School cafeteria at lunchtime, Aoi sits down beside Rose, Lily is just leaving. She was sitting a couple of spots away from Rose and apparently had some small talk with Rose.247Please respect copyright.PENANAdSZhlTbrej
"I gotta go see the teacher, see ya later Cotton Candy!"247Please respect copyright.PENANAAIoCMMQ2TK
"Yeah. Thanks for keeping me company."247Please respect copyright.PENANA53urBHFbX5
"No probs, I actually enjoyed the talk. Anyway, I gotta go. See you around!" Lily waves to them and leaves.247Please respect copyright.PENANA3LXKyST7hE
Aoi glances towards Rose, who's looking at Lily. Aoi smiles. :: Oh my, Rosie-chan, has someone found a way to cut your thorns? :: "Hi Rosie-chan, what's up with you? When did you start to talk to someone else?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAf8U1KA6lJW
Rose blushes slightly, and a tiny pink cloud of embers falls down behind her ears. "What, no, I just... Uh. We were just talking about the last lesson... Yeah."247Please respect copyright.PENANAvyF9349s75
"Oh, sure. So, what was it about?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAaHac3sduB2
"What?"247Please respect copyright.PENANALcYo93E2dx
"The last lesson."247Please respect copyright.PENANAq7RUUaGAYI
"It was, uh... About elemental interactions...?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ8vVRtKEx
Aoi grins widely, chews on her food and watches Rose, who grows a bit uncomfortable under Aoi's gaze.247Please respect copyright.PENANAnQz0t724Bm
"Rose, that was the lesson last Monday..." she says, "You never listened to lessons, unless it was practical. You wouldn't have anything to talk about if it was about lessons."247Please respect copyright.PENANAyebB5NpKWh
"Uh—"247Please respect copyright.PENANAwvBS3y8M8M
"Don't worry Rosie-chan, I won't tease you more. You'll tell me when the time is right, eh?"247Please respect copyright.PENANAjXjO9tyy2T
"Time is right for what? Tell you what exactly?"247Please respect copyright.PENANA5PWpyx8PgW
"Rosie-chan, don't tell me you don't...? Oh, this is gonna be fun. I'm looking forward to this."247Please respect copyright.PENANAVR9NnZSkXV
"Aoi, you're not making any sense."247Please respect copyright.PENANAKwS96Jlenr
