[ sometime after their adventures in the museum, ruby has decided she needs to pet some cute rainbow animals. and lucky for her, itsuki is here too! ]

Itsuki! [ she runs up to him, smiling wide! ]

I'm glad to see you, here! Thank you, again, for earlier. You really helped cheer me up.

[ she was able to catch the vibes, but was polite and decided against saying anything. but now... ]

And just so you know, I am always here for you, whether you need to vent or need a hand to hold. That's what friends are for!

[ friends also get trapped in magical bubbles, apparently. ]

This again?? Are these things going to keep showing up all week???

[ well. she does the only thing she can do, and that's apply a little color and hope for the best... ]
