[ Kubo nods. ]

Sure.

[ He tries to sidle to the front, keeping one arm splayed out to manage his balance. ]

[willynilly]

[Ochako tries to help him keep his balance, setting her hands on his shoulders and leaning in, pointing forward.]

Okay, chaaaaarge!! You can do it!

[shamisens]

Yeah!

[ They're charging! Though Kubo doesn't know where, so he simply angles the board forward, and mayyybe takes it a little higher as well. ]

[willynilly]

[Ochako tries not to bounce eagerly in her spot, mindful of the tentative balance on the board, but it's hard when riding it freely is more exciting to her than steering it around. She surveys the area then points downwards, eyes wide.]

Ahh, look! That huge tree, with blossoms on it! Can we get closer?

[shamisens]

I think so.

[ Tilting the board slightly, Kubo edges closer to the cherry blossom tree. Petals float over them and Kubo's breath catches. ]

[willynilly]

[Ochako gasps quietly behind him as they fly through it, reaching one hand up to brush through the falling petals, keeping the other hand on his shoulder for balance.]

It's soooo beautiful! We should pick flowers, for the ships!

[shamisens]

What would we do with them though?

[willynilly]

Have you never picked flowers before? You can put them in vases with water, for decoration! It brightens things up for a while.

[shamisens]

We didn't really have a lot of places to put flowers.

[ Or vases. Or . . . anything that constituted a normal home. ]

[willynilly]

Oh... well, now there's lots of space! The Starstruck has plenty of little corners tucked away for decorations, and I'd love some for my room...

[shamisens]

[ Kubo finds himself smiling softly. ]

Then we'll get some for your room if you want. I'm okay with that.

[willynilly]

[She beams brightly.]

Thank you, Kubo! We can put some in the kitchen, too- and if you want some for your room, I'm sure we could find a vase!

[shamisens]

We could probably buy one. Or buy some glasses to use as vases?

[ It would be nice to have more things in his room. ]

[willynilly]

That's an idea! Glasses would be way cheaper, though, we should do that. Or just pilfer a few from the kitchen. No need to waste money when we have stuff on hand, right?

[It's not like she's rich, either.]

[shamisens]

We should let the Captain know before we do that though.

But I think it'll be fine.

[willynilly]

Yeah, I think so, too. They can be strict sometimes, but everyone's really nice on our ship. Don't worry about it!

[If they have to buy vases, whatever, it's not the end of the world. This would just be easier.]

[shamisens]

[ Kubo pauses, wondering if he was worried about it. Maybe deep down, he still felt unsure of his place here. ]

I won't.
