goldenglasses | [Accidental Voice]

[You know, Senri could notice right away that this new kid entering the flower shop looks suspiciously familiar to one of his friends. A friend that he happens to see there quite frequently.

But fortunately enough for Senri's brain, between being much tinier and having long girly hair he's more or less wondering if Vash had a little brother he just never knew about. Wondering so much in fact that he will pause from his duty of staring lovingly at the flowers to stare slightly-confused-but-mostly-curiously at the mini Vash.]

[Vash is a little too busy to notice the strange stares he gets. He runs back and forth between all the flowers. Gazing at them all lovingly for a moment before moving on. That is until he gets to the red geraniums. That's where he finally stops and carefully reaches out to slowly turn the pot. Wanting to take in every petal.]

[Yes and that is precisely when Senri will snap out of thinking mode and gently-but-firmly grab the flowerpot to stop the pot from turning. Because he is just a tiny bit protective of the flowers. Especially these flowers since they are a constant reminder of his first... well... technically second meeting with Vash when he learned how precious these flowers were and how to take care of them.]

[Vash looks up at the tall man a little confused. Last time he had been in Luceti and visited the flower shop no one had really stopped him from anything.]

I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?

...

[See, normally this is the part where I'd go on about how "If he was a normal human being capable of normal conversation he would tell mini Vash that he shouldn't touch the flowers like that, but he's not a normal person capable of normal conversation." but you know what? He is going to answer this question. Verbally. It's too bad bitty Vash cannot quite appreciate this considering that getting Senri to use his words is like pulling hens teeth.]

don't break them

[THEY ARE SPECIAL TO HIM OKAY ;A;]

Break them-? Oh! I would never break them! That would be bad if I did that!

[Being mentally a kid himself, being given his word actually puts Senri back at ease. Checking the flower just to make sure it was okay anyways. It was, but he did realize that it could use a little water when he poked at the soil. Pausing for a minute before wandering off to go grab the watering can.]

[As Senri leaves Vash goes back to staring closely at the flower. This time he doesn't touch the pot, not sure if he's allowed to or not.

He can see why Rem loves this plant so much above the others. It's beautiful.]

[After completing his epic and harrowing mission to procure a watering can and fill it up. (seriously there was a fire breathing dragon and a princess in another castle and everything Vash should have went with him*) he will come back with the hard one gardening tool in hand to ~~sprinkle some water on~~ deliver some much needed liquid H2O to the ~~poor. slightly thirsty~~ dramatically wilting flower.

*my artistic interpretation of the event, may be subject to dramatization]

Edited (what is HTML fail) 2012-03-18 04:52 (UTC)

[Vash watches in aw as the soil soaks up the water.] How do you know how much they need?a

[after sprinkling a little water onto the soil, he'll poke it with his finger to make sure that is actually is damp enough now. He seems to be really satisfied with his work.]

Better now.

[Slowly Vash will reach out with one of his fingers, wanting to feel what Senri had felt. He stops within an inch of the soil to look up at Senri, looking for some sign that it was alright for him to touch the plant again.]

[Well little Vash, if it doesn't look like Senri has any objections, it's because he doesn't. Since the awkwardly silent teen get's that the kid is just going to do what he just did and he already knows that's not going to hurt it.]

[Vash smiles, happy to not being told to stop. He reaches carefully into the dirt and feels the moist soil.] So, when it's that wet, they're all set?

[Nod yes. Okay so in reality it's way more complicated then that because different flower species like different levels of moisture at different times.

...but hey that's just about all that Senri knows too, so they can skip all of that stuff... and risk the possibility of inadvertently killing some flowers, but hey that's life.]

Wow. [Vash leans his head down on his hands. Looking up at the flowers for a different angel.] They're so beautiful.

[Even though he doesn't say it, Senri agrees with him. He likes all the tiny little flowers blossoming even though the plant itself is kinda big.]

[doo dee doo he's just going to look around at the other flowers in the shop now.]

[WHEN SUDDENLY-]

[THEY ACTUALLY HAVE HIS FAVORITE FLOWER SPECIES EVER NOW.]

[brb kid ditching to you go stare lovingly at these flowers IT'S JUST THAT IMPORTANT TO HIM OKAY]

[For awhile Vash doesn't mind being alone. He can turn the flower now without being yelled at. Although he does start to get hungry and that's when he notices the flower Senri is looking at.]

Hey, what kind of flower is that one?

[Senri is glad Vash asked! Okay so not really he is just glad that it is finally here and that happiness just sort of transfers into his answer. He is practically giddy compared to his usual self, which to be fair isn't saying that much...]

Crystal

Crystal? They sure are pretty like crystal.

[And now he will pull out his book, and flip it open to the first page. There is a pressed and dried version of the flower. It had been in there for many years. And now he'll show it to baby Vash.]

Crystal

[SEE? IT'S CRYSTAL'S FLOWER SEE SEE SEE HE KEPT IT ALL THIS TIME HE'S A GOOD BOY.]

Hey! That's the same flower! Another crystal flower! [Nope. Doesn't get it.]

[See, and the magical thing about Senri is......... it doesn't matter! He is still sufficiently pleased with that answer (mostly because he's already in a good mood, and short of Vash trying to take away or otherwise demolish the book no response to that could have really displeased him) and closes the book, putting it back where it's nice and safe in his ~~fanny pack~~ bag.]

Is this flower from your world? Is it in lots of worlds?

[Senri takes a moment (or several) to contemplate the question. He knows the flower is from home which he does remember being different from luceti but...

Even if he was... more vocal, he doesn't quite get how to answer that question. The idea of multiple words is not only confusing, but also a pretty muddled concept when you have day-to-day amnesia problems and drift through life like a space cadet.]

[Vash stands, smiling, waiting for an answer as his new friend thinks it over.]

[ARE YOU READY FOR THIS VASH?
'CAUSE HIS ANSWER IS GONNA BLOW YOUR LITTLE MIND

............ after a few minutes Senri just blinks, and looks at him.
As if wondering why he was smiling and looking at him unexpectedly like that.
How anticlimactic.]

Um... do you... not know?

[...
does this mildly confused look say "yes"?]

Edited (brackets killed my goldfish) 2012-03-30 04:30 (UTC)

You should try to find out someday!

[That was all well and good, and Senri was enjoying this conversation a lot, but then he happened to notice one of the flowers wiggle a little... directing his attention towards it for a moment...

