Octoponies [Day 2, Early Evening, Closed]

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"I didn't think you were," Rinzuki reassures her with a grin. "But, there's no reason not to enjoy those little dreams, neh? Regret is a sin, afterall."

[Shinjo Qulan]

"You're right... Rinzuki-chan." She smiled weakly. "Thanks."

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"Think nothing of it." She turns her attention towards the sunset as she falls quiet.

[Shinjo Qulan]

"... Something the matter?" Qulan asked with concern.

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"Nothing important," she says, turning back to Qulan with a smile. "Just enjoying the sunset. It never seems to get quite this colorful back in the Empire."

[Shinjo Qulan]

"Oh." She turned towards the sun. "You're right. It's so pretty."

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"A little bit chilly with the wind, though." She rubs her ams with her hands. "Next time I'll have to remember to bring a cloak or something."

[Shinjo Qulan]

"You're cold, Rinzuki-chan?" She scooted in with concern.

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

"These uniforms aren't very warm," she sighs, with a glance down at her shirt. "I guess the sleeved one would have been a better choice, now that I think about it..."

[Shinjo Qulan]

"... Is there anything I can do?" Qulan asked absentmindedly.

[Iuchi Rinzuki]

Rinzuki ponders the matter quietly as the camera pans up to the setting sunset.
