v13suji:
from even under her hood, jinyi’s glow is noticeable. she hails from the most paradise of planets, it’s a wonder why jinyi still stays with their bunch of drunken rave-having enthusiast cons. her love for her home planet is strong, but yet she seems happy where she is.
it’s an endless sea of greenery and glass buildings, everything immaculate and clean. it’s certainly not like kavasch. the bustling roads and a divide between slums and mansions. on velleda, there seems to be no such concept.
“ yeah, it’s really paradise, ” suji agrees adorned in more eye-catching clothing. she’s really not one to let go of her diamond chokers and studded skirts. “ you never think of coming back? for good? ”
jinyi bites her lip as she keeps doing, looks around as she keeps looking--always one foot on the designated walkway and the other on the beaten path. for a moment, her eyes seem dream-like. for a second, she looks like a piece of a painting finally glued back where she’d been torn off. for all of a single pause in the universe, she belongs nowhere but here.
“no,” she answers simply, walking on towards the shop around the corner. “i’ve been away too long,” she says. “there’s a kind of irreparable quality to drawn out distance, don’t you think?”
she pushes open a glass door to reveal a shop filled with more glass, and clothes hanging on glass, and shoes in display behind glass. “this used to be one of my favorite places,” she shares with another little smile. “i’m sure you’ll find something you like.”
