♞ IV. written & action.

[holyknights]

[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.]

Comments

[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.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Pay more attention!

[You obviously should have said something sooner.]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

I am. That's why I told you.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[So annoying, servant. When Elliot spots the vase, he reaches over to pick it up.]

What do you think?

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[Is he asking him? The one who'd said that they weren't bad, just weird? Huh.

He studies the vase a little before he makes any comments.]

It's better than the ones we've looked at so far.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Leo's opinion matters to Elliot, especially if he's going to end up staring at the vase, too.

...if he can see it past all that hair, anyway.]

It could be worse.

[It could be really... round?]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[He's not blind, you know. Partially blind, yes.]

Is that a yes then?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Blind enough! He nods slightly.]

It's fine.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Then we'll go with this one.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Let's take it and go.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[He'll hold his hand out for the vase then. Unless Elliot wants to hold it?]

Are we going back then?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

We need to find some flowers. [He picks up the vase, looking it over a moment before handing it off to Leo. Of course he expects him to carry it. Why else do you think you're here?] Then we'll go back.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[To help him make Wise Decisions, of course.]

The flower shop shouldn't be far.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

It's too hot out for this.

[And of course, they wouldn't have to be out here for this today if you hadn't broken the vase in the first place...]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing we won't be out for long, isn't it?

[And out of the item shop they go, and into the flower shop (http://isntyourfriend.livejournal.com/4486.html?thread=138374#t138374)...]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[And after that, they can head back to the house. Having fun carrying those flowers, Leo?]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[He's carried heavier. Have you seen some of the books he brings back? Either way, these flowers are pretty.]

They should last for a few days.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

If you don't break the vase.
