[She's been listening intently for like 80% of the conversation... admittedly, there have been moments where she's drifted a little bit, lost in thought or disconnected enough from what was being said. But she's like a mouse listening to Yingying most of the afternoon, so she caught all of that.
Since Yingying has had Furina in her sights the entire time they've been here, maybe she should have a vested interest in keeping her distance. Which...she does! Maybe she'll be happier outside of the house...with someone who hs her sense of humor.]
... There really are a lot of performers assembled here. You've made good choices. Not only is this going to drive press and ratings, but if it holds true that we have producers pushing for dramatic moments, this would start us off with a bang.
[ She tilts her head. With Luka, yes, she could see that. That seems to be about the only thing he's interested in participating in for the show; she's not so arrogant to think his behavior towards her has anything to do with her personally. They hardly know each other, after all, even if they've seen a certain side of each other.
Right, I should remember that even among performers there's a lot of professional difference... [Yingying probably has a completely different industry, and so does Luka. But universally, the business side of things will always focus on the audience. The players will always be driven by a great many things.]
It will be good. Trust me, this will be a great showstopper! Ringo may not be a famous star, but her joie de vivre makes everything she does fun, and I have no doubt that Luka's merit won him his last competition. [She describes two different kinds of shows, but both of them sound quite entertaining.]
But, Miss Yingying, as our chosen star, what do you plan to do when your match is found?
[ Furina seems so learned in these matters... there was certainly less showmanship and bravado in her own role. She's different from Luka and Furina that way. She always had to carry herself with a sense of grace, but the people who visited her were less like audiences and more like followers. ]
You mean after the competition? Mm..
[ She looks off o the side, having not prepared an answer for what she should say when people ask her that. The future is quite murky right about now, after all. ]
I want to live one day at a time... learning as much as I can about that person. Or were you thinking about some grander goal, like getting married?
No, I have trouble understanding people who are preoccupied with distant dreams of the future.
[People obsessively attached to something beautiful in the past, too, have a philosophy that Furina struggles to wrap her mind around. Though her thoughts are often filled with the past and it once pinned her to itself, it's difficult to imagine the desire to "return" that nostalgia often sparks.]
I understand wanting to live alongside someone day by day like that. [Someone like Ringo would probably understand, too, but Furina's still pondering what to do with Yingying's bold offer...and how it will affect the house itself.]
[ "Distant dreams of the future," huh. That gives her pause, and her expression remains something closer to neutral and thoughtful, rather than return to coyness. Her head tilts a fraction. ]
You never know what tomorrow will bring. Of course, it's always good to have something to look forward to... [ That's what wishes are for. ] Something happy to drive you forward. But it can be hard to imagine an wholly idealized future, I think.
[ Ever since the Perishing Star fell, especially. Once everything had been ripped away from her an instant, she stopped thinking about far off plans and dreams, seeing each year one at a time, each wish as a stepping stone. ]
What about you, Furina? What would you like to do, when you find your match?

Dramatic moments?

But Ringo? Will it be so dramatic? ]
Do you think it'll be dramatic in a good way?
