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.280Please respect copyright.PENANAhyQiHldEjq
"I gotta go see the teacher, see ya later Cotton Candy!"280Please respect copyright.PENANAOLMdqpZoVu
"Yeah. Thanks for keeping me company."280Please respect copyright.PENANA9qkyg5WDgf
"No probs, I actually enjoyed the talk. Anyway, I gotta go. See you around!" Lily waves to them and leaves.280Please respect copyright.PENANAmQWBN6oUdz
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?"280Please respect copyright.PENANAI0kTlZRCjf
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."280Please respect copyright.PENANAi1wsmCsdts
"Oh, sure. So, what was it about?"280Please respect copyright.PENANAiS8WycO0Ov
"What?"280Please respect copyright.PENANA7QsVHc6Lzj
"The last lesson."280Please respect copyright.PENANA4zWIZ1J4sV
"It was, uh... About elemental interactions...?"280Please respect copyright.PENANAb4JqlBRe7R
Aoi grins widely, chews on her food and watches Rose, who grows a bit uncomfortable under Aoi's gaze.280Please respect copyright.PENANAf86EvGFksR
"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."280Please respect copyright.PENANALSWDG5LNYw
"Uh—"280Please respect copyright.PENANAiAoaelux6o
"Don't worry Rosie-chan, I won't tease you more. You'll tell me when the time is right, eh?"280Please respect copyright.PENANA6GQAJwizoM

"Rosie-chan, don't tell me you don't...? Oh, this is gonna be fun. I'm looking forward to this."280Please respect copyright.PENANAxfiY8rUVIA
