Arle would release Viridi after a moment, stuffing her paw-hands into her lap and grinning devilishly at the other in response to her question. Oh so Viridi wanted to go there, did she? Arle promptly put on her best shocked expression and feigned a gasp, turning to Viridi. "Wait, you're a man? I thought I was gay?!" she asked in an over the top and rather camp offended tone of voice, unable to keep a smile from creeping onto her face for long. She shifted to lay upon the egg, curling around it and laying her chip atop it to gaze upon the other.

"Maybe we'll play rock paper scissors for it each morning~"

Viridi gave a bit of a laugh in response to Arle's pretended shock. They did share a similar sense of humor in conversation at least. The Goddess knew there was multiple reasons the girl was an exception. Arle and her definitely had quite a bit to share together... But she still wanted to make sure it was right. "I suppose metaphorically there would be one," Viridi replied.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors huh? So you want to gamble the position in the relationship? That is very bold of you to bet against a Goddess. Leaving things up to chance could be risky for you. Way to live on the edge," Viridi joked as if the matter was more serious than it actually was.

Arle smirked at Viridi from her relaxed position, eyeing her knowingly. "...Variety is the spice of life; it's also the spice of curry." Arle remarked light-heartedly. "But why would we ever deprive Li of it's two prettiest girls~? I say we just keep the men out of it; let them chase someone else for once. I've got you and I wouldn't change a thing." Arle went on to remark, shifting from humor to romance without missing a beat. Romance wasn't really her strongpoint, but she did know how to slip in a really gushy compliment here and there.

"...Actually, I might add some Sake to the mix. I haven't been able to find any since I arrived on Li. Apparently growing rice isn't a big priority around here." Arle went on to lament in defeat, slouching on her egg. That hadn't lasted long.

[Coolshaymin]

Viridi listened to Arle and briefly wondered what she meant leaving the men out of it. Was there an implication of having them get involved with the situation? Well, there was Arlon of course but he wasn't much of a problem anyway. Still, she ended on a rather romantic note which was surprising. It caused a bit of a true smile outside her usually more teasing one. "You won't get any arguments there. Being the only one has a nice feel," Viridi replied.

But then there was apparently Arle's craving for Sake... It was understandable that it would be in low supply. Still, it was a bit of news Arle was into it like she was into curry... Maybe not as much but the lack of it definitely got her down. Viridi stared up at the cieling for a few moments in thought.

Once she was done considering, she rose up and attempted to pet Arle playfully for a second if she allowed her. "Then we are going to have to make our own then. You deserve something after completing your tasks. If they won't make you Sake I guess we will have to!" Viridi suggested.

[Mari]

Arle watched Viridi carefully from her place lazily laying on the egg, leaning in and brushing up against Viridi's hand in response to being pet, which she quietly allowed. It was a very catlike display of affection accompanied by a trilling noise. Wow. That super bell really did mess with her head, it seemed. "Nya~! Really? Nnnnyou're really good to me, Viridi." Arle stammered out, conflicted on how to feel about being spoiled. Had she really earned this, just because she suffered through a horrifying, traumatizing ordeal? ...Well, probably--maybe. But Arle was just slightly too modest to recognize this.

"Mweee could start our own curry hut. It could be my little slice of home away from home." Arle mused aloud, though her gaze fell on that last part. One could see a certain homesickness in her eyes, but she declined to speak her mind for once. She already knew she couldn't go back.

[Coolshaymin]

Yeah, the catlike tendencies of the Super Bell did seem to effect Arle. She had observed it before but it did bring up the question of why it did that. She had the distinct feeling she wasn't intending to act like that. Did that make the powerup some form of mental parasite... It was kind of hard to tell but it was not apparently harmful. There was probably no harm in writing it off. It's not like it had any permanent side effects to her knowledge. It seemed to go away when the suit came off.

"Of course you deserve it. As I said, enduring that was amazing. Besides, it's not like it's that hard to create rice. Not that much more complicated than trees.  Would not take that much effort for me," Viridi replied.

Then Arle brought up the suggestion of a Curry Hut^TM. Well, that is before she mentioned home and lowered her gaze for the moment. Losing your home was really common for people here... But Arle may not even have her home here... She does not know a discovered location that would fit her. Arle was one of those people that seemed to take homesickness hard.

"... If you want to start a Curry shop I guess we have to then. It seems really important to you so who am I to refuse that? Can give us something to raise support and make use of your stardom. Sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe we could even get that glove guy from your act to help," Viridi suggested in an attempt to distract and cheer Arle up.

[Mari]

Arle smiled wistfully in response to Viridi showering her with gifts. She knew what was going on, but only making new friends on Li would heal the homesickness caused by the loss of most of her friends. That, or maybe her friends would wind up here on Li! ...Was that selfish? This place was pretty hardcore compared to her average adventure. She supposed whatever happened, happened regardless of what she wanted. A yawn escaped her mouth, accompanied by a little "...Nya~!" as she wound down for the night, shifting onto ther side and wrapping around the egg.

"...That sounds like something to strive for, Viridi. I--...I guess we'll have to find time in between our missions." she murmured. It didn't seem like she had long left in her.

[Coolshaymin]

"Speaking of which we have to create a plan to make a base for Phosphora," Viridi reminded. She noticed Arle was getting tired and rather than getting up, Arle's response to lie down. She was a cat right now after, sleeping at their "master's" feet felt natural.

"But we can do that tomorrow. You earned yourself a rest. Good night, Arle," Viridi added before closing her eyes. She did not sleep immediately but she did fake it for a moment. Wanted to see if Arle would object before going to sleep. Toying with humans was still fun in it's own right. She would obviously fall asleep if Arle just went with it. She did have the option to refuse and Viridi would leave... if not a bit reluctantly.

[Mari]

Arle was pondered this for a moment. On one hand, sleeping in the same was a pretty big jump for any couple. ...On the other, they were both girls! ...And they slept fully dressed at that! ...Well when Arle thought about it like that, there really wasn't anything to be uncomfortable about here. What was the worst that could happen? She could wake up with Viridi's foot in her face? ...Yeah that sounded about right. It was also a risk she was willing to take.

"Nyaighty nyaight" Arle murmured rather lamely, allowing herself to drift off into dreamland coiled around her precious egg.
