[ hehe ]

Great! Now quick, what's your favorite color?

[applechemist]

Purple!

[muragas]

Then lets find some purple beads for your bracelet!

[ time to rummage through bins and make a mess of whatever sorting system is in place ]

[applechemist]

[ she nods and starts looking around ]

So do you make jewelry often? I've only ever synthesized things like that.

[muragas]

Mm, not that often, actually! I usually make snacks for my friends to eat, or other things. But there's a lady in the mall that makes beautiful items out of the gems I bring her.

[applechemist]

Hehe. Snacks are a much better gift than jewelry.

... But I'm sure that jewelry is beautiful, too. Do you deal a lot with gems?

[muragas]

Not really! I just find them and hand them over to the professionals.

[ because a weird lady in a mall shop is a professional... except that it's true. ]

She can make all kinds of things out of them - toys, spells, augments... You name it, she does it. I wish I could learn from her...

[applechemist]

[ If Escha weren't from a world with magic she might question 'spells' more but, alas. ]

Wow, she sounds like an alchemist. I wish I had someone that would just bring me materials, too.

[muragas]

Hmmm... maybe it was our version of alchemy?

[ hm ]

Well, how about this? If one of my friends ever ends up visiting your world, I'll make sure they deliver things to you for a day!

[ chop chop, Theo ]

[applechemist]

Maybe! I wish I could see her process.

[ ahh, inter-dimensional travel. the dream. ]

I don't know if your friends would be thrilled about that... But I certainly would!

[muragas]

Akihiko-senpai wouldn't mind. He'd call it training and happily run wherever you send him.

[ ... ]

Though it is true that Mitsuru-senpai might be too busy. Maybe I could get Aigis to help out?

[applechemist]

Those are your friends?

[ I mean, given the conversation, obviously they are? But that's more of a prompt to tell her more about your friends! ]

[muragas]

Mm, they are!

[ and she takes the bait, hook line and sinker. ]

Mitsuru-senpai is like... the boss of us all, because she's the best of us. She's smart, and beautiful, and driven... And Aigis is one of my best friends! She's an android, but she's really been learning a lot about humanity and feelings. It's been incredible watching her grow.

[ w-what about aki ]

[applechemist]

Oh, I know just how that feels. I always feel really happy when I watch Clone talking to people and using the human phrases I taught her.

[ android buddies... ]

[muragas]

Clone? Who's that?

[ ....... please don't... don't let it be literal... ]

[applechemist]

Oh - she's an automaton, back home. She raised my after my mother passed.
