I'd much rather hang out with all kinds of people than fight monsters I can't even talk to. After all, there is nothing more complex and interesting than "people" in this world. text / audio / video / action art credit code credit

[ She most definitely has good taste in clothes... And that's not a biased statement at all just because this goddess so happens to have similar taste in clothes, if only slightly darker and less frilly, no no. It's just an objective matter of fact. ]

That sounds like the two of you were better siblings than most blood-related ones.

[ Ereshkigal being one of the most ancient example in human history of siblings not getting along well.

But... She really ought not to be summoned here. She can tell just from the portrait, the kind of horrors they suffer here might be too much for her. Humans adapt and survive to any situations, but there is always something that breaks in the process. It's going to be horribly lonely for him, but it's better that way.

... ... ... ... ...

She turns around and without warning take his hand to look at his nails. ]

Mhm... [She nods and then looks up at him.] If you'd like, I could do your nails every now and then. I've been doing mine on my own since nail polish was first invented five thousand years ago. [How did a Chinese invention make its way to the Sumerian Underworld? B-Better not question Fate/ logic] There's no way I could ever make up for her absence and I would never even dare trying. But if that could help you feel less lonely... That's something I'd very much like to do.

[ He laughs and nods as he crosses his arms. His eyes don’t leave Vivian’s portrait, which is partially because he’s drawn into examining some of the flaws that only he can see… But it’s also to make what he says something casual. ]

Oh, absolutely. I came from a big family, and all of my siblings were terrible. Well, half-siblings, but it’s still a blood-relation, unfortunately~.

[ It’s the tiniest of lies, since not all of them were terrible, but he’s not going to get into explaining the other girl’s portrait, now is he? Besides, as she offers, Hugo looks at her with open surprise at first, but it’s quick to bloom into a smile. ]

Would you? [ Another laugh, but this one is almost bashful. ] I… would like that, yes. It’d be a lovely little routine to get back to.

[ Terrible siblings, huh...

It's okay she gets it. She knows what it's like to publicly tell your sibling is the physical embodiment of everything that's wrong in existence, but deep down loving her and missing her so much. Sometimes it's just complicated(tm). ]

Of course!

[ She lets go of his hand and smiles brightly. S-She's never really done that with someone either, but that sounds like a fun activity, and Hugo is someone she has grown to trust. ]

Next I come, I'll bring my nail polish. I'll just need to know your favorite colors.

[ What a relief that she doesn’t ask about it… He doesn’t like talking about his family, and especially not when there’s a much cuter topic at hand (literally). ]

Ah, that’s easy, at least. Purple is my favorite color. [ Which she might have guessed by this point, actually, since he tends to wear purples a lot. ] But on my nails I prefer black, usually. Any dark color works, though, since it matches my sense of fashion best.

[ aka they’re exactly the same in this ]

[queenofkur]

Color coordination is important.

[ It's good he can discern just using his favorite color everywhere wouldn't make for a great result. She tried long ago and the result was disastrous. She smiles and nods at him. She probably should think about getting back... And for next time: ]

Black is also usually the color I use. That or dark shades of red. I'll bring them with me next time.

Mm, I think we have rather similar aesthetic tastes, just based on what I've seen you wear here!

[ Though also, her thought was correct... She has a very similar sense of fashion to Vivian, so they're the ones that would get along perfectly in this regard. Though at least in both cases, there's definitely an overlap! ]

Just bring whatever you're thinking about, honestly. We don't have to match perfectly, but perhaps complimentary sets? I wouldn't want to trouble you by getting too much polish.
