[The woman who raised her, anyway. And maybe it was years ago, a childhood memory of the elderly woman tapping her leg, laughing and holding her hands out to cup her hoof for filing... but it's warm. Makes her hearts tighten a bit in homesickness for the village she might never see again...
But she doesn't say that. Instead, she smiles, releasing him... but not totally, still holding him by the arms.]
[ It would be hard to say with certainty that he looks excited when he looks around, obviously. Laser pointers don't convey wonderment real well. But he does do it again, arms in hers, as if he's seeing it all for the first time.
And he kind of is. Whether the influx of Chroma has turbocharged Simon's sense of vision or he's been Chroma-starved long enough to get used to what it looks like, the sharp early-afternoon shadows look sharper, and even Konoha is a rainbow unto herself. Of browns and neutrals, mostly, but still. ]
Yeah! Yeah. That's why I'm here. [ he's seeing leaves he didn't know existed. her lucky sock is so white. ] Wow. Everything looks so clear. Did hugging do that?
[ It's almost like Chroma is literal life energy and they just discussed that or something. Anyway. ]
[Konoha knows she maybe shouldn't, but she can't help but laugh a little at what Simon says, the way he wonders over the effects of moonlacing as if they hadn't talked about it.]
Basically.
[She never tried to understand it beyond that, she knew her own limitations and her own intelligence... basically. But moonlacing helped basically everything in this place, it even helped crops grow, so.
Moonlacing was the answer.]
Now come on... Everything will look even better now!
[From the main house to the fresh vegetables growing in the fields. Maybe it wasn't the sort of home Simon was used to... But she wanted him to be.
