"Okaeri!~" This came from Benihime who was in the area, picnic basket at hand waiting for the lunch break which was bound to be coming. Surprisingly enough she'd taken in Aiko's changed appearance and chuckled just a bit, finding her current getup to be just a bit strange. When Youko spoke though it made a bit more sense and Aiko seemed content to answer them both. "Hai hai," to the bit about coverage and things being too bright. "Don't smile at me like that Onii-sama, you knew this would happen. It's horrible. I thought my eyes were on fire, and they still hurt now," she said of her experience. If wandering around in the darkness wasn't bad enough, she'd then had to come out into the light, which was hundreds of times worse than one might think.
Benihime found this a bit funny. "Oh, your eyes hurt, so you tore up your clothes to dim stuff. A bit extreme, but it's a cool new look." the woman joked which caused Aiko to turn in her direction with a hand on her hip. "Very funny Onee-sama, tell me what else one should do to fix it, too bright. I wouldn't have made it back. I wish I had traveled at night, that would have made it a bit better." she said to the woman before turning back to the man. "I seem to always come back when you are in the middle of something. What are you so furiously working on, Onii-sama?"