When suddenly...

from behind a flower....

A BEE!]

[At first Vash doesn't notice the bee. Too busy enjoying the flower, then he hears the bee flying around.] Oh, a bee. [Totally not as cool as this flower.]

[oh come on Vash this bee is totally cool and interesting! Senri is totally paying attention to it now instead of the flower.

...

Probably because now it's flying around his head and it's kind of distracting when it does that.]

[When it was farther away Vash was more interested in the flower, now that it's closer however-] If you don't move or scare it, it won't sting you.

[If there was a list of things Senri was going to do at this exact moment, moving is definitely not one of them. Rather he'll just follow the be with his eyes. He was so zen about all of this that the bee decided to land on him! Because clearly this thing before it was not a threatening creature ...or even an animated object.

Which wasn't a big deal, but Senri is aware of that he is not in fact a giant flower. So he will gently try and shoo the bee off of him.]

[Vash starts to reach forward, then stops himself.] A-aah! Don't do that! If you scare it, it will sting you!

[No see it's cool he has been around plenty of bees before, between his flower gazing and love of honey. Instead of freaking out and stinging it will lazily fly off, do a couple loops....

and land on Vash's brightly colored shirt.

...and for his part, Senri was still pretty chill about all of this. Oh? A bee landed on you? That's nice. Oh look some flowers.]

[Vash tries to flinch away as the bee lands on him. He shuts his eyes tight and nearly strains the muscles in his neck as he head tries to escape his shoulder.

He also makes a small strained noise that almost makes him sound like a upset puppy. Just stay still, Rem said if you stay still they won't sting.]

[Being the... well... person chronologically closest to an adult in this situation, Senri probably should tell him that it's all right or shoo the bee off of him or well.... something. But nope. He's going to be completely useless watching the bee crawl along Vash's shirt, mildly confused as to why the kid is so flinchy. Bee's make honey and pollinate flowers, so they are good!

the bee will fly away..... only to land on Vash's shoulder ~~it found the fruitylicious scent of his shampoo to be irresistible]~~

[Vash's breath picks up a bit as the bee flies closer to his face. It's taking all of his willpower to not panic and start crying. Rem said that if he doesn't move the bee won't sting him and he's trusts here. But it's so hard! His breath leaves in a quiver as the little boy lets out a small whimper, pleading mentally to the bee to leave.]

[and the bee is going to do it's bee thing and realize that it's new perch is most definitely not a food source, and lazily loop it's way back to the flowers. Crisis averted!

And Senri, being the amazingly helpful person that he has been throughout this entire ordeal, is going to stare and blink in confusion. He doesn't get why baby Vash was so upset, it was just a little bee.]

[Vash finally relaxes as the bee flies away. Letting out a large breath of air.] Phew! That was a close one! I thought it might sting me for a minute!

[Amelia doesn't reply right away. She's too busy staring at her journal, wondering what on Gunsmoke is actually playing on her page. Because everything from those names to that blonde hair and that goofy grin really only means this kid can be one person.

And that makes this all very weird.]

...Vash?

[Vash stares at the book for awhile. Head tipping slightly as he looks Amelia over carefully.] I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you. How do you know my name?

[Well, that answers that. Amelia somehow retrains the desire to smack her forehead in "thanks" to the Malnosso, instead focusing on the kid.]

I'm a friend of Wolf--Nicholas. [And of Vash's, but that won't help much just now.] We live in the same house, actually. He's told me about you.

My name's Amelia. Are you okay? You're not hurt or anything?

No, I'm not hurt.

Nicholas lives with someone now? That's good! I'm glad he still had friends, I feel bad that I left him.

[...So very Vash. Good to know he started young.]

A couple of someones, but I better leave that up to him to explain. And you shouldn't feel bad. I don't think you had much of a choice when you left.

Where are you? The weather doesn't look all that good. You shouldn't be out in it if it starts to rain.

It might start raining!? Really? Will it start soon!?

[Sorry, forgot your question. Too excited about rain.]

[Oh yeah. It's Vash.]

Calm down. Even if it does, you should get inside. It'll be colder if it rains.

Tell me where you are.

I'm in the forest! [Oh, so helpful.]

[Very helpful. Lucky Vash is a kid, or Amelia would be calling him an idiot.]

Are you near a river, or any buildings?

Um. [Vash looks around.] OH! The lake isn't too far from here!

[Oh good. He's really far away then.]

You knew you were in Luceti before, so does that mean you know how to get to the village from there? If you can tell me what direction you're going in, I can meet you partway.

Uh-huh! I follow the river until I see the town!

You're going to come find me? You don't have to do that, I know how to get back.

But you don't know how to get to Nicholas's house, and I do.

Oh!? You will!? That will be great! Thank you!

Yeah, no problem.

[Not as far as that's concerned, at least.]

So, what exactly do you remember from...the last time you were here?

Um. It was snowing and I fell down on the ice a lot. Wolfwood and I had a snowball fight and umm... [A small pause as he tries to recall everything.] A nice fairy gave me some seeds and-

[Suddenly Vash goes quiet.]

Oh no. I didn't warn Rem when I went back. How could I forget!?

[Normal things, and not what Amelia wants to hear. She almost consoles herself that at least it isn't anything bad, except Vash suddenly goes quiet. She's about to ask why when the whisper comes across.]

Everyone forgets. It's not your fault.

But I can't forget! I have to warn Rem!

But you... [Amelia sighs. She already knows this isn't going to work. She's talking to Vash. Younger, yeah, but still just as stubborn. She doesn't want to give him false hope, especially since this has to be some sort of experiment, but he could go on like this for hours.

So after a bit of silence on her end, she tries again.]

When you get here, write yourself a note and keep it in your pocket. It'll remind you.

[It's a good move for Amelia, as Vash had just begun to start crying. The note to himself seems like a great idea and it hushes his tears right up.]

That's a good idea! I'll need to borrow some paper and a pen though.

[Oh crap. No, Amelia really doesn't want tears. Which is why she's very glad her idea works.]

Like I said, you can write it when you get here. We've got plenty.

Okay! I have to do it right away when I get there, okay? It's very important.

Yeah, okay. But you still have to get somewhere I can find you first.

Okay! Um. [He takes a minute, looking around and trying to remember everything from his last visit.] I think I'm following the river to the west of the village!

Alright. I know where that is. [And where it lets out: on the opposite side of the village, of course.] Keep following it, and I'll head for that side of town.

