In a stark contrast to Nanami, Rise actually perks up a little more at the change in topic, and looks at the pictures with obvious interest.
Cairi's husband is handsome, though not particularly her type. At the sight of the long, pointed ears she actually takes another look at Cairi herself. Nope, she didn't miss any odd traits like that... it must be something to do with her world, but wouldn't it be kind of rude to bring attention to it? Best to just ignore it for now.
But she does comment on the kids. Clasping her hands together, she flashes the closest thing to her usual cheerful smile she's shown since arriving in this world, "Oh, they're all so cute!"
And there sure are a lot of them, too. Nanami's not the only one to feel shades of envy at how youthful Cairi must look for her age, to be married with so many children. Rise's just a little more optimistic about it and hopes she'll be similarly blessed.
Not necessarily with all the kids, though! One or two would be fine, if she ever got back home to Senpai...
... She feels like she should sit down. Nanami doesn't seem to be throwing any warning signals, but she tries to balance sitting closely and keeping a respectful distance. Just in case.
"At least you have them, right?" She makes a brave effort at an encouraging smile. "I stay with my grandmother sometimes, but I don't get to see the rest of my family much anymore..."
Why is that suddenly so sad? She was always perfectly fine with it back home!
She never felt like this back home, though. So small and powerless to do anything. When she quit being an idol, she felt backed into a corner, but she was able to escape then. Even if it turned out to be the wrong choice. But here, she has no choice, except to survive.
Unconsciously, she hugs her arms tightly around herself, as if protecting herself from the outside chill again...
