[ there's darkness for a moment before the camera clicks on to yukari, seated at what looks to be a kitchen table and holding a small potted succulent in her hand. the large deer antlers and rabbit ears atop her head are proof enough that it's iris, one of them twitching toward a noise off screen while she settles back in her chair.

satisfied that it's recording, she gives a little wave to the camera with her free hand. ]

Hey, everyone. So this "taking care of plants" thing is still pretty new to me, but he looks kind of sick, right? [ she holds the plant closer to the camera for confirmation, and she's right, it seems under the weather for a succulent. a few of the leaves at the bottom are yellow and look swollen, and when she brushes a finger against one of them, it pops off with no resistance.]

I'm not really sure what's wrong with him. Everything was fine a few weeks ago. [ her mouth turns down into a worried frown, brows knitting together as she turns her gaze from the plant back to the camera. ] If anybody has advice, I'm open to it. Tips would be great, too. Or...I dunno, anything.

It's a 'him', is it?

[piercedyourheart]

[ yukari fidgets in her chair, trying and failing to hide the embarrassed flush on her cheeks. ]

Y-yeah. One day, I went from saying "it" to "he" and it's been that way ever since. I can't even tell you when it happened.

[suchpersistence]

( Oh. That's an interesting reaction. )

Does he have a name?

[piercedyourheart]

[ her rabbit ears twitch with irritation as her flush gets even deeper. dammit. mitsuru wouldn't laugh at her, right?

well, she might chuckle in that subdued way of hers, but she won't outright laugh yukari out of the room so it's better than nothing. she huffs and her ears flick again. let's just do this thing. ]

Junpei, [ she mumbles in a pathetic tone. ]

[suchpersistence]

( Mitsuru's eyebrows lift in surprise, but to her credit, she doesn't laugh. )

Is there one named after me as well?

[piercedyourheart]

[ hey, no laughter! her ears perk up as a smile spreads across yukari's face. ]

Not yet, but...you see what I've done to Junpei. You sure you want to take the risk?

[suchpersistence]

Certainly. If anything, I'm envious Iori received a namesake before I did.

( Now, she laughs, but it's soft and brief. )

I suppose he requires more looking after.
