Reiko nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course they do. The dust gets into the cloth and then... it rots away... into dust." Then she smiled and returned to dusting.

Reiko watched curiously as Ophelia dusted on the other side of the room. "I should really try harder to be her friend," she muttered.

"Hey, I think we have some dresses that just arrived; we should probably dust those too."
After dusting, Ophelia remembered what she was saying awhile ago.
"So, where exactly are you from?"

Reiko's eyes dropped to the floor. "I... I come from Japan. Where are you from?"

"Africa," she said. There was a pause. "I was adopted, like my sister Pale."

"So you and your sister aren't related?" Reiko remembered the slightly older woman that had excepted her into the clan. They had a similar build... she supposed.

"Yep, we're related. We got adopted as a pair. We don't look very similar though, do we? I really didn't even know she was my sister when I saw her a while ago."

"Oh." Reiko sighed. 'Guess it isn't Pale.' "So, after dusting what do we do?"

"Hmmm..." Ophelia thought awhile. "Take a break?"

"And what do we do on our breaks?" Reiko asked softly.

"Drink ice tea!" she said happily. "Here have some!" She grabbed a large pitcher of ice tea from nowhere and handed Reiko a glass.

"Uh... I'd rather not." Reiko laughed slightly.; "I'm not a big fan of ice tea. Thanks for offering though."

"Really? Wow, I'm obsessed with it!" Ophelia poured herself a big glass of tea and swallowed it in one gulp. She poured herself another one.

Reiko stuck her tongue out and closed one eye. "How long do breaks last anyway?"
