The sky was blue and clear, full of stars all around. Inside a room, we see Fara sitting on the bed, watching TV: on the screen, there are 5 Inklings wearing each a different color costume. They wear a helmet too, making them unrecognizable.
Mirii was sitting on a small black office chair, tapping buttons on the laptop's keyboard, while looking at the monitor. Hun near the girl was standing still, tilting forward and staring at the laptop's screen. Occasionally the boy looks at the young lady, focusing his attentions to her many bruises and bumps on the top of her head.
"Ehm… Mirii…" He said in a low voice, while looking at the girl.
"Yes?" She moves a mouse around and clicks on its left button, while not turning her head.
"Uhm… are you sure to be fine?" He raises his eyebrows, pulling them together.
"Yes, I'm certainly fine." Mirii stares at the screen, while keeping her hand on the mouse.
Hun looks at the girl for a while, then he sighs softly.
"I-I don't see it…"
The girl didn't reply and keeps staring at the screen: there is a long text, with an image of an Inkling woman wearing a black jacket on the top of a white shirt. The boy moves his mouth to the right, looking now at the screen.
"… what's this?" He asks.
"A job opportunity." She answers, covering mouth and chin with her right hand, as she leans her elbow on the desk.
"A job opportunity…? Ehm, why?"
Mirii remains silent.
"Oh, right… because you need money for food! Did I say that thing right?" He smiles.
"… Hunley, don't distract me now." She replied, still not turning her face around.
Hun looks at her, for a moment… then he lowers his head and walks near Fara.
"Hey big bro! Wanna watch som' stu'?" The little sister jumps to her right and then she pats her previous spot.
Hun looks at the spot for a while, then he sits on it, turning his head towards the TV.
"Ya see thos' weir' creatures, bub? 'hey are like heroes!" Fara points the monitor, multiple times, with her tentacle-hand.
"Oh… ok…" He watches a scene, where the Red Inkling Hero throws a punch against a Shark-like monster.
The little sister keeps looking at Hun, as she tilts the head to the left.
"Hun, somethin' wron'?"
"No, nothing…"
Fara gradually smiles.
"… ya can't hi' 'rom your littl' sister! I 'now exactly wha' you nee'!"
The small girl grips her brother, with both the arms. Her head's left side was touching his body's right side, as she rubs with it up and down, doing slow and short movements. The boy smiles, as he leans his head against his sister.
"'hose meanies will nev' hur' your feelings aghin, big bro. I promise to giv' 'hem the goo' ol' splattin', if 'hey try any tauntin'!" She closed her eyes.
"No, sis! Hurting people is not a nice thing to do." Hun frowns a bit.
"'ot even when 'hey 'urt you wi' words?"Fara tilts her head up, staring at Hun.
"Uuuuh… ehm… no?" He grins.
Fara frowns a lot, puffing her cheeks.
"Hun, wh' are ya so kin'?! You' ex-pardners treated ya wors' 'han a worm!"
"B-but they are still my friends, sis!"
"No, they aren't…"
The two Inklings look at Mirii.
"They insulted you, without any reason. No real friend would do such thing, Hunley…" She turns around, looking at the two siblings, by rotating her office chair.
Hun stood silent.
"Ya kno'… ya ma' 'ook smart an' all, bu' you aren' afraid to get 'irty hands, 'ontcha?" Fara grins, while closing her eyes.
"I just wanted to stop her… but I was forced to use the hard ways." She caresses her right tentacle, while looking at her left with both the eyes.
"Heh… no 'ffense, bu' ya see' to be th' one smacked 'round." The little girl moves her legs back and forth.
"… hmpf! She just got lucky, this time." Mirii turns her head, looking slightly down, as she frowns.
"Mirii… ehm…" Hun blushes a bit.
"Yes?" Mirii looks at him.
"Uhm… wanna watch this box with us?" He smiles.
"… it's called Television, Hunley."
"Oh, oops! Sorry…" He moves his back forward and the head down, for a quick moment. His mouth was downturned and his eyebrows raised and pulled together.
"Anyway… no, I don't have the time." Mirii rotates her office chair, facing the laptop again.
"Why?"
No response: the girl was tapping the buttons on the keyboard.
"Hey Technie! My bub ask' a question to ya!" Fara caresses her brother's left hip.
"… Hunley, please… I need to concentrate now." She moves the mouse with her right hand.
