[ she peers back in ]

Is it gone?

[lightningbeetle]

It's gone, Hina. It won't come back.

[strooonger]

Thank you, Kane.

[ she walks back in ]

[lightningbeetle]

It's not a problem. The bug was harmless.

[strooonger]

Did I put this on right?

[lightningbeetle]

You did. Don't worry. [he comes over, taking your arm and rolls up the sleeve of the plaid shirt until it stops above your elbow. he does the same with the other. when he's done, he wraps a red bandana around your wrist. he then finishes it off with a white poncho with red markings on it]

There! Done!

[strooonger]

I like this a lot.

[ she twirls around in it happily ]

[lightningbeetle]

It's the closets I can get to what my people wear using what you given me.

[strooonger]

It's really cute!

[lightningbeetle]

I'm glad you like it.

[strooonger]

I can get a lot of ideas from this.

[lightningbeetle]

Really? That's great!

[strooonger]

Mm, thank you, Kane-sa--

Kane.

[lightningbeetle]

[takes notice] It will take time to get use to.

[strooonger]

It will. I'm so used to calling you that instead.

[lightningbeetle]

Forgive me if I ever add the honorific to your name.

[strooonger]

As long as you forgive me.

[lightningbeetle]

Deal!

[strooonger]

Deal!

[lightningbeetle]

Oh, right! There is something I need to show you. Come sit on the bed and close your eyes.

[strooonger]

Mm, alright.

[ she goes to the bed & sits down, closing her eyes ]

[lightningbeetle]

[heads for the window to bring down the shade and heads for the lights afterwards to turn it off]

Open your eyes now!

[the room is completely dark sans for the stars and constellations that appear around the walls and ceilings]

[ she opens her eyes & . . . looks around, staring at it all ]

[strooonger]

O-oh!

[ she's so surprised & pleased by it all that that's all she can say ]

I got help from Jiu Wu and Takeru. They created some of them.
