3rd Conviction [Action]

[cry_camellia]

[Tralala, Tsubaki is out today (and I use the word "today" very loosely :|b), skipping happily through the village. Why? Well it's because she's off to find some chocolate parfait, of course! After all, that's what you do when you're from a cracky AU in which things are much more light-hearted and no one ever goes blind or gets ordered to kill

[Since "today" is loosely interpreted, let's just say Litchi's back home again from her trip to the mountains. Yay~

She's on her way to the grocery store and just kind of stops and stares at Tsubaki skipping along, shocked. When she'd left, the girl had been... well. Not in skipping condition, to put it lightly.

Have a bewildered tone.] Tsubaki?

[Yay! It's the owner of the friendly clinic where stomach aches related to over-indulging in parfait disappear in the blink of an eye~!]

Litchi! It's so good to see you! [Oh, the enthusiasm!!1]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[...Tsubaki, did you get into the painkillers? Still, she can't help but smile.]

It's great to see you! How are you feeling?

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

[If they were brightly colored and left out somewhere within reach, then yes. Quite possibly. Because nothing bad ever happens to anyone, so what's the harm?]

On top of the world, and yourself?

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[The enthusiasm is contagious! She laughs lightly.]

I have to say, I'm doing pretty well myself. [Fire-sneezing Koopas aside, of course.]

Where were you headed, if you don't mind me asking...?

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

[Spread the joyyyyyyyy.]

That's great to hear. And I'm glad you asked! I'm off to get some chocolate parfait... would you be interested in joining me?

[Action]

[Litchi casts a quick glance towards the grocery store, thinking for a moment if it can wait. Tao does need more food, not to mention the others of the house. But just a few minutes' break won't hurt, right...?]

That sounds wonderful. I will need to get some groceries for all of us after that, though, so don't let me forget.

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

I won't. In fact, I'd be happy to assist you! [She did catch that glance, though.] Or we could get that over with first, if you'd prefer? Then the parfait would be something of a reward...

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

No, no, it's alright. This gives me some time to get my list together, at least. Is there anything you wanted?

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

...Me? I appreciate the thought, but I think I ought to head home after this.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[...What. Litchi's face is the perfect expression of confusion. She's missing something here.]

..."Home"?

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

Well, not home exactly, but back to Kagutsuchi. I'm still on duty, after all.

[She smiles brightly. It should be easy enough to get back. You probably even know the way back youself, Litchi, right?]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[Okay, what. Litchi's look of confusion only grows.]

That... may take a while, to be perfectly honest with you. Are you sure you don't want anything in the meantime?

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

A while...? [Now Tsubaki's confused, but she's also quick to shrug it off.] C-Captain Hazama isn't going to be impressed.

But there's no point in worrying about that now. Let's just go get some parfait and I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[And the look of confusion darkens. Hazama? Okay, now she's really suspecting shenanigans from the Malnosso. First the Imperator, now this? Just what did Hazama have to do with anything...?]

Ah... y-yes, let's do just that. No need to worry at all.

[Odd how that's the part that weirds her out.]

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

[The Captain's pretty harmless. Just kind of a bitch, that's all.]

You wouldn't happen to know where we might be able to find some though, would you?
