[encouragetomorrow]

[Unionomura, Honoka's cart shop of Calderan snacks, has been closed since the event, with a variance of signs hung from it apologizing for the prolonged absence. Some days, there was a basket of sweets with a note of "Take one!", other days there was no sign at all. Really, the Calderan girl had been abnormally scarce.]

[Today, she makes her reappearance, though not at her cart. She's sitting with her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hand when the feed pops on, though at first all anyone will see is a startled Pumpkaboo.]

Ah-- Kabocha no!

[She realizes the feed is on and looks. Well, startled. Caught. Uneasy.]

[Her hands immediately come to cover her cheeks, just under her eyes. It really only makes the slight differences to her more obvious. Her face, just under her eyes and down most of her cheeks, as well as her hands from about halfway between her wrist and elbows to her fingertips are smattered with pale, shimmering orange-and-pink scales. As she leans away from her Warp Band's feed, her fingernails turn slightly more opaquely white and elongate.]

Ahhh. Oh. Oh no. Well. I guess maybe I should probably say something since I guess some of you might be worried. Shoot.

That's true. If it helps, your scales are very pretty.

[Even over a black and white feed, she can see how they're shimmering.]

[Right, there's no color yet. I forget these things. Regardless, Honoka's skin darkens a little.]

...Ah, thank you.

[I forget all the time too. Geez, Engineers, get on that already.]

Well, I'd better not keep you. It sounds like you have a lot to think about and a lot of training to do. Let me know how it goes, all right?

[Right.]

I will! Thank you.