"But why are you so silent? I don't understand…" He lowers his head a little.
"I'm always silent. A true perfectionist doesn't need to talk many times." She clicks two times on the left mouse button, with her forefinger.
No one said anything, for a brief moment.
"… sorry, bu' 'hat 'ooks like ya 'ave a grudge against Hun." She shakes her head, lightly.
Suddenly, Mirii stops tapping buttons or moving the mouse.
"Is 'hat th' truth', righ'?"
"… do you realize what I'm doing right now? Or what I did before?" Mirii said, without looking at the siblings.
"Yep: ya bea' down a fatty! Althou' you did get som' splattin' too…"
"That wasn't the answer I hoped to hear…" The girl turns around, by rotating her office chair. "I defended Hunley since the beginning of the discussion. It was that overweight fool, to complicate the situation even more and pushed me this far."
"An' no' what are ya exactly doin', aghin?"
The girl lifts her right leg, laying on the top of her left knee. She rubs her right tentacle with her right thumb and forefinger.
"I'm trying to find a job. I want to get 10.000.000 coins all by myself."
"What?! Are you crazy?!" Hun stands up quickly. "You'll never make it, in a month!"
"… I'll. I'm a perfectionist, Hunley. This sum is going to be achieved soon."
"Who is a perfectionist, Mirii?!" He clenches his fists.
"Is someone that is always perfect. Easy word to remember." She lays both her hands on the right leg.
"Actually, I knew the meaning…"
"Uhm? … oh… now I understand."
Hun shakes his head.
"I-I don't get this!" He opens his hands, moving them back and forth. "How can you claim to be perfect, when your face is full of bruises?!"
The girl looks around, with short and slow movements, occasionally using just her eyes.
"T-that happens. N-nothing but a nuisance!"
"Mirii, look at me!"
The girl stares at his eyes: her eyebrows were raised and slightly pulled together. She was biting her lips's left side.
"I don't know if you noticed this yet, but… I'm very worried about you, right now." He looks diagonal down-right, as he scratches his chin's left side with his left forefinger.
Mirii opens her mouth, opening her eyelids just a bit.
"You have been working hard, since this afternoon… without even caring about your injuries in the least!" Hun frowns, pointing at the girl. "You're a living creature, Mirii! You have to look after yourself too!"
"But Hunley… I'm fine. I'm really fine. If I was tired, I'd stop working immediately. Why you keep insisting on this matter? You have no reason to do so!"
"Mirii…"
"Hey Technie, may' I kno' th' reason." Fara raises her right hand.
"… tell." The girl looks at the small lady.
"I thin' 'hat Hun wants to jus' sta' wi' ya." She giggles a bit.
Suddenly, Hun and Mirii start blushing a lot.
"Th-that was th-the reason?" Mirii's eyes were expanded.
"Eeeehhhmmm… uuuuuhh… you know… I… uuhhmmm…" The boy looks around with his eyes, while grabbing both the hands and rotating his thumbs, in a rapid movement.
"… y-you are already with me, Hunley. N-no need to worry about it…" She leans her right hand under her throat.
"But he wants you to sta' here, on th' bed!"
Hun and Mirii become completely red on their faces.
"F-FARA!" He turns quickly, looking at his little sister.
The small girl was laughing loudly, diving on the large bed with her back. She was rolling back and forth, while laying the arms on the stomach.
"Th… th-that child… s-she wasn't suppose to k-know anything, a-at her current age!" Mirii breathes loudly.
"Uhm… M-Mirii…"
"Y-yes?!" She expanded her eyes even more, widening her lips near her cheeks.
"… you… y-you… eehhmm… g-gulp! You… uuuh… do you feel like… …" He does an abrupt head shake. "D-do you feel like coming here and… chat a bit?" The last words were said in a very low voice.
Mirii was breathing with her nose, sweating from her forehead and trembling just slightly.
"… … w-well… … I… I needed a break, anyway…" She squeezes her right leg with both her hands, then she gets up from the office chair.
"Oh… … o-ok! T-then, we sit on the bed… and… a-and talk! Y-yeah!" Hun chuckles, while pointing with his right hand at one spot.
Fara raises her back.
"An' clos' to each other!"
From both the Inklings's nose, come out ink. The little girl laughs even louder, falling down with her back, as she hits the bed multiple times, with her tentacle-feet, while laying the arms on the stomach.
Hun and Mirii stared at each other… smiling together.
