So, serious question.
Is the blue hair a genetic thing? Does everyone in your family sport it, or is it a recessive gene?

Hello, Veronica.
Er — my father, and my father's father had blue hair. As does my brother. [ ... ] My aunts, and my cousin, however, are blond.
Does this answer your question? [ She has no idea what genetics is she's just kind of guessing ]

[At least she's not asking if the drapes match, as that would be utterly gross.
(And Veronica is the one who would think it's gross.)]
I assume your aunts and cousin don't share any genes with your parents? They're all maternal side?

Curiosity. Nothing more, nothing less.
[It's literally a pointless conversation.]
But that's ... fascinating. If I knew anything else about genetics, I'd probably theorize.
But. Well.
I don't.

I now understand the sword.
More generally, genetics have to do with a field of science that studies genes, and genes are what inherit from one another.
I'm just a high school student, though, so anything beyond that is a little outside of my reach.

[ Wow Veronica what's that supposed to mean!!!
but she understood everything else in that sentence, this is good, this is progress. ]
I see. I appreciate you telling me about it nonetheless. I presume blue hair is ... unheard of in your world, as well. [ She's not the first. ]

Not without a dye job and a very thorough dedication to touching up your roots.
It's also more likely with a certain type of person, of which you most certainly are not.
The dye job, that is. Not a natural blue hair color.

I think it's safe to say that it's a whole subculture that you wouldn't understand.
Oh, and aging mothers experiencing a mid-life crisis.
Lucina!!
[ Good mornoon Lucina, it is your favorite aunt furiously thought-mashing her thought-keyboard in excitement over the most recent of her revelations. ]
I was shopping for clothes for the new place we're going to soon and I found a dress in one of the stores that would look amazing on you! You HAVE to try it on, please pretty please??
[ They've had like two conversations since their Fateful Encounter™ aboard Red Scream but they're bffs now, it's fine. ]

Yes. Though admittedly, I did take care to ignore all the giant bugs after the rather annoying pirate attack. It seemed to me like they weren't willing to be reasoned with.
So. I believe we're due to meet. We can finally move past this secret admirer, pen pal from afar stage of our relationship.

I'm in front of this place called RA-MEN MACHO, I don't really get what it means but they have some sort of soup with noodles in it that's pretty good. I've never tasted anything like it back in Ylisse.
[ What kind of noodles even exist in Ylisse, I don't know. Anyway. ]
But it's right next to the dress shop. I can come get you if you don't know where it is.

I have an idea — I'll see you shortly.
[ Pretending she was in the area or something, shopping for her own stuff??? Basically Lucina doesn't take very long before she's by RA-MEN MACHO, and she spots her favorite aunt here ( only aunt here. Whatever. It's not like Lissa knows ).
Which means — cue a smile, and a nod, the moment their eyes meet. ]
I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long.

[ 
As soon as she catches sight of Lucina, Lissa gives an enthusiastic wave, arm outstretched high in the air and moving in wide arcs. (Maribelle would give her a thorough scolding for this uncouth behavior, but Maribelle isn't here now is she.)
She does at least have the decency to wait until Lucina approaches before babbling on. ]
Uh-uh, there's so much to do here that it doesn't feel like I'm waiting at all. Come on, this way!
[ With a quick motion of her hand before she bounds off. If they were closer, or perhaps if Lissa knew about the whole aunt-niece thing, she would have grabbed onto Lucina's hand and dragged her off, but alas, no kawaii hand-holding was to be had that day.
The shop they enter is small but well-lit, various articles of clothing from pants to shirts to skirts all out on display around them. Their destination happens to be a rack at the very back, off of which hangs a pretty sundress that I'm not going to bother looking up because it's NOT IMPORTANT to the narrative.
I'm lazy, humor me. ]
Look, isn't it pretty?

As long as you don't want anything fancy, I'm sure the local coffee shop has something for both of us.
They usually don't call themselves tea shops if they also sell coffee, but you can argue for a change.

[ It's a little like shopping with her mother, back in Ylisse — weaving through the aisles of clothes, the curious shoppers that seem to take their time with the selections. Lucina follows along dutifully, at least, familiarity quickly turning into curiosity before she pursues that train of thought any further. It's not important now, they're shopping for dresses.
Which means she wholly throws herself at the task of looking at whatever Lissa points out to her. A dress. A ... nice dress, though it's not something Lucina would wear ( but then, she can't really remember the last time she wore a dress ).
And yet it seems almost rude to turn her down, when she's been called specifically for this dress ( a much more colorful, almost gaudy dress catches her eye, but she doesn't comment on it; you're welcome ). Eventually she straightens out again, and with a smile — ] It is — simple, yet it's very ... vibrant. [ Considering it's a sundress, and everything. ]
I assume you've brought me here because you'd like me to try it on.
