❀ 9th Weed in the Garden - Voice/Action ❀

[The victory against Masaomi, the hard training from Green, and Green's question about power... It's got her thinking. Is she powerful? Is she catching up? Is the day she can fight side-by-side with her impressive friends close? She doesn't want to be a burden. She wants to be strong. She wants to help.]

Luceti? I want to know what you think makes you strong. How does a person get strong? Or what do you do to make yourself strong?

[If one-on-one is more your sort, anybody can find Shiemi outside of the clothing shop trying to wrap a scarf around her 7ft+ metal bird. It can't be easy facing winter weather when you're metal. Especially when facing it after a nice heat wave.]

Of course. That's what the door is open for, after all.

[ She gives a tiny smile and steps to the side so Shiemi can pass and go in. ]

[Shiemi steps inside, and once passed the door she'll begin to remove her shoes before even thinks about going further in the house.]

So Kotomi-chan has a violin here?

That's right. I found it one day at the item shop, I was so very glad to have one again.. I really miss playing the violin otherwise. [ She's so excited, her music must clearly be amazing, right? ]

[Shiemi is positive she must be. Though she'll just stand around. The girl doesn't want to be rude and wander about the house.]

Is it hard to learn how to play?

Not at all. [ She walks over to a living room of sorts, pulling out a violin case and taking out a genuine violin. ]

.. Does Shiemi-chan have a favourite song? Maybe I can try to play that.

[The blonde shakes her head.]

I haven't listened to much music other than some classical western music I play for the plants. Do you know any Mozart?

Of course I do. How about his Violin Concerto No. 5 in A, 2nd Movement? [ sounds convincing, right? ]

Sure, that sounds great.

[Clueless here.]

[ Poor Shiemi. We knew thee well.

She nods a little, lifting the violin into perfect position, putting the bow to the strings, and.. well, the sound is awful once she starts playing. Glass-shattering awful. The kind of awful that made some people actually pass out back home.

.. Yeah, good luck with that. ]

[She jumps from the awful sound startling her. Shiemi's hands fly up to cover her ears, but before they do she stops herself. No, that's rude! Her hands move to cover her mouth instead. Oh jeez she might just pass out herself.]

[ FORGIVE ME, SHIEMI.. Kotomi herself is so caught up in it that she doesn't even notice, she just keeps playing until the very end of the (agonizing) song, giving a small bow as if that just now was nothing weird. ]

[Kotomi will find Shiemi passed out on the floor as if she almost melted into a puddle of pain from listening to her music. The blonde might have to be prodded to get up.]
