[Shirley is out in the park today, humming softly to herself and... dancing? She seems like she doesn't really notice anything that's going on around her, but she does look very happy (and she's not too bad at it). You might even see what appears to be a shimmering butterfly dancing alongside her.]

Come on! [laughs slightly, then smiles] Maybe we

Comments

[discardedwish]

I enjoy dancing, or rather, it appears like it is fun.

[merines]

It is, very much. [smiles] Would you like to dance, Nataku?

[discardedwish]

I would, if you do not mind my joining your fun.

[merines]

I'd be happy if you joined me!

[discardedwish]

Understood.

I believe I know where that park is [some blush at that thought, before shake of head] ... so I shall be there shortly.

[merines]

Okay!

[discardedwish]

[and drops from this level before hooray appearing on first level with Shirley]

... what a cute butterfly.

[merines]

[smiles, holding out a hand so that it comes and rests just above it] You like it? It's my teriques.

[discardedwish]

[smiles back as he gets down a little so that he can look at the butterfly a little better] Teriques?

[merines]

Yes. [closes her hand and the 'butterfly' disappears, and then it reappears when she opens it again] It's a part of every Ferines. They say that no two are exactly alike. [smiles, and her teriques flies around Nataku, growing slightly when it gets to his back to look like full wings and fluttering there, before shrinking down to butterfly size and completing its circle around him]

[discardedwish]

[moment of 'aw' when the 'butterfly' disappeared before happier in its reappearance] I see. Like the belief related to snowflakes, correct? [Watches it intently as it flies around, trying to crane neck to watch its flight before it is complete -- and smiles] It is a lovely teriques.

[merines]

Yes, exactly like that. [smiling more~] Although, with a teriques, the belief is because it reflects our nature and our soul.

Ah...! [blushing] Th-thank you.

[discardedwish]

[small nods] I see. [stares at the 'butterfly' for a little longer before coming to an obvious conclusion] Your nature and soul must be very kind, then. But, I suppose one could tell that from how you naturally are around others. Still, it is nice to be proven right.

You are welcome, Shirley.

[merines]

Ah...! Th-thank you... [o//////o]

[discardedwish]

You are welcome.
