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.)

	For a discount, though... Aha-! [She lifts a finger into the air] What if I carried it home for you? [That counts right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Just warning you. [Mom, stop being a newb. Be the mother she's used to. Ai stops prodding at the flower and looks over at Yuuki with a curious look.] You haven't forgotten that you can compel individuals with your voice, have you?

[Surely Yuuki would know that it was an ability a Pureblood would have. Right?

She silently considers her mother's deal about the flower.] I suppose that would be acceptable.

[A small hop and Ai's off the counter, moving about the room to look at all of the flowers.]

[Ai glances away from the flowers to look at her mother for a moment and yep, that's certainly a look of internalized panic. She clasps her hands behind her back and continues to browse the shop.

Best to give her mother a moment to process whatever it is that she's freaking about before disrupting her.

Eventually she stops and points to a potted flower.] I'll take this one.

[The pot contains an african violet - the color the same as its name.]

[When she points to it, Yuuki has since shaken off her thoughts.Instead, she feels somewhat amused, crossing the room.]

I guess it's no surprise that we have similar tastes. [At least in some things] This is one of my favorites too. I was looking up what various flowers mean in the language of flowers.

[Lifting it up she can at least recall this.]

It means 'Protection' or 'Spirituality. [Good things, right?] It seems like the type of plant you should sleep with near your bed.

[If only her mother knew...]

More than you might think. [They both liked the same guy there for a while.] I know. [Ai knows all of her mother's favorites, it just doesn't work in reverse yet.

She remains quiet while her mother plucks the plant from its spot and tells her the meaning of it.] Seems as if I made a good choice then. But there's not going to be a lot of light near my bed.

[Plz mother. Vampires, remember? Ai would sleep the day away if she could to avoid most of the light.]

	Ah... that's true. [ . . . Vampire things.] I guess by the window then. It still seems like it should work there. [In contrast Yuuki has been trying to operate during the day.] Actually, before we go home, could I talk with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; aiffection 2016-06-11 03:50 am UTC (link)
	[Ai pretty much stays indoors during the middle part of the day at least. Even if she's not at home for the afternoon. She has been adjusting to most of the other inmates being awake during the day.] It will get good light there. [A talk. An eyebrow raises curiously.] About what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll bring up our move to Yuuri today.

[ . . . He's going to be sad, so she hasn't been looking forward to it.] I think the move will be a good one, overall. And I do like the apartments over there a little better. It reminds me of home.

[She does hope Ai feels the same way.]

But I... wanted to know how you would feel... if I invited someone to live with us. [ . . . ] If I invited Zero to live with us.

You can always visit him or he can visit us.

[It isn't as if they're moving far away from him.] Having our own apartment will be nice. [Not that she didn't like it at Yuuri's.] Home is bigger but it is similar.

[She does agree. Other than the size, it's much more familiar and could be rather cozy. They might start thinking of it as 'home'.

Ai is silent as her mother attempts to get the sentence out. And then again as she says a name. She almost says no but that's no good. Zero is someone she cares about (maybe a little too much) but she also wants the pair of them to be happy - happy with each other. Now is definitely not the time to be thinking about that little sister she wants either.] If that's what you want, it's fine with me.

[It isn't as if Zero wasn't a prominent part of her life growing up. He was always around and honestly it's actually been a little weird not having him come over whenever he wanted. Weird but also good for Ai at the same time.]

What about Uncle Ichiru?

I know. I just feel bad. [She knows he'll be a bit put out.] Yuuri-kun is a dear dear friend. So I don't want to hurt him.

[She's relieved to hear her say it's all right, though. Even for Yuuki she finds it a little difficult. Not because she doesn't care about Zero... but because she cares too much. That's where all of the danger lies. But this-- it would hardly be the first time they have lived together. At least... when it comes to both Yuuki and Zero.]

Ichiru-kun... [Er.... ] I don't think it would be a good idea. [She frowns.... she doesn't want to tell her that she doesn't trust him at all, and especially with her and Zero. His history... isn't that great when it comes to family relations.]

