"Zie-zie!" Rikku replied, just as cheerfully, standing up in her chair to throw both arms around her cousin in a tight, squeezing hug. She'd missed her so much... considering they used to spent every or every-other weekend at each other's houses before they had both gone into college and started ridiculously long hours of studying to get themselves to where they were now. It was like all of the time they'd been older teenagers, young adults, which they could've spent partying and clubbing and doing all kinds of crazy things, had been lost to their studies.
"Wow, look at you - I love the dreads," she complimented with a smirk, sinking back into her chair. Her cousin had always been so quirky and stylish, she was the best person to go shopping with and even better to go to a stylist with.
