Aren't you strong? Very well, then this one.

[Oh she knows he's got thick skin, she spent all day scratching--oh wait.]

I mean, I appreciate it, truly. [WHY IS HE SO GOOD TO HER SHE'S GONNA DIE.] But I don't mind. Especially since you came with me here, and gave me some Chroma just then--a-ah... [She clears her throat.] I'll just pay.

[coasts]

[ The florist prepares the flowers, puts them in a nice pot and then instructs them both how to properly take care of it! Sunlight is not needed, but it needs to be watered twice a day. Singing to it also helps, apparently.

Alien flowers... Samatoki seems amused. ]

Can you sing, Sen?

[hoasen]

[No sunlight, makes sense considering it is a fire. But what is this? This sounds adorable! Except she's limited to karaoke-style singing.]

Ahhh... [She extends that considering she's thinking. Alien flowers, you demand a lot. Also she swore watched a movie like this.]

If at a karaoke, perhaps. [She looks around. And then seeing that no one is really listening, she whispers half a bar and it sounds like the first half of this. Basically, draw a circle, there's the earth.]

Do you think that worked...?

[coasts]

Huh? I didn't hear you.

[ But he laughs. She tried, and that's important! ]

Come on. Maybe you'll be louder when you're at your place.

[hoasen]

[She embarrassed herself and he didn't hear! Ahhhh!]

Fine... It'll be easier it's not safe here. People could listen in.

[She immediately takes the pot plant, and his hand, to quickly get out.]

[coasts]

[ Oh. They're holding hands again. It's.. not bad. New, but not bad. He's getting used to it.

The florist who attended to them sees them out, even waving goodbye as they walk out the door. Samatoki just nods their way since both hands of his are occupied now. ]

You don't gotta get shy with me.

[ Just sayin'!!! ]

[hoasen]

[His hand is comforting, especially after the nervousness of singing seriously instead of in karaoke. But when they leave, she farewelling the florist with a matching nod, he had to say that didn't he!!]

Well... I'm not... [She swallows and holds his hand tighter.] too shy around you. If it was just with you...

[coasts]

S'that right?

[ She's flustered. He could tease her, or he could just back off. She's pretty cute when she's getting shy, isn't she? ]

Well, don't worry. I'm not gonna force you to do anythin' you don't wanna.

[hoasen]

[It's easy to fluster her when she starts to get attached because he looks like he knows! That's too powerful! Look at that smirk.

She'll have to kill him.]

I mean, if it's just the two of us, I wouldn't mind trying... But only if you don't tell anyone! That's also a karaoke rule!

[coasts]

[ Don't??? Kill??? Him?????????? ]

The hell's a karaoke rule?

[hoasen]

[It's true she won't.

Although, after tucking her goods around her wrist and under her arm, she reaches and places her finger on his lips.]

Nothing leaves the karaoke room.

[coasts]

[ He cranes his neck a little so he can speak. ]

Never heard of it.

[hoasen]

[GASP.]

Now you know. It's very important. So you must keep it a secret! Think of it like I'm singing just for you.

[That sounds more cheesy than she meant.]

[coasts]

[ That's gross. Samatoki finds it too cheesy. Vietnam isn't allowed to say stuff like that anymore. ]

Alright, fine. I'll keep it to myself.

[hoasen]

[Too late. Also she's oblivious to this. HMM.]

Good. [Huffs!] And...we're close. [And the demon apartments are in sight, so she starts to lead him towards the safest building of them all.]

[coasts]

[ The safest building aldkalf

He lets out a low whistle. ]

Your place looks so much nicer than mine. Rent here is free, too?

[hoasen]

[IT'S TOTALLY THE SAFEST.]

Do you like it? [Hers looks like a beach resort, this is why she's poor right now!] In a way, yes. Eichi-kun practically owns it so we're here because...

[Well, because it's him.]

Would you like a tour or to make yourself comfortable?

[coasts]

Looks nice. Fancy.

[ Jyuto would probably want to live here. ]

What's this place got worth seeing?

[ He doesn't mind a tour! ]

[hoasen]

It's pretty comfortable, like it's not huge, but the facilities are lovely.

[She gestures above them.]

So many common areas, communal kitchens, but the best part is the rooftops. It has a pool, entertaining area.

[coasts]

Sounds fancy.

[ Communal kitchens for an apartment building? It's like inviting homeless people to come in and make food and use their facilities. Still, the place itself looks neat. Definitely a lot more secure and brighter than where Samatoki's staying. ]

You've gone swimming here before?

[hoasen]

It's rather comfortable, no? As a guest, you can come visit anytime to use the facilities.

[And don't tell Dice--oh wait. Still, she has her own kitchen too but this just helps. She nods as he asks.]

A little before I encountered you, actually.

[coasts]

Feels a little like trespassin', don't you think?

[ Then again, who is he to be afraid of doing that? :) :) :) ]

I'll let you know if I'm around.

[hoasen]

[Yeah she's sure he would trespass if he had to ;) ;) ;) He is a yakuza, first of all--]

It's not like you would be trespassing if you are visiting me, no? I have given you permission, if they argue the fact, tell them to contact me.

[coasts]

[ He's gonna fight everyone in this building. ]

What're you gonna do?

[hoasen]

[She looks so determined with this but--]

Tell them you're my guest. It's fine, the others invite guests all the time too.
