Feb 13th, Morning

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Flowers were awesome. There's no two ways about it. Any holiday that features them heavily is high up on her list of days of the year she appreciates, and the fact the town is providing them so readily, so plentifully, and completely free of charge? That is music to Meiling's ears.

And music to her body, apparently, for she hasn't ceased humming since she woke up and took a whiff of the bouquet she found downstairs. It's such an odd arrangement, but she doesn't bother to critique the selection. Instead, she picks out a few choice flowers and brings them up as she knocks gently on one of the bedroom doors. ]

Patchouli, are you awake? I have a surprise for you! [ And boy does she EVER. ]

[wizardoftheweek]

Mm... -Patchouli's voice sounds from the other side. Patchouli fought off the waking world just a moment longer before sitting up, groping about for her glasses.-

Come in, Meiling...

[not_so_great_wall]

[ The door opened with a click and Meiling leaned in to give Patchouli an excited smile before stepping in. ] Good morning~ Did you sleep well? You won't believe what I...

[ She steps dead in her tracks, a curious expression on her face. ] Found. This morning... [ Huh. That was kind of odd warmth that suddenly came over her. Was it the heater in the room, or something else? It should not be radiating from inside her chest, though, if that's the case, but her skin.

Oh well. Meiling pushes that thought aside and sits on the edge of the bed. ] It's flowers, and they're everywhere! [ She presents Patchouli with the selection from the bouquet for appraisal. ]

[wizardoftheweek]

Flowers? ... Are you certain they're not poison? If they were suddenly here, then it was obviously Mayfield's doing.

[not_so_great_wall]

I know my flowers, Patchouli, and I feel fine! The roses don't even have thorns, see?

Feb 13th, Noon

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Having enjoyed a lovely morning, Meiling was off to get some fresh air. Work could wait; today was a beautiful day, and there were just as many flowers around outdoors as they were indoors. She just wanted to share the day with as many of her dear friends as she could, so where better to start than with her most-trusted one?

Meiling landed on the doorstep to 1647 Albright Lane, a small basket clutched in her hands. She's wearing her warmer dress, the one without the long sleeves and slacks, and is clutching a basket in her hands. Inside are several flowers all neatly arranged on a bed of bright green mint leaves. They aren't exactly floral, but she thought it brought out the colors well.

She rocked back and forth, waiting for someone to answer~ ]

[perfectandelegant]

[The door opens promptly, as always, and Sakuya smiles as she sees who's there. She gestures for Meiling to come inside. The first thing she'll see is a bouquet of irises set up on her coffee table. She couldn't resist, not with how pretty they were.]

It's good to see you back up and about, Meiling. I've been worried sick, because I don't want to lose anyone I care about so much. So it's really good to have you back and yourself again.

So, to what do I owe the pleasure of the visit?

[not_so_great_wall]

[ She smiled wide, but waved off the concern with a free hand, resisting the urge to scratch at the scars on her throat. ] I'm sorry you worried so much. [ As for whether or not she was "herself", well.. that was another matter that she doesn't get into. It's not as if it isn't obvious that this town's incidents were slowly changing her outlook on life, but she would still like to think that she's Meiling through-and-through. ]

[ She spies those flowers and makes a tiny excited sound, handing the basket off to the maid as she steps in. ] I was going to ask if you saw all the flowers going around, but it looks like I'm a little late for that!

[perfectandelegant]

Sssh, don't worry. I'm not upset about it. [Sakuya smiles, stepping a little closer.] It's all right now, and that's the important thing.

[She positively grins as she looks at the basket's contents.] I hadn't seen these! Just the irises that popped up in the backyard. Oh, they're lovely!

...just like you.

[not_so_great_wall]

Well that's good! [ She leans in and inhales deeply. The flowers smell lovely, just as the others.

Of course, they also manage to find what little exists of Meiling's brain-to-mouth filter and shut it down completely. ] Because upsetting you is one of the worst things I can think of to do, even if it's not my fault.

[ Standing up again, she waves her hand, cheeks reddening. ] Oh stop, Sakuya, you're making me blush!

