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.)

	So are you, Yuuki. [If she doesn't think so, herself, then he'll say it instead. As many times as it takes.] Of course. You're not alone. [There's also the Chairman, but that's kind of debatable.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She doesn't know that she is. But she doesn't fight him on the subject, either. Instead, she manages to smile.] I just don't want you to feel obligated to stay by my side. [Even if deep down she's crying out for him to please not go.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His eyes slightly widen to that.] I don't. I never have, or ever will. [Not even when it had been his "role" set by Kuran back then.] Just to be able to be beside you. . .it's all I could ever want or need. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She tries to keep slight color from rising to her cheeks. Glancing away, she lifts her drink up to take a sip from that in order to give herself a moment, suddenly preoccupied.] Mm... [It's all she responds with before trying to move on.] . . . Ai will be happy that you're moving in, I think. She seems really fond of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's probably for the best right now. He'll try as well.] I'm glad to know that. It's been nice to have her around, as odd as it also still kind of is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's the cute daughter I [Somehow] raised. So of course it is. Even if I'm still getting used to things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Do you think so? [It's an earnest question.] I'm so worried. I know it has to be painful for her that she's come from somewhere in my future. I'm concerned what kind of effect that could leave on her. I know that-- people suffer when the one they care about can't remember them.

[Obviously Kaname comes to mind.]

Right now, I'm really trying to focus on showing her that I want to be there for her.

I do. You're doing the very best you can [As is he, but it's even more personal for Yuuki] and I'm positive that she's aware of that. There isn't very much that any of us can do about there being time differences, or how there's also a discrepancy with the memories we do or don't have.

Even if it's difficult, I know that the love you both hold towards each other outweighs it all. And that's what's important.

I know. [He's right in the end. She just wants to make it as painless as possible] Ah, well... I'm doing the best that I can.

[Glancing up at him she smiles] I'm signing up to take classes again. I was doing so because I thought it would be good and to encourage Ai to as well. [. . . She frowns.] She already had, though, without my saying so.

[It's so studious.]

You should sign up for a few and join us, Zero.

	She does seem like the type. [More so than Yuuki ever really has been. . .] Oh? [A bit wry.] I suppose they would be more for killing time than not. [He really doesn't need to learn anything.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't even know if you'll be able to do school things again back home. [She points a lecturing finger at him.] You know that I probably wont ever be able to do so again, so you shouldn't take opportunities like this for granted! If it's too easy then test out or ask for a harder curriculum, but you should definitely take a couple of classes! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She does make a point. Although at the same time- ]

Should we, even though we really won't retain anything we learn once we leave this place?

[It's kind of a harsh reply, while also left ambiguous as they don't wholly even know where they'll go to. . .but isn't it true? He doesn't mean to be cold. — He also doesn't mean to be arrogant, but it's just fact that he doesn't have a need.]

Maybe I will, though. More for the sake of still having a good deal of free time.

We don't know that.

[Leaning forward on the counter top, she continues on.]

If we manage to escape, would we just vanish home? Maybe we wont at all, and it'll be up to us to find our way back. And if everyone is out of time, how do we return to the right moment? They said we've been replaced by clones, too.

[She frowns, sitting up straight once more.] In the end we don't really have any guarantees of anything. Only that we're here right now and should make the most of everything.

It'd be nice if even just one of those questions were confirmed. [frowning as well] I want to try and be optimistic in that we'll return to our respective homes without any complications. Though I also know I need to be realistic and acknowledge the other possibilities just as well.

[He's quiet for a moment.] Yeah. . . I don't care if it's a supposed virtual setting. We're still us.

	I agree. [Even if it continues to be strange that they, are in fact, within a virtual setting to begin with.] Anyway... [She thinks it might be nicer to try and lighten the mood.] If you attend, too, we can be study partners. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Zeroooo.] Do you know what she said to me? [Lifting her free hand up to her head and ducking in shame] She said that I haven't been able to help her with her homework in years. Why?
