[ He stands and tugs Kougyoku to her feet, finally letting go of her hand even though he really didn't want to. ]

Did you want to make enough for everyone else? Heh, I bet Kusanagi-san would look great in a flower crown. [ and by great he means hilarious. ]

action

[redsea]

[ So Yata is basically making Kougyoku Tumblr now. She claps her hands, amused at the idea. ]

Haha, it'd be funny! [ yeah that's what he meant by great kougyoku ] Okay, when we get there, I'll teach you how to make them.

[ And she begins walking the wrong direction on purpose to take the longer path. ]

action

[battering]

[ One day he'll teach her about hash tags and different online slang terms. One day. ]

How'd you learn to make them? [ He notices her taking a different way, but he goes along with it just because it means they'll get to talk more. ]

action

[redsea]

Alibaba taught me! [ Her face seems to light up whenever she talks about him. ] He's really good at it.

action

[battering]

Aah, the famous Alibaba! Sometimes I think you've got a crush on him. [ He smirks at her, very much teasing. ]

action 1/2

[redsea]

I do not! [ Stomp, stomp. Too easy. ] I don't! He's just a friend!

action

[redsea]

...There's someone else I like.

action

[battering]

--You do?! You said you'd tell me when you liked someone! Who is it?

action

[redsea]

It's a secret.

action

[battering]

I won't tell anyone else, promise.

action

[redsea]

No.

... I'll tell you when I'm ready.

[ They're fighting a war and she still needs to sort her feelings out, gosh. ]

action 1/2

[battering]

No fair, Totsuka-san said the same thing...

action

[battering]

Is it him?!

action

[redsea]

IT'S NOT!

action

[battering]

Alright, alright! When you're ready, and... I'll tell you who I like at the same time.

action

[redsea]

Really? ...Okay! Don't change your answer until then.

[ She has a hunch who it is, anyway. ]

action

[battering]

[ It's Mikoto.

That was a strange response, but he figures it just has to do with it being Kougyoku. Luckily, the greenhouse wasn't too far off now, and he just nods in agreement. ]

Unrelated, but... what's your favorite flower? [ As if he knew a single thing about flowers. ]

action

[redsea]

[ It's Mikoto. ]

Peonies? But I also like peach blossoms. Plum blossoms are nice, too. Ah, roses are also pretty. [ Pick one. ]

action

[battering]

... that's a lot. [ He only recognized one. ]

But yeah, roses are pretty nice. I've had this rose milk tea stuff, I think that's pretty close to the real thing. [ ??? If roses were a thing you drank, maybe. ]

action

[redsea]

[ ??? ] Milk? You put milk in tea? [ Ancient fantasy China, man. ]

action

[battering]

Some people do, yeah! What d'you put in yours?

action

[redsea]

Nothing. It's just... Tea. [ Yeah. ] Does it taste good?

action

[battering]

Nothing? No sugar or honey? [ YIKES. ] Mm, I think it is! I don't drink a lot of tea though, so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

action

[redsea]

[ She wants to ask what he likes, but they're already at the greenhouse. ]

Oh, Is it truly all right to come here? I hope they aren't using the flowers for anything important. I mean, they probably are, but... [ look she just wants to make flower crowns ok ]

action

[battering]

What could be so important they'd use all the flowers? It'll be fine! They wont mind a few of them being used for a good cause.

[ He nods firmly and leads the way inside, looking around to make sure the coast was clear anyway before he starts to where he saw flowers last time. ]
