Oh? So you have plans for them already. [ Humans do like to give one another things, though. Shijima is well aware of this quirk of theirs, and finds it interesting. Her host family had given her a bunch of toys, but hadn't expected anything in return.
It was strange. ]
I don't know much about business. Just what I observe. But some sort of renting situation may be profitable, since you only get paid once if you sell, but more often if you...rent?
[ A shrug. ]
This project of yours will take time, either way. Some here do not seem to wish to make long-term plans. But you do?
For a couple of them. Once they lay some eggs. [This last bit is a little grumbly, because she's had two of them together for two months so far and nothing.]
Yeah but renting sounds like a lot of work. [She smirks, but it fades a little as Shijima keeps talking, and eventually the pink haired girl shrugs.]
Sure. I mean, I guess I understand what they're thinking, cause they want to go home, but...uh. I can't. So this place is all I've got.
Maybe they're waiting for spring. [ Birds do dumb-ass things like that.
Shijima watches Lumina, curious; she remembers the vague mentions of chaos from their first conversation, but still. ]
I don't think it's a bad thing. Making plans. I never do it myself, but in your shoes, I suppose I would. [ Shijima doesn't want to make plans. Be attached. It'd make it hard, someday, to die. Lumina's not smiling as much now, though, so she changes the topic. ]
I suppose it depends on if you wanna hang around this world, or go home. [She shrugs, waving her arms from side to side.]
I'm gonna give one to Ariadne, 'cause she really likes Chaos. And I'm gonna give one to Alice so she stops riding around on that stupid horse. [That one is never going to happen.]
That doesn't matter to me. [ Maybe it does. But it's nothing to do with her goal. ] As long as I'm here, I won't worry about getting there.
[ But she's already admitted she needs to look for someone at the feast. For all that she hates attachments, Shijima has a few more than she'd ever want to be called on. ]
I've never met either of those people. Are they from our court?
Hmm. [Lumina studies her for a minute, trying to decide what she thinks of that answer.]
Yup. Ariadne is the baroness of that big forest south of the castle gloomy, and Alice is...mm. She's Alice. [Lumina isn't sure how else to describe the girl. Oh wait.]
Oh, another of those spire people? One of the vampires I know has one, too. [ Apparently spires are candy. And she supposes that Beatrix has a spire. It's weird how many people she's been meeting and bothering to remember.
Well, it's a little different than home. There's no reason to keep secrets about her nature. ]
I can't say I'd want a place to look after. All I really want is a sunny window to sleep by. Who needs an entire spire for that?
[ A lie. All she really wants is to die. But in the meantime, she'll settle for places to nap and curiosities satisfied. ]
The last time I did this, someone caught on immediately that I wasn't human, but he didn't care. I must be improving.
[ SHE SOUNDS PLEASED...but really, she's not doing any better than she used to. People just don't tend to expect her not to be human, even when she's utterly bizarre. ]
