Yes, she was trying, at least. Yumeiko tried her best not to let any pity through as she smiled at the other fox. As she turned away from Miyuki, she considered the rest of the mess. There [i]was[/i] quite a bit, and judging by how much cleaning had been done, they would be here for quite some time.

Quietly, Yumeiko closed the partition so Miyuki wouldn't see the drones getting to work. She would have Miyuki clean her bed chambers while she used the drones to clean the rest herself. She'd even clean the galley. However, she would leave [i]some[/i] mess and have Miyuki continue the chore after a meal. She didn't plan for too much, but she felt it necessary to reinforce just how much cleaning needed to be done.

The dark fox's musing brought the blond's attention back. The sight that greeted her meant it was Yumeiko's turn to blush - her cheeks flushed, her ears perked, her tails stilled. Then she caught herself and looked away sharply, even as her heart beat fast in her chest.

Damn, it'd been lonely, these centuries - and despite the obvious differences, here was someone very much like herself. The blonde decided she would help directly - she'd leave the laundry to Miyuki, and start picking up the empty containers and bottles within the bed chamber.

"It could only have been you, Miyuki." Gracefully, Yumeiko settled herself to her knees with her feet tucked beneath herself. Once situated, she would begin rapidly tossing rubbish within reach around her into a hardlight trash bin. Despite the need to catch Miyuki's laundry from beneath the bed, she had to continually remind herself not to turn around.
