[a simple black door sits in a wall where there was no door before. behind the door is what appears to be a garden... except that against the pitch sky and twinkling stars, the flowers are all aglow. there doesn't seem to be any magical property to them, aside from the luminescence. they all appear to be normal flowers otherwise, though there's a very wide variety throughout.

Nami is seated beneath a weeping willow in the center of the garden, which is glowing with a gentle pink light. a sketch book has been tossed into the small goldfish pond nearby.]

[fading]

Not really. I'm sure I'll think of something eventually.

[dawnrise]

Well, I'll be around if you need a partner.

[fading]

Maybe I'll pick something that requires one on purpose, then.

[dawnrise]

I wouldn't mind.

[She's being honest, too.]

[fading]

I'll do my best to think of something soon.

[dawnrise]

Good. I think right now we both need showers.

[Unless Nami would prefer to stay dirty for a while.]

[fading]

...yes, that sounds like a good idea.

[he's not used to being dirty.]

[dawnrise]

I might have to soak for an hour.

[Ew, there's dirt in her hair. Silver does not look good with a brown tinge.]

[fading]

[...it probably looks like her hair is rusting.]

I should... head home and shower and you can do that.

[dawnrise]

Yeah. I had fun, even if all we did was dig.

[She enjoys spending time with him, whether or not he thinks so.]

[fading]

It was alright.

[he'd rather not have to do it again though.]

[dawnrise]

I'm sure.

[Hrgh. Time to stand up, in that case, and offer him a hand so he can do the same.]

[fading]

[then he'll stand with her help, attempting to brush himself off some afterwards and failing rather miserably.]

[dawnrise]

[Once he's done or at least mostly done doing that, she's going to hug him again.]

[fading]

[he's surprised, but welcomes the hug and even returns it.]

[dawnrise]

[Good, because she holds it for a moment before she lets go and turns to walk off without a word.]

[fading]

[he shall follow, and totally not take that the wrong way, because that would be silly!]

[dawnrise]

[It happens sometimes. Shall they walk home together?]

[fading]

[that sounds like a very good idea.]