[She's about to leave, when Amelia thinks better of it. She grabs paper and a pen for Vash, along with her journal. Might as well ease the kid's worries, for whatever it's worth.]

[When Amelia catches up to Vash he's still following the the river toward the village. Only he's going a little slow. Often getting distracted by a tree or some mud or this stone he's currently throwing into the river.

OH! That splash was a big one! Bet it would make a bigger splash with this bigger rock! He's so engrossed with his small exploration now that he doesn't have to worry about forgetting to warn Rem of the ship exploding that he doesn't even notice Amelia getting close!]

[Coming up on Vash in person brings back all the shock of first seeing him over the journals. But the similarities are all there, from his looks to how easily he's distracted by everything. It really can't be anyone else but him.]

Vash! [Amelia calls out, and hopefully doesn't get hit by a rock in the process. Pay attention, boy.]

[Vash smiles when he sees her, dropping his rock in order to close the distance between them with a quick run.] Hello, Miss Amelia! You found me!

Yeah. It wasn't too hard.

[She reaches into her jacket, fishing out the paper and pen she brought along.]

I brought you stuff so you could write your note too. You probably want to take care of that now, right?

[You wouldn't think it possible, but Vash's face grows even brighter. He reaches for the paper and pen excitedly and plops right down as soon as he has them.] Thank you Miss Amelia! Thank you! This is really important!

[He takes out his journal for something hard to write on and starts writing his note to himself. He's not hiding it at all so if Amelia wants to spy Vash writes:

Don't forget to tell Rem that something happens with the steering on the ship and it crashes according to Mr. Bluesummer. Have Joey run a diagnostic right away.

He breaths a sigh of relief once the note is written. He'll then carefully fold it and place it into his pocket. Pushing it down deep.]

[Of course Amelia looks, and scowls when she notices the name. Damn Legato. He's not even in Luceti any more and he's still causing trouble.

Still, she doesn't want to pry. Vash had been okay before, right up until Amelia asked what he remembered. She isn't going to risk a repeat.]

You all set?

Yup! All set! Are you sure I won't take up too much space staying with you?

[What's up, little Vash, you aren't the only one around the fountain today! Naoki seems to be heading there as well— Rather engrossed in reading something, it takes him a bit to notice someone else there, but.

Don't mind if he watches you for a few, Vash, blinking.]

[Vash is a little too distracted to notice the stares. This fountain has an awesome ledge that needs to be walked around! Not to mention that water! Once he gets done pretending to walk on a tight rope, Vash reaches in to splash at the water.]

AH! That's cold! [Not that the cold stops him from laughing and splashing again.]

[Heh. Naoki chuckles to himself, watching the antics.] Careful you don't wind up falling in, there.

Oh! I'll be careful mister! That'd be TOO cold!

Good to hear. Being sopping wet isn't so fun, after all.

[Even less so if one has as much hair as Vash does...]

Well, maybe if it was a little warmer out it could be!

Oh yeah. If it was hot, I might join you in jumping on in the fountain.

Hey! Do you know how to swim?

I do, yeah. [He grins, questioningly.] Why?

If it warms up, do you think you could teach me!?

[He blinks-- Caught by surprise by the request, but soon he laughs.] Sure, why not. I've never tried teaching someone, but I can give it my best shot.

Really! Oh boy! I hope it warms up soon!

We're practically into spring, so it's not going to be too long now before it's summertime.

Really!? Do you think we could go swimming next week!? [That's how seasons work, right?]

Ah— I don't think it'll be quite warm enough by then. I think we'd need a couple of months, at least.

A couple months! But that seems so long from now! What if I don't stay in Luceti for that long!

[Hmmm, well—] I guess if you'd wanna learn right away, there are the hot springs, up in the mountains. They're warm all year 'round.

[Though you're not really supposed to swim in them, per say, and they aren't that deep... But bah, rules!]

Hot springs?

[Naoki grins.] Just a little body of water, not as big as lakes or ponds—the ones we have, anyway. But they're always warm. Nice place to go to for relaxing.

How come they stay warm all the time, is it magic!?

Heh, nah— Though you never know, it could be for Luceti.

But where I'm from it's 'cause the earth where the water comes out of is warm. So, the water is warmed.

Really? But the ground usually feels pretty cold to me!

Mm, well! In certain spots the water can get deeper down into the earth; and the deeper you go, the warmer it is.

Wow! Really? Is the ground hot to walk on too? Is it kinda like walking on lava?

Deep down there it probably is like that. [He taps the ground with a foot.]

[Vash looks down in utter amazement at the ground.] Wow... but isn't that dangerous?

A little-- But it's deep down enough you'd never even notice or think about it, usually.

Oh, so it's still safe then? Even the hot spring? You won't boil?

Nope, you won't boil. You don't wanna stay in too long, though, or you'll get all red.

I want to see these hot springs! They seem really cool!

Then maybe you'll get a chance. I could take you up there one day, if you'd want.

I'd like that a whole lot!

Heh, then it's a plan. I'm Naoki, by the way.

I'm Vash! It's very nice to meet you!

[Vash? For a moment, Naoki's expression betrays his surprise.

...]

--aah. Yeah, it's nice to meet you too, Vash. [He smiles.]

Is there something wrong? [Most people don't look so surprise when you tell them your name.]

Oh-- [Darn it, his face gives away things so easily.]

No, no, I just, uh. I knew someone with that same name before. [A nervous sort of shrug.]

Really? I've met anyone with the same before! What was he like?!

Mm... Very boisterous. Good guy, though.

Boisterous? Isn't that bad?

Nah. [Here Naoki grins.] It just means he's a pretty noisy guy. Couldn't miss him in a crowd.

Good! I'm glad someone with my same name is a good guy! Even if he is... bois-ter-ous!

[He grins.] Yep, no worries there. I mean, everyone has their traits, huh?

That's kinda what Rem says! That we're all different in our own ways!

That's right. This Rem sounds pretty smart.

She is, very smart.

...I miss her and Knives. I wish they were here with me.

[Naoki gives him a sympathetic look.]

Hopefully it won't be too long until you see them again.

Yeah, I really miss them when I'm here, but I like it here. There's so many cool things to see and it's not quiet like the ship is. I hate how quiet and empty the ship can feel. Everything here is alive and I have so many friends here, but...

...I wish the crew and Knives where here. All the sleeping people too. Then it would be perfect.

