[OOC/Filter: Here's the deal. Youji intended for this post to be ladies-only, but due to a variety of factors--lack of familiarity with the device, the gender ambiguity of some names, and the weather messing with the Dreamberries--it's pretty much failed. So anyone is free to see this post (or not see it!), but if you're not a cute girl over 18, he's going to be polite, but unenthusiastic. XD]

[Youji is sitting back on his couch, looking charmingly sheepish and pleasantly cheerful.]

Hello!

I'm laid up with a broken leg, and rather bored. I don't suppose anyone could help me out...? Any recommendations are appreciated. Books, movies, snacks, art supplies, or just your sparkling conversation!

[okay, okay...he's done playing now]

Are you always this nice to the boys~?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Fluffy blankets are the best kind.

Were you here last winter?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I've only been here since December I'm afraid. But the winters in England were never this bad.

[...okay, that's going to be impossible.]

done!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Well played, sir.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you.

So do I get your name too?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Really now? This must be quite a difficult change for you.

I'll bet the spring in England is very lovely, then.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

You are most welcome. You've--had a lot of practice, haven't you?

I'm Youji.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

I have. Years and years.

Nice to meet you, Youji~!

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

At first it was lovely. I made a snow man. But now? I just want to see flowers again.

[ A soft chuckle follows this. Embarrassed but she won't argue something so that could easily and quickly become circular logic. ]

... All right. In the meanwhile don't overdo it while your leg is that injured, okay?

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not finding the filter failing funny at all.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

It shows.

I'll see you around sometime.

[He has to hang up, Mille, sry. It's his manly pride, not you. He'll still talk to you later.]

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Really? I appreciate it.

[Voice] // talked to Sena-mun~

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure not to...

[...wait.]

...I've been distracted up until now, but--one of my neighbors is also injured. I don't know if he'll accept your help--he might even be well by the time this weather clears--but. I figured I should put it out there, I'm truly sorry to impose.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I understand. Winter always seem long, and spring not long enough.

You know, I work in a flower shop. [Or will.] What's your favorite flower?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Hmm... My favorite flowers are white and pink lilies! What's your favorite?

//brb looking up language of flowers & hanakotoba

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Those are good choices. White lilies mean "purity," did you know that?

I like orchids. [He gives them to girls, anyway.]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

No I didn't! What do pink ones mean!

And orchids are very pretty too.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

"Wealth and prosperity." Nice sentiment, right?

Orchids used to be very popular flowers, you know. People used to go on expeditions to South America just to find new species of them.

[spaztastic]

Well, you can talk to me. I've only been here a month so I don't know much about this place yet.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I think the language of flowers sounds lovely. Although if you speak with them they most certainly don't say or sound like what they mean.

[Pauses because even to her that sounds like a bit confuddled but she can't help that.]

I didn't! But why travel across the ocean just to find a new species?

[Though she supposes if you're going to travel to a new country to find something, flowers are a certainly good reason. She's guilty of traveling through another world to find a beautiful garden.]

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Well, so that you can say you discovered a brand-new one, and so that you have one that no one else does, I suppose.

[He's never really liked the flower shop, but. This is kind of nice.]
