As once said, Reimu's general being here is still the talk of the town, however, for some of us, her being here meant a playmate. The kits adored her, Chen wanted to be quite rid of her, however, someone wanted very much to meet her and she would be one of the Yakumos' few visitors. Her name was Youmu and she was still in her baby stage for her particular species. Often, she didn't have very many playmates and Yuyuko coddles her too much. Of course, as said before, Youmu wanted so much to see Reimu, be she human or not.
After spending a great deal of time in her cradle and under constant watch of Youki, she's decided that she wanted to snatch up a bit of freedom and, by doing that, she hurried right through to the residence of the Yakumos', thereby she noticed wispy-haired Reimu walking around on all fours. After watching her and not knowing how else to interact with her, Youmu decided to get down on all fours and bark, "Muh!" which caught the aforementioned child's attention, who then barked it back.
The conversation was an awkrawd one, as both were toddlers, although, despite only having limited speech, Youmu seemed to be fairly talkative, whereas Reimu hadn't even uttered a sound up until this point. From the assumption, Youmu could speak in what she understood, so she repeated it, saying, "Muh!" It was very much amusing, watching them interact and converse, especially since the latter wasn't used to anyone trying to converse with her.
As known previously, attention and things of the like were only tolerated by Reimu, so conversation seemed rather taboo to her, especially since she had known nothing but isolation and distance since the moment she had come into this world. In some respects, Youmu had given her a gift by showing her there was more to her life than being abhored. To some degree, she had sensed that and reciprocated as only she could, by repeating the new utterance. Of course, said utterance was the first thing we've heard her say.
For over two hours, they played, saying, "Muh!" back and forth. When it came time for Youmu to go home, Reimu reached for her and cried. For once, she connected to something other than what she was used to. Seeing her separated from Youmu and her reaction thereof made a tear roll down my cheek.
