✿ Eighth Bud [action/accidental video // backdated to the morning]

[seiriald]

[It's the dawn of a new day, the sun peeking over the mountains to bathe the villagers enjoying themselves in the wonderful Lucetiland in warm, fuzzy light. For the early risers, you may notice something unusual about the pile of stuffed animals on display in the back of one of the game booths.

Now why would a little girl be laying amongst all those comfy prizes?

Sure, she looks like she's sleeping comfortably even with all the racket, that is until she is rudely seized by one of the droids working the place around the middle, blinking and rubbing her eyes as she is handed over to a certain... someone. It is at this point when the journal she had curled up with falls open with a plop, landing perfectly among the prizes to begin recording as she's taken to the front of the booth to whoever had just won the round.

Cue one five-year-old petrified in wide-eyed shock as she stares straight into the blue eyes of the 'stranger.' In return the so called stranger mirrored the little girl's expression for a good moment, before looking from the girl to the droids, then back again.]

"A child?"

[There is now a small humanoid missile filled with LOVE~ aiming right into your stomach, Masaomi. Apologies for any injures in advance.]

Masaomi!!

[falenandawn]

[Frey can't help but grin widely at such childish antics as he follows her over at a more sedate pace. Cute.] We've been looking for you, Masaomi.

[generalflirt]

-Kaori-chan? That's-?

[It's her? A little girl again? Back again? He blinks, surprised in spite of himself to see the girl now pulled into his chest]

[tinyjasmine]

[She has no intention of letting go either, simply being glad that there was someone even remotely familiar here. A little bit of fear had almost settled into her mind before then.] Why so surprised, Masaomi-kun?

[falenandawn]

I found her in one of the booths. Aren't you glad she's doing well? [Smiling. Masaomi, don't be weird or he'll be very disappointed.]

[generalflirt]

Eeeh, I guess Frey did my job for a bit.

[He reaches down to pick up Kaori. Looking pleased with himself]

[tinyjasmine]

Oh? [His job? Whatever could that mean?] Are you going to take care of me, Masaomi-kun?

[falenandawn]

[Looking at Masaomi with a raised eyebrow.] Hmm? I was planning to take her back to the house....

[generalflirt]

Well... I was your "knight," wasn't I?

[tinyjasmine]

That's right! I told Mommy and Vade all about you! [Their reactions sure were something to see.]

[falenandawn]

[Smiling a bit.] But Masaomi, you can't cook.

[Or, you know, he can't imagine you taking care of a child.] How about you come back to the house for a while?

[generalflirt]

Fray.

I can cook now. I'm actually pretty good at it.

[He waggles his finger at Frey, smiling and mocking him a bit]

[tinyjasmine]

You can cook? [Cue wide-eyed awe, on top of being a valiant knight he can also cook!] Can you make me something please Masaomi-kun?

[falenandawn]

Oh? So you've been practicing, then?

Oh, I forgot to mention, I cleaned up your place a bit. Your neighbor helped me out. Hope you don't mind.

[Quietly making it obvious he now knows where you live? yup.]

[generalflirt]

[Ah.]

[generalflirt]

[He turns to Kaori with a big smirk!]

You betcha! I'd love to make something for a girl as cute as you!

[tinyjasmine]

[... There is tension about in this bubble, and it doesn't feel nice to a small child who has no idea of what's going on.

But hey, Masaomi wants to cook for her and he called her cute! It did feel nice to be called that.] Then, can I have pancakes?

[falenandawn]

Pancakes? [his tone is curious. If Masaomi could cook those by now he was officially impressed. if only because it took Frey forever to manage not to make them burnt or runny.]

[generalflirt]

...Can do!

[He said with only a slight false start]

[tinyjasmine]

[..... Have one! child staring at you rather intently, Masaomi. Jiiiiiiii.]

[falenandawn]

[Joining in that staring. Can he? Because if so Frey wants some too.]

[generalflirt]

...You two could be twins.

[tinyjasmine]

Twins? [That intense gaze is being directed toward Frey now, lips pursing as she tries to figure it'd what Masaomi means. Was he blind or something?]

But Masaomi-kun, we don't look alike! And I already have a twin!

[falenandawn]

[A twin....? She'd never mentioned that before. Was that the brother she spoke of?]

She's right, Masaomi. I might not have a twin but we certainly don't look alike.

[Roy is not his twin and he doesn't consider him such.]

[generalflirt]

That's so, isn't it?
