“Funny, your ancestors used to live in the Forbidden City in fourteenth century.” Nuray smirked.
“We also lived in felt tents, just like your ancestors, Nunu.” The Mongol-Manchurian points out. “And you know what we girls here have in common, our forefathers built great empires in the past and today. What a coincidence.”
“You don’t say, girls.” Yusheng smiled. “But in my opinion and not related to what you’ve said, you two are astonishingly beautiful looking great in your dresses. Even the moon above is looking at you both through the windows.”
With his light-hearted flattery or perhaps his joke, Nuray cannot help blushed in response. She start fidgeting her fingers as a way to deal with her hormonal feelings. But Ai just laughed it away with her waving hand.
[“Oh Yuyu, you’re such a tease.”] She opens her paper fan to hide her face like a lady of the old orient.
Austria-Bohemia-Hungary wrote:Having settled down in the Blue Room with the darjeeling conversation started. Naturally it was firstly to update on what her old unit has been doing and then moving on to other subjects.
"So ladies. What have you been doing in my absence so far? I've read you've been in Odessa."
A very tricky subject, Nuray, Yusheng and Aigiarn exchanged their uneasy glances. The 501st adventures in Odessa has some fair shares of mayhems, one comes after another. Two started off by Oksana and lastly getting attack by the terrorist organisation ‘World United’. The World United they can talk about it, but Oksana? They’re not sure it’s alright to talk it over with their 501st teammates. They don’t want or wish to drag their friends into their problems. However, certain individuals have taken great notice of the odd occurrences, Adela for exampled tried to interrogate Nunu for answers back in the last operation.
“Ahem, Odessa is great. May be cold but the sceneries over there is beautiful, makes me want to visit there again. And the last Anti-Neuroi underwater operation is a success.” Ai replied to Sybil, though as a way to dodge questions regarding Oksana.
“Evet (Yes). Thank Allah for that. If it wasn’t for us the noble 501st, who can stop the accursed Neurois from burning our world?” Nuray adds in. “Though the appearance of the terrorists the ‘World United’ have almost ruined our operation. But by Allah, we all survived and Katsumi is in the hospital. Anyhow, we’re alright.”
“Well then, why not celebrate this occasion?” Ai chirped. “We don’t get these parties every day~. Let’s just enjoy to the fullest, anyone here agrees?”
“Allahu Akbar. But I don’t drink alcohol.” Yusheng grumbled.
“Erm, same here. Can we have something non-alcoholic?” Nuray said meekly, feeling embarrassed. “Water will be fine.”
Spotting Hanna in their sights, the two best friends cursed themselves for their carelessness. They forgot there’s a mind-reading witch nearby. All they can hope she understood their dilemmas.
