Third Rose: Neither Here nor There (forward dated to Friday, Aug 11th)

[formerabyssinian]

Action: Kitten in the House Flower Shop- Attleton

[Not expecting to be gone so long, Aya felt not only out of sorts but very...incomplete. The Dream Docks revealed that he had been missing more than a year's worth of memories, and he wasn't okay with that. But with not knowing how to deal with his newfound memories, he did the only thing he knew, which was go to work.]

[So here he is, at his newly opened flower shop, sweeping the front of the store with a broom, lost in his thoughts about what has been revealed to him. He definitely doesn't pay much mind to the gaggles of young girls who tend to stop by to make small purchases, or just stare.]

Does anyone think our memories are being suppressed purposely?



Private Video to Sonico:

I got your messages. I'm sorry to have made you worry, Sonico. I'm fine, I promise.

[Besides the still healing gash on his neck from his bounty a couple of weeks ago. But otherwise fine!]

Comments

I have only a few cute ones, unsurprisingly.

[formerabyssinian]

Exactly.

[Aya stands up, stretching a bit before offering a hand to Selphie. She does look rested, which Aya is glad for.]

There's something I need to do before we leave, though.

Poor Aya bb.

*Selphie gets up to her feet easily with his help, half dragging the blanket with her, which she then starts to fold up*

Oh. Okay. Anything I can do to help?

[formerabyssinian]

Mhmm.

[Slowly, once the blanket is folded, he pulls Selphie close to him with one hand while coming close himself, and the other is placed on her cheek. He takes the opportune nearness to just look at her before leaning in for a kiss.]

[booyaka_boom]

*This was not what Selphie was expecting, but she is more than happy with this, immediately dropping the blanket back on the sofa so that she can hold him better and deepen the kiss*

[formerabyssinian]

[The memories of their time together in Vatheon come rushing to him, further fueling their kiss. She is really here, and they're together. It gave him hope, and a sinking feeling in his stomach. But it's something he could shelve away for later contemplation. Right now he wants to enjoy this moment.]

[After a while, Aya pulls back, leaving only a bit of space between them.]

Now we can go. [He smiles to her, glad to have settled that!]

[booyaka_boom]

*Fortunately, Selphie doesn't feel any trace of that sinking feeling through their kiss, only concerned with being as close to him as possible and communicating how much she has missed him. She laughs when he pulls back, and glances at the sofa*

Although...if it weren't for the fact that someone else works here...I'd say we have everything we need right here.

[formerabyssinian]

Even with just fruit? [He can probably guess the answer, but he still asks with a smirk.]

[booyaka_boom]

Even with just fruit.

*Selphie agrees and kisses him softly on the lips*

You could feed it to me.

[formerabyssinian]

One day. [He'd probably do it if she just asked. Aya places a kiss on her forehead.] C'mon, I want to eat something more than fruit.

[booyaka_boom]

Alright. You must be hungry.

*Selphie beams at him when he kisses her forehead - he's making it hard for her to think about food. But it's been a long day for him, probably, what with working and her showing up. She slides her hand down his side and then into his*

Let's go.
