Scooting just a liiiiiittle closer to the girl, Kurumi's eyes widened and she sort of just gawked at Vivi for a moment. "Vivi-quin?" she repeated, cocking her head to the side. "I thought they were mannequins." Obviously missing the point. Oh well. "No vampire bats...just a mannequin in a rubbish bag like mine," she replied as she gave the black plastic another firm tug. "My boggart wouldn't be a vampire bat anyway. Those are too cute." And she was being 100 percent serious in that comment. Just because they had vampire in the name didn't mean they were dark creatures or anything.
But then Kurumi realized something. "Wait....are you saying that...fashion is your boggart?" Because it might as well be for Kurumi. "Vivi-quin," she repeated with a nod as she removed parchment and charcoal pencils from her satchel. "You know... like mannequin, except it's a Vivi-quin. A dummy representation of me. Maybe I'll pin a picture of myself to the face so you can see the resemblance."
She tapped the pencil against her leg, her eyes still trained on the mannequin and her attention only half on poor Kurumi, who had not yet learned to only trust half of what the dry-witted Vivi said. "I think gigantic winged beasts might be terrifying to some people, but no... vampire bats aren't my boggart. That would be awkward with Aspen's pet being so dear to her."
Pencil to the paper, Vivi sketched a rather solid likeness of her mannequin, although she gave it some fuzzy-looking hair and a comical face. Kurumi's question stole back her attention, and she put the pencil down. "Fashion isn't my boggart, but this is sort of a surreal activity for me. I'm not shallow enough to fear clothes. I am Ravenclaw enough to fear tasks that I can't manage with panache."
Vivi turned her attention back to her parchment. "What are you going to make?"
