arms, turned back to face her crossing her arms pouting while looking away, if there was anything that really brought out her childish behaviour it was needless help, well needless from her perspective. "Thanks, but I could have gotten to it eventually...."
She recalled the lack of courtesy shown from earlier, she had forgotten to introduce herself as she sighed and bowed down formally to introduce herself to the young man. "Where are my manners, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Akimi, Akimi Midoria."

Akimi was met with a poker face. A poker face that could make a robot realize just how emotionless it was. Naoko just stared at the little person. "...Yeah, but you looked like helpless doing so. And like 'eventually' would've been a long, long time from now." She started, quiet as usual. As introductions were given, Naoko decided to bow as well. "Toriya Naoko. Nice to meet you, Akimi." This was a really well-mannered kid...
Titania, meanwhile, only assumed one thing at being ignored.
She was hecking invisible.
Awww yeah. Now she had to maintain this invisibility that was...actually literally just her being ignored. So she stayed quiet.

It was clear to Akimi he wasn't looking at a gentleman as he was not softening any blow to Akimi's ego. She rolled her eyes at that comment knowing full well that she should at least try and be the bigger person, metaphorically speaking after the fountain incident. However when Naoko introduced themselves, she couldn't help but be puzzled by the name. Naoko was a very feminine name. She eyed the form of Naoko once more."Naoko? That's a bit feminine for a boy, isn't it?"
Akimi noted the voice and frame that could be seen through the clothing and had Naoko pinned as a male, but was seriously confused at this point. Shrugging it off, she brushed it off with an off hand comment. "Oh, I see. Ah well, appearances can be deceiving. One gets comfortable with an image but then is revealed in the shock of a truth that lies in the contrary. I guess it's a little hypocritical for me to presume anyone of anything."
Fishing through her pocket, she pulled out her health card and shown it to Naoko, skipping over the usual problems. Hoping to go straight to the chase, but she knew odds are that wasn't likely. "Yes, that age is accurate. I am actually eight teen.

"Yeah. Yeah, it is. Probably because I'm actually a girl, but hey, think what you will, okay?" Clearly, Naoko was...more than a little annoyed by this tiny person. Well, not tiny, but she wasn't sure if she was talking to a particularly snarky kid or a vertically challenged adult. "Maybe." She replied in response to the hypocrisy bit.
However. She wasn't expecting for the girl to actually pull out an ID card and show off her age like it was no big deal. Two years her seni--... "...You're being serious? The actual heck's up with that?"
Seriously, this girl was older than her sister by a year.
