[This is Amane.

Out on another walk.

Watch her notice Minato and watch the scene.

Can you feel that, Minato, can you]

[lunateclock]

[He can--

Okay no he can't.

Sorry, he's got his headphones on and he's feeding the ducks and going over his to-do list for the day mentally.

Give him a bit.]

[twiceinhabited]

[Quietly walks over to him.

Notice her now?]

[lunateclock]

[!!

Now he notices that he has company, and he blinks, lifting off his headphones.

Ahhh, and it's pleasant company too. c:]

Good afternoon, Kuzuryu-san. I didn't expect to see you here.

[twiceinhabited]

[Yep. A pleasant company that won't push you into the water, Why? Because she's not that mean or mischievous. :|]

Good afternoon, Arisato. I was taking a walk.

[lunateclock]

[Awwww he just got lucky here.]

That sounds pleasant. It's a good time to take a walk--it's relatively peaceful right now.

[He tilts his head, looking up at the ocean above them, and deadpans.]

Not that the weather ever changes for walks.

[twiceinhabited]

[She's been taking a lot of walks. Outside of the lockdown, she doesn't have her duty or people to help to busy herself with. The sheer amount of free time left her stumped.]

In a way, I miss the changing weather. What's always there and you don't know you'll miss it until it's gone.

[lunateclock]

It is a little difficult to adjust to.

[He nods quietly, brushing breadcrumbs from his hands and tucking them into his pockets.]

What other things do you miss from home?

[twiceinhabited]

[There's a number of things she miss, including...]

Helping Father out.

[Chores. Bringing him tea as he research hard. Running the cult. Despite their disagreement (is Belberith's help really needed?), she still worries for him.]

[lunateclock]

[That sounds nice. :D]

Ah, I see.

...It is a shame that people have been separated from their families here. Hopefully you'll be able to see him again soon.

[twiceinhabited]

I would hope so.

[Assuming he's still alive, which she dearly hope for. Unaware of his future fate]

Do you miss anything?

[lunateclock]

[Sob ow. But the question surprises him some. Does he...ah, well, it's a bittersweet question. But he'd never been one for bitterness, so. His answer is mostly sweet.]

I do miss my home and my friends from home. But I'm grateful for the people I've met here as well.

[twiceinhabited]

[yeah ow She smile a bit.]

It's good to have friends, regardless of where you are. [Even if you're in another world in an underwater bubble. She's on decent terms with some people here, with the exception of Naoya. Just...none that are that close to her.]

[lunateclock]

[He nods at that, considering it thoughtfully for a moment.]

Have you made any friends here, Kuzuryu-san? If you don't mind me asking, that is.

[twiceinhabited]

[Friends? Hm.]

I have met with some nice people here. [Friendly people, but not quite close enough for her to say 'friends', personally.]

[lunateclock]

[He understands what she means by that statement, though. It's a little unfortunate, he thinks, that Amane hasn't been given the chance to open up to anyone here, but...]

There are some nice people here, aren't there? It's almost surprising how open and kind most everyone is.

[Everyone is open and nice to you, Minato. :|]
