♞ IV. written & action.

[There's a little note left over the journals today. It's directed toward his housemates, but not filtered, because Elliot Nightray doesn't give a damn about filters.]

I had some flowers planted behind the house. Get used to it.

[He doesn't expect there to be any problems, but it was a hell of a lot better than telling them personally.

Alas, Elliot's business with flowers today isn't finished yet. Because his servant has severe anger issues, there is a vase that must be replaced. It'll most likely end up broken again, but today is something of a special occasion, so Elliot will go out of his way to visit the stores and find a vase, and then some flowers to put in it.

Despite being as independent as he is, though, this isn't something he normally does. He's a Nightray, dammit. That's probably why Elliot will do his best to avoid socializing as much as he can. ...more than he already does.]

It's ugly. [Perhaps "gaudy" is a more appropriate term, but whatever. He's already putting it back down.] Why aren't there any normal ones...?

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're normal here in this place?

[He plucks another off the shelf- this one at least doesn't have a strange weird pattern, but it has a strange...shape. Hmm.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[...what an odd shape. Elliot barely spares it a glance.]

Everything here comes from somewhere else.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

So this is normal somewhere else then.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Let's look somewhere else.

[Without waiting for confirmation from his servant, he walks away.]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[asdg;lk aren't we pushy today.

He hurries after him after casting a last glance at the less-than-savoury vases.]

Shouldn't they have some kind of organisation for everything here?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but if we look hard enough, we might find something better.

[Not that he's looking for something spectacular. He just doesn't want something that will embarrass him just by looking at it.]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[If he gets secondhand embarrassment from a vase, maybe he has probems...]

Something that isn't a vase?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Excuse me, Elliot Nightray refuses to own a shitty vase.]

No. That's all we need.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[Back at the orphanage, having flowers in glasses were normal, you know. Plus there's no such thing as a Nightray vase.]

I suppose a vase would look best on the piano top.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

What else would we put there?

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

They put them in wine bottles in some books.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Who would like something like that?!

[That sounds really dumb.........]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

It could look decent.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Not... entertaining the thought...]

Let's just find a damn vase and get outta here.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

It's hard to look for a decent vase if you don't even know what you want, Elliot.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

When we find a nice one, we'll take it.

[Was that really so complicated?]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

You've been picky so far.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Because they've all looked bad so far.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Weird. [Not bad. There's a difference.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Bad.

[He means what he says!]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

They're not exactly interchangeable. [Or does he say what he means?]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Both, because he is Elliot goddamn Nightray.]

That's why I said they're bad.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[Elliot, you have terrible logic.]

They're not all bad. Ah, you've just walked by one.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[That causes Elliot to stop and look around for the nearly-missed vase.]
