- Ah, it's nice to feel the breeze on your skin every once
[cdb]in a while...
- Hey there, Hildy. How nice to run into you!
- Same! So, uh, what brings you here?
- I had a craving for tea, so I came out here to pick
[cdb]some herbs.
- Tea, huh? I might have to get in on that.
- Hey, is that a new bracelet?
- It's different from the one you wore yesterday, right?
- Oh, this? Yes, a fan of mine gave it to me.
- She looked up to me as a songstress before she
[cdb]became a soldier, and by sheer coincidence we ended
[cdb]up assigned to the same army.
- The fact she still supports me even now makes me
[cdb]happier than I can say.
- Yeah, getting a gift from a supportive fan must be a
[cdb]pretty great feeling.
- Looks valuable, too. She must really like you.
- Yes, it is rather nice, isn't it?
- Wish I had a big fancy bracelet I could swing around.
- You wear all sorts of accessories, don't you, Hildy?
- Also makeup and the like. Why, there's no one better
[cdb]in the whole army when it comes to such things!
- If that bar was any lower, it'd be rolling on the floor.
Most folks here don't give fashion a second thought.
- Still, I like to make my own accessories based on
[cdb]current trends.
- You make them yourself? That's amazing! Oh,
[cdb]and speaking of recent trends, I hear plants are the
[cdb]latest and greatest thing.
- Not flowers, mind, but complicated patterns such as
[cdb]ivy and vines.
- That's right! I've been sort of obsessed with
[cdb]them lately.
- But the more elaborate I make them, the more
[cdb]delicate they are. I think a bracelet made like that
[cdb]would break too easily.
- Ah, you have such dexterous fingers, Hildy.
- That's sweet, but seriously, I'm not much of
[cdb]a craftswoman.
- Anyway, not to super abruptly change the subject,
[cdb]but what kind of makeup do you use?
- Are you all about the latest fashions, or do you tend
[cdb]to go more traditional?
- Generally, I try to use those that are reputed to be
[cdb]good for the body.
- They say some cosmetics are actually quite unhealthy,
[cdb]which worries me.
- I know what you mean! And you tend to not find out
[cdb]until it's wayyy too late!
- I wanna stay cute forever, so I've gotta watch out
[cdb]for stuff like that and protect my skin.
- So true. But say, how about we continue this chat
[cdb]over some tea?
- Are you kidding? I'd sit here and talk to you until the
[cdb]cows come home!
