[Deep down, Vira-Lorr knew that one thing that would help Makoto deal and cope with what Reaper had said was the fact that she had allowed herself to move on. And, when Setsuna had expressed interest, had been allowing herself to consider it seriously. She was just taking it slower, letting it percolate instead of charging in the way she had with Makoto. It had seemed wisest or them both, and they had enough years ahead to not be hurried. Either way, though, something like this? It would let her know that Reaper was wrong. The pain didn't last.]

Mmmm, the refreshments WERE fun weren't they? Actually Setsuna and I spent more time on the beech, just lounging like a pair of old bums. It was great. She let me apply lotion on her back.

[And suddenly, Vira's face was the one going red.]

We didn't actually dance much, but we spent a lot of time together.
