Keiko was a little concerned by just how much silk that her little spider was making, and had purchased a few books about turning silk into…actual…workable fabric. None of it made sense, but it was a neat idea regardless…and the thought of being able to have such a connection with her world…something made out of the silk of the first creature who had come back to life up there…it…
It made her smile.
The overwhelming feeling of a Knight made the senshi look up and grin, hurrying over to see if she knew them. She didn’t know many Knights so…the chances of it were slim but…
“Oh my God!” The words were gasped out with such reverence and Keiko broke into a run, hurrying over to the pink haired, pink clad Knight. “Your cape is wings! Oh my god you’re so cute! I’m Keiko! Senshi of the Yuki-Onna, you make me want to like, eat cupcakes oh my goddddd!”
Keiko was already reaching out, wanting to touch the cape, but she finally realized that maybe…that was a little rude so she paused and looked to the girl, eyes wide. “May I? I love it!”

Nectaris was a little bit nervous about approaching strangers, since she didn't know if anyone else was gonna be mad about stuff that had happened when she was in the Negaverse and take it out on her now. Luckily it didn't seem like she was gonna have to worry about that this time, since before she even got too close, this girl was already calling out compliments about her outfit. Nectaris giggled. Then, she grinned. "You wanna get cupcakes? We can get cupcakes! Ooooh, can we get ice cream, too? You gotta have both, right? Plus, your outfit makes me think of ice cream. Plus you got an obi? I love Japanese stuff. Like, fashion especially!" She skipped the last couple of feet over, holding her cape out the second it seemed like the other girl was interested. It was very soft, in kinda a silky fabric. "My name's Nectaris, I'm a new Moon Knight."

Keiko grinned right back and reached out to touch the cape, feeling the soft fabric and sighing in contentment. “Oh, wow I love this so much. I would love to go get cupcakes and ice cream with you. You’re a Moon Knight? I didn’t even know we had those!”
Her fingers were still moving softly over the cape, her mind whirling. She could make something like this. She was sure she could, if she could only figure out how to get started…and maybe…Nectaris would be willing to help her? As a model or as someone to just be a guinea pig with getting the silk turned into fabric…figuring out how to dye it…being the one to get the first…whatever.
“I know a great late night sweets shop, I’m not sure if they’ll have cupcakes but, they have cookies and ice cream and make the best cookie sandwiches that I’ve ever had, if you’d like to come with me? I want to know all about you, and I very much hope that we can be friends?”

"Yeah, there's Moon Knights," said Nectaris, holding up her staff for proof since it had the giant moons on the ends. "I didn't know that we were rare or anything, my friend Encke said he knew another one. I dunno much about, like, what types of knights there are, though." She'd only been a Knight for a couple of weeks, after all. Keiko wanted to know about her, and Nectaris found herself chewing on her bottom lip a little bit. It was pretty obvious that the other girl didn't know who she'd been before, and she wasn't exactly gonna be able to hide it if she started asking questions. Hopefully she wasn't gonna get mad about it like Cybele had. "So there's actually kinda a lot I don't remember? I was, uh. In the Negaverse until super recently. Just wanna get that on the table," she said, and glanced to the ground. Please don't be weird about it, she thought. She was so cool, she didn't know what she was gonna do if she turned out to be weird about it. "But, if that doesn't freak you out, then, yes. Totally cookie time, and, like, friends!"

Keiko’s eyes lit up. “Encke? Oh s**t, he’s one of my best friends! That’s awesome! I’ve met a few, a Jupiter one and a Mercury one…I figure most of them come from the different planets, you know?”
She nodded and reached out, tugging one of Nectaris’s curls gently. “Hey, I’m glad that you were able to get out. That takes a whole lot of courage and strength, and I’m proud of you, Nec. Seriously!”
It did bother her though, that such a statement had seemed to be such a great confession from the poor Knight. That…shouldn’t happen. She shouldn’t be ashamed of who she was. Of the fact that she was stuck. She made the choice to take the chance and leave the chaos behind…that…made her quite astounding, honestly.
“I doubt you could ever freak me out, and if someone was, that sounds like a big problem on them, not you. You can’t help who found you first in this war. But you can help your choices, and you chose to leave the chaos behind, so that’s epic. So yes. Cookie and friend time. Do you have time now? I know we talked about it, but I don’t want to just grab your hand and start running towards sweets if you don’t actually have the time to get some.”

Oh. She wasn't mad. She thought that she was strong for getting out, and on top of that, she was one of Encke's best friends! Since she was playing with her hair and clothes, Nectaris took the chance to throw an arm around her shoulder. "Okay I'm actually kinda glad you're cool about it, 'cause you're so nice. And yeah, I guess it makes sense that there's knights for most of the planets, but the moon's like, almost a planet, right?" She knew it wasn't scientifically a planet, but it was at least as cool as a planet, if not cooler. "And yeah, it's totally cookie time, right now." She grabbed Keiko's hand and started to jog, only to stop short a couple of steps later. "Wait. I dunno where this place is." This was really, really nice. It kinda felt like talking to some of her old school friends, the ones who wouldn't know who she was now that she had her new glamour.

Keiko laughed, utterly delighted and let her powered form drop, squeezing the hand that Nectaris had put into hers. “I do, so don’t worry! Come on, and we’ll have a great night!” She tugged the Knight along, eager to learn more, eager to really be friends. She was going to talk to Encke about her, obviously, but…now she really wanted ice cream and cookies.
And was thrilled to have someone to share them with.
