[ So Valentine's Day doesn't particularly mean much to Mikado, except that it's February 14th. That means he's been in Luceti for roughly three months and... things are starting to become routine. He's gotten used to the wings, meeting people who aren't human or have different standards or have strange-sounding jobs are starting to feel normal. The experiments are a nice break from the routine, but he's afraid that one day he's going to find that normal as well. He's starting to notice himself adjusting to this exotic land and it's scaring him a little bit.

More than that though, he's really homesick. Lately he finds himself comparing everything in Luceti to something from home, and just more frustrated knowing that he's not able to go home at will. The most recent experiment was just a blow to the face--seeing Anri after what felt like forever just made him realize how incomplete he feels without her around. Romantic feelings aside, he's sure that this homesickness wouldn't be so bad if all three of them were back together again.

Basically? Adjusting is a bitch. ]

...What is an "everyday" to you?

Not necessarily here in Luceti, but in your home world as well.

[ he drops into his chair gracefully, casually grabbing the menu from another, currently unseated table and takes a look over the selections.

this could be a period of deep thought. but shuri isn't exactly known for that. the warm feelings he has for the nearly complete stranger seem completely normal to him - as far as he's concerned, it's not much different than the absolute adoration he feels for konatsu. just... stronger. a lot stronger. there's something about this guy that makes him curious, and for some reason, he's happy to be around him.

of course, love, for shuri, is like any other thing that he feels. all consuming, unquestionable, and easily accepted as the most logical thing in this world.

a look up. what's with that face? ] Is something wrong?

[ YES HELLO I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU

But he's not going to say that.

Blinking out of his thoughts he looks back at Shuri with a sheepish grin. ]

Oh, n-no! I'm okay! [ leaning over to take a peek at the menu ] What were you going to order?

A slice of cake and a cappuccino. [ holding the menu out with a smile~ ]

[ Taking it (STILL SELF-CONSCIOUS) and glancing it over ] Hmm... I think I'll have a muffin and black tea.

No sweets at all? Hoo, how strong!

O-Oh, is that bad...?

It's very adult! [ except you consider yourself two years older, shuri. ]

Huh? No, that's not it at all... [ embarrassed, waving his hand in front of his face ] I'll probably just end up putting sugar in my tea, anyway.

Coffee itself is very grown up and mature. [ hmm ] Maybe I should try to be more like you.

[ blinkblink ] ...But senpai, aren't you older than me?

You can learn from anyone!! No matter what the age!

And your maturity and strength show if someone older can admire you.

[ lasdjflksfjl

A shy smile, blush creeping up on his face. Also debating whether he should sink down into his seat more or not. and dammit why don't I have an icon for this ]

S-Senpai! Don't say embarrassing things like that...! [ don't believe it. He's totally loving it. ]

[ sparkle sparkle. if they were still in an anime, there'd be some kind of fantastic bishoujo rabu rabu background behind him. ]

The truth isn't embarrassing. Uwaah, so modest too!

[ with like sparkles and bubbles and rainbows and flower petals and shit right?

And saying to him like he's scolding and/or whining, ] Shuri-senpai...!

[ so many rainbows. ]

I only say the truth.

Now, Mikado, tell me more about yourself. [ this is rare. ]

Oh, me? Um... [ thinking for a bit, where to begin? ] Ah, I'm from Japan. I-It's on Earth, I don't know if you... [ don't want to be offensive now! ]

Earth?

Is it true your continents don't float?

Huh...? No, they don't. Not on water, at least.

Do yours, then?

How strange...! They float in the air, in my world.

What? In the air?! That's so... [ waa shuri-senpai that's so kakkoi, if this was a manga there'd be sparkles all around Mikado right now. ] ...I-Incredible! Your world sounds so interesting...

That's just a normal world for me. [ sparkle ore, mikado. ] Tell me more about this Japan.

[ Ah that's right, different standards of normal and stuff. ]

Oh, it's really not that interesting... It's a small island country, and everyone looks similar, and none of us have special powers, or anything.

Strange... [ he's trying hard to imagine a world like that. getting his mind around non floating continents is the hardest part. ]

[ Yes, the edge of land means water, is that strange yet. ]

Oh, ah, Masaomi is Japanese too, but he only has blond hair because he dyes it. A lot of people do, but naturally everyone has black hair.

...Um, what about your country, senpai?
