[Maybe Fie can serve as an example of someone who is just... comfortable with themselves and who they are and what they feel. From the outside, it's like everything comes easily to her- which is one of the reasons Shinjiro first enjoyed hanging out with her.

[The tail was definitely cute, though. In general, that is. Thick and fluffy and spotted, and for some reason looking right at home on her.

Finally, he plants a hand on the grass, before shoving himself upright and offering a hand down to her. Not that Fie needs it, but... whatever.]

Alright. Let's explore an abandoned house.
