Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately), Erytheia wasn't entirely alone this evening.

Aogashima had slipped out of the house again, away from the watchful eye of her older sister, who still had no idea about her younger sibling's nightly adventures. Of course, Aogashima's adventures were less keeping order and peace and more... practicing her self-made idol performance routines. Admittedly, cold weather made it hard to get started, but dancing helped to warm up, and she couldn't always practice at home, not when Morie was around.

Fortunately, nighttime was a time of night that not many people were out and about, so she could practice in peace, though she still dreamed of performing for an audience someday. With a bluetooth speaker connected to her phone, that she had brought with her for the sake playing her songs, Aogashima was, naturally, practicing. As future idols were prone to do, or something.

"I can hear
The voice that heeds no master
From somewhere in the sky
I'm sure
It's trying
To address someone…"

Just like last time, someone had been drawn to her performance, and judging from the colors they wore, they... were part of the Cosmos idol group she was in, except they were... a boy? Idol groups weren't generally co-ed, and Aogashima was confused, but maybe things were different in the West.

Pausing the song on her phone, and switching off the wireless mic she had brought with her, Aogashima beamed, ready to answer his question. "I'm rehearsing!" she replied cheerfully, as if this was a natural thing for her to be doing at night, "I mean... my sister doesn't really approve of me being an idol, so she always gets on my case when I try to practice at home, and Rune was too busy to come over..."

She still didn't get what was so hard for her sister to understand, to support the dreams of the little sister to become an idol. All Morie cared about was studying, it seemed, and getting some fancy degree or something like that.

"I'm working really hard, so I can one day become center!"

The two continued their conversation for quite some time before he thanked the young page of Cosmos and Erytheia came to understand what the first line meant: he must follow his heart.
