Natsuru
I'm glad they finally decided to, though I have a feeling it's not a common sentiment. [Maria's seen a few people tonight who look decidedly uncomfortable in their formal clothes.
Seeing Natsuru's hesitant grip on that wine glass, Maria holds her own out in hopes of getting her a bit more confident with it. She's about to offer a toast, but then those admissions come tumbling over one another, and Maria hesitates for a moment before smiling apologetically.]
I'm sorry, again. I wish I could have warned you I was going to be gone, but I didn't know myself until I came back. I'm just grateful that much less time passed here than did in my world while I was there.
[If she'd been gone for the weeks to months she lived out in her world, with Natsuru still bound to her but unable to fight ayakashi properly while she wasn't there, or seek another god if she didn't want to become a nora...it's not a good thought, and Maria tries to shake it off, holding her glass forward again.]
Shall we toast to a good evening, then?
no subject
R-Right, it wasn't your fault or anything...!
[At least she knew Maria would probably come back. It wasn't at all like when Lightning disappeared. But she gets the feeling from Maria that she shouldn't focus so much on how bad it could have been. Not now that everything's back the way it should be.
Noticing the glass held out, and seeming to realize she's holding one too for the first time, she manages a small smile.]
Okay. ... Let's enjoy it together.
[That's how you toast, right? You say something and then hold out the glass like this... and gently tap them together? Then you take a sip? She watches Maria for cues, only moving to take a sip if and when she does too.]
no subject
Well, anything would be more together than earlier today. I don't think I've ever had to get ready for a party so quickly in my life. [She laughs a little, trying to keep the mood a bit lighter so Natsuru doesn't worry too much. It was a little bit stressful, but also nothing too outside her realm of experience, so she can't complain when it comes right down to it.]
no subject
Yeah, but you're probably used to that kind of thing! ... I guess I would be too, if I'd been a professional idol like you.
[She's still getting used to being any sort of idol at all. That is, if CelePara really counts, since normal living people on the Near Shore still tend to overlook them. But here she is, still trying her best to be confident and own her successes, however small.]
You must have gone to a lot of parties like this...
[She's in awe of even the thought of coming to events like this on any sort of regular basis. It seems so glamorous!]
no subject
They're usually a little more lively than this one, but there's nothing wrong with something like this either. It's nice to have the chance to dress classy and not be judged for it.
[That plucks at the edge of her smile a bit - it doesn't bother her too much, but she has had people remark on the way she dresses normally like it's strange to take care of her appearance as much as she does.]
you can drop if you want, but I'll try and be quick about replies if you don't!
That seriously happens?
[Another blink, and she seems to snap back to reality a little. Her focus is entirely back on Maria instead of a blank stare into the distance, at least.]
Like, with you? But you always look so incredible!
[She's made absolutely no secret about wanting to be a little more like Maria. Not so far as copying her, of course, but finding her own way to take care of her appearance with as much care and skill as her god does. Every moment Maria encouraged her or complimented her choices felt like a step closer to her own ideal.
Still, there are contexts to this sort of thing, as she belatedly realizes. Not sure if she should feel embarrassed, she tries to avoid looking it by taking another sip from her glass. And she makes another involuntary little face when the taste hits. It's not bad, just still unexpected.]
Well, I guess we wouldn't dress like this on a normal day. But you still always look amazing...
[She feels like maybe she missed a point in there somehow.]
