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.60Please respect copyright.PENANANxHMOyl6Om
"I gotta go see the teacher, see ya later Cotton Candy!"60Please respect copyright.PENANA2nfb79dFts
"Yeah. Thanks for keeping me company."60Please respect copyright.PENANAPSSMmjRFaE
"No probs, I actually enjoyed the talk. Anyway, I gotta go. See you around!" Lily waves to them and leaves.60Please respect copyright.PENANA7kNF4PD70j
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?"60Please respect copyright.PENANAgy4u0QsMbX
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."60Please respect copyright.PENANANohFNbAYR9
"Oh, sure. So, what was it about?"60Please respect copyright.PENANAgolRI8f55C
"What?"60Please respect copyright.PENANA5IQgP4FU2X
"The last lesson."60Please respect copyright.PENANAEaD7kkd7ju
"It was, uh... About elemental interactions...?"60Please respect copyright.PENANATcUKNzvBXB
Aoi grins widely, chews on her food and watches Rose, who grows a bit uncomfortable under Aoi's gaze.60Please respect copyright.PENANArtPvcfiWjB
"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."60Please respect copyright.PENANAYssc6T9cqr
"Uh—"60Please respect copyright.PENANA6etbISkW1R
"Don't worry Rosie-chan, I won't tease you more. You'll tell me when the time is right, eh?"60Please respect copyright.PENANA2zMM8HxPmS
"Time is right for what? Tell you what exactly?"60Please respect copyright.PENANABcifdfy7EX
"Rosie-chan, don't tell me you don't...? Oh, this is gonna be fun. I'm looking forward to this."60Please respect copyright.PENANAqHYU4HTj1m
"Aoi, you're not making any sense."60Please respect copyright.PENANAdPPbO76Px7
"Don't worry about it, you'll see in time, you'll see."60Please respect copyright.PENANAjSkMoExhAg
