"[color=FFE63D]No, no, you aren't being rude at all![/color]"

She turned her eye from the seemingly-endless expanse of water that soaked in the dimming light all around her, and nestled down on the bench again, fully engaging with Dahlia. 

"[color=FFE63D]I've lived here my whole life, mhmm! I just never left my room, so you wouldn't have seen me.[/color]" She trained her eye heavenward, marveling as stars started to speckle the darkening sky. "[color=FFE63D]You're [i]pilot[/i] Dahlia, right? I used to watch you online now and then. I didn't know that you lived here, It really is nice to meet you![/color]" She looked over to the end of the boat where Safie was dawdling her feet in the water. Oh. that [i]did[/i] look nice.

She popped her own shoes and socks off, then slowly slid down next to her, letting her feet join the older girl's. She breathed a soft sigh. It really was comfy. She pulled her braid over her shoulder and then fell flat on her back, still enjoying the sky. Pictures [i]really[/i] couldn't do it justice. And she didn't want to slip into the water. 

"[color=FFE63D]You said you were a pilot too, right Safie? Is Besca one also?[/color]"

Another moment passed as the heavens wheeled above her. She reached a hand up from where it lay beside her, absently stroking her hair. "[color=FFE63D]She's the nicest. I'm really glad I finally went outside today.[/color]" She remembered her doubt looking at the slightly ajar door to her room. What had she been so afraid of? This was so much fun, it felt ridiculous looking back. Her stomach was even starting to feel better.

Oh, that reminded her, there was another thing that she wanted to do during her limited time outside. She tilted her head back, bending herself into an arch, until she could see Dahlia. "[color=FFE63D]Dahlia—can I call you Deelie?—could I try the melonberry juice? I've never had it and it sounds delicious![/color]"

[i]I'm sorry, Quinny, but you can't have it. Please stop asking.[/i]

"[color=FFE63D]Not that I want to take it if it's yours![/color]" she added in rapid time, the faintest echo of panic creeping back into her voice as the sunny smile blinked out and she fell to her back again. "[color=FFE63D]I don't want to take your things![/color]"

[i]Have some water instead. How's that sound, sweetie?[/i]
