✿ Eleventh Bud [Action/Voice late morning]

[seiriald]

[Things hadn't been easy the past few weeks; there had been ups and downs, much more of the latter than she would ever admit to. And as far as she could tell, it would not get better any time soon. At the very least, the weather was beginning to change even if she couldn't see it for herself. There was just something about the air of spring approaching that always managed to lift her spirits a little, and what better way to greet it than to start working on that neglected garden outside of House 11? Who cares how cold it is out, the plants are of higher priority.

It isn't until after an hour or so of working that her journal falls off her person and sprawls open in the dirt, making her frown upon hearing the familiar noise of it being activated. Taking to people probably wasn't a good idea right now, but she can try.]

… What are your favorite things about spring? Or… things you like the least about it I guess. Anything really.

[Later in the evening the residents of the large household might notice that she's managed to make her way to Silver's room instead of her own, though if anyone drops by the reason should be pretty obvious. You don't go through weeks of emotional whiplash and a day out in the cold dressed improperly without coming out unscathed.]

Sundresses.

Re: [voice]

[seiriald]

... Does that mean I should wear one? [There's only the smallest hint of sarcasm there.]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

I would not object to this choice!

[voice]

[seiriald]

Then you'll have to pick it out for me, Masaomi! [And see if it can get past Frey if he knew.]

[action]

[falenandawn]

[It's shortly into the afternoon when Freyjadour returns as he usually does each day, surprised to see Kaori out in the garden. He heads over, calling out to her.] Hey.

[action]

[seiriald]

[Oh, there's a familiar voice! And obviously she had not expected it given how she abruptly drops a trowel and nearly jumps to her feet, turning her head toward where Frey was. Blinking.]

... Hi...?

[action]

[falenandawn]

[Huh?]

Are you alright?

[tsuntrader]

[IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY OF RIDICULOUSLY LONG TRAINING AND HE IS SO EXHAUSTED AND WOW, HE JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO HIS ROOM AND FLOP ON HIS BE-

...There's someone in his room.






Why is there someone in his room?]

[seiriald]

[There's someone in your room because it just happened to be the closest bed like an hour or something ago.

You might want to say something if you want a response, though. Her face is kind of red, you see.]

[tsuntrader]

[...It's Kaori. And... Is she sick? He won't say anything just yet, but he'll carefully approach her and see what's up.]

[voice - private]

[imatreenow]

[The passage of time, the change of seasons...you become deadened to it after so long. But...]

Winter becomes tiresome, with the cold weather.

[voice - private]

[seiriald]

... You like the warmer weather? [Even if there's shyness in her voice when she asks, there is also genuine curiosity. Winter did get fairly lonely...]

[voice - private]

[imatreenow]

It's more pleasant. ...Until it gets too warm, I guess.

{video}

[contempsi]

I like that the temperature is more like how it was where I lived before.

[Since it was always kept at a nice temperature. Yeah, he's not very helpful here...]

{video}

[seiriald]

... But that can be any temperature. [Spring in one world could be very different from another's!]

{video}

[contempsi]

Well, I mean... the temperature of spring here, I guess. I've never heard of seasons before I came here.

[voice]

[subsultive]

It's warm and it always smells nice. Mother used to have flowers in front of the house, and I'd sit by them and read.

[Hi, Kaori. ♥]

[voice]

[seiriald]

[Oh hi, Luca. Long time no see. ♥]

Don't you still get to do that here?

[voice]

[subsultive]

Well, it's been rather cold as of late, so not exactly.... Reading inside is nice and all, but it gets loud at the house.

[Action] - By the garden

[chibifalenas]

[Lym waves to the other girl a bit, sitting on the porch herself wrapped up in several blankets with a blank look on her face.]

[Action]

[seiriald]

[Unfortunately for both of them, Kaori isn't aware of Lym waving toward her... So it might seem like she's ignoring her.]

[chibifalenas]

HEY! Is everything okay?

[Lym sort of hops up in that way someone wrapped in a great number of blankets doesn't do well and flails]

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, the cherry blossoms that spring up on the cherry tree! And the smell of spring, too; I think it's quite beautiful.

[Voice]

[seiriald]

[Oh... her.

Just try to stay calm and not say anything too rash... Argh, this was more difficult than before, now that she knew she was someone important to Mithos.]

You like cherry trees a lot, ma'am?

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Mmn. There was a big beautiful cherry tree where I used to live--I would nap under it quite often, especially in the spring. Even though we have one here, I rather miss that particular tree.
