"...I'm asking you this as kindly as I can manage, but please refrain from this in the future."

[Yuuka can't help but let out a laugh at the mention of Murasa's recent drownings, amused by someone like that staying at the temple.]

Really now? You would truly allow someone like her to stay in your care, even as she continues her base instincts?

...I can't help but respect that, in a way.

"Surprisingly, the little echo seems quite thoughtful regarding the person said breasts are attached to. Though, it is quite clear that they weigh 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗹𝘆 on her mind."

[Yuuka can't help but giggle a bit at her own joke... it's a bit creepy.]

"I don't know, she might have you beat. Hard not to see breasts around here with the little echo sharing what she's seen recently."

"Why, it was only for a few days at most. Very little can happen in such a short time span."

Most likely, I would have simply gotten in the way of people giving out treats.

Or even breaking a few hearts myself, literally.

[Even with her other self's dour expression, Yuuka cannot help but smile. What could she say, really? She knew she was in good company, even if it's just herself in a way.]

Ah, tell me about it. I almost thought we were due for an early spring, before it turned to ice again. Some sun would be nice.

Please, I insist.

[The towering planet-like giant crouches down to try to be at eye level with the girl... it's not very easy.]

...

...

...

...Go on.

Certainly the devoted sort, aren't you?

[She's far more animated than her counterpart, gracefully bowing while lifting the hem of her dress]

Greetings. I see that someone was enjoying their time in the sun. Wouldn't want to wilt away, now would you?

🌱 I greatly appreciate the help you offer me, me.

there's a joke about holding boobs in there somewhere

🌱 I shall be the one to carry this heavy burden, it would seem.

Hmm, no. No, not quite. Though, I do have the 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 memory of turning someone just like into fertilizer instead.

[Yuuka bows down just a little bit, as to loom over the girl with her shadow. Her smile is faint, and filled with poison]

Must just be my imagination, right?

...and why exactly would that be?

[Yuuka raises an eyebrow at what Kyouko has to say, though her smile remains unchanged. It's almost cocky in nature.]

Oh, really now? Pray tell, do you Myouren Temple folks really believe there's any sort of coexistence possible with Youkai like myself around? I've been known to be cruel for fun.

My, what's this? Never thought I would find myself on one of my strolls, and asleep no less.

[She looks over her other self, making note of what differences she can find]

...And I thought I was tall for a Youkai. Hm, this coming summer is sure to change that.
