Personally I would argue fascinating is a better compliment than nice.

But I suppose that's me.

Nice just seems too small.

And sometimes of course it's deliberately small in order to be deflective.

Kitchen -> Main Room

(Hey look Shantae - it's your alternate universe emo version, coming in from the kitchen with a thermos in hand and starting for the basement door. She only spares a brief glance at Shantae's shenanigans.)

The damned queen and the relentless knight.

... -unimpressed- I see.

That's not usually one's conduct with friends.

Though I haven't really had a compliment on my looks in years- there's not much to look at.

-shrugs- Maybe I'm biased and cynical.

Main Room -> Basement

(Doesn't seem like Homura noticed Shantae following her. At any rate, Homura heads downstairs into the basement, apparently heading for the pool this time.)

-just stares at her for a moment-

Your body's good too- very well crafted to represent a human, and your choice of clothes is modern and in keeping with the times.

Mine isn't.

This coat was new in 1885, I got it second-hand in an Emporium on Oxford Street. Same with the hat.

"That just makes it...vintage?"

{Going to the pool...but no swim suit or towel. I smell a mystery.}

-The mouse continues following Homura, taking cover behind random small objects to hide if Homura turns around (or just if Shantae feels like acting like a geek while sneaking)-

More like Antique, if you ask me.

Regardless, I only wear this because it's what I'm used to.

You wouldn't catch me dead in modern fashions, unless I absolutely needed to blend into a crowd.

"Well, 'modern' is really just a societal construct that's kinda relative to your planet's own specific time period, but since the universe resets when it's finished that means that 'modern' can mean different things even in the same year if it's a different loop and-"

Pool

(Homura reaches the pool - which, let's be honest, Shantae, is a bit threadbare in terms of decoration but a fairly decent size - and goes to the top step covered by water so that only her feet are wet. She begins unscrewing the cap of the thermos, her back towards Shantae's position.)

Yes, I'm familiar with how modernity can change.

It used to be modern to embrace eugenics, but that fashion died out after the second world war, thank god.

Pool

(Given that the only thing that poured out of the thermos was apparently water, probably not. However, after the thermos was emptied Homura stopped and look into it as if she was expecting something else to come out - it was apparently stuck. She shook the thermos a couple times and nearly plunged off the stepboard into the deeper parts of the pool after grabbing something that, for a split second to Shantae, looked like a small, blue stone or something. With both hands - the thermos dropped into the water. Homura didn't seem to care anymore about the thermos, cupping whatever came out with both hands as she slowly brought it towards the pool.)

Homura: Did you grow in there...?

-Has gone back upstairs to look for loose change. And not-so-loose change. And paper. And anything else potentially valuable-

Pool

Homura: (lowers the blue thing onto the top step, then steps back and sits on the dry edge, letting the thing jostle back and forth with whatever waves her feet and the filtration pump enact on it) ... (Is just sitting there watching the thing in silence mostly, taking an occasional look around to see if anyone else is there)

(How well can Shantae sense magic?)

-The games are never very clear on that but she does absorb a significant amount in Pirate's Curse, so I'll go with a faint idea of it-

{Definitely magic...I wanna get closer but she'll spot me if I do...hmm...}

Pool

(Maybe that towel rack to your left? Or the table to your right - better angle, but you'd be kinda open without much cover if she sees you.)

It was in our society's interests to cooperate... with Nazi Germany.

Though I, and another Peer- respectfully declined any involvement.

And thankfully, we were allowed to remain un-involved with any business that was in cooperation with them- or forwarding the interests of the Germans.

I myself- do not agree with autocracy, and am an Albino. I naturally had problems with their rhetoric.

My peer- was ethnically Jewish.
