"Come purchase my fine wares-!" Xiang had shouted out when he stopped to see what he swears is his long-gone sister. Ears flick down in grief, covering his mouth for a moment in shock. "It...I'm just looking at a ghost, aren't I?" - Xiang @ Baiheng because her death tore him up <3

With how long she had been slumbering away, hidden within the Xianzhou, Baiheng didn't blame her elder brother for being in disbelief, seeing her walking the streets once more. While most of her former companions were long gone, scattered to the winds, she couldn't help feeling a sense of nostalgia.

Eventually coming to a stop just before her elder sibling, however, the vixen offered as bright a smile as the morning sun, arms opening wide to welcome him close.

" Xiang Gēgē , I'm back ... ~ "

"Absolutely not, you perverted carnivore!" Lightly tugging on his ears, she sat up. "I just don't think it's wise for me to run around in a bathing suit. Let alone around the other students." She can already feel their gazes looking over her body. "I was used to it back in my world since I wasn't the only one. But here and constantly surrounded by guys, it gets a little creepy."

It was such a simple thing to do, sharing quiet moments together like this, yet ... It was almost strange to her to think just how comfortable it felt being with Haider, especially after he'd simply accepted the truth she'd tried to keep hidden for so long. After a little bit longer, however, Ishtar found herself trying to press just that little bit closer - as if it were even possible - before finally murmuring.

" Would you ... Consider staying the night ... With me ? "

Every day he wondered just what he had done to deserve someone so wonderful as his girlfriend. While he couldn't deny the plushie was absolutely adorable beyond words, something he gladly spent a few moments simply admiring her hard work before setting it aside - instead taking the opportunity to wrap arms around Mirai's waist and pull her down onto the bed with him.

" You make every birthday something I can look forward to just by being in my life , by spending it here with me . " The Colonel grinned as he nudged his forehead against her own, arms squeezing gently around her. " I have the best present I could ever hope for ... You . "

So the rumors were true. He did come up on land. Returning the embrace, the lack of verbal communication from his best friend spoke volumes. "Your voice really is gone..." He muttered. Days where they spoke were now nothing more than a distant memory. Digging out his phone, Flynn handed it off towards the red head. "I'm really happy to see you again, Adrien."

"Shall we dance beneath the stars?" - Aria @ Phainon uwu

"When it comes to dancing, be warned that I have two left feet." A sheepish grin illuminated his features as he took her hand. Even when he danced as a child, Phainon would always find himself either tripping himself with his own feet. Or stepping on Cyrene's toes which always ended with a colorful insult from her.

"I've tried to visualize dancing like combat but it always seems to fail me."

"Hehehe, sister, I must say you chose an excellent planet to crash to. Such valuable customers everywhere!" - Xiang being a damn crook oop

@partum-memoriae

"Xiang!  Don't think about creating another money-making scheme.  She doesn't know where her brother gets these ideas from, but he must be hanging around with the wrong people because he constantly has money on his mind. In addition to the fact that we're now living here and that Amphoreous' laws are different—you're even fortunate that Mydei let you live in the palace with us—I can't believe you snuck on my starskiff again."

Continued from: "Hm..." Mei never did get nightmares in the way most would, no fears about leaving her backpack at home or giant things chasing her, her own felt so mundane and yet left a heavy burden on her chest. She often dreamt about the day her father left, the day was so ordinary and it wasn't scary to her, but knowing what happened after is what scars her. "Kureno-san...What do you do if you can't sleep because you're...scared to dream of something bad?"

@partum-memoriae

Kureno wasn't sure what the girl's nightmares were of. He didn't feel it was his place to pry, not unless she were to want to discuss them. A part of it was also his own tendency to distance himself from others, a tendency that had worsened since his own curse had broken.

At her question, he remained silent for a moment as he pondered how to answer. Generally, he would remain up and find something to do, like read a book. Really anything that he could find to do without having to leave his room.

"I've had many sleepless nights for that reason." He spoke softly, "Sometimes I've managed to fall asleep after reading." Other times it didn't work. Sometimes it was only the physical exhaustion of sleep deprivation that worked. "Would you like a bedtime story?" That was something that 'normal' families did, wasn't it? It seemed like it was worth offering.
