Hi sweetie, I just wanted to check in on you, see how you were doing, make sure you're safe and sound after everything. Let me know if you need anything, alright?
Oh I'm not picky. Whatever you have is fine. I'll be over soon!
[The girl was packing up her bag to head over. All she really had was her sketchbook, but she hated being without it. It was a comfort but also inspiration could come at any time. Luckily Usagi wasn't far from her temporary home so she wouldn't get lost along the way. When she arrive, she knocked on the door.]
NAMINÉ-CHAN! [Usagi gathered Naminé up in a hug, Orion barking at their heels, his tail wagging happily though he didn't jump up. She pushed some hair from Naminé's face and smiled bright.]
Ah come in come in! I pulled out some light snacks, hope you like honey lemon tea and raspberry-jam cookies!
I would give you strawberry shortcake but I ate that as soon as I woke up.
Naminé-chan, meet Orion. He's my puppy that I found here. Not AS MUCH of a puppy anymore, he's way bigger now. But he's not even one year old yet so still a puppy!
Come one, let's get you something to eat and tea of course! Just leave your shoes by the door, there are house slippers if you need!
[Naminé took off the boots that Usagi had bought her and put on the slippers. She was trying to be careful not to step on the dog as she walked in with her.]
Well thank you! I share it with one of my loved ones, Setsuna Meiou! Sora comes by and stays with me from time to time too, but we have plenty of rooms for more. [She got a house big enough to house all the senshi, after all.
Orion walked beside the girls, his tail wagging happily at the company but he was an otherwise mellow dog, only ever really excitable with Usagi and those who lived with him.]
But, I do have an eye for decoration, it's why people trust me with their weddings and parties.
I've actually always wanted to be a party planner! Making people's happiest days stress free always sounded perfect to me. And now I can do it! [She sees that fading smile but doesn't comment on it... yet.]
Well, you're welcome to come work for me! Or I know plenty of places hiring because of all the people I contact, I could stop by and see if they need anyone? What do you like to do?
[She gestured for Namine to take a seat at the table while she brought over the tea tray.]
[The witch took a seat at the table and admired the tea being served. It smelled amazing.]
Well... the only thing I'm really good at is drawing.
[Naminé reached into her bag and pulled out her sketchbook. She opened it up to the first page and slid it over to the girl to look through. She glanced away while she did though, and her cheeks blushed a little.]
Naminé-chan! You can't say it like that! Being able to draw is amazing! [She took the sketchbook and gently went through the pages.] These are amazing! And I know if you practice everyday, you'll get better and better. I'm really fond of doodling, myself, but nothing like these.
Ah! Maybe we can get you a job at a toy store! Help them design toys for little kids?
Ah...thank you Usagi. [It really did make her happy when people liked her art. It was important to her after all. Making a career out of it could be a good idea, but it made her a little nervous too.]
Perhaps. I've never done designing honestly. I mostly illustrate.
Alright, let's start one thing at a time then. The job can wait. In fact if you need, you can stay here with me and Setsuna-san so you can save your money! The house is plenty big for another person!
[Where she living currently was...okay. Despite the shared kitchen with the entire building. And the bathroom.
Okay she wasn't a fan. But she was trying not to complain. Almost all of her other friends had offered her a place to stay, but staying the people of her life before here felt odd to her. She hurt a lot of them, and even if they forgave her, she really hadn't forgiven herself. Especially not with what happened with Sora recently.
