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!

You may have to resort to it, if your flower arrangements fail. [He's not smiling now, but there are shadows passing across his eyes. Irial is intent]

[Youji's still smiling. Be intent all you like.]

One of the nice things about this job--I would say the only nice thing--is that you never run out of opportunities.

You never have to resort to that.

[Because coercing or taking advantage of a woman is absolutely unforgivable.]

I have done unspeakable things. I have hurt those I care for. [His voice is low, but Irial continued to look level at the screen]

Maybe if I were human and flowers were my profession, I would have led a boring, blameless life. I can only taste what that might have been like.

[...Youji's composure has just taken a blow. If you can taste emotions through the Dreamberry, Irial, you might pick up on a lot of guilt.]

[Taken a blow, but not deserted him completely. Self-loathing makes its entrance here, though.]

Whether or not you're human has nothing to do with anything. And flowers won't make a difference, either.

No? [Irial glanced away briefly, long enough to light a cigarette and take the first drag]

Survival brings out the true nature in all of us.

A common observation.

Mm. [Exhales smoke into the screen]

What sort of flowers would you choose for a woman who fights like a man, but still dresses like a woman? [Translation: she might think she's too tough for flowers, but he suspects otherwise]

[ooc: Redo, sorry. It's so hard - faeries can't tell lies and while true for som, teeechnically, that would have been a lie]

[He takes a moment to think about that, and even though it's Irial, when Youji answers... he's actually quite sincere.]

It's a cliche choice, but... the roses. Maybe not red, and certainly not pink, but yellow or white roses.

[He's not thinking about the meanings, just the aesthetics. And if he'd ever gotten flowers for Asuka, he would have chosen white roses.]

[ooc: No problem! Don't worry about it.]