...I like it here, too, [Naoki admits, though more curiosity comes into his expression.] The--ship?

Yeah, I live on a ship right now. We're looking for a new home.

You are...?

[Naoki pauses in asking-- Should he ask about this, especially if Vash may return to his usual self in a little while's time? He's torn by his own curiosity and his own limits he puts on himself when it comes to asking about things.]

Yeah, I hope we find some place like this. We're going to build a war where there's no war or stealing. Where everyone can live their lives in peaceful days!

[Naoki reaches out impulsively, putting a hand on Vash's head.] I hope you do. It's better when there's no fighting.

[Vash looks up with a smile.] Yeah! Much better! No one should ever have to fight!

Yeah. [His expression is faraway, for a moment, and his hand drops down. He smiles.] Nothing comes of it, really...

[...] Naoki? Are you okay?

--eh? Oh. [He clears his throat, sheepish.] Yeah, of course. Just remembering some stuff.

Like what?

I-- Fought, for a while. 'Cause I had to, but I disliked it more than anything. [Naoki doesn't like fighting--even though he knows he has to. When he has to he will, but he can't imagine ever enjoying it.] So I can understand wanting a world of peace.

It's what I was working toward.

Oh. I'm sorry. I wish nobody anywhere had to fight, ever.

No worries. [He smiles.] I wish the same, too. Maybe one of these days...

We should find a way so you can come back with me! Rem and the crew are going to make a world of peace! You can come with us!

Ah... [He's struck silent, surprised by the offer. And touched by it, kind as it is.] Thank you, [sincerely.]

But I should stay here in Luceti, a little while more.

Oh, okay. [The boy blushes suddenly as he actually stops to think about what he offered.] And you probably have people at home you miss too, huh?

I do. [He notices the blush and chuckles, eyes seeming to brighten.] But thanks. Really. I appreciate it-- Maybe one day I could come and visit, though, if you'd still have me.

I'd like that! It gets a little lonely on the ship with just the crew awake!

[Oi, Naoki, you shouldn't pry, what if-- The question slips out before he knows it, though:] Why is it just the crew awake?

Rem says that all the people have to sleep so they're ready for the fight that awaits them on the new world we're going to make for them.

I see. [Naoki nods slowly, then,] Who is Rem, anyhow...?

Edited 2012-03-22 01:25 (UTC)

[He smiles softly, yet a little sadly.] Rem's one of the crew, but she's also the one who teaches me and Knives stuff, and plays with us too.

Is she like...family? [Is what he asks after a moment, looking thoughtful.]

[Vash face blushes slightly as he looks down at his feet.] Well, I'd like to think... yeah, the crew is like a family.

[He grins a little at the reaction.] S'nice to be around people who're close to you like that.

Yeah, it is, but I still wish there were more people awake on the ship to talk to.

It's always nice when there're a lot of people to talk to, yeah. [Pause...] But you're here in Luceti now for a bit, huh? Good chance to talk to more and more people.

Yeah! That's part of the best thing about being here! There's so many different people to talk to here!

Yup! That's one of the things that I like most about it, too.

Do you have lots of friends here yet? Have you been here long?

Me? Yeah. [He smiles. Hey, more than two (which he had back home) is 'lots', really.] I was here for a while. But I ended up going home for a while and just got back recently...

I just got back recently too! Just today even!

Really? [Naoki grins.] So we have something in common.

So we can be friends too, right?

Yeah. For sure!

Really!? Thank you! I love making friends! I want to have lots and lots someday!

[He goes a bit pink.] Y-you don't need to thank me for that.

But I understand the feeling. I'd like that, too.

Let's make lots of friends together then!

[Naoki laughs--] Sounds good. More friends than we'll know what to do with.

Yeah! Lots and lots of friends!

[Alexei will be at the flower shop when Vash pops in there, though he won't recognize him at all. His mind was off somewhere else, still trying to get over the fact that Bellemere was gone.

Meanwhile, a certain black cat that was following him around did take notice of Vash. He seem rather confused, tilting his head to one side. He seem to recognize Vash, by scent but...Vash sure looked a lot different than he remember. Was this the same Vash?]

[Vash is amazed by all the flowers that greet him when he enters. He spends a few moments taking it all in before he spots Alexei. Ah-ha! An adult!

Vash makes his way over and shyly tugs at the man's cape.] Excuse me, mister. Do you know if they still have red geraniums here?

[Alexei glances down at the boy who was tugging him.] Geraniums...? [...Unfortunately Vash picked the wrong person to ask about flowers.]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the different types of flowers. You would have to describe it. [Hermes will be circling Vash peculiarly for the time being]

[Vash leans down to pet at the cat that circles him. It sure is cute!] Well, they're red and they have lots of petals, around five or so!

[...Welp, that only helped a little.] ...I'm not sure if they're the right flowers, but I did see something further back. If you'll come this way.

[He'll start moving, Hermes follows behind although he stops just ahead of Vash to make sure he was following]

Okay! [Vash will follow closely behind, sweeping his eyes over all the other flowers that they pass.]

[... The voice was only vaguely familiar, but the names he says are a dead giveaway. Wow, it's been a really long time since she'd heard Vash with such a young-sounding voice that she had nearly forgotten.]

But you can get all the cake you want for free here, y'know.

Yeah, but this was my first birthday cake! So it was special! Rem worked really, really hard to make it special for us!

Oh, I see... [Rem, she was the woman who was very important to Vash, wasn't she? Sort of like a mother or big sister by the sounds of it.]

Well, what do you want to do? What if someone else made you a cake?

Oh... I don't know... [He did not think of that.] They wouldn't have to do that. I'll have the cake when I go home as time still stands still back home, right?

That's what they say! [But Vash, it's your birthday and that's a very important occasion!]

So you remember being here before?

Uh-huh, but there was a lot of snow here the last time.

Huh? But isn't there snow on the ground now, or was it all melted away by rain?

I think most of it has melted away. I see little clumps of it here and there still, but not all over the place like last time.

But you're not cold, are you? Just because there's not a lot doesn't mean that you should go out there without being dressed warmly enough, right?

[And who is taking care of you?!]

I am a little cold, but it's alright! When I get to town I'll find the shop with all the clothes in it and get some shoes!

Okay... [She's just going to have to take your word for it because she can't exactly see how well you're dressed.]

And make sure you have somewhere warm and safe to stay, yeah? Do you remember who you stayed with last time you were here?

