WHO: Kozue and Misaki and Kiriko ~~GO FIRST YEAR POWER TRIO~~
WHAT: Kozue drops off the homework at the flower shop.
WHERE: Hanakotoba Flowers.
WHEN: The day that Misaki misses school.
WHY: ~~Curiosity~~ Generosity.

The excuses not to attend after school activities were endless and wonderful. And the excuse to get over to where Misaki was and poke her nose into what appeared to be some kind of dramatic situation? Irresistible. (And even if Misaki was missing school for a totally valid medical reason, well, there was still something going on!) That was what had Kozue walking across town after school, carrying the notes from that day's class session, and looking for Hanakotoba Flowers. She'd plugged it into the GPS function on her cellphone, after wandering around Noodle Alley for a while and realizing that she hadn't the slightest clue where she was going.

And her phone had delivered! She walked in the door of the shop, stopping to admire the flowers in the front, and breathe in the scent for a moment or two. Why hadn't she come here before? It was gorgeous. It had so many of the things she'd really liked about Ikebana—the flowers themselves, the colors and the scents and the way they looked together—and so far, no screaming teachers or old ladies.

Holding onto the homework, she looked around for Misaki's older brother, or somebody else who worked there. "Hello!"

"That's what Niisan keeps telling me. It's okay to be upset, its better that you are upset because if you're not that meant that the friendship really didn't mean that much to you." Misaki paused some and blushed. "They're so expensive though...I don't know if I could afford it. But...I really don't want to go back to the house. I'll just be nagged to death by my mother about how dumb I was in the first place to go there and that I don't have the capablity to actually do stuff on my own yet, or something to do with the genetic make up of my brain."

Misaki actually giggled brightly at this, "Sure, I figured why not. I get a discount at the store since I shop there a lot, and they sometimes have extra silk that doesn't sell so well so I've got a small stock pile in the back that I can use." She paused and thought, "Plus it's something to keep my mind off things, and it's fun for me to do. But I'll need input from you two on styles and colors and such for what you want."

"Well, I can help with that. And with discounts."

She didn't know a damn thing about sewing, but colours and good deals were certainly within her sphere of expertise - unlike comforting Misaki through her ubiquitous emotional difficulty. She was never too sure how to deal with that kind of thing beyond an awkward pat on the shoulder, and was thankful that Kozue seemed to have fielded that one for her.

"Though, maybe doing simple yukatas would be a better idea?"

	Misaki looked excited and nodded, "Yeah! That would work and they would be easier to make and I could make them look unique." She giggled some, "You're really amazing Kiriko-chan!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The slight shift in topic was convenient; Kozue had still been trying to figure out how to either console Misaki or shift the topic away, but Kiriko had managed it quite beautifully. "That's a great idea," she agreed. "And people would be able to wear them sooner—wearing full kimono in the summer is painful." (Reply to this) (Parent)
