[ In turn, Rin needs to express herself. Emi thinks it's part of why she's chill with helping Rin with her piercings, and while it doesn't explain all of it - and while she often can't be patient enough to sit and watch Rin muddle over a piece for hours on end - things would go pretty far south for both of them if Rin couldn't paint, or Emi couldn't run. They need to be themselves so badly.

Even if Emi doesn't know why she runs, or why Rin paints; it seems to transcend 'why' into almost being a natural law.

Emi knows Rin well enough to know what that expression means, and is silent, even though she has plenty of quips or comments available, until Rin speaks. It's an odd question, and Emi tilts her head, about to speak, realizes that Rin's changing tack, waits again...

Emi's hardly cognizant of her state of undress or where Rin's looking. Frankly, Emi's not sure that being nude in her human form around Rin is going to be that weird. They're just chilling, and Rin's mulling over something that makes sense. Emi tilts her head the other way. ]

You know, I dunno why we don't, or wouldn't, or shouldn't. [ She looks at her friend - her pretty, blinged out, adorable goblin friend. ]

I mean, I've got a big bear face, and you've got a tiny little goblin face, and I could almost fit your head in my mouth, but, like... it just sorta feels like we haven't... tried to do anything like that just because.