Uh-huh, but my friend Nicholas is going to let me stay at his place this time! He says he has an extra room so I won't be any trouble.

Nicholas? Who's that? [So many questions she has right now.]

He's my friend! We met the last time I was here, but he went home even longer than I did and now he's a grown up!

He did? Does he remember you being friends the last time you were here, then?

Uh-huh! Of course he remembers me! We're friends!

Well yeah, your heart will always remember a friend once you make one... But sometimes the memory doesn't, y'know?

Not really, no.

[I heard my name by a voice I know. Ooooh boy. How unsurprisingly surprising. He clears his throat, looking unsure about how to go about this; looks like the tables are turned on him.]

Nicholas, huh?

Yeah. [Hold on. Staring at the little picture of you funnily. There's something about you...] Do you know him mister?

Hmmm, something like that. What, I don't look familiar?

[Lemme just start up a cigarette, it's gonna be a long day.]

Well, um... you do. [A pause as he tries to figure this out. He wasn't gone from Luceti very long; or so he thinks.]

...are you his dad?

Nope! You're sort of close, though. Don't tell me you've forgot me already; that's just hurtful.

[Wait... he can't mean- can he? But he's so big!]

N-Nicolas?

That's right! Is it really so surprising? I mean, I don't think I changed too much.

Nicholas!? You got so big!

[He wasn't gone THAT long! Or at least, he doesn't think he was.]

Are you a Plant too!?

A-ahaha, not really, no. You've just been gone for a pretty long time, is all!

[HALF-TRUTHS WORK FOR ME.]

But it was only a couple months!

Well, I went back home for a long time, too, right? And then came back older.

A lot older... you're as old as Joey now!

[Who? :|a

Not important! What's more important is figuring out where the heck you are.]

That's right. And as an adult, I have to make sure you're not getting yourself into trouble. Where are you, exactly?

I'm in the forest. Your friend Amelia is coming to find me.

Oh, yeah? That's good; she's a close friend, so make sure you listen to what she says. She's been here a hell of a long time. You remember everything from last time, right?

Most everything! I remember the snowball fight we had!

Right, right. It's only been, uh... a year since then? Though I've been back since then. Did you notice how much the place's changed since then?

[y'know. Spring being here in 4 days, things being less hideously cold, that whole shebang?

Also yes, he's keeping your attention until Amelia can find you and drag you home.]

Edited 2012-03-25 07:03 (UTC)

[Good luck with that, as Wolfwood may hear some splashing as Vash tosses some rocks into the river.]

Uh-huh! I sure did! All the neat snow is gone! And the ground is all wet! Amelia says it might rain soon, do you think it will!? I've never seen real rain before!

Never seen it, huh? Well, you're in luck, because you're bound to see some spring rain. [He wants to say before you're back to adult size, but that would probably panic a kid, amirite. :|] And hey, careful around water; you don't know how to swim, right?

N-no. I don't. [HOW DO YOU KNOW MY DEEP DARK- oh wait, this Vash doesn't care how you know.] But I'm being careful! I'm just throwing rocks in! I'll stay away from the edge! I promise!

Well, as long as you promise. After all, breaking promises is a pretty big offense, right? [He nods.] When you run into Amelia, take her word for things, alright? She can lead you to the house and get you something to eat.

If you're hungry.

Yeah! I kinda am a little hungry. [Someone was trying to save as much room as he could for the cake he was suppose to get.]

Why wouldn't I believe what Miss. Amelia tells me?

Well, because she's—wait.

... You weren't taught about stranger danger, were you?

[Or did you just blissfully ignore lessons on it. :|]

Stranger danger?

[Dude. I lived on a ship with only five other people. What's a stranger?]

Mm... some of the people here in Luceti can be pretty dangerous, y'know. That's why you have to make sure they're not anyone you should be avoiding through one of your friends here, right?

But everyone here is so nice. Just because they're strong doesn't mean they're dangerous, right?

That's why you've gotta be careful; not everyone is nice. We get some really mean people around here sometimes, y'know.

But why would they want to be mean? Everyone is so nice here, not scary at all or anything.

Lesson one, kiddo: not everyone is nice. Just be careful, huh?

There aren't a lot of mean people here, but sometimes the mean ones are particularly mean.

[He doesn't get it. He's always figured he did something wrong to make Steve be mean to him. He wasn't mean to anyone else.]

Why would they want to be mean? Are they scared of something?

Well, maybe. Hard to say why they're mean, but the fact is, some people can be jerks for no good reason.

But, there's always a reason. [Isn't there? That's what he's always thought.]

It's possible, but you wouldn't want to stick around to find out, in case they try to hurt you.

B-But why would they want to hurt me? They won't want to hurt me if I show them I'm not scary or a monster, right?

[Sigh.]

Sometimes people don't hurt others because they're scared of them, unfortunately.

...

It's complicated.

I don't understand. If there's no reason, why would anyone be mean?

[He knows his friend just said it's complicated, but he can't help but stay focus on such an important topic.]

Hey, hey, just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I have all the answers to why people act like they do. Just keep yourself out of trouble, and you won't have to worry about that.

O-okay? I'll be good and not get in trouble. [Although he's pretty confused right now.]

[Lady in the kitchen with a mixing bowl out, some flour and some eggs, and reaching up for a big ol' bag of sugar. It is cake making time, because she is craving cake mix.

Don't ask. Pregnancy cravings do not require logic.

Whether or not she is going to end up baking the cake mix is another matter entirely but right now, she is happily derping about in the kitchen wearing a big apron and humming to herself.]

[There's a shy little boy watching you work. He's a master of stealth as he stands hiding half behind the door frame. He's not sure what you're making, but it does look like a lot of work. So after a bit of bravery coaching from himself he finally steps bravely out from the door frame!

Or so he thinks is bravely. More like he shuffles a little farther out from behind the door frame, but leans on it, ready to flee if he needs to.]

Um... it looks like a lot of work that you're doing there. Do- do you need any help?

Oh!

[Well Milly wasn't expecting to see any little people in the kitchen, especially not little people she's not seen before.]

Where on earth did you come from sweetie? Are you lost?

[Vash shakes his head.] No, my friend Nicholas and Amelia said that I could stay here. My name's Vash.

It's nice to meet you Vash! My name's Milly. Do you know I have a very good friend who's called Vash too, it's a lovely name.

Actually, come to think of it, he looks a lot like you, except his hair's all spiky...

Gosh, what funny coincidence!

