[ Aya doesn't really like socializing like this very much, but he had wanted to explore the more off limits part of the garden for a while. The flowers are really beautiful, and he cannot help the florist inside of him wanting to see them all.]

[He's just standing there, and yes, he does have his sword. Always.]

[urnotafraid]

[ At least the folds of his current costume made it easy to hide a few weapons, although he still needed to learn how to use the sword strapped to his side. Sho looked curiously at the flowers and reaches out with the tip of his fan to poke at them. ]

Huh.

[kendonobara]

[Hears someone approach and looks over his shoulder at the newcomer. An eyebrow is raised at the mask. It would be a perfect evening for foolishness.]

[urnotafraid]

[ Sho had actually wanted something a little less flashy to go with the kimono but there simply wasn't any left. He hadn't planned to come until almost the last minute. Flicking his fan open, he turns and bows. ]

My apologies for disturbing you.

[kendonobara]

Hmm?

[...that voice.]

Sho?

[urnotafraid]

Oh. Aya?

[ He lifts the mask up and smiles just a little. ] A demon face for a Demon Prince.

[kendonobara]

[He lifts up his own mask.]

Wasn't aware you were royalty. [Smirks softly.]

[urnotafraid]

It was my nickname on the streets. Sort of like 'Well he is a prince when you're on his good side, but a demon when he gets mad'.

[kendonobara]

I can see how that's true. [Turns his eyes back to the flowers.] It's a nice costume, though.

[urnotafraid]

Yours looks a little familiar... Is that the ascot you had talked about before?

[kendonobara]

[He nods softly, turning back to Sho.]

This was my last attire while with Weiss.

[urnotafraid]

It looks rather dramatic even for assassins tasked to clean the world of evil.

[ Then again, who is he to talk with his purple kimono and sword and fan. ]

Do you miss it?

[kendonobara]

We got the job done. [Shrugs]

[He should have seen that question coming.] ...I miss having a purpose. [The next part comes a bit more quietly.] And even my team. [Gives a slightly bitter chuckle.] Nothing more, really.

[urnotafraid]

I didn't say it was a bad thing. [ Because who is he to talk with his long white coat and the six guns and oh yes, his makeup. ]

Do you want what we do to have a true purpose? [ They're just nasty little thorns right now. They could become something more, but Sho hadn't been planning for that. Yet. ]

I miss mine as well.

[kendonobara]

I'm not really saying we need one. [He is silent for a moment before continuing.] Perhaps it's just hard to see if what we're doing has an impact.

[Amethyst eyes look to Sho, curious.] Did you get along well?

[urnotafraid]

That one section of the Slums has a nicer feeling now. Haven't you noticed it? [ Sho was a street rat. Always had been, always will be. The street talked to him and even displaced he could tell the difference. ] We'll finish it up and then hold it. I also want us to start a network for information and gear. It will come later, first we need to get that gang out.

[ He opened his fan, bringing it to his face in a reflex to cover the twist to his lips and the bitter-sweet memories. The truth just comes out with a sigh. ]

We were tight. Kei, Toshi and Son were like family to me - Kei was my family, my father, Toshi my brother and Son, the guy next door. We did so many things together... until Toshi died.
