[ Hilda would simply perish if she thought that it came across backhanded. But also, she does sadly have the capacity to be catty when situations call for it. Thankfully this isn't one of them. ]
Luckily there's an amazing thing here that the spas offer called facials that we can take advantage of. I haven't had anything awful happen to me there yet so it should be fine.
[ Famous last words?
Despite a tendency to act like she was the airhead she's made herself out to be she can read between the lines. Years of being schooled in such ways and being generally perceptive and aware of social situations makes it impossible not to. ]
I'd never want to either. And not just for the reason that I'd still prefer to do as little physical activity as possible. Which is to say that that works just fine for me. Mercie and Edelgard are both here too - have you seen them, yet?
[ ah, well. it's not as if manuela can fault hilda for her claws. any woman who has ever had to stand on her own has had to grow some, after all. it's just the unfortunate truth of the world. ]
Facials, you say?
[ manuela is. familiar with a different sort, but. ]
That sounds like a wonderful way to pass the time. Far better than anything else this place has offered me thus far, anyway. We'll have to go together one day. ]
[ hilda's deference is a mercy manuela doesn't quite deserve, but she will selfishly grasp for it anyway. later — much later, hopefully — they will have a proper talk, as they ought to... but not now. not if manuela can still help it. ]
Edelgard, yes. Mercedes, I've yet to meet, though I'm sure it will only be a matter of time.
[ she pauses to consider their... motley crew. ]
There seems to be no rhyme or reason who winds up here, does there.
[ Unfortunately Hilda would still prefer that no one knows she's got claws. As far as she'd like the world to believe, she's as hapless as a baby duckling. Or anything without sharp teeth. ]
Yes! Er, but not the...other kind. The normal kind. With skincare products and massages. Normal massages. We'll go once you're settled - or use it as a way to get you settled into some kind of normlacy.
[ Listen...they both have the same mind that dances along the lines of the gutter if not in it. ]
There really isn't. And I've never been one for patterns but there's none there that I can see. Sylvain was here for a while until recently. And from what I understand Lorenz, Hubert, Linhardt and Ashe were here too but I only overlapped with Ashe.
[ they all certainly have their own way of navigating the world, don't they? some armor is simply better concealed than others. ]
Consider it a date, then. I find myself with very little to do here, but I suppose I ought to take some time to acquaint myself with the space before I start properly languishing.
[ it's a far more responsible outlook than she would perhaps fall into so readily, but she's just as unwilling to be caught unawares. fortunately, at least in this instance, her wariness wins out over her laziness. ]
I see... Now it's just us girls. All the more reason to stick together, then.
Great! And you wouldn't be the only one here without much to do. But from what I've seen, a lot of people have been taking up new hobbies or taking up old ones they haven't had a chance to indulge in.
[ If there is any calling Hilda would happily take on in life, it's encouraging laziness. ]
I suppose you're right. Although I don't feel like Edelgard needs any looking after - especially from me of all people. And yourself and Mercedes are the ones with the healing touch. I never did excel at Faith magic.
Old hobbies, you say? What are the chances there'd be any use of an opera company here?
[ she's. mostly joking. perhaps if dorothea were around, she might humor the thought a little more, but she gets a sense from the atmosphere of the resort that her brand of entertainment might be considered a little too old-fashioned. ]
Then it's a fortunate thing that comfort can come in many different forms.
I think you'd be surprised. There's people here from all walks of life. And really, who wouldn't want to hear you sing?
[ And no this isn't her just hyping her up for the sake of it. There's a belief in what she's saying. ]
Hmm... you mean like tea? I have a new one that I've been meaning to try. If you wanted to come by and had nothing else better to do, I'd love the company.

🎀 puts a pretty little bow on this one
[ ha ha it happens all the time ]
Tea sounds lovely. Drop me your coordinates on these funny little watches, will you? I've just about got the hang of it.