You know a Vash too? Someone else I met today knew a Vash too! They said they one they knew was very boisterous.

Oh yes, he's very boisterous but he's also one of the kindest, nicest people I know.

I wonder where he's got to, I bet he'd love to meet you!

He's here!? I thought maybe he was in another world! Do you really think he'd like to meet me? Do you think he'd like me? [Because you'd totally know having just met him two seconds ago.]

You know, I don't see why he wouldn't! Mr. Vash seems to like just about everybody, he's very affable.

You know it's funny, I haven't seen him all day. I wonder if Nico knows where he's got to...

Edited 2012-03-21 04:40 (UTC)

[He giggles.] Do you mean Nicholas? You call him Nico? [That's so cute trying to picture it to the new, big Nicholas he's met recently.]

Oh yes. Nicholas is my husband you see. I call him Nico and he calls me Big Girl.

Hehe, I like Nico. I think it's a good name. I didn't know Nicholas got married! Wow... he really is a lot older than me now. [He's trying his hardest not to show it, but it's kinda sad to lose one of the few people he knew that was the same age- er... height as he was.]

That's alright Vash, you're only as old as you feel after all!

Do you want to help me make this cake? We're going to have to tie your hair back so it doesn't get in the cake mix though.

Yeah! I want to help! And can I have a piece when it's done? Rem made me a special birthday cake back home, but I got sent here again before I could try any of it.

Oh, it's your birthday today? Many happy returns! You know what, we're going to have to turn this into a birthday cake, aren't we? What's your favourite kind?

You know somebody called Rem too? What a strange coincidence.

Well, I don't know if it's my birthday anymore! It's a different month here than it was back home on the ship!

Oh! Do you know Rem? AH! Is she here!? Maybe she's my Rem! What does she look like!? Does she have long, dark hair!?

I'm sorry, Miss Rem isn't here anymore but she-

[Gosh that description sure does sound like Miss Rem.

And you look a lot like Mr. Vash even though you are little...]

[...]

[Jumping jehosephats!]

Oh my gosh!

[The boy actually jumps into the air, unsure what just went through the tall woman's mind.] I'm sorry! Did I do something wrong?!

[Gosh how did she not see it before. Silly Milly.]

No, no you didn't do anything at all. Vash. Um. I just. Um...

[Ah ha!]

We don't have any candles! We can't have a birthday cake without candles!

Oh, that's okay. Rem baked me a birthday cake. I'll just have that one when I go home!

Well it would be an awful shame not to celebrate your birthday while it's here and there's a cake.

Now how about... you run next door and ask Mr. Sanji-chan if he's got some food colouring we could borrow and then we can make the frosting any colour you like.

Sanji lives next door!? Are you sure he won't mind? I wouldn't want to bother him over something like this. [He blushing, it feels so good to have some stranger care so much about getting him a nice cake.]

Just you tell him that I sent you and you shouldn't have any problems. And if he starts to make a fuss you just tell him I said it's for the baby.

[...and because he is adorable and she misses doing this for her nephews, have a hair ruffle Little Mr. Vash.]

But I'm not a baby! [He says this stubbornly, but not really upset or too hurt over it. It's just first the crew and now some woman he just met! How does he give off this impression!?]

[She's going to laugh, but not at you. Though really you are very sweet and silly.]

Oh I know you're not, especially seeing as it's your birthday today and you're getting even bigger. I meant my baby.

Your baby!? [He takes a second to process that and then his face fills with surprise and shock.] Is- Is Nicholas a daddy!?

Yes he is, or at least he's going to be. The baby's still growing in my tummy, you see?

[She gently pats the little bump she's sporting.]

And then we'll have a big birthday party for them in May.

[Vash looks at Milly's small bump in awe for a few moments before his hand slowly reaches out. He almost doesn't even have to think about it, but he stops right before he touches her belly, looking up to make sure it's okay first. All thoughts of cake long from his mind.]

[Milly smiles and makes no move to stop him; he's a little boy, it's more than okay with her. It would still be okay with her too if he were his normal size. He's family, after all.]

It's still a little to early to feel the baby kicking, but it won't be long now.

[Vash gently rubs his hand over Milly's stomach, his mouth hanging open just a little bit as he feels what should feel like a normal stomach under his hand. Only he knows better.]

There's a life in there.

[The look of amazement and wonder on his face makes Milly smile even more; it is pretty wonderful, the fact that there's a tiny new person getting ready to make their grand debut into the world and she is keeping them safe and helping them grow big and strong. It's a very big and precious responsibility and she still finds it humbling.]

Mm hmm, it's pretty amazing isn't it? And one day that little person in there is going to grow up to be a big and strong little boy or girl, just like you.

I don't know if it will be just like me, but I hope they grow up big and strong.

I hope so too! Big genes run in my family you know, there's not a single one of us who's under 5'11".

Really? That's good. Good strong genes for the baby.

Mm hmm, and I can't wait to see what they look like.

I don't think the baby's going to have beautiful yellow hair like you though.

[She reaches out to tussle his hair fondly.]

Should we tie it back out of the way so it doesn't get in the cake?

[Vash laughs, enjoying the feel of Milly's hand through his hair.] Okay! It would be bad if someone ate a piece of cake with hair in it! Will you help me? I always need Rem's help to get it all.

Of course I will! D'you want to know a secret Vash?

Okay! Yeah! Yeah! I want to know!

Okay, it's our secret.

[And here she leans in a little closer, voice lowered conspiratorially.]

I didn't know how to fix my hair for myself until I was twelve. My little big sister used to fix it for me.

Really? Not until you were twelve? [He looks around and lowers his voice some more.] Don't worry! I promise not to ell anyone. Not even Rem or Knives!

I made it look just terrible, all lumps and bumps all over the place and my little big brother used to say I looked like a hedgehog when I was done with it.

But you know, if you'd like I could probably teach you how to do it.

Would you?! Knives can get his hair perfect already! I want to show him I can too! He picks on me like your brother sometimes, but he's never called me a hedgehog!

[It seems very strange to Milly to listen to listen to Vash talk about his brother the way that she talks about her brothers and sisters, but knowing that unlike her family, Vash's becomes something entirely different and terrible.

For now, she just looks at the little boy and gives his hair one last ruffle.]

Well that's good! Because being called a hedgehog isn't an awful lot of fun. Now, shall we find something tie your hair back with?

Okay! Rem keeps some hair ties in the kitchen for us, but I bet we could find some string or something we could use!

