⠀let's see ..( leaning closer to the flowers with a hand cupped to her ear , nodding her head at the silence . )
they adore you already , luffy .ᐟ they say you're welcome to take care of them in the future if you'd like .
⠀
⠀( considering. before he laughs and grins even wider. ) right! ni shi shi shi! i know everything about all of you guys!
( then he’s nodding his head at her words. ) do you think they like me already? i gave them water!
⠀
⠀⠀well—— it's like .. us .ᐟ the longer we travel together , the better we know each other .( grinning . )
flowers are like people : if you show them enough care and love , they'll let you see their true colors .
⠀
⠀how do you know them so well then? ( leaning in comically close to inspect the flowers from a new angle. )
waah! amazing! the color changed! ( a bright grin spreads across his face while his eyes shine bright with stars at the sight. )
⠀
⠀( chuckling , shaking her head . )I wish I could , but no ; this type specifically tends to do that .
( watching the flowers change from dull to a bright sea—like blue . )see .ᐣ I think they feel much better now .ᐟ
⠀
⠀( tilts his head with a blink. ) how do you know that? do you speak to them, carmilla?
oh yes! i wanna do it! ( big grin. taking hold of the watering can before pouring some onto the soil. )
⠀
⠀( crouching to take a closer look , fingers carefully brushing over the petals . )oh yes , they definitely lack water at the moment ..
would you like to do it .ᐣ( handing him the watering can with a smile . )
ᅠᅠ“ 'm alright now . ” a much happier smile , definitely enjoying his fingers running through her hair .
“ I should probably clean these wounds , right .ᐣ ” she gives him a knowing look , aware he won't let her go home like this .
offering a grin in return as one hand lifts to gently rest over her head. an old habit, fixing some messy locks of her hair at the same time. “ are you? i’ve got some band—aids and painkillers at home if you need any. ”
ᅠᅠ.. so kind , she feels bad for pulling such a face now . * 💧 nodding her head silently , giving shoko an apologetic smile ; she would love to be patched up . and the cute bandages too ..
ᅠᅠsnapping out of it at the sound of his voice . she blinks slowly , rubbing some dirt off her cheek and offering a smile . “ takacchan .. just some kids looking for trouble . I'm fine though .ᐟ ”
