[There's a slightly disgruntled face on the video feed, mouth forming a full-on pout as she waits impatiently for it to indicate its recording.]

Ah, there! Need, ehh... [She trails off and scrunches her nose, trying to think of the right word. Dammit, she heard it all the time--] Moon--Chroma! Moonlace! For Chroma! [She looks momentarily pleased at having gotten it right before going right back to scowling]

So stupid! Clothes, clothes, clothes! Yell at me all the time to wear, but never give! Got seven things, but have worn them all. Need more!

[Her tank top seems slightly rumbled from being worn most of the day, but otherwise okay. The real question is, what happened to the seven other pairs of clothes she'd worn before?]

So stupid! You humans and your clothing, what is point? [She stamps her foot for added emphasis for her annoyance and then immediately cringes like the motion caused her pain and she takes a seat instead.]

Need chroma, soon. Can kiss or hold hands or [She flaps her hand dismissively] Whatever! Need seven more clothes, at least.

Oona? [ What the heck is this, what is going on ... Well, she's pretty much exactly the same as he remembers in their last encounter. ]

Wait, what happened to my jacket? [ girl pls tell him u didn't burn it. That's like his signature look. ]

Mean, 'my' jacket, yes? [HER JACKET NOW.]

Have it! At home. But can not wear it always too. But do not want to get rid of it, because is gift... [But she can't wear it 24/7 it'll get smelly and dirty too...]

It --!! It wasn't a gift ...

[ This is killing him. Even if it wasn't a gift she does seem to appreciate it, and that makes him a little soft. It just feels really mean to force her to give it back.

Goodbye, signature Jojo look. He can probably hunt for a similar one if he tries really hard. ]

Okay, I get wanting new clothes, [ He ALWAYS wants new clothes. ] but if you're in desperate need for clothes you could always wash the ones you have...

[He was still getting used to things so he didn't quite get exactly what she needed, but he could at least try and answer a question.]

For protection against the elements and modesty. Why do you need more clothes if you already have some though?

[ It's a bit of shaky cam but listen, he's getting used to this stuff okay?]

Wouldn't you be cold with no clothes?

[She blinks owlishly at him with a quiet 'hmm?' Did he say something?? ~~Just get her a similar jacket and trade it back, it's fine.~~

She makes a slight face] Wash? [She knows what it MEANS, but--] Dump on soap? In water?

[Exasperated, as if somehow Komaeda's the one asking the strange questions here:]

Because have already worn! Get dirty, or they start to smell bad. Can not keep wearing!

Nope! [She shakes her head]

Where lived before, was very very cold. Used to it! But, suppose human bodies are different. You are so, hmm, what is word... Easy to break...? [Fragile, the word she's looking for is fragile]

I can hook you up with some more free hugs, but do you just not... do laundry?

[She looks pleased at the offer and then immediately makes a confused face]

What is 'laundry'?

Maybe you need to find something comfortable to wear.

Easy to break....?

[ That's....something.]

Can you not wash your clothes?

If you need help, I'm glad to. Just get ones you like! That can even be more than seven.

Do you not normally wear clothes, though?

Human clothes are not... [She pouts about it. She’s yet to find comfy human clothes]

Wash? [She sounds confused. So. That’s a no]

Well of course they get dirty. You have to wash them after you wear them, you don't need to infinitely buy more. That's such a waste.

Am mermaid! Before turn human, did not have need. Why wear clothes in water? So heavy!

[She wrinkles her nose and shakes her head]

[She frowns, brow furrowing]

Wash? Rub with soap thing?

There's that, but it would be better to use a washing machine and detergent.

[Was this really such a new concept?]

You should do it at least once a week if you have seven pairs of clothes.

Okay, just. Dunk 'em in water, scrub 'em with some soap until all the dirt and sweat comes out, then rinse the soap out and hang 'em up to dry.

Not too hard.

[ IT'S NOT FUCKING ROCKET SCIENCE SHEESH although no one has taught Nakari to use the washing machine apparently. ]

[...when he considers it, it makes sense that she wouldn't know how to do laundry. Why would a mermaid do laundry? It sounds as if she didn't even wear clothes before and if she didn't wear clothes how would she know to wash them?

But since he's offered to teach her he has an Obligation to make sure she's taken care of.

So, after fumbling for a bit, he manages to reply.]

I can come moonlace with you. If you still like the clothes you had before I can show you how to wash them.

[Says possibly the last person who should be teaching anyone about how to do laundry.]

A mermaid?

[ w o a h -- ]

Yeah, uh, I've never heard of mermaid wearing clothes, but... people on land do. I mean, maybe just get some shorts and a t-shirt or something. It's not like you'd be wearing a lot.

[She perks up immediately] Yes, yes, moonlace! Will kiss you. [She says this matter of factly, like obviously of course she's going to kiss him, this is just how it's going to go.

Her brow furrows a bit though and she tilts her head] Do not feel very... Eh, what is word... Do not really care. They are nice, but want pretty clothes too. [She perks up again] Like yours'! But, also, too many of them... Do not like being covered so much...

[And then, belatedly:] You know how to wash?

[Her brow furrows even more to the point she looks more distressed than anything] Do not understand... Machine? To wash?

Better than by hand. So much work... Why are you humans like this. [SIGHS DEEPLY.]

[She listens to this for a moment before blowing a raspberry with her tongue and looking pouty again]

Sounds like work. Is much easier to just buy clothes. Even easier to just take. [SIGH. money and clothing are oppressing Oona specifically]

Wear, ehh... What is called... 'Tank top,' and those 'shorts.' Do not like them overly much, but people do not yell at me much if wear them. Except to ask if am cold. Always if am cold!

[She rolls her eyes as if this is SO SILLY, stupid humans, sheesh.]

But, they get dirty so easily. Can not wear same thing too long, move onto next one. Then, run out!
