Will we meet for dinner in elysium, my dear(Ami and Natsume)

[Anastasia]

"Looking good, Ami-chan," Artemis calls, to your surprise. "Very nice," Luna agrees, entering on his heels, the two currently cats having nudged your door open just enough to enter.

"Going out somewhere," the white cat asks, hopping onto your bed. "Your Mom's dragging your out to a nice lunch or dinner?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami spins around to face the Mau, hot embarrassment creeping up on her cheeks, and she drops back a step.

"Ano...no..." she murmurs, hesitating before deciding keeping it to herself will just make them more curious. "Kusanagi-san invited me to her home to eat tonight." Fidgeting slightly and her blush darkening at Artemis' presence in the room, Ami folds her arms around herself, almost protectively, and tries not to sigh as a touch of the earlier meloncholy returns at seeing him with Luna.

Should I begrudge him that? After all, Natsume...But, I can't just dispell my feelings about...for...?Him...

[Anastasia]

"Ah," Luna smiles. "Artemis mentioned her to me today. How is she doing," Luna asks, sticking rather close to your cat crush.

[Bean Bandit]

Luna is my friend. Artemis is my friend. No matter what I'm sorting out for him, resentment is silly, especially if Natsume... THAT perks her up a little, and helps her avoid using a chilly tone.

"She's fine." Ami smiles wryly. VERY fine. No blushing, no blushing... Her face pinks a little as she works to control it. "It was just a mild concussion...mother's going to send her home this afternoon."

[Anastasia]

"That's good news," Artemis agrees, as he lies on your bed, and probably sheds on it, too. Luna nods agreement, lying next to him. "Mmm...Is Usagi going with you? I know she's friends with Natsume already."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blushes visibly, this time. "I'm not sure." She replies, truthfully....if only barely. "She didn't mention that."

[Anastasia]

"I'll ask her when I get home," Luna volunteers, stretching out, sending her cat limbs akimbo. "Maybe after a nap...wore myself out," she yawns, Artemis seconding that. "It was more work getting to the piers today than we thought..."

So murmuring, he curls up and rests his head on his paws. "Have fun, Ami-chan."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami gives the Mau a meloncholy smile, and scratches lightly behind his ears. "You too, Artemis." she smiles. Resist....Resist...I can't! She thinks with a flash of pure mischief.  "And be good. We don't want the neighbours to know you and Luna are sleeping together. There'd be a scandal." this last is tossed over her shoulder as she heads out of the room, her face burning as the uncharacteristic tease makes her thoughts spin.

That wasn't like me...what is WRONG with me today?

[Anastasia]

"AMI!"

"AMI-CHAN!"

The dual yelps from the Mau echo as you retreat, assured blushed on both of their faces at your comment. From the plopping sound, you're sure they both fell over from that little gem of commentary.

[Bean Bandit]

I enjoyed that far too much. Ami admits to herself with a deep blush. I wonder if that will make it awkward? she thinks, feeling mildly guilty. Slipping down the hall, Ami ducks into the living room to...well, she doesn't know, exactly. She can't go back to her room, and she still has time before she needs to leave to track down Natsume's address...

[Anastasia]

Even as you sit down, a memory pings your mind. "Come visit today, Ami-chan..." drifting through like a breeze from the cold north wind.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami frowns, finding the silent invitation...startlingly compelling. I...I thought I dreamed that. I did, didn't I? Biting her lip, Ami nods slowly to herself. But...if I didn't...I should....Well, I should go apologize to Tellu. Right? Or....something...

That decision tentatively made, Ami gets ready to leave, glancing at the clock to make sure she has enough time to go to Mugen AND Natsume's dojo.

[Anastasia]

You do, though you shouldn't tarry too much here if you are going to. It doesn't hurt that the bus routes work well with this, making you do minimal switching and walking.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, and slips out of the apartment with a called 'See you later' to the Mau. The nature of her dream cast in doubt, Ami fights a growing unease as she hurries to Mugen. I didn't do that with Tellu....not REALLY. Right?

[Anastasia]

As you think on it..her touch, her smell, the feeling of her tongue...there...

A fierce blush comes to your face at that, even as the words, "I love you," from her play in your mind. If she did...do that and said that....
