Fourth Rose: Flower Adoption [VIDEO]

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya is showing an outside display of potted flowers getting a well deserved bath in the rain. The droplets of water roll off petals of various shades and shapes. Despite the gloomy weather, they make the atmosphere livelier.]

With the change in weather, some flowers may not take to this change well. Perhaps someone can give them a nice home with proper care so they won't just wilt away. With that said, the flower shop will take thirty percent off all flowers on display outside. The other flowers will only get ten percent off your purchase.

[He turns the camera around so it could face himself. Aya is smirking in light amusement.]

If you can beat me at darts, you can get a voucher for a free order of flowers.

Well... I suppose it could spruce up the old garden.

[formerabyssinian]

[Is that...really Mickey Mouse...]

It certainly can. Any particulars you're interested in?

[takesyoubytheheart]

[He notices and recognizes the look, he gets it a lot.]

It's all fine, I don't know much about 'em. That was Minnie's specialty.

... And yup, I'm a mouse.

[formerabyssinian]

[He's so telling Ken about this.]

I...see.

[Okay, even that much is obvious.] I figured. [He tries to act a bit more professional about this...conversation.] I asked since I could hold flowers for you so they won't be sold to other customers.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Naw, ya don't gotta hold back on account of me! Shucks, I'll take anythin', and we should all share.

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya firmly believes that this is so very unreal. He is not surprised by the reply. It actually freaks him out internally because of how accurate it is.]

Of course. Well, they'll be here when you're ready. I'm sure they'll make a good addition to your garden, or even a windowsill.

[takesyoubytheheart]

My name is Mickey Mouse. What's yers?

[formerabyssinian]

It's Aya. [He pauses in hesitation at wanting to inquire about something.] Is...Minnie here? [Because it's a valid question.]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Have a sad smile.]

Naw, she left a while ago. She's safe and sound back home.

[ACTION] You're baaaack !!

[applepies]

[Asato stands on the shop's doorway, a couple of bouquets carefully cradled in his arms and smiles at his boss/neighbor/friend.

If Aya is attentive enough, he can see some sadness behind the warm, seemingly happy expression.]

I'll gladly take some, you know.

I am~! :D

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya looks over to Asato, seeing the bouquets in his arms. He returns the smile, although he can see that Asato's isn't all that genuine.]

I'd appreciate that. What's the occasion? [He walks over to the register from where he was near the shelves.]

Yay ! <33

[applepies]

Oh, nothing special. I just want to put some colours in the house. [He sniffs some of the flowers and seems to relax a bit.]

I could even make a few arrangements.

[formerabyssinian]

That would be appreciated. I'm sure there will be more customers coming in today.

[Aya looks to Asato in concern, as he did notice that look earlier.]

How are you doing?

[applepies]

Yes, I think so too. [Asato puts the flowers down and starts looking for vases and other accessories.]

Oh... I am alright, I suppose...

[formerabyssinian]

Is it anything you want to talk about? [He takes out some ribbon and scissors to get Asato started.]

[applepies]

Thank you ! [And Asato starts to work, showing great taste in his arrangements.]

Ah... I am just worried for a friend...

[formerabyssinian]

May I ask why?

[ V I D E O ]

[cheapshinigami]

[He ponders at the offer for a moment and decides to contact Aya.]

I believe Tsuzuki might like some.

[formerabyssinian]

Oh? [Aya smiles in slight amusement.] Have you been reading a few helpful books lately?

[He's totally teasing you, Tatsumi.

[cheapshinigami]

[He chokes somewhat before replying to Aya's teasing.]

I er... I just remembered Tsuzuki is fond of plants. [No, he's not thinking romantic at all, right?]

[formerabyssinian]

[Oh, Tatsumi. Aya smiles a bit more.]

You're very thoughtful, then. Are you going to give him a bouquet or a few flowers?

[cheapshinigami]

I am willing to challenge you for a free order of flowers.

[Smirks. Yes, cheap as ever...]

[formerabyssinian]

[Oh, his first challenger.]

Is that so. Name the time, then.

[Omi isn't the only one who's good at darts.]

[cheapshinigami]

I could do that right now, if you wish it so.

[formerabyssinian]

That's completely fine by me.
