{se} All our flaws are bittersweet

Hotaru

Satisfied that she has secured (another) future visit with Isla aside from their exploration of the kingdom beneath the waves, Ru reclines in her seat and crosses her ankles with a pleased smile, fingers flitting around the smooth handle of her teacup. "Send me a letter as soon as you've secured a coat and I'll clear my calendar for you," she assures, and does not at all consider the comparisons between herself and her daughter when it comes to ensnaring the time and attention of the Remedy in lands not her own.

Somehow managing to chortle elegantly, Hotaru raises her own cup in a toast and definitely doesn't put a piercing shop on her list of places for the two of them to visit in the future. Though her amusement swiftly banks itself into the coals of warmth and dare she say fondness as Isla softens in turn. Smiling, Hotaru sets her teacup aside, fingers splaying flat on the table as she gives the Remedy the weight of her full attention and rather rare sincerity. "Nor did I. But I'm so very glad we could." Men ought not get in the way of wonderful female friendships, right?

"Now, tell me every bit of dirt you have on Sunjata that I can use against him," she loftily commands with a vixen grin, hoping to tease some more laughter from the other blonde before the evening is out.
