[ Baby drop.... is fine. The splash is small.

Kainé wants a bigger drop. ]

It's a little slow.

[ Also, the ride aesthetic is.... something. The music is also something. ]

A little creepy.

[ Not scary, but weird creepy. ]

[amain]

... I don't really understand where we're supposed to be.

[ Nier doesn't get the theme and he reads a lot of books, just not helpful books. Sometimes we only love fictional stories. ]

The countryside?

[ But it's winding up to be a bigger fall soon, which has him on edge. ]

[overshaded]

Maybe.

[ It's nothing like their countryside, at least. Didney be weird. This is a new opinion. Something else to attribute to Mickey Mouse.

If he's on edge, does he want to hold her hand? She offers it to him. ]

[amain]

Kind of... I guess they would call it cartoon-ish?

[ He learned this in Wiwaldi when he was looking stuff up on anime! Anyway, he sees that hand and tilts his head. ]

I'll be fine, Kainé. Thank you.

[ He has to show her he's strong, but then this is the medium drop and he instantly snatches her hand without thinking. ]

[overshaded]

Like the anime Ichiro and Riku like?

[ This is the extent of what she knows. Via osmosis.

Anyway, Nier is weak, but it's cute. She won't comment on it, just squeezes his hand to tell him she knew he'd be like this. She likes this drop more, and it shows. Even if they get splashed more.

A little water never hurt her. ]

[amain]

Yeah, except from a different land of origin.

[ Fortunately, Nier's jacket will protect her from the splash... Unless she just dunks herself into water. The squeeze has him recognizing that he's holding onto her hand, but he has no heart to take it back. It would even be more noticeable that he was definitely spooked. ]

The music makes it seem cute, but this is...

[ They're going up a big slope now. ]

[overshaded]

[ She's feral, but she's not that feral. She also thinks it's cute that he was spooked. Or maybe she's just taken to thinking he's cute in general. ]

The music isn't cute.

[ It does not make her comfortable at all, but at least she's not here for the music. Her eyes all but sparkle at how tall this slope looks. ]

[amain]

[ Nier is a wholesome boy so I will take the compliment for him despite how he is lowkey feral. ]

It doesn't make me scared is probably a better way to say it—[ And they drop and Nier is clinging for dear life. ]

[overshaded]

[ He has to be at least a little feral to be with Kainé, but on the whole he is a more wholesome person than she is.

She laughs as they drop, letting him cling to her however he pleases. They're going to get soaked, but it's okay. They hit the bottom, and there is no saving them. ]

Not the music, but the drop, yeah?

[ Her hair is plastered, and not even his coat can fend off all of the water. ]

[amain]

… Yeah.

[ Nier has gone faster than this, but again it’s about control. They have known on this weird mechanical death trap and it makes him lowkey nervous.

It’s fun, though! He’s having fun, enjoying how his heart paces so much faster, but it doesn’t show on his face as much. ]

Is that the last?

[overshaded]

Think so.

[ She looks ahead of them to all the seats in front of them. ]

Looks like they're about to tell us to get the fuck out.

[ She brushes her hair out of her face. ]

Another one?

[amain]

Yeah. I saw that there's another "mountain" ride.

[ It looks like they're going to get off, but before Nier takes out the map he's going to fix his hair so he can see better. Now back to looking... ]

This one is called Big Thunder Mountain? That sounds pretty promising.

[overshaded]

[ i can't remember if i've been on big thunder mountain.... i feel like it was closed for some reason the last time i went.

Anyway, she nods. ]

I wanna dry off a little. Let's walk around first.

[ Sitting in another roller coaster while this wet sounds uncomfortable. ]

[amain]

[ It is just a train railroad-esque rollercoaster that goes around a mountain in and out of tunnels, I think. ]

Sure. That sounds like a good idea. [ Speaking of— ] We should get some souvenirs for Emil, even though I want us all to come here together one day.

[ He'd get one for Yonah, but he wants didney to be an entire surprise for her. ]

[overshaded]

Yeah.

[ Emil would like that. ]

Some accessories. [ To pin onto his cloak. ] The ears would be good on him.

[amain]

I did see some pins over here...

[ They are pricey, but it's fine. They have gold and fief money. He tilts his head and looks at the assortment. ]

We don't want too many that it might weigh down his cloak, right? Maybe one really pretty one? Or three? [ IT'S ALWAYS 1 OR 3. ] Oh, the headband. There are also so many.

[ ASSORTMENTS ARE A MISTAKE. ]

[overshaded]

Three.

[ Emil deserves the best and many. She is wiling to give the mouse money if it means Emil will be happy. ]

He'd like something with the princesses.

[ He would want to be a Didney princess with Nier as his prince. Kainé knows without a doubt. ]

[amain]

Three, then.

[ Maybe they'll get a pretty matching set for Emil. Nier will look out for that and leave Kainé to pick the best Mickey Mouse ears.

of course, being Nier, he doesn't know the truth about Emil. ]

Wouldn't he want the other ones?

[ why princesses. ]

[overshaded]

[ HELLO I FOUND THE MOST PERFECT ONES FOR EMIL

She glances over at him sharply. ]

There's nothing wrong with him wanting something with the princesses.

[ you are on thin ice, buddy. ]

[amain]

[ Perfect... Nier will now learn about Emil's preferences after so many years and he startles at Kainé's defensiveness. ]

I didn't... Say there was anything wrong.

[ Wow. ]

[overshaded]

[ Nier, you dumb oblivious buffoon.... Emil probably has other tastes, but Kainé is here to support the less socially accepted ones.

She frowns at him. ]

Just keep it in mind.

[amain]

[ ... It's dawning on him— ]

Does this mean Emil wanted to be the bride?

[overshaded]

What?

[ Kainé wasn't in the room when Nier had that conversation with Emil.

But she can hazard a guess. ]

Yeah.

[ Probably. ]

[amain]

[ It's okay. Nier can explain as he rings up the cashier for these matching pin sets! They're cute and they're also silver. It will match Emil's cloak and whatever he wants to wear them on well. ]

You weren't there, but Emil mentioned being envious over the king and Fyra... I thought he wanted to be the groom.

[overshaded]

He'd be fine being a groom.

[ So long as his bride is a boy.

But if Nier hasn't connected the dots, she's not going to out Emil when he's not around to consent to it. ]