Hmm... let's see. I might have them up on the shelf over there. I'll get them down, why don't you go and wash your hands and we'll start working on this cake? You've got to have clean hands otherwise the cake will end up tasting like dirt!

Ew! No one would want a dirt tasting cake! [He runs off to the bathroom and is gone for a few minutes. When he comes back he comes running in, holding up his still slightly wet hands. Even the edges of his sleeves are a bit damp.] Look! Look! All clean!

I can see! I don't there's even a speck of dirt left on those hands, you did a really good job Vash.

[And now she looks at the ingredients out in front of her, smiling broadly.]

Do you think you can measure out two cups of flour for me and then sift them into this bowl here?

[Vash beams proudly when he's told he's done a good job. Then he nods his head.] Uh-huh! I measure stuff for Rem all the time! But will you help me pull my hair back first, please!

Oh yes of course, silly me. My head's gone and got all forgetful lately, how could I forget about tying your hair back?

[She heads over towards the chairs and pulls one out for Vash, then turns to pull another out for herself.]

Come on over here and sit down, I can't quite reach you all the way down there and I want to do a good job on your hair.]

[Vash moves quick. Hoping up so fast into the chair that it skids against the floor a bit.] Does this work?

[The voice on the journal is unfamiliar, but the childish pitch catches Vivi's attention, and she quickly takes a look. Hm. The blond boy isn't immediately recognizable to her either, but there's something almost familiar about him. Listening further, she hears him mention Sanji, and from the sounds of things, he's been here before, so it's with no particular urgency in her voice that she greets him.]

Hello! You're a friend of Sanji-san's? Do you need any help?

Yeah! I met him the last time I was here! Is he still around? I hope I get to see all my friends again!

[Vivi nods. So he has been here before. That makes things easier.] He is! In fact, he's a good friend of mine as well.

My name's Vivi.

Hi, Vivi! My name's Vash! And it's alright, I don't need any help! I know my way around pretty good! And a new friend Amelia is out looking for me too!

[...wait. Vash?]

[It might be a coincidence, right? Vash might not be an uncommon name...]

[...but another, more thorough look at the boy on the other end of the journal clinches it, as she recognizes familiar features softened by youth. He's even got that mole near his left eye. In fact, now she's a little surprised she didn't recognize him right away, despite his youth.]

[This is...more than a little awkward. Well, for her, at least. Vivi had been trying to casually avoid Vash since the beach, and given she'd hadn't seen even a glimpse of him since then, she assumed he'd been doing the same, to an even greater degree.]

[But...]

[The pained shock slowly melts from her face, and she manages a wan smile. If he's this young, Vash won't remember any of that, and it's not fair to--he is her friend, despite what happened, and it really wasn't their fault to begin with. It was just so embarrassing that Vivi hadn't managed to pluck up her courage enough to seek him out since. Maybe facing him first as a child would make that eventuality a little easier.]

H-hello, Vash-- [She stumbles for a moment over what honorific to use with him; -san is what she customarily uses for him, but maybe in this case...] Vash-kun.

Coon? I'm not a raccoon. I'm just Vash.

[She can't help but laugh lightly at that.] Oh no, it's an honorific. A term of politeness. [A smile.] Nothing to do with raccoons.

Oh! I see. It's very nice to meet you Vivi-kun!

[...pffft. Vash. Why so adorable.]

Oh, you can just call me Vivi! I grew up using them, but I don't expect you to.

But Rem told me I should always be polite to people! If that's what is polite for you I want to use them too!

In that case, you can call me Vivi-san, if you like. [Not messing with -sama, oh no. :|]

Vivi-san? Is that what you use for girls? Like Mr. and Mrs.?

Mm, something like that. Generally, you'd use -kun for boys, -chan for girls, and -san for people older than you, whether they're male or female. There's more to it, but that's the basic jist. [She doesn't want to get him bogged down with details, especially considering he only looks about nine or ten to her.]

How old are you, Vash-kun?

Oh! I get it! [Luckily, Vivi is talking to a very intelligent boy. He picks up fast.] It's very nice to meet you Vivi-san and I'm one year old today! Rem made us a big birthday cake just to celebrate and everything before I was brought here!

...one? [Pardon her perplexed expression. Surely he must have meant ten...except that doesn't seem like the kind of mistake this boy-Vash would make.]

Uh-huh! Rem says that's why today is extra special! Oh, well, it was back home! It's a different day here!

[Vivi's brow furrows slightly.] You look older than that.

I do? [His brows furrow a bit as he thinks on this. He's only had Knives to compare his growth to before.] Steve did say we grew kinda fast...

[That Vash is anything other than a regular human has never occurred to Vivi, so this is throwing her for somewhat of a loop.] If you're only a year old, then...yes. Normally, a person would still be just a baby at that age.

...who's "we"? [Any awkwardness with the adult Vash is forgotten in light of this minor mystery.]

Knives! He's my twin brother! We're the only kids on the ship, so I'm not sure how normal people age. [Nope. Not phased at all.]

[Vivi nods slowly in response to that. Then, carefully:] Do you mean that you and Knives-kun aren't normal people?

[Well. That much seems clear, if what he's saying is true, but she'd like to hear it from his perspective.]

No, we're Plants!

...you- you aren't scared of me are you?

[She shakes her head quickly and emphatically.] No, of course not, Vash-kun. We're...we're friends. [And she smiles, to show him that's true--despite the unfortunate events on the beach, or the fact that he doesn't remember her right now.]

[And only once that's taken care of will she backtrack.] A plant? Like a tree or flower? [That doesn't really seem right either, but--]

[She stops, biting her lower lip slightly. She probably shouldn't be asking about this, should she? If Vash never mentioned it to her, then perhaps he hadn't meant for her to know? Or maybe it just hadn't occurred to him. Either way, she decides she really shouldn't pry any further. It doesn't seem fair.]

[Vash actually lets out a heavy breath. He didn't even know he had been holding his breath.] No, in my world, Plants are organic life forms that humans made. They're kinda part machine and part organic as they have their own thoughts and live, but they can't live without the machines they're attached to. Rem says they have the power to create anything so long as their treated right.

Knives and I were born from them, so we don't have to survive on the life support systems like they do I guess.

But- you're still not afraid of me, right?

