Hello, Somarium.

[Youji is out of frame, but the Dreamberry is very much focused on the doorway of the flowershop, Nectar.]

The very strangest thing--it being the season and all, I went to place a sprig of mistletoe in our shop doorway. But it seems there's one already there. Fitting for a flowershop, but I'm wondering who got the jump on me.

[Youji shifts around so that he's standing beneath the mistletoe now, smiling in a rather cocky fashion.]

As I said, though, 'tis the season! We've got poinsettias and Christmas roses looking to brighten up someone's window or place setting, and as a special bonus, I happen to need a Christmas date.

[He winks.]

What do you think, ladies? Hoping to see you soon!

[He laughs a bit.]

It isn't the most exciting job in the world.

[scientize.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not, but there's nothing quite like a fresh bouquet of flowers to freshen up your home.

Do you have any specials for the season?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

[Youji thinks they're overrated, but this may be due to being stuck with them every day.]

Poinsettias and Christmas roses, as mentioned. I've seen ivy and mistletoe in the stockroom, and I might have seen holly and a Christmas cactus. Anything you buy I'll make into a designer wreath, no extra charge.

Well, except the cactus.

[scientize.livejournal.com]

I'd be a very cruel woman indeed if I made you work hands on with a cactus.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Perish the thought. I certainly never meant to imply such slander.

[scientize.livejournal.com]

Good.

[There's a small pause before she continues. It's been a long time since she's decorated for Christmas.]

What would you suggest? In your expert opinion.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

The roses. Roses and holly. Poinsettias are nice, but they look more like bunches of leaves than proper flowers.

[scientize.livejournal.com]

That sounds perfect. I`ll take an order of the roses then.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Will this be for pickup or delivery?

[He smiles slyly.]

Since I can already tell you it's on the house.

[scientize.livejournal.com]

That really isn't necessary. You really won't make much of a profit if you keep giving away your flowers for free to any pretty face who calls.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd feel silly going back on my word, now.

[scientize.livejournal.com]

Don't be concerned. I'll happily pay whatever the set price is.

And I will pick it up.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

If you insist, I won't argue. Not terribly busy here at the moment, so it should only be an hour or two.

[All he really has on the agenda are Omi and Ran's orders to take down that mistletoe. And, well, Youji is rather lazy when the order comes from someone with a Y chromosome.]

[scientize.livejournal.com]

Then I will see you soon.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to it.
