April 14. [ RL with Feferi ]

[reloadfromsave]

[ half an hour on Google had helped Homura make a plan; she had chosen an Okinawan beach, on one of the smaller islands with rare visitors, southern enough to be warm even in April. Homura's carrying a cooler with snacks because it's important to be a good host when you're hanging out with alien princesses (you will not find this in any etiquette manual but it is the truth). ]

Oh, wow... it feels almost tropical here!

Hehehe, that's the spirit! I don't make a habit of letting my friends drown, so you'll be okay. [ tug tug let's go!! ]

[ homura paddles after!! having friends is a new experience okay ]

This is so exciting! I don't think I've ever been so excited. I wonder what kinds of fish live on this planet. Maybe we have all the same fish! [ swimming out deeper and deeper, alternating between swimming entirely under the water and on her back so she can chatter continuously. ]

Um, there are octopi, and sea urchins, and... fish.... [ WITNESS HOMURA'S EXTENSIVE AQUATIC KNOWLEDGE. She has to keep pausing to spit water out of her mouth, but she's doing a fair job of keeping up ]

Hehehe, we had all of those things on Alternia, too! [ she treads in place, quickly surveying what's under the water. ] Here's one. Shall we?

[ she nods, takes a breath, and submerges herself. And then-- ]

Wow--!

[ she's never seen a coral reef up close and in person before, so she's unable to stop herself exclaiming; she bobs back up and takes another breath before descending again ]

[ dissolving into unintelligible giggles again, diving under the water herself. you may not be able to speak down there, but feferi sure can! ]

It's amazing! Look at all the colors!

[ homura nods, pointing to a school of angelfish as they zip past. She makes a hand motion she hopes indicates that she's never been that close to fish before, and she thought they'd be more scared of her! (That is a lot to fit into one hand motion so it probably doesn't really work) ]

[ as usual, feferi's first reaction is to laugh. she's got no idea what homura's trying to say, but she looks pretty happy! ] They're pretty neat, right! Fish are actually pretty friendly, as long as you don't try to hurt or frighten them.

[ she reaches out a hand, letting the fish swim around her fingers and arm, giggling silently when they brush her. She cocks her head and points at them, meaning to ask if Feferi has the same kind where she comes from ]

[ okay, she thinks she's starting to get the hang of this gesture talk thing. ] Amazing, hehehe! We had these kinds on Alternia, too! Though they were a little different. More dangerous-looking? I guess everything Alternian is somewhat more dangerous than all your fragile human stuff.
