"Ah- I think I finally got it to work...! I'm Oguri Cap! I took a short break from racing, but I'm back now! It's so great to see all my friends on here...!
March told me to attach a picture of myself, so here?"

@SouthernWonder7 // Hell yea always love to see new players, also always fun to see an Uma fan that’s also into limbus (common occurrence strangely enough), may your sharding spree before the end of the season treat you well
@SouthernWonder7 “That sounds…!”
Oguri paused dramatically… Did she think it was a bad ide-
“Perfect…! They’ll definitely know where we can find it there…!”
Oh, nevermind. She was all in.
With that question, a light head tilt. Her ponytail fell to the side a bit, other strands of hair blocking part of her eyes.
"I didn't know I was holding you up..."
"Woah... You're really good at playing along...!"
Seems Ale had successfully fooled Oguri into thinking it was just another part of the practice, thankfully... Or was it?
Oguri also got to her feet, already smiling again as Ale praised her.
+
She's trying to be supportive, yet her nose wrinkles at the idea of another girl. But why? It's not like it's her business.
“Anyway... catch you later?”
She seems awfully eager to get away. To sink into a hot tub and try to make sense of what just happened.
Though not as... Conflicted as Ale was, Oguri would be pretty ready to admit that she enjoyed doing this. The why, she wasn't really sure. Maybe it was just fun to act like that towards other people... She wasn't quite sure!
"Oh, uh, sure...! Do you have somewhere to be...?"
+
Her voice was different now. No longer the sauve, delectable tone that she had before. She was light, and calm. Still smooth, at least as Oguri's normal tone was. But those eyes... They didn't quite hold the same spark that Oguri had before, but there wasn't nothing there...
"Ale...?"
And just like that, it all broke apart around them. If Ale wanted Oguri to stop, she certainly found a way to do it. She stumbled back for a second, the look in her eyes shifting to concern instead of that calm, confident look from before.
+
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?! Oguri was just supposed to practise some lines and then...
She shuddered. The things she's feeling... both agonizing, and amazing.
Make it stop...
And so Oguri, after recovering from the push, immediately dropped down on one of her own knees in front of ale. She wasn't quite as close as she was when they stood, of course, but she wasn't exactly very far away either.
"Hey, Ale..."
+
Oguri nodded, a tiny bit solemnly.
“Mhm… I think that’s a good thing to do, Yaeno… Though, hopefully that’s not for a long time still…!”
She smiled again now, trying to clear some of the gloom.
“We still have plenty of racing to do, don’t we…?”
“ My gramp- grandfather, yes. I've dedicated myself to Kongo Yaegaki and I will continue on his legacy and the dojo once he ..
Inevitably passes. ”
It's a reality she's faced many times, and a reality she's prepared for.
“ There will always be new students at the dojo. ”
And then, with her mouth still partially full, Oguri looked curiously to Yaeno.
“Hm…? Who are you going to help…? Your old man…?”
A teeny bit disrespectful of a way to put it, maybe… But Oguri didn’t mean anything by it. Just how she spoke.
“ Ah .. right. ”
Time really was moving forward for them.
Although Yaeno hadn't retired yet, it's only a matter of time until she has to.
“ I suppose we both have promised to help someone else once we're done at Tracen .. ”
“Hm… I think I want it to stay a hobby… I already told Belno that when I go back into retirement I’ll help her train her team.”
Oguri smiled, taking another bite of her own piece of the bread.
“I already helped with a few while I was on my break.”
“ Of course I'll eat it. It'd be rude not to. ”
Wrapping the bread up and putting it away in her bag for now ..
“ Maybe after Tracen, you'll pursue cooking as a passion. ”
@SouthernWonder7 “We have to…! We have to find the biggest ice cream ever…!”
Oguri was trying to be slightly less of a glutton lately, but… this was too good an opportunity to pass up.
“Uhm… Do you know where to start?”
“Hm… I don’t think I’m done with you yet, Ale.”
She dropped her voice now, low and slow.
“Don’t worry. I’ll come find you when it’s time for more… We’re going to have a lot of fun together.”
“Mm… That’s good…”
Finally, agonizingly, Oguri’s touch left Ale’s face. For such a monster… She was surprisingly gentle when she took her fingers away. She was still leaning towards the other umamusume, but she was letting the pressure off more. Slowly.
+
It's like she's burning up. Is she getting sick?
Regardless of how her mind is trying to justify what she's currently feeling, she weakly nods at Oguri's question.
