Miss Aqua, Miss Aqua, look! Rin worked out how to make a, a, phone call? Can you see Rin? Hello everyone! This is Rin's first time! Rin would normally offer to make flower chains, but there's not a lot of flowers here, huh...

[ Hey there, Rin, have a waving Carl. ]

Hi, Rin. Maybe we can find a substitute for flowers?

[morality_pet]

[ She waves back excitedly ]

Will you help Rin look? It's so sad that there's not a lot of flowers....

[postocular]

Sure I will. I know I haven't seen very many of them inside the city... but you know, I read a book once that taught you how to fold paper into different shapes. Maybe we could make flowers?

Re: video;;

[morality_pet]

Ooooooooooooh! Can you show Rin how?

[postocular]

How about we find a book and learn together?

[morality_pet]

[ She bounces ]

One with pictures?

[postocular]

It would probably be better for both of us if it had pictures- just to make sure we do it right, huh?

[morality_pet]

Yes! Rin wonders what sort of flowers we can make.

[postocular]

I dunno, there's really only one way to find out, right?

[morality_pet]

Yes! Will Rin come and find you?

[postocular]

Why don't I meet you in the shopping district? We can look for books there.

[morality_pet]

Okay!

[ She nods ]

Rin will be right there!

[postocular]

I'll wait right at the front, okay?

[morality_pet]

Okay!

[ She fumbles with the communicator a bit before managing to turn it off, and then goes running out to find him, waving enthusiastically ]

Mr Carl! Mr Carl!

[postocular]

[ He waves when he sees her, walking to meet her halfway. ]

Hi, Rin! Are you ready to find what we're looking for?

Re: Action

[morality_pet]

[ She bounds up to him to greet him with a hug ]

Yes! Where shall we start looking?

Action

[postocular]

[ He returns her hug, even giving her a little squeeze before he lets go. ]

We should see if there's a craft store or something like it.

Action

[morality_pet]

[ Bouncing excitedly she reaches for his hand ]

Does Mr Carl know what to look for? Rin's never seen anything like!

Action

[postocular]

[ Of course he closes the distance and takes hold of her hand. What kind of monster would he be if he didn't? ]

Kind of! Even if we have to do a little searching, that's okay. It won't be able to hide from us, will it?

Action

[morality_pet]

[ She beams up at him ]

Rin will keep eyes wiiiiiiiiiiide open!

Action

[postocular]

Between the two of us, we're bound to find some.

[ He's not unfamiliar with having to search for what he's looking for, and sometimes it's easier to just pick a shop and go down the line- which is what he does, steering them in through the first set of doors. ]

We'll just go one by one, that way we know what's in each store. That will make things easier later, right?

Action

[morality_pet]

Ok!

[ She agrees, going where he leads happily ]

Rin can't reach the top shelves though!

Action

[postocular]

That's what I'm here for. That way we can search high and low.

[ The first store appears to be mostly clothing, but it's still good to know what it has to offer. ]

Hm, this place definitely won't have what we want, but maybe we'll find something else for later?

Action

[morality_pet]

Whoooooaaaa so many clothes. [ She look around in amazement ]

Rin's never seen so many in one place before!

Action

[postocular]

No?

[ After spending so long in the Fleet, it wasn't much for him to bat an eye at seeing all that there was to offer. Each planet even had their own sense of style. It was just hard to conceive that not everyone had seen a store like that. Maybe it was where she was from? ]

Well, we'll have an extra-long look around, okay?
