[it's fine, kashuu. she hums in response to his first question; it's pretty much just like that. she and karell are aestherians, after all. they're basically traitors, but they fight for the right side. it's better to fight and die for the side of the war that is morally correct than support an egotistical maniac just because that's where she's from.

fuck that.

she's not into it at all, so she'll gloss over that as she takes kashuu's hand to start fussing with them for the manicure proper. it's going to be great? he'll be aesthetic and bright? she can fuss about them, since atwight doesn't usually let her do these things.]

I'm pretty impressive! Just because there's a war and I have a ton of work to do doesn't mean I should sacrifice looking so cute! One thing has nothing to do with the others, as long as you're willing to put in a little effort!

[kashuu's not wrong. war is terrible and she doesn't blame anyone else for giving up on that stuff in times like these. she just refuses to concede at all costs, because that's part of what makes her who she is. she can't give that up!]
