♞ 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.]

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]

[what]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

...here?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

The sooner we get back to the house, the sooner I can give it to you.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Why does it have to be back at the house? [But he walks a little faster, just in case. He has an idea why— and frankly, he hasn't said anything about it because he frankly sees no reason to bring up his birthday, but Elliot clearly remembers.]
