Amber's Flower Shop

Eh..
*shrugs*
I don't know.

*keeps up her warm smile*
If you dont want to leave the shop, then we can stay...
*looks around at the shop*
Mmm...Everything is just how i remember it...barely changed at all...

*nods*
I...tried to keep it that way
*sighs*

*smiles warmly at Mael and strokes his hair a little*
Thank you...
*hugs him*
I've missed you...

*hugs her back, smiling faintly*
I've..missed you too.
*looks down*
I also failed you....

*shakes head*
No, Mael, you didn't...It was just my time, y'know...?
*smiles comfortingly at him*

*smiles faintly*
You're still trying to cheer me up about that..
It's...not what I'm talking about..
I failed you because, I can no longer make people happy like you asked
*sighs*

*blinks*
But...how come...? Is something wrong...?

*looks down and shrugs a little*
I don't know.
It just, doesn't work.
No matter how cheerful I am, or how happy I try to be, everyone is sad, or in pain. Or even putting themselves through horrific pain to become something they're not.
I just..don't have the ability to.

*sighs soflty*
Then...it's not your fault.
*smiles*
If...if they really want and need to cheer up, then they will, i guess...

*walks in slowly looking down*
hey mael you here?

*frowns*
I can't make people happy, I can't even be enough that you love me in return, even if only for a night.
What use am I, really?

*smiles and touches Mael's cheek softly*
You're everything someone somewhere needs...and you'd definitely be anything I needed or wanted...but i already have someone...that's the problem...I can love you back as much as I can...but i cant ever betray Angelus...
*looks at Osamu and smiles*
*purely out of reflex*
Welcome to Amber's Flower Shop; how may we help you today?

Then I'm right.
Of no use.
*smiles a little*
Thank you for confirming it...
*glances up at Os*
Something..wrong?

*sighs, eyes a little sad*
mael..you aren't "no use..."

yea but thats besides the point....im sorry about a few days ago...

*shrugs*
You were perfectly justified in your actions, there is no reason for you to apologize...
*looks up at Amber*
Name a single use I have that cannot be filled by someone else already at this academy.

No they werent.... i over reacted...

*smiles*
Who else could take care of my shop as well as you do Mael...? Who else could be the only reason I ever bother coming back to the world of the living when I can...? Who else could protect and care for everyone here in the same way you do...?

*shakes his head*
I would've done the same...if someone had said those things about Amber..
Don't beat yourself up Os. It's a completely logical action.
Mm, anyone that's seen how I've done it could do the same.
Anyone that wanted to call you, could do so with the smallest amount of spirit power.
And there are people far more qualified to protect and care for others than I.

*gently hugs Mael, humming softly*
but the only one i WANT to come back to earth for is YOU...the only one i WANT to take care of my shop is YOU...and you were always there for me, Mael...

Mael, you are the most protective of those you care for here, if you find out someone is in trouble you help them, no matter what....
*sees the moment*
ill see you later man i got somewhere to be...
*leaves*

*just takes the hug, looking up at Os and shrugging slightly*
It's really simple..there will be others when my time comes. As with everything and everyone else. My time is soon coming, and I'll be gone for good when it does.

*looks at Mael in shock, a little upset*
*whispers* Wh-what did you s-say...?

*eyes widen suddenly*
I feel...a strong soul has passed..
*disappears out of Amber's arms, flying quickly towards the South Gate*
