[Ei doesn't really seem to mind it. in fact, she finds the glitter snow new and fascinating, even as she gets stuck with it ending up all over her. she doesn't seem to mind it, in fact, she's helping with the rounding up of it and giving it to the collectors.

she does this with her little dream globe in her hand, with a woman that looks almost exactly like her sitting under a thunder sakura. every now and then the bough flickers with electricity, but it doesn't seem to bother her or the woman in the globe.]

It's a strange phenomena, isn't it?

[she asks whoever decides to walk past her.]

But I do wonder how the skies would be getting the glitter... because isn't it water that brings on rain?

[Ei's completely fine with going to the hot springs. in fact, she hasn't been to one in so long... so she takes the first chance she gets.

she takes off her towel right as she gets into the springs, and for once her hair is piled high and neatly into a bun. the dragons are also fascinating her, so if anybody encounters her there, she'll be watching them very carefully. not in a scared sort of way... but she just looks incredibly interested.]

[she'd been experimenting with dreamotion quite a bit since she'd gotten there -- both sides of it. the assumption is when she comes in there that it's going to be positive dreamotion to fix everything.

but then she's pushed way back by the gale, and some shards even scratches at her arms as she holds them up in front of her face to avoid damage. when it's over, she tilts her head and approaches the shard again, now in smaller pieces.]

An interesting conundrum...

[while dreamotion comes easily to her, given her own dreamwalking experiences back at home, she's still got to get used to it. and even with negative energy -- which is so necessary for life, it's difficult. that sort of energy could bring her back into the abyss she was in before, but... she's too curious about her puzzle at hand to worry too much about it.]
