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.)

[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)

	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)

[ !! ]

Yori-chan hardly knew what to expect! The only vampires she knows are myself, and I'm hardly typical. She knows the peaceful people who resided at the academy.

[With a heavy frown she glanced the other way, brows drawn down.]

At the ball they were all hungry and ravenous. Whether for her or me or power I could barely tell, but even I felt uncomfortable in that atmosphere, and I'm a pureblood.

[She wont budge on this, even if Yori agreed.]

You don't take a bunny into a den of wolves, just because there might be a carrot there. [. . . She is the carrot.]

	[He falls silent because he knows that she's absolutely right about all of it.] . . .Sorry. [He wasn't blind to just how thirsty the vampires present were. However he also knows that all of that i in the past, now. Kaito isn't some terrible person, but Zero can acknowledge what she's saying about his colleague.] Had I known I would have stopped him.

Well I know that, too.

[At the very least she had been grateful Zero had been there for that reason. There was no way he would have left Yori alone to be hurt.]

Just make sure that she isn't used by those people again. [Her eyes crease and she frowns.] She's the first and only person outside of Zero that wanted to actually get to know me.

[Her frown grows...] I know I'm not a good friend. I can't always be by her side even though I know she's tried. It would be too dangerous for her, and I refuse to bring harm her way. I miss her, but I don't want to draw her into the darkness that surrounds my own life. The association has no right to use her kindheartedness like that. They're supposed to be protecting people like her, not using her as bait.
