Omake thread, Ami

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles, shaking her head. "No." She pauses, looking thoughtful. "Which is a good thing. Something happened to me this morning, though..." She trails off and eyes Artemis. "Well, It's a bit over the top, even for me." she replies vaguely.

"Nothing permanent, but just a bit of an eye opener."

[Anastasia]

As if he can sense something going waaaaaaay off course, Artemis hesitates. But as if he is a doomed ship in the Bermuda Triangle, he forges on anyway. "What happened," he asks simply.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles ruefully. "Artemis...can you trust me when I say that knowing the answer to that will upset you, whether you believe me or not?"

[Anastasia]

After a moment of thought, he nods. "I can trust you with that," he agrees.

Oh man...Ami didn't dream about us having....and....GAHHH! She's just a teenager and my ward! No way! I mean...It's Ami-chan! Gah! Luna would kill me! GAHAAAHAHHAHAH!

After that, he almost blanches entirely, quite a feat considering his fur is white. "No...I think I most definitly trust you on that," he amends a moment later.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods absently. "Okay." she agrees, smiling and standing up from the table. "And Artemis? I won't pressure you, or even kiss you again, if you don't want it." she smiles and scratches the panicky Mau's ears. "You're my best friend, first and foremost, and I won't do anything to make you uncomfortable around me. But...you're also a kind, generous, and attractive man. If you're ever interested, I'd like to try dating you, at least."

Again without waiting for an answer, Ami gets up and leaves the table, blushing badly. It needed to be said but...dear kami, that was embarrassing.

Still, she feels...oddly unburdened for having gotten it off her chest. Smiling for no particular reason, she heads to her room to work out what to take, and how to plan for untoward...'accidents.'

[Anastasia]

Artemis blushes and stares, mouth moving but no sound coming out at your proposal. As you leave, he falls flat, all four legs failing on him.

"Wow...Ami-chan..." he murmurs. "Oh man...Even if this doesn't go anywhere, how am I going to explain it to Luna?" Shuddering as he pictures the Luna PMS claw coming down, Artemis sighs. "At least it's a pretty girl. The way things work around here, I'm happy it wasn't a pretty guy saying that."

As you enter your room, smiling and enjoying the afterglow of THAT relevation:

A blur of blue, white and black zooms at you, right for your chest!

OOC - DCV+1

[Anastasia]

Unable to react to the bullet of a little girl rushing into you, you are knocked onto your fanny by a flying hug! "Hey, Ami-chan!" Hugging you, you see....



"Dad said he recruited someone new to the family today," she smiles peppily, youthful energy radiating from her.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami winces, rubbing her abused butt, then takes a good look at the girl. "Um...Hi?" Ami smiles and nods, a bit tentatively. "I take it you're my teacher, then?"

[Anastasia]

"I miiiight be," she says, detaching to rise. "But I just wanted to see who Daddy got. Better than the last jerk..." her voice drops at that, as if an old grudge is being picked up.

"I'm Skuld.  Good to meet you, Ami!"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles a bit shyly, falling back on old habits, the exuberant little girl giving of a likable, if slightly hyperactive air. "Nice to meet you, Skuld." she replies, standing herself, to bow.

[Anastasia]

"Likewise," she nods, before almost crumpling up. "oooooh...I forgot...I didn't have any before I left...." Moaning, Skuld looks up to you from her crumple point in front of you. "Do you have any ice cream?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blink blinks. "Just a moment, I'll check." Ami replies. It seems an odd request, but given the nature of where her guest is from, asking too many questions at the wrong times seems like the wrong thing to do. Ami hurries into the kitchen, and checks the fridge and freezer for and frozen treats of the cream variety...

[Anastasia]

You pass by Artemis, who is still frozen and shellshocked, muttering to himself about how, at least, Ami's a girl.

In the freezer, you find a half gallon tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream, unopened. Guess the resident grocery shopper had a sweet tooth recently?

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blinks at Artemis. He thought otherwise? I just kissed him, for heaven's sake!

Shaking THAT off, she pulls out a bowl and quickly scoops a healthy amount of ice cream into it, and replaces the tub in the freezer. Grabbing a spoon on the way, she simply sighs. Maybe I can make it to my afternoon classes? she thinks randomly.

Pushing that out of the way, she returns with the bowl of ice cream to the little girl in the hall. "Is this all right?"

[Anastasia]

"YEs," she says as you return, tearing into it quickly. She seems to recover with each bite, as if she's slurping down pure green energy instead of ice cream.

"Mmmm..." she says, finishing within twenty seconds. "Do you have any more, Ami?"
