@Fukutomi Tsukiᵇᵉᵗᵃ Yurane tilted her head out of curiosity. "Work? What do you do?" She asked before offering a wide smile at the other girl's cute excited reaction to their introduction. "Mmm, I didn't have much luck with plants either. There're so many details and it's so hard to figure out what they need, I can't keep up. I love flowers but I feel sad knowing I'll definitely kill them. I wish I had a pet but I live with my parents and they never let me... I'm getting one as soon as I move out though!"

[ ] sorry for the wait, i put this character on hiatus as my muse was nowhere to be seen

@Seto Yuraneᵃˡᵖʰᵃ Tsuki chuckled softly. “Yeah, I learn lots of weird facts at work sometimes.” she hummed softly nodding at the girls name and shaking her hand energetically. “Yurane? It’s a pleasure!” she exclaimed before laughing again. “No, no pets for me. I had sea monkeys and they died, then I had house plants and they died too.” she shook her head. “I haven’t tried keeping anything alive since then… You?”

@Fukutomi Tsukiᵇᵉᵗᵃ Yurane couldn't help turning to the other girl, it was written all over her face how surprised and interested she was in the new information. "I didn't know, you know a lot about fishes, don't you? You're making me wanna take all of them home!" She replied excitedly, the fish inside the tank dispersing as her finger was now away from the glass. "Nice to meet you, Tsuki, I'm Yurane." One of her palms met that of her new acquaintance in a handshake, while she offered a gentle, warm smile. "Do you have any pets? You must like animals a lot."

@Seto Yuraneᵃˡᵖʰᵃ Tsuki chuckled softly, turning her attention fully to the other girl. “They’re really so pretty, and peaceful. It’s just a shame the tanks aren’t bigger… this is just a temporary home for them though!” she nodded, watching the girl leading the fish around with her fingers. “Did you know there are some fish that can bond with their caretakers and follow them, even without the motivation of food?” she mused before holding out a hand as a greeting. “I’m Tsuki, it’s nice to meet you!”

@Fukutomi Tsukiᵇᵉᵗᵃ "I do, they're very cute and pretty. I love their colors," said Yurane before returning her gaze to the fish tank, not wanting to disturb the interaction between the girl and the fish for long. The explanation about the animals' behavior was completely new to her and she paid close attention despite still having her eyes on the swimming little creatures. "Ohhh, is that so? I had no idea. I'll try it then. I hope they like me as much as they like you." She enthusiastically moved over to the other tank, carefully placing her fingertip close to the glass. No fish seemed to care at first, until the path of her finger crossed with a curious little guy who started following her around. It didn't take long for a few others to follow. "Look, look, they're coming," she said with a smile, as if she was a child again.

@Seto Yuraneᵃˡᵖʰᵃ Hearing the voice, Tsuki paused and turned to look at the woman grinning slightly. “You like the fish too?” she questioned before turning her attention back to the tetras. “I think it’s a feeding response. You know, they got used to fingers meaning they’re about to get fed? Try with the cichlids, they might do the same!” she grinned as she spoke, pointing to one of the nearby tanks.

@Fukutomi Tsukiᵇᵉᵗᵃ Yurane could be often found shopping for clothes or cute stationery during her free time, and that day her stop was at the mall. After strolling around enough to get her a new dress and snacks, her final destination was the pet shop. Seeing the birds and hamsters always brought her joy even though she could only interact with them through their cages. Her parents never let her have a pet despite the innumerous times she had begged for one, so that was the best she could get. As she walked over to the fish section, the sight brought a smile to her features. "They really like you," she said as she turned to the girl playing with the brightly colored fishes. "So cute."

@Seto Yuraneᵃˡᵖʰᵃ It was one of the days that Tsuki was free in the afternoon, and today she’d needed things from the mall, and that’s where she’d spent most of her afternoon. Now however she had grown bored of shopping and was heading for the exit when the pet shop came into view, immediately grabbing her attention and drawing her into it.
She had sighed to herself as she glanced around the large store and immediately began heading towards the back left corner of the store where she knew they kept the fish, snails, corals and other aquatic animals and plants, and very soon she found herself at the tank filled with neon tetras, chuckling slightly as they followed her finger which she was making sure to keep off the glass as she slowly moved it from one side of the tank to the other.