He wont live with Zero at the moment, and he's not very fond of me... [To say the least.] For the time being, I think a living situation with the four of us would wind up a little tricky..

[A tilt of her head. She doesn't know Yuuri as well as her mother does but...] He might be a little sad that we're further away but happy for us, I think.

[Yuuri seemed like that sort of person. After all, it wasn't as if they'd never see each other again. This was just a small move.

Ai knows all about the time her mother lived with Zero. Stories have been told to her by a lot of various people - even grandpa.]

I know that. What if Uncle Ichiru wants to visit papa? He doesn't like you and he doesn't seem to like me much either. [For being Yuuki's daughter.] Will we have to leave the apartment for a little while to make him feel less uncomfortable?

I don't think that would be necessary.

[It's their home and she doesn't think they should be chased out of it for such a reason.]

He's welcome to visit. But- I do think if he plans to he should expect all of us. Otherwise, it's a simple matter for Zero to visit him instead. [Sigh-- Ichiru always makes things complicated.]

. . . Ideally I really would like for all of us to get along with him. I'm sure he's struggling with his own things.

	Good. Whether he likes it or not, he's family. [Even if he's an ass, Ai would like to get to know him while she can and not just through the stories told to her by others.] We should invite him to all holiday celebrations even if he doesn't come. [Ai will attempt to drag him - lovingly, of course.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Because she considers Zero family. . . because she calls him papa. Her head is still trying to wrap around that, too. Although her next words draw a smile.]

Breaking through to Ichiru-kun through persistence, huh? [It sounds like fun. She lifts a finger up.] He'll be really resistant to things, but I agree! We should keep trying.And make sure not to let him bully you, Ai-chan!

[Well, Ai has a father and a papa. Her father is asleep in ice and papa was the one who was awake and could teach her things. Zero tried to get her to stop but she's stubborn - even at the age of four.]

People don't always get to choose their family. [Ai might choose Ichiru but he might not choose her.] He can try to bully me but I don't bend that easily!

[She points at Yuuki.] You can't let him bully you either, mother!

	_{Ai you're making scary faces.} [But she gets it she gets it! Okay fine. Ichiru is family.] He's hardly the most difficult individual in the dome... [And the award goes to Spike...!!] But don't worry about this old woman [She's not even old right now] My redeeming quality is my stubbornness, so I've hardly given up even if he's a jerk!

	[She crosses her arms over her chest and pretends that she doesn't hear that.] I'm sure I can get through to Uncle Ichiru. It'll just take time. ['Old' her mother calls herself.] Papa would like it if Uncle Ichiru could get along with us. [Ai pretty much knows how Ichiru is, she's had plenty of stories about him growing up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[. . . She can't help smiling.] I'm sure you can. Ichiru-kun would be a fool not to want to be friends with you, Ai-chan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The plan to get Uncle Ichiru to like us has to be perfect or it'll never work. [She's already thinking of the steps she'll have to take. But enough about that. Ai moves over to eye her mother.] Are you and papa going to share a room? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The question throws her so far out of sorts that she stutters a moment, eyes widening in alarm before her face turns a bright red.] W-W...What are you saying!? Of course not...!

	[To make matters worse, she makes this really complicated because she keeps calling him 'Papa'! Reaching out she clasps her sleeve and gently tugs libhglh.] . . . Is Zero...living at our residence back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's kind of funny, the difference in reactions she gets from her mother. Twenty years from now she definitely would not get this reaction.

Maybe that comes from experience. Ai has always asked these kinds of questions rather bluntly, even as a toddler. She can remember the reaction she got out of Aidou when asking about love.]

That is one thing that is probably best if I don't answer it. [Wouldn't want to influence her mother's relationship with Zero now by telling her about the future. Ai's expression gives away nothing either, a gift she got from her father.]

He's there often enough that he might as well live with us. Though you're spending at the school more than you have been in years past.

[What with Ai being in school and all.]
