"Stupid roses! Who do they think they are?!" She lept onto her bed and punched her 'I heart kittehz' pillow several times.
Suzume huffed and threw the pillow out the window. It fell for a bit before hitting the Black Rose's windowframe, then started falling again. A thought registered, and she felt for the katana that was laying on her desk. Suzume grinned slightly and looked out the window, humming noisily.
"... 'Accept the black roses', eh? Of course. I'll be of a great help to them.."

He walked to the outside of the window, picking the pillow back up and snickering, "I heart kittehz? Who actually sells this stuff?" He looks around for who threw the pillow then looked up to the window above the Rose's house. He sighed and walked the pillow back into the castle as he dusted it off. He placed the pillow just inside the door before walking back to the Rose quarters.

She quickly dropped her katana and started to run for the door, but tripped over it instead and hit the door with a big bang.
With shaking hands, she opened the door slightly.
"I'm still here.." Suzume started to turn red.

In her head she could here the plant spirits singing, there were no words, most spirits preferred their own language, which came off as music to Avaron. Today the sounds were something reminding her of a mountainous region early in the morning when the dew was still visible. She smiled, she felt like flying, especially with the summer breeze making her silver looking hair ripple.
As she continued to walk she heard someone humming, at first she figured it was another spirit wanting to be noticed, but then she realized it was actually Takashiro, one of the Black Roses. She opened her eyes and hid behind a bush that had light blue flowers, Agapanthuses. She didn't want anyone to see her because that meant explaining things, such as where are you going then they would follow her. She understood perfectly well that that was their job and why her parents even had people with that job, but she wanted to listen to the spirits today and not have to listen to people breathing, walking, or even talking behind her.

"I know you are there please show yourself." He said in a calm even tone as he stood there waiting to see if he would get a response.

"Sorry I didn't mean to frighten you," Avaron said, her voice quiet and breathy like the wind. She thought she would ask him some questions before he could ask her any, get him talking and get his mind off protecting her, "That tune you were humming where did you learn it? It was beautiful, at first I thought it might have been a spirit singing it, but..." she then realized that she was rambling and immediately stopped and self-consciously looked down, her hand automatically putting her hair behind her ear.
She looked back at the house, she was almost at the boundary. Her parents after realizing her habit of wandering alone had given their daughters, but mostly just for her, a boundary. They were not to go past the boundary alone, only being able to go down a small creek if they were accompanied by one of the Bloody Violets or Black roses. Though somehow Avaron always found a way to go to the creek alone which made her happy.

"H-How did that get there?!"
She quickly stood up and ran towards it, picking the fluffy pink object up. Hugging it, she twirled around and swore not to chuck it out the window ever again. Suzume noticed that October and Delilah were still standing there.
"Oh, uh.." Suzume turned deep pink. "T-This.. Uh.. Nothing that concerns you.. Eheh.." She smiled a bit.
Suzume turned her head away and faced the window. Noticing the black rose and Avaron were talking, she glared out at him. It's time to help them.
"Aha! He's trying to win her over, he is!" Clenching her fist, she yelled to the other girls. "Well, that's NOT going to happen!"

Evaleena sat up in her bed. She looked down at her burgundy sheets, she was usually prim and proper before the sun came up. 'Im always the professional one' she thought to herself, 'so what if I ocassionally sleep in?' She pushed the velvet blanket off her lap and got out of bed. Her mattress, as comfortable as it was, tempted her nearly begging her to deposit herself back into its cushions but as the strong and not easily pressured young lady she was she resisted and walked over to the bureau. As usual she pulled out one of the many red and black corsets from her plentiful collection, along with her lacy black petticoat and scarlet red skirt. She fixed up her make-up and added some red lipstick; to commemorate all the blood shed in battle. Then she brushed her crimson tresses which stoped abit below her chin, framing her face. She finished up by lacing up her knee-high combat boots and hid her newly sharpened utility knife in the secret pocket by the hem of her skirt. She looked out the window and saw the Hikuu twins talking in the garden and Takashiro who seemed to be waiting in the sidelines. They seemed to be bickering but from this distance Evaleena was unsure. They were sweet girls, and reminded her of Vena and Rauxanne, her two younger siblings she left when she moved to Japan. Now that she was ready Eva walked through the hallways and out into the garden. She gave Takashiro a sympathetic glance, as it seemed he was being ignored at the moment, though Evaleena doubted he cared. She placed herself beside the Bleeding Heart flowers, which happened to be her favorite, and watched the scene play out.

"I was in the music room. Mizuki wanted to hear me play the piano," she answered. She was tentative about telling her older sister this because everyone in her family just believed that her friend, Mizuki or the moon spirit, was just her imaginary friend. And their mom especially got distressed at the mentioning of it always stating clearly that, 'You are too old to be having imaginary friends, and it's especially childish since your part of the royal family!'.
After mentioning Mizuki, Avaron blushed remembering that Takashiro was there and that Evaleena had walked up. She covered her face and ran towards her special creek without another word. It embarrassed her greatly to have to mention her dearest friend in front of others. She wasn't sure if they believed her or not because they could never voice or show their opinions, but she was sure that they were similar thoughts to her mother's.
At the creek Avaron could feel the suddenly cool air around her. She ran over to her secret spot, a small ledge branch that crossed over the creek like a bridge, it was also covered with leaves so if you sat on it nobody would see you, ignoring the fact that she was getting dark mud all over her white dress. On the ledge she let her legs dangle down, the leaves brushed gently against her arms, as if old friends were trying to comfort her.
She sighed, "I'm sorry for feeling embarrassed about mentioning you to anyone Mizuki, but I'm sure you understand how people judge me," she whispered to the air. A soft breeze seemed to answer in return as if to say, 'It's okay, besides I will always be here for you no matter what'. Avaron smiled at the answered and swung her legs slightly back and forth.

Surprised, Evaleena's hand flew to the hidden pocket in her skirt where her Utility Knife was held. Though she knew if it was hand to hand combat she would do just as well, after all she had trained her whole life, she was no amatuer. She looked up to see one of the Black Roses in front of her. Eva sighed in relief hoping to not have scared him off.
Takashiro had come to greet her, unlike the rest of the Roses she didnt mind him, respected him even. Although their relationship was purely business he seemed friendly enough. Evaleena, embarassed, smiled and greeted him.
"Thank you, as do you. Actually i was just admiring the Lemon Bells, they remind me of my childhood..." Well the few good parts, she thought to herself. " ..and how are you this morning Takashiro?"
