Amber's Flower Shop

*laughs softly*
I think she'd break my hand off at the wrist if I tried to touch them, but they looked quite soft.

They are!
*laughs and stands up, petting Mael gently*
I never thought she would ever tell anyone.
I wonder if Kukai knows...

Oh, I thought you may enjoy this little addition more than most others.
*snaps his fingers once causing more than fifty combined scented candles and incense burners all over the room to light and fill the room with multiple scents of different flowers and spices all at once, while lighting the entire room up with flickering candlelight*
Kukai..I've only met him once, I don't suppose he does.

*blinks and looks around at the instant glow added to the room*
*smiles and turns around fully, breathing in slowly*
U-waaa... kirei!
*snaps back and laughs, looking over shoulder to Mael with an illuminated smile*
Kukai and Sakurai... if one knows something, the other is bound to know as well. I believe it's twin telepathy!

Ah!
Yes that makes sense
But twins born to a hunter clan? Isn't that bad luck?
Hmmm or maybe it was just vampires..
I'll have to read up on it.
Either way, I only have regular telepathy, I know what most everyone knows unless they're very skilled at hiding that particular thought around me
*laughs at her reaction to the light*
I take it you like it?

I'm not sure but Alex-
*gasps in to stop the sentence and shakes head*
I... like the lighting... it reminds me of my dream but without the pain.
*looks away back to the lights, turning back to Mael*

(I have to go >.<, goodnight! We'll continue tomorrow!)

*looks curiously up at her*
Who precisely is Alex?
Candles...and her dream..I wonder what it all means...

(K! Goodnight then ^_^)

*stares at the candles with a tired expression as the flame flickers about and reflects in her eyes*
Who?
*blocks thoughts as strongly as possible, body trembling momentarily*
I said too much... I got too comfortable...

*looks up slightly*
Shizuka, you're not a fighter, you can't hide things from me..*sighs*
If you don't want to say so, just say that. It's not like I'm going to interrogate you Zuka..

*dives into the shop, doing a barrel roll in mid-air with streamers and confetti everywhere*
*backflips and lands in a crouched position with a rose in his hand and a bishie smile*
*floral background*
"No need to fear! Kuro is here!"
*explosions appear behind him and it turns out that he landed on a giant platform that says "KURO" in big bold letters*

*walks out into the shop and immediately facepalms*
*shakes his head and laughs*
What are you doing here Kuro?

*speaks in a slightly-overdramatic hero voice*
"No need to fear little girl! Kuro is here! HAHA!"
*heroic pose and places hand on Mael's head*
"The Hero of Justice shall prevail! HAHAHAA!"
*points out into the distance and waves crash up against him and pause mid-frame, showing a heroic and awe-inspiring picture of Ultra Heroism*

*smacks Kuro in the back of the head lightly*
That's about enough of all that.
*walks back behind the counter and pours some tea*

*falls off platform face first*
*lands on face*
"owowowowow.... Heeeeey"
*sits up, rubbing the back of his head*
"Ruining my fun?"
*folds arms*
"that's just un-sportsman-like conduct"
*nods in agreement with himself*

*shrugs and sips tea*
Good thing I don't get paid to play sports then hmm?

"You do! The sport-"
*stands up and birds fly around him, another floral background*
"Of life!"

*breathes out and walks over to a candle, staring at the flame*
*lowers shoulders and yawns, shutting eyes*
Please don't ask Sakurai who he is... it's not important.

If life were a sport, it would be illegal to bet upon. People gamble their lives away each and every day with no punishment. So no. It's not a sport.

*blinks at Shizu*
*tears and flails*
"She didn't even say hi"
*sad face*

*slowly looks around at mael and suddenly has a beard*

*blows the candle out and holds hand over the ribbon of smoke, cupping it*
*opens hand staring at the rising smoke as it disappears*
*walks over to a wall shelf where another candle and squints at it, reaching hand up, on tiptoes*

I won't if you don't want any further inquiry..

*raises an eyebrow at Kuro*
Well I can see at least your humor hasn't disappeared.

*cocks head to the side*
"Need some help Shizu?"
*chuckles*

*looks at mael*
"Is that a crack at my mysteriously-long absense?"

*shakes head without speaking and glares at the candle for a moment*
*gets a chair and places it in front, standing up on it and taking a hold of the candle and smiling*
*jumps off the chair and holds the candle, walking over to Mael and holding it up*
Amber-san is in this one.
