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

[Bean Bandit]

That's a suprising reaction. Ami thought, blinking. I....Oh! Oh dear...

"It's not valuable." Ami blurts hastily, blushing. "I actually made that..." she trails off, clutching the bokken to her chest.

[Midnight Sun]

"You made it?" Natsume asked as she inspected the stone critically. Though, she was not a professional jeweler, so she had no clue what to look for. "Well, if you made it, than that makes it incredibly valuable. Don't you think?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blushed darker, beginning to get a little flustered. "Not really...I mean, I suppose it's a rarity...but It's not even really a gem...I was using crystal base structures to make that into a better lens for your lightsaber than the diamond that's in it already..."

[Midnight Sun]

Crystal base structures? Huh?

"Ah...I see," Natsume says anyway. "Well, regardless, I'll treasure no matter what the value is. You made it with your hands, so to me its alot more valuable than any gem you can buy."

[Bean Bandit]

"I....ah....you're welcome." Ami stammered, blushing. "And...Thank you, Natsume-chan..." she added, feeling the need to express herself equally. "I...can tell this was close to you..."


Did I just call her with '-chan'???? Ami thought suddenly, looking up, nervously.

[Midnight Sun]

"I have my other sword now, so I don't really have a need for this anymore," Natsume said in regards to the bokken. "It'd be a shame if it just collected dust in the dojo. I'm sure it'll be very happy with you."

[Bean Bandit]

Unconsciously, Ami looked down at the bokken in her hands, her cheeks bright pink. She looked up at Natsume with a small smile and just nodded. "Just the same, Thank you."

[Midnight Sun]

She's so cute when she smiles....

"Ah...we should probably be getting back now," Natsume says, while blusing herself. "I'm sure Kurumi is wondering where we disappeared to...."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, hastily trying to compose herself and banish the blush that seems burned onto her cheeks. "Umu...Hai." She mumurs, smoothing her skirt nervously and looking over to Natsume. "Whenever you're ready."

[Midnight Sun]

Natsume leads her back to the main house. As they enter the dining room they see Kurumi laying out the last of the meal. It is hard to believe that one girl, with some help, was able to make such a spread. She pulls out a chair for Ami before sitting down herself.

"Kurumi, do you know where grandfather is?"

[Anastasia]

"He went to wash up," Kurumi smiles as she just finishes her task, sitting carefully. "We'll start as soon as he returns, Natsume-chan."

[Midnight Sun]

"Hm, well, hopefully he'll be done soon," Natsume says. "Oh, Ami, I noticed you were dropped off by...Eudial was it? Did you come from Mugen Gakuen?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smoothes he skirt under herself as she settles into her seat, momentarily flashing back to the peculiar incident at school. An uncomfortable look flickers across her face before she manages a weak smile and nods. "Un, It's why I was a bit early. I had been going to find my way here on the bus, but Eudial offered me a ride..." she murmured embarrassedly.

[Midnight Sun]

"Is she a former race car driver or something?" Natsume asks. "She doesn't drive like a sane...errr....normal person."

[Bean Bandit]

"No." Ami replies succinctly. "At least, I don't think so. Haruka is very interested in racing...and she was involved for awhile, I think, but Eudial...I think she just loves her car." Ami decides, giggling a bit. "She built it herself, and she's rightly proud of it."
