Amber's Flower Shop

*ducks out of the shop and comes back carrying Koneko upstairs*
*lays her down and covers her with a blanket, brushing her hair out of her face and shutting the door behind him*
*walks downstairs and thinks*
*sighs*
I'm bored..

Then, I can't have blood drawn from me. For nee-sama's sake. I'll just have to find another way...
*looks toward the door and blinks, suddenly, running outside and looking up and down the road*
Is he back?
*runs down the street, turning head side to side quickly*

*walks into the shop and puts Gae Bolg by the door*
*lets out a long deep sigh*
Where IS she? Sakurai..of all the times to pull a disappearing act....

Rhode sat far back in the shop stirring a cauldron to torch light as she hummed a light tune, it was a very odd looking scene... it would be truly terrifying if rhode wasn't humming the looney tunes theme song. Vlad walked in the front door leaving his coffin standing outside by the door.

-Man I'm late... this probably won't end well... heheh

Vlad wobbles up and behind the counter before collapsing behind it.

-Odd... there never used to be a brick there... stupid rhode...

*looks up and notices Vlad*
Well hello there
*walks over to his book and reopens it, continuing to look through it*

Vlad raises his hand from behind the desk

-Hello there!

Vlad lifts himself up wiping off some dust or something as he straightened out his vest and walked to the back room where rhode was busy at work making something

*sends another book from the back whooshing through the air to his hand as he puts the other down and begins to read about a certain melodic tune*

*flies down to the door and walks in with my wings dragging*

*looks up at her and raises an eyebrow*
Wings?

*looks at mael*
huh? oh uh yes...wings

*waves a hand lifting them off the floor*
Fold them, or something. They take up alot of space.
*looks up at Vlad*
You up for a trip into the forest?

oh...sorry
*folds them up into my back*
better?

*nods*
Much, thank you.

*smiles*
you're very welcome mael

Vlad pops out from the back room saluting with his right hand restraining rhode in the other

-I'm always up for a trip to the forest!

Goes back into the back room

-Look I told you! No playing with molecular acids!

-I'm always careful! Besides there's no structural integrites underneath to worry about!

Vlad exited the room sighing

-You have a list for me? Also keep an eye on her... she's trying to make an "ultimate acid" type... brew? she's even using a special cauldron... she tried making this stuff before and I remember she spilt it which resulted in me having to move Cause the stuff dug straight into the ground til it hit a lava pocket....

*takes a long list from his coat of multiple spices and a few flowers, as well as a very long addition of herbs*
Rhode should know just about how much of what and how to spot it if you don't. Have fun
*laughs a little*
Don't worry, telekinesis wraps liquid too
*taps his forehead and stands*
I think I'll go out as well.
I need to see someone.

*takes his sword that's by the door and leaves the shop*

Vlad looks at the list thinking

-Hmmm.... well I'm sure Mael will be back soon... Rhode! We're heading out!

Rhode wobbled out of the back room stepping lightly before hopping up onto vlad's shoulder

-All ready!

-Aren't you worried about the molecular acid?

-It's already done

-Wow... so then...shall we?

-Yes!

Vlad walks out the door locking on his way out before grabbing his coffin and heading off to the forest.

Vlad walks in wearing grizzly bear arms as if they were giant oven mittens looking rather amused carrying his coffin over his shoulder and rhode sitting on top of the coffin he looked around.

-No one's here as usual... oh well!

Vlad shrugs placing the coffin on the ground

-Rhode can I leave this to you? Or should i?

Rhode shrugs

-Let's just both do it and get it over with quicker

Vlad and rhode then get to work sorting the materiels rhode did the bottom shelves and the ones she could reach while Vlad essentially did the rest.

*looks in the shop*
Is he even here...?
*shivers a little*
Ha ha, Kia... Hysterical! Stop that...

A subtle thumping poof could be heard in the back of the shop as vlad come flying out from inbetween two racks crashing into the wall waving at Hakura lazily

-heheh, hi... welcome to Amber's flowershop! We're here to cover all your herbal and flower related needs...

-Sorry Vlad

Looks back to where he just flew from

-It's okay rhode atleast you didn't do it on purpose this time...

*jumps back*
Ah! Oh!
*breathes a sigh of relief*
Are you alright?!
*walks over to him*
Forgive me... I'm kinda... spazzy...

Uh... Listen, I gotta go... I'm looking for someone so yea... Sorry...
*walks out*
Who the heck was THAT guy?
*shakes her head*
Whatever...

Vlad watches dissapointed as she leaves

-Awh... and here I thought I had a customer...

*floats in with Sakurai and lays her on the couch*
*sits in his armchair and leans on his hand* Well that was a nightmare..
*seals Sakurai's wounds telekinetically and blacks out from exhaustion*
