❀ 5th Weed in the Garden - Written / Action ❀

[shamelessness]

[When the note appears upon the page it looks like it was written by a hand that was possibly trembling in fear. When read it says:]

Anyone who was bothered by "Steel Maiden" please come to the fountain in the plaza. I'm so- It's important!

[When people arrive there they'll find a blond teen. She's looking around nervously, trying to determine from the crowd who she pestered over the event. Shiemi trembles with her hands gripping her knees, and shoulders hunched a bit. Oh dear she wasn't ready for this yet! But it's been so long. She has to do this.]

Comments

[rashness]

Oi, and I've got enough for you too, Skarmy! [because you've been in that thorn bush, he knows you can hear him. and yukio of course]

[shamelessness]

[After being offered food Skarmy pops her head out of the thorn bush, leaves and branches rustling, and makes a happy little trill. Oh yeah? You're actually useful? Cool!]

You're going to spoil her. [But Shiemi doesn't mind that. Skarmy's actually been learning to behave... somewhat.]

[rashness]

Come on, it's sukiyaki. That's somethin you eat with the while house, which includes her too!

[Even if she's difficult...]

[shamelessness]

[The bird pops out of the bush and comes hopping into the kitchen. She's getting food? Is that what this is? Shiemi gives the Pokémon a tired smile, and holds her arms open to accept her.]

[rashness]

[She scoffs over in the kitchen. To be honest once the immediate prep work is done he can just put this on a hot plate on the table and it'll be better. Hm. As for her though]

That go well?

[shamelessness]

Did tha- oh! The apologies, you mean?

Everyone said I was silly for wanting to apologize.
[Skarmy hops up on the chair (almost knocking Shiemi and the chair off balance) and nudges the girl affectionately with her beak.]

[rashness]

[..Nnngh. He shrugs, still monitoring this hot pot]

It's not silly. I mean you wanted to.

[shamelessness]

They said I didn't have to give them apologies.

[rashness]

For them. You felt good for it though, right?

[shamelessness]

Well... yeah, I did.

[Actually now that she thinks about it a smiles spreads across her face. Even if they didn't need her apologies, she did.]

[rashness]

Yeah, I figured. So... it's cool.

[...On that note. He should probably apologize for being her bra. /unsure.

He finishes some touches and now goes to set up the burner on the table to keep the hot pot, well, hot]

[shamelessness]

[She smiles at him as he brings the set up over to the table.]

I'm glad your back with us and back to normal. [Not to say she minded Fem!Rin, but this is something she's more used to/comfortable with.]

[rashness]

Yeah, so am I. [And with that set, back to get the pot itself...] Some of that stuff was just weird.

[shamelessness]

[Skarmy cranes her neck, trying to get close enough to snatch something out of the pot.]

I agree.

[rashness]

[Go ahead that'll be really fucking hot. The whole point is to take it out and let it cool a little on your plate/bowl]

[shamelessness]

[Oh Skarmy won't take it now, she's just trying to be really stealthy.]

R-Rin? Do you think we could do something together one day? [She means the three of them. As a household. Maybe a picnic.]

[rashness]

W-we? [Like, the two of them? He misunderstands, as he is now garnishing the hot pot a little. He'll be calling Yukio to come get it soon. ...And is going to get he plate. Help him set the table?]

I... I mean sure? Y-yeah.

[shamelessness]

[She'll follow suit to help him set the table.]

Great! Maybe a picnic to the lake, or a trip to the beach?

[rashness]

The b-beach, huh... yeah! That sounds good!

[She's asking him out? He's not sure what to think of this]

[shamelessness]

The weather is nice and warm for it, too! And maybe we can hold a pool party here?

[She's excited to wear the swimsuits Minako picked for her. And Skarmy is simply doing this: ]

[rashness]

T---the beach isn't really a pool party, is it?! Unless you mean- both?! Ye-eah, I mean I'm almost done cleaning out that thing?

[G...gulp]

[shamelessness]

Both! Isn't both good?

[rashness]

[...!] Yeah, both does sound good, when you put it like that! [A beachdate and a pool party...] Bu-but. For now we should get Yukio, for dinner.

[shamelessness]

Yes! And we can tell him about it!

[rashness]

[AND THEN THEY WENT TO GET YUKIO.

THIS IS SO BACKDATED WE MIGHT JUST ASSUME THE REST THOUGH]
