♞ 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.]

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.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

I don't make that a habit, you know.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Good, because I sure as hell don't feel like doing all this again.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Not even the flowers?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Next time, you get the flowers yourself!

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

But what if I can't tell which one looks best?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Then stop hiding and look at them.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[And he falls silent at this. You know that's a no-go, Elliot.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[It's okay, your eyes are broken anyway.]

You would know how pretty they were then.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[Excuse me, what. He snorts.]

They're not pretty.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[What's with that attitude suddenly?]

If I tell you to find flowers, I expect you to find the ones that look best. No question!

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[And what is with that sudden annoyed expression?]

What does that have to do with anything?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

We're talking about the flowers, aren't we?!

[Because, you know. He was.]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Oh. He frowns.] Never mind.

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Like he would make a comment about your beautiful eyes in public, gosh.

Well, whatever. That's not the important part.]

Hurry it up. I have something to give you.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]
