She only hoped that Sailor Mercury wasn't too far off her original perspective.
Ami was a rather attractive girl in several respects. Not only was she physically lovely, she had a sweet personality that tended towards being respectful and kind. Then there was the fact that she was brilliant, having all sorts of scientific skills available that would have confused even much older individuals. Her mind was like a well oiled machine, capable of high level chess, analyzing machinery to rework, or just coming up with solutions to problems. People admired her for her brillance, felt intimidated by her, and some might have even been attracted to her.
Unfortunately, she was shy, and learned mainly from studying subjects. She had little appreciation for her looks, and wasn't confrontational. Despite having a great love of books and learning, she wasn't that... comfortable with the compliments sent her way. And she was not adventurous by any means of determining.
Which was odd, seeing as she was currenly on a cliff overlooking a rather lovely valley far from any major outpost of civilization at the moment.
It was her mother's idea, and had been explained as a trip to learn things first hand. That was a good enough sentiment, and was very possible when considering that the best way to get a feel for something was to actually go and see it. Such had been her mother's expressed reason for sending her out to travel all over the place.
She was reasonably sure that it was just an excuse to send her out of the house and learn something other than just how to collect textbooks.
The plan worked either way, though Ami wasn't too thrilled with it. As a girl who had trouble getting herself to go shopping for more than the neccessities, or just hang out, going to far off areas was not her idea of a good time. Simply trying to not offend the locals was a bit hard when one didn't have a reference for their customs, and wasn't a conversationalist anyway.
Still, she had to admit that it was really nice being up there. With no possibility that the ground was about to collapse under her, she could sit and enjoy the fact that there was a fantastic view up there. It was amazing for her to be able to see just how different this was in comparision to say... the view from a tall building in her hometown.
And it made a great place to rest her aching feet, since getting up there had been hard for a girl who wasn't by nature an athlete.
Still, she knew that there was more to this road, and she would have to get going soon enough while:
