Day 378 | Open Action
[Action; Sector 4; outside the new flower shop]

[Between forced sleep and a grueling heatwave, Yuuki's managed to keep herself plenty busy despite whatever shenanigans are tossed around the domed prison. From gardening, to gathering supplies and lots of set up she's barely remained still in one place for more than a few minutes. Anyone who frequents sector four may have seen her around much more often, in conjunction with a new shop that has come together rather nicely over the course of the last few days. It settles in nicely among the businesses and brick buildings. Beautiful flowers and plants decorate the entrance, with an elegant yet simple sign overhead that reads 'Nine White Orchids'.

The sign that would indicate that they're open is flipped around to indicate that it isn't yet. But the door is propped wide open with a wedge which proves that someone is inside. A soft, feminine voice can be heard humming inside, lyrics heard intermittently. The sweet, dulcet tones reach outside the shop, intertwining invisibly around anyone within hearing distance. Be careful not to listen too closely, or it's possible to find oneself inside the shop without really thinking about it.

But then maybe you're the type who would have peeked inside anyhow?

Otherwise, the girl humming to herself might set foot outside on her own, a pot of flowers in hand, should one remain unaffected or linger outside the door.]

[Private to Yuuri Shibuya]

Yuuri-kun, can I talk to you if you have a moment?

(OOC: Her singing voice can have an enchanting affect on people (Particularly vampires if relevant or desired). Feel free to use that if you like. Otherwise feel free to resist or remain unaffected! She's not intentionally doing anything. Her desire to do well and be able to draw people into the shop is simply leaking out. Here's a Permissions Post for anyone who might find it useful.)

	Tomorrow maybe? If that's okay with you. [Outside of the flower shop she doesn't really have a lot of pressing concerns. Her work on the defense force isn't that difficult either. Really, it's just... keep an eye on things, in the end.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's fine. [Exactly. He really doesn't have a set "shift" for the DF. Rather, it's more that he's always being mindful and observant when out and about.] It's not as though I have no free time or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Taking a large bite of the delicious snack she nods. . . before falling silent for a moment. A touch of color brightens her cheeks, and she glances away briefly.] There was... something else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Why is it awkward to offer this at all, it's just Zero.] You... [ER-] Do you like your apartment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	instrumented 2016-06-08 03:01 am UTC (link)
	[He just watches her. Although he can kind of guess where she's getting at.] It's just an apartment. I'm not particularly attached to it or anything. [Which he doesn't need to explain. She knows just how bare he keeps wherever he lives. And when it comes to Ichiru, well, that's no real issue. His brother is set on not living with him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[How like him. Zero really never has been the type to get attached to a place. Part of that, though, she thinks, is the fact that he moved around so much as a child. Not to mention that he always tried to separate himself from becoming 'family' with her back at the academy.

Maybe it's no wonder that he never fully settles into a place, as though he could move out at any moment.]

You're living alone, too. [She knows Ichiru isn't living with him.]

I was thinking that if you don't... enjoy the solitude of living alone, you could... move in with Ai-chan and myself.

[Those also are reasons.

It's exactly as he thought, though. Yet at the same time, he's a little thrown. It's hardly been two weeks since they arrived here. For her to ask seems a little surprising, even.]

I don't know if I would say that I particularly enjoyed it.

[As solitary as he's always been. The smile that crosses his expression is slight.]

I guess I should be honest and tell you I had hoped for that since we got here, but I wanted and needed to give you your space. [She probably knows that already.] If you'll have me, though. . .

[It's true that she needed it. And there's various things she's still thrown by. But knowing that Ichiru doesn't live with him, while both she and Ai live together... it doesn't sit right with her. Back at the academy, she had always tried her best to make it so that he didn't just wander off alone.

Her cheeks color just a touch and she glances away.]

It just seems more natural this way.

[And more normally-] Besides, it's not as though I dislike Zero's company. We used to live together back home, too. Maybe it can be like old times.

Does it?

[Playing a little. She doesn't have to answer it (he already knows).

Even while she says so, it's new at the same time. It means she's letting him in a bit further. He's never doubted that she does need him and wanted him near. There's a sense of relief in that, regardless to how thinking it (that she doesn't) in the first place is illogical.

She just said so, anyway.]

It's been a long time since then. [Yet barely a couple of years.] I don't think anything can go back to exactly how it was, but I'd be happy to see how things will play out this time.

[He pauses, feeling a little more amused.] You and Ai won't have to rely a lot on take-out meals, for one. But I'm sure that's something you're already looking forward to.

	[Maybe, but she misses those happy-go-lucky days. If it was always like that, then she would be happy. . . . She frowns after a moment and glances away, however.] I'll have you know that I cook. [Sometimes. . . . . . . And sometimes it turns out, too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh? Do you? [He won't be rude. Honest.] Does Ai at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-09 01:48 am UTC (link)
	It depends on my mood. [Which is honest, too. But she has a daughter. So she's tried.... to cook more. The expressions Ai has made to her cooking, however...] No, not really. She seems content just eating whatever the restaurants and surrounding businesses sell and make. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Some have been real odd. Although I guess that does go along with how many other worlds there are. [/insert names of dishes here] I've had plenty that are still from Earth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-09 03:46 am UTC (link)
	I feel like most are from Earth! [At least from what she herself has noticed.] But a lot of it is western food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
