The boy tried to focus on fishing, wanting to at least get something so that it would lift the Mistress' spirits, but everything just seemed to still at that moment. It was like the Earth stopped spinning and was waiting in bated breath to see what would happen next. What was Grisaia doing? He was staring at where his fishing line connected with the smooth water. Despite his calm exterior, the blonde couldn't help but watch from his peripheral as the Mistress moved over his side of the boat, strategically placing the equipment on the other side. It was only then that he gave her his full attention.

[color=lemonchiffon][b]"I forgive you. In the moment it probably felt like the right thing to do. I'd probably do the same if I were in your situation."[/b][/color] He spoke up before quickly nodding in agreement and looking back out at the water. [color=lemonchiffon][b]"Even thought I would never say it in front of my colleagues, I agree."[/b][/color] Not only where they the only two in the estate that shared a last name, but he could remember the day he arrived, Grisaia never felt particularly frightened or nervous around the older woman. It was feeling he never wanted to forget, and thus, here he was. 

The rabbit almost gave himself whiplash with how fast he looked back at the woman next to him. Ears still shaking a bit from the sudden movement, crystal eyes searched the Mistress' face for any sigh of her lying. And of course there was none.
[color=lemonchiffon][b]"Wh-What?"[/b][/color] He blinked, listening carefully to what she had to say. Her past didn't seem much different from his own. It would explain why she was so nice to him. And even with this newfound information, it wasn't like he was going to treat her any different because of it. [color=lemonchiffon][b]"I'm the one that should be thanking you for all those things instead, but of cou--"[/b][/color] Grisaia never got the chance to finish as his fishing line went taut, making him jolt forward awkwardly. 

[color=lemonchiffon][b]"O-Oh dear..."[/b][/color] He mumbled as he began to pull on the fishing rod in intervals.

Eiko nodded slowly, emerald eyes following Mie with a glint of curiosity behind them. 
[color=rosybrown][b]"That makes sense..."[/b][/color] Eiko trailed as she looked back at the other's clothing once again. Of course the girl had only really been exposed to Pristella's clothing and fabrics, so seeing something from Kiraragi made it harder for the brunette to really tell the worth of the clothing. She could only assume at this point. [color=rosybrown][b]"Alright, I have faith in you. You'll do great!"[/b][/color] She chimed as she brought her arms back out into a T-pose.

Being more than use to being measured and measuring herself, Eiko let her mind wander as she didn't want to disturb Mie on accident. It was only when the other spoke up that the dove did herself.
[color=rosybrown][b]"Aw, thanks! I try to take good care of them, even thought it's kind of a hassle."[/b][/color] She grinned before nodded quickly. She really shouldn't make a hole for her wings, especially since she hadn't been planning on buying the dress anyways. [color=rosybrown][b]"I-It's fine, I wouldn't worry too much about that..."[/b][/color] She trailed as she lowered her arms and followed Mie to where the dress laid. It really was a pretty dress... Eiko frowned slightly, only to immediate perk up when Mie started speaking to her again. Did she want the dress? Her mind was saying to think it over again while her heart was screaming yes. [color=rosybrown][b]"I-"[/b][/color]

The words never left her mouth as she was interrupted by an old man. A shopkeeper with a secret? Mie Yukima? Emerald eyes slowly went from the man to Mie as she remained quiet. She wasn't quite sure if Mie wanted to be known or not so it was better just stay back and watch. Just then another voice came out the blue, effectively scaring the brunette with both his voice and appearance, making her scoot behind the fox with wide eyes. Who exactly where these people? And what did they want with some shopkeeper?!