[She almost cuts him off as he launches into his explanation, but she doesn't want to give him the wrong idea--and quite frankly, it is fascinating to hear, though she feels a bit guilty. Vivi supposes she'll have to make sure to speak to Vash properly about this when he's an adult again.]

[For now, she simply shakes her head again, smile returning.] Why would I be afraid of you, Vash-kun?

Um... well, [He looks down at his fingers, starting to play with them slightly.] Because, because I'm different. Sometimes people are afraid of things that are different. And, um, well, I think they do anyway. [He's still not sure what he did to make Steve hate him.] Or hate them for it. I don't know... I just don't want you to think I'm a monster is all. I try to be good everyday just like Rem tells me to.

...I would never think that.

Good! I'm glad!

You know...I bet I'll see you soon. [Considering they're neighbors and all. She'll just have to keep an eye out for someone bringing him next door.]

Oh? Are you in the forest too?

No. But keep an eye out for me later, all right? [She smiles playfully, not about to explain further unless he asks.]

Oh! Okay! I will! [And so Vash assumes she's talking about how small Luceti is.

Would she like to surprise him later at home while he's playing in some mud puddles?]

[AS A MATTER OF FACT, SHE WOULD. At first she simply comes up quietly behind him, leaving enough distance that she won't be immediately noticed, and watches him at play.]

[He's been dressed in a rain coat and boats. He laughs and keeps running to the closest, biggest puddle he can find before he launches himself into the air and lands in it with both feet.]

BOOM! Splash!

[Vivi searches the ground nearby until she finds a small stone. She waits until Vash makes another jump, then tosses the rock underhand so it arcs high in the air and lands just in front of him with a smaller, but still impressive splash.]

Oh! [Vash is indeed impressed by that splash. Did he do that? He has trouble believing that so he turns to look if someone from his house had come out.]

Vivi-san! Hi! I did see you really soon!

[Vivi waves, smiling.] I had a feeling...

Did you know where Nicholas lived? Is that how you found me so fast?

[Well, that's also true, but Vivi giggles and points to the house next door.] I saw you from the window.

The windo-OH! You mean you live next door!?

That's right! Looks like we're neighbors, Vash-kun.

[She feels a slight twinge once she says that; when Vash is back to normal, she really does need to stop avoiding him.]

[...thankfully, she probably won't have to worry about that for a week or so. >.>]

We are!? That's great! I'm glad to have a neighbor like you, Vivi-san! [He may just like adding -san to her name.]

[And she finds it cute, but it also makes for a greater distinction between this younger version of Vash and his regular self, which quite frankly, is welcome.] Thank you. I feel the same way.

It looks like you're having fun.

Yeah! I've never seen real rain or rain puddles before! You want to join me! They're lots of fun to jump and splash in!

Never at all?

[She wiggles one of her feet, clad in regular shoes, not waterproof boots.] Unfortunately, I'm not really dressed for it.

No! Never! The Geo-Plant keeps the Rec Room in the ship green all the time so it doesn't need rain like this to live!

Aw, I'll wait if you want to go get dressed.

[She shakes her head.] That's all right. I don't have rainboots, so I'll leave the puddle-jumping to you.

But the clothing shop might have some! It's a lot of fun! [You know you wanna!]

[...you know what? OKAY. It's not as if she's had much first-hand puddle-jumping experience herself, growing up in a desert and all.]

All right; you convinced me.

Want me to come with you! I'll help you pick them out!

All right! I'd love some company.

Then let's go find some! [He grabs her hand as he moves towards the clothes store.] It's where I found all my stuff!

[Vivi lets him take her hand and lead her toward the clothes shop--luckily, it's not too far a walk.]

Did you get to have some cake for your birthday, then?

Uh-huh! Milly made me a really yummy cake! [He pauses in thought for a moment.] It was really nice and yummy, but I still kinda wish I could have tried Rem's cake.

You still may. [She thinks. What with timelines and child versions of people, she can't pretend she completely understands. She hopes it's true, anyway, for Vash's sake,]

Yeah! People here last time said that time stands still at home and it really does! It's amazing!

Yes; that's what I've been told, too. [She gives him a curious look.] So you've been here before, Vash-kun?

Uh-huh! It was a lot of fun and there was snow all over too! I got to make a snowman and EVERYTHING!

Was that your first time seeing snow? [Vivi holds open the door to the clothing shop and slips in behind Vash.]

Now. Where are the boots?

Yup! It was! [But forget snow. There's puddles to jump in now!] I found mine over here! [The little boy goes running off, his long hair trailing behind him. Not bothering to wait at all to see if Vivi is following.]

[She follows, all right, and arrives at the boots just shortly after he does.] Hm. Now I hope they have my size...

[Though it probably would be fine if they were a little big, too.]

What size do you wear?

[~~sob, I have no idea~~]

[She tells Vash her size and starts to look through the boots.]

[Vash runs up an down the boots, until he stops and checks out a pair of red boots.]

What about these! They're your size and they're red too! They'd match mine!

[Vivi smiles, quickly setting down the pair she'd found and turning to take the red boots from Vash.]

That sounds good. Thank you, Vash-kun!

[She takes a seat on a nearby armchair and pulls off her shoes, slipping into the boots.] Aha. [She stands again, wiggling one of her feet.] A perfect fit! Would you say I'm ready now?

Um, almost! You need a LONG raincoat! Hold on! I remember seeing one with flowers on it! But it didn't fit me. [There's a reason he remembers that one as he goes running off to find it again.]

[Vivi waits patiently, sitting back on the chair as she waits for him to return.]

[It doesn't take him long to come running back with a long adult rain coat that has colorful flowers all over it.] Here! It was WAY too big for me!

[Vivi stands and takes the raincoat from him with a grateful smile.] Thank you, Vash-kun! It's lovely.

[She slips it on and buttons it up.] There! Now I'm really ready!

Yay! It's very pretty on you! [Although it may be the flowers he's more impressed with. Most boys who are only a year old aren't really interested in girls just yet.] Let's go play!

Thank you! [She nods, reaching down to take his hand--not that she thinks he needs leading, but this all has her feeling rather giddy and girlish, and it seems appropriate.]

Yes, let's! [And as they exit the shop, she starts running back toward home.]

[Vash is more than happy to take her hand. Giving it a small squeeze and looking up at her with a beaming smile.] Mmh! [He nods his head and takes off running, going at top speed to keep up with her longer legs. Splashing in any puddle he can reach without letting go of her hand.]

[Accidental Voice]

Flower shop, obviously >D
