[here they are in the hotel lobby!

jiuqing is looking around. she's mostly composed, but there's undisguised interest in her expression as she takes in the sights. this is definitely architecture she's not used to, but...]

It's lovely...

[petalbursts]

[ ruby has seen modern buildings like this before, but they were never THIS COOL!!?? she is also very awestruck. ]

Wooooow…Everything is so colorful!

[countermeasures]

It's certainly a welcome change from how things were when we first arrived!

[(animal crossing flowers)]

[petalbursts]

Definitely! The more color we get, the less sad I feel.

[ theyre so cute. help. ]

[countermeasures]

I do, too.

[she smiles]

I've never been in a building like this before, though. Are they common where you come from, Miss Rose?

[petalbursts]

[ smiles! ]

They are, though the ones in Vale aren't this fancy. What kind of buildings do you have back home?

[countermeasures]

Hmm...

[she hums to herself, thinking of how to describe it, and then something occurs to her - she focuses, and then there's a flash of crystalline light before the shimmering image of her country's capital appears in front of them. it lasts for about thirty seconds before fading out.



i'll get you art from the comic once i'm free of capitalism but it's very fancy ancient china architecture]

[petalbursts]

Oh wow!

[ she is amazed by everything that just happened. ]

The buildings are gorgeous...the whole city is.

[countermeasures]

[she smiles]

...there are some parts of it that are very nice, yes.

[petalbursts]

Do you miss it?

[ this is a loaded question, but ruby doesn't think before speaking. ]

[countermeasures]

...the city itself, no. I could take it or leave it. But I do miss my mother, and my friends. I hope they're doing alright without me.
