Well, this was vexing. No matter how much Gible bit into this strange looking woman, he couldn’t pierce her. It began as a show of dominance and interest, and he didn’t want to break into her. Now, though, he took it as a challenge.

“Valentine’s Day,” she reads out loud. There seems to be a big push to buy flowers and candy, and the Warden snorts to herself; can’t people buy such things any day of the year?

“What’s this a holiday for, then? ‘Sorry if you didn’t get enough sugar at Halloween and Christmas, please buy some more’?”

The questions are a sarcastic aside to herself, but Bethany has no idea there’s someone behind her with all the answers she’s looking for.

The downsides of arriving in Koi at the same time as Theorilila’s reveal, is that there’s definitely a lot to take in; without having lived in the city on land, it’s hard to tell what’s unusual in the setting and what’s just the norm.

For example, currently, Kagura is unsure whether she’s ended up in the middle of a giant mosh pit — maybe a line up for a celebrity signing? You can never underestimate how far idol fanclubs will go, after all, she’s learnt that from being around Shinpachi! — or if the people running around screaming their heads off are actually running for their lives. 

She’s also unsure if the gigantic fish were supposed to be there or not. Kagura begins to approach one that’s snoozing softly curled up into a ball, her head tilted curiously and her umbrella stretched out, ready to poke it—

Before she actually goes through with it, an older girl calls out to her! Kagura keeps in position, but turns her chin over her shoulder to meet the stranger curiously, innocent response falling from her lips.

Molly winces as she tries to hold the girl steady, trying to ignore her protests as best as she can. She didn’t really expect this to happen, she was just passing by until she saw her tumble and land on her leg in a very... weird way, to say the least. Standing up wasn’t possible, she tried to get her up. It’s obvious that she’s in pain, she’s clenching her fists and making noises of pain. She has to help, right? Even if it’s a complete stranger, she can... she can...

She can dumb it down.

That’s right! Her epithet can help with this! Hopefully. The weird emptiness in her chest was there, which means some of it was taken away or limited, but she has to try. With a shaking sigh, she puts her hands on her ankle, closing her eyes as a soft green glows from her palms. It feels like it’s working, at the very least. She slowly opens her eyes once the other speaks, thanking her. So it really did work... that’s good to know. It’s one of her more useful abilities, so she’s glad that it stuck around. At her question, she gives a quick nod.

❝ Y-Yeah, one second! ❞

She scrambles off and grabs it by the handle, sitting on her knees and handing it over. 

❝ Sorry for intruding, I just got a little worried. ❞
