[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. ]

action

[redsea]

I suppose...

[ why would he check if the coast was clear, was he ashamed of being caught with her

Now Kougyoku thinks they're doing something bad. She goes along with it anyway. ]

... Has Homura been sleeping on your pillow? [ why ]

action

[battering]

[ They are, they're here to vandalize the place by making flower crowns. It ain't easy being a thug. ]

Nah, not on my pillow, she likes to sleep in my pile of clean shirts. Why, want her to stay with you already?

action

[redsea]

[ THAT'S WORSE. ]

Don't make her sleep there! Won't that make all your clothes smell like rabbits now?

[ wow -10000 cool points bye yata ]

action

[battering]

That's where she likes to nap! She chose it! [ Huffffs, why are you so picky, Kougyoku. ] ... what do rabbits smell like? My clothes seem fine.

action

[redsea]

Like animals? [ Kougyoku... Wait, let her lean in to smell him. ]

action

[battering]

[ He probably smells like girl tears. ] I'm sure it's fine, Homura's clean. She's practically a princess.

[ tttteasing, but also because he's noticed how fixed up Kougyoku always is? his extent of knowledge on princesses. ]

action

[redsea]

[ looooks away and strays from the path ]

I think I saw the flowers here.

action

[battering]

Yeah? Where? [ Follows!! ]

action

[redsea]

[ no she just wanted to hide from embarrassment after being compared to a rabbit again

She stops walking after Yata follows for a couple more steps. ]

... I lost them. [ SO THE FLOWERS RAN AWAY!? ]

action

[battering]

[ Ooph, she stopped so suddenly, Yata accidentally bumps into her. sheepish, ]

Sorry... Mm, I think we were getting close before, let's just go back. [ NOT EVEN GOING TO QUESTION HOW SHE LOST FLOWERS it makes perfect sense to him. ]
