[He's always loved the sunset. Even before Yubaba came along, he'd look at the red-orange light reflecting off of his river, and he'd feel content. And when he was with Yubaba, the sight of the sunset made him hope that someday, he might be able to fly off into it, and leave Yubaba behind forever.

Flying around Somarium, he notices the sunset and moves closer to the hill, to be closer to the beautiful light. But who's that on the hill? Is that...Rita? What's she doing out here? Well, he's not going to interrupt whatever it is that she's doing; he'll be as quiet as he can as he lands on the hill, staring at the light as much as he can without going blind.

Somarium had at least one resemblance to his own world; the sunset was just as beautiful here as it was there.]

[And this time, she sees big, long, blue-white dragon thing and does not fry. It's such a strange concept, that you'd probably not even believe it unless I've outlined it straight. ;D She takes a moment to watch as the river plays itself across Kohaku's scales, the drawing of golden glow across running waters reminded exactly of what was it that stood before her. It could be considered quite awe-inspiring.

She stands there, and watches.]

[For a second, he doesn't even notice her gaze. Then, his eyes flicker towards her curiously; he's wondering what she's doing here. Then, when he sees her gaze on him and the clarity of that gaze, he realizes that she must have her sight back.

While that is a good thing, he wonders why she's staring at him like that. His eyes, oddly human for a 10-foot-long dragon, look at her questioningly, as if to ask "What are you staring for?"]

[kyudousha]

[She stares back with that all too audible 'Why the hell do you think?', but it doesn't last. Moments later, and she's grinning from ear to ear.]

Well, what the hell are you waiting for? Hurry up and change back!

BFF DATE IS A GO!!!

[She had been sitting on the hill where Rita shows up, watching the sunset, sheets of music on her laps. She hears the heavy breathing of someone and she turns around to see who it is. Upon recognizing her best friend, her eyes widen, suddenly worried about why the mage was running to her]

Rita? Rita! Is everything all right?!?!?

FFFT <333333

[kyudousha]

[It takes a moment to register, the slant of the sunlight against the hilltops and the way it falls over it's jealous spectators. And when it does, it astounds her, just the sheer visual experience as she has never seen it before. Colors playing across the sky, across the hill, past the fields and beyond.

All of which were reflected within the depths of blue-green eyes.

She whirls, and her face is a picture of shock, relief, and unadulterated delight. The golden glow casts it's light upon the both of them.]

Estelle! I-

My sight! It's back! It's really, really back!

[not_bouncing]

[Estelle's eye widen and she pushes her music sheets off her lap as she stands up, throwing her arms around Rita's neck in a heap of happiness for the mage's miraculous recovery]

Really? Oh Rita! I'm so happy for you!!!

[She beams at her best friend]

[kyudousha]

[/Clings on with dear life, Estelle. We're never letting you go again! There's a gasp when the pink-haired princess launches herself at her, and for a second there, she was almost afraid that she wouldn't be able to support Estelle's weight. Not that she was heavy in the least - Estelle has the constitution of a twig, and Rita secretly believes that a strong enough gust of wind would be able to sweep her away easily into the sky. But to bear the weight of Estelle's happiness -- it's confusing and adoring all at the same time, and it takes all her willpower to not just drop her.

She pats Estelle's shoulders awkwardly. Dammit, how does this hugging thing go again? :/ She grins.]

Estelle. [She pulls the girl closer. It's warm, the sunset. Warm, the smile.] Thanks. Thank you.

You don't have to be, though. It's not like I can't be happy for myself, you know? Save it for something else, and we can share it later, okay?

[was just out walking when a red blur suddenly just whizzed past him, causing him to spin a bit. It took him a moment to realize it was Rita that had ran past, and at first he was worried she would trip or something since she was, you know, kinna blind?

But then he realized that there was only one reason why she would be able to do that. So he followed her like the stalker!ninja that he was and when she reached the top of the hill, he grinned]

Nice ain't it?

[kyudousha]

[Damn she knows that voice. Suddenly, the light fades, and she was back in the undergrounds of Baction with it's unsettling uniformity and winding hallways. Something collapses, and she turns away.

He's not here. He's not here at all. It's just her and the hill and the sunset above and below. He's not here. He's not here.

He's not here at all. What do you mean denial isn't the best solution? :/]

[notjustanoldman]

[:| you're dealing with someone who's been in denial and back man B| have a sad, sad sigh]

After all we've been through, you're just gonna ignore me? [mock sob]

[kyudousha]

[Fffft. <3 Your mock sob does not add to your credibility. /shuns further. Because that's what we do. She stiffens.]