Feb SOMETIME??? For Meiling and Flan

[badladyscramble]

[Really, there's nothing strange about the two little vampires hanging around at Patchy and Meiling's house; especially with Koakuma there now, half the family lived there. So it was in the kitchen that the Scarlet sisters were taking (Chinese) tea, waited on by the gate guard. Less usual was the smirk on Remilia's lips and the way her eyes followed the youkai around the room. Oh, yes, someone had been into the mint today.]

Meiling.

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre was sitting next to her sister, as usual.

...perhaps a bit closer than usual. But her sister's presence is making her calm and happy, so seated she stays.

Though when Remilia calls Meiling's name, Flandre looks up too.]

[not_so_great_wall]

Hm? [ It's still a while before she has everything ready for supper, hence starting with the tea. She casts a look over her shoulder to the table. ] Yes, Remilia? [ Maybe it's a bold habit to get into, but she's started referring to her more familiarly than simply "Miss" this and "mistress" that. It could be because they don't live in the same house. It could be that they're all equals in this town, despite the roles they've been pushed into. ]

[badladyscramble]

Hmhmhm... so familiarly, you call me. [She chuckles, taking notice of that change. Well, she's both provoked and interested by this change. She grins a little, like the prospect of any challenge.] And why not? We have worked together for so long now... and, despite everything, you have been quite loyal, my dear gate guard.

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre wondered at it, too--at least briefly. But, mostly she was watching Meiling.

Yanno in case she came any closer, which was kind of exactly the idea.]

For Sakuya

[badladyscramble]

[Not unusually, Remilia was taking tea at Sakuya's house, sipping as she sat in the kitchen while the maid waited on her or bustled about... but this time, the vampire seemed less interesting in drinking tea and far more intent on her servant, hands lightly folded in front of her as scarlet eyes followed Sakuya]

Such a good maid...

[perfectandelegant]

[Sakuya can't help but feel those eyes on her. She turns, after a moment, a faint smile on her lips.]

I pride myself in being absolutely perfect. You know that, ojou-sama...

[badladyscramble]

And you're right to; I couldn't ask for a better maid. You work so tirelessly for your master, with hardly a complaint or desire for more... hmm?

[perfectandelegant]

None at all; why would I? I'm perfectly happy so long as you are.

[badladyscramble]

Hmhm... but even the loyalest servant must desire some reward, do you not?

For Patchy

[badladyscramble]

[Something of a mixture of scents and feelings, while Patchouli was indeed one of hers, she was not the same as those others to Remilia. She was... something special, yes. At least, she wanted to think of her that way. Did Patchouli think of her that way? Gosh, she hoped so...]

Pull yourself together, Remilia... you're the Scarlet Devil, Queen of the Night and immortal vampire... getting worked up about something like claiming what is yours is completely pointless.

[Only it wasn't. She felt all tied up in knots about this and really hoped it just went well. In any case, she had to at least take the first step, right? In any case, a mixed bouquet of flowers hidden behind her back even as a mix of mint and daisy muddle the vampire's own mind, Remilia knocked at the door to the wizard's room before opening and peeking inside, doing her best to remain composed and charismatic as ever.]

Patchy~ are you there?

[wizardoftheweek]

-Another visitor? She'd been awfully popular lately... Patchouli closed her book, clearing her throat. She left the glasses on... Well, Meiling had complimented the look, so maybe that had something to do with it.-

Please come in.

[badladyscramble]

[Smiling at the librarian's invitation, she cheerfully entered, wings fluttering a bit as she closed the door behind her and walked over to the wizard]

I'm not interrupting anything, am I? Hm hm~

[There was something cheeky, maybe a slightly false bravado, about that fanged grin as she tried not to let her pale skin blush too rosy.]

[wizardoftheweek]

Mm, no. I was simply reading. Did you need something, Remi? -So far, she wasn't suspicious.-

[badladyscramble]

Oh, nothing in particular, except a desire for your company... [Step, step, present flowers] ...and to give you this, my dearest friend.
