[complementing]

[Minako sends a fond smile in Kaede's direction, finishing her sandwich with a pleased sigh. Her appetite has been absolutely ravenous the past twenty minutes, and despite her obvious attempts at being polite, she's already eaten a good third of the picnic basket. Spring is the season when many Monsters are invigorated and active, but it seems to have an acute effect on this particular Witch, too. She loves being out and about in the spring, and her usual eating habits, already incredulous by normal standards, seem to exceed their limits until she becomes a black hole for food.

After eating so much, she's feeling quite content and comfortable, perfectly willing to be a little hedonistic and bask in the feeling. And when she senses that Kaede wants Minako to pay attention to her, how could she deny her? Leaning back on one arm, she reaches out with the other to sweep a section of her Monster's tail over her lap, smoothing them out so they fan out over her thighs.]

Not really, but let me do this anyway. Look at how gorgeous this color is! I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing you and the other Monsters brighten up in the warm seasons.

[She runs her hand over the feathers, finally satisfying the temptation to touch and inspect them ever since they met up at the park. Minako often takes inspiration from Kaede's subtle changes in coloring for various artistic projects of hers, from making tiny knit animals to decorations for weekly desserts. This season they're more breathtaking than usual, and that deserves an equally special project.]

Hmm...maybe some kind of jewelry this time? I don't know anything about metalworking, but I'm sure it can't be too hard.

[The Chimera had been about to teasingly nudge her Witch in the side, but she looked so relaxed Kaede had some second thoughts. And before she could untangle them, Minako picked up her tail herself, draping the long feathers over her lap. Kaede's end of the Bond rippled with little warm bubbles, like a late spring brook that'd shaken off the chill of melting ice.]

Would you like some after I molt? You could make another hat.

[But rather than a cursory examination, Minako left the Monster's tail where it was--stroked it, even. The little tickles and sparks of mana seeping through were tantalizing, and left Kaede feeling flustered pink. She was glad the other girl wasn't looking at her just yet; wouldn't do for a witness noticing her going all soft. Behind closed doors and walls to shield from prying eyes, Kaede didn't mind allowing herself enjoying the nice sweet things Minako made, or the embroidered pillows or little plush creatures strewn over the couch.]

I'm sure there's some goldsmiths looking for apprentices this time of year.

[The city was gearing up for the first season of handfasting and betrothal ceremonies, after all. The jewelers were likely stockpiling in advance.]

If it's just shaping wires, it shouldn't be too complicated.
