[ just like with sol, xion can't help but wonder why their hosts keep their faces hidden... but again, she's in no position to talk. truthfully, she's a little surprised her own can be seen here, the way it's meant to be seen.
but that's neither here nor there at the moment. she bows her head as she comes into the dining room, a soft smile on her lips. ]
You're welcome. I collect them... so I thought it would be a nice present, too. [ she steps closer. ] Did you know, if you hold one up to your ear, you can hear the ocean?
[ i googled the science behind this and was CRUSHED to learn that it's an auditory illusion BUT for the sake of my poor daughter's happiness i will not give her this knowledge... so hope lune enjoys the sound of ambient noise that's kind of similar to crashing waves ]
Can you hear it? It sounds like waves, doesn't it?
You think so? [ she laughs. ] So many people here are really good with arts and crafts... so I'm glad that even if I don't know very much about them, I'm glad I could still help by giving it to you.

So it does, so it does.
Thank you for sharing that with me as well. I have learned something new today.
[they sound so happy about it]
no subject
Even an "old man" like you can still learn new things?
[ ... it's also kind of a legit question, too. sorry?? ]

[so they’re having a pretty great time??? they don’t sound offended at all]
Humanity is truly so complex, and so admirable.
no subject
I know... it's a lot to live with, sometimes.
[ hm? ]
no subject
Are you learning to be human?
no subject
[ it's not like she openly declares it, but she doesn't actively hide it, either ]
no subject
I am as well, in a way.
Perhaps it is better to say that I am learning how to be human, without being entirely human to begin with.

I would only ask you to disclose if you are comfortable.
But we may exchange stories, if that is what you seek.
no subject
Do you mind if I sit down with you?
no subject
I would never mind your company.

The flowers are really pretty, by the way. What were you going to do with them?
no subject
They are capable of quite a conversation.
I believe that your seashell has earned a place among them as well.

Though I wonder... Would you ever care to learn?

Then do not believe for even a moment that I have been forced.
[and they'll gesture to the flowers]
Would you like to help me arrange these?
We may create something together.
no subject
How do I start?
no subject
[at that, lune will pause before picking up an aster and showing it to her]
Might this seem familiar?
no subject
no subject
I suppose I should not be surprised - are you fond of this flower?
no subject
Someone told me once that another name for that flower sounds a lot like mine. That's not a silly reason to like it, is it?
