contentedly | [ Action, Written ]

[The first nice day after a slew of rain, and Gracia is finally able to get out and run some errands. After making a big breakfast for the family, she leaves Elicia with her papa, since there is no school on Fridays, and heads into town.

Once there, Gracia has decided it's time to update her wardrobe for spring. She'll be looking through the official Clothing Shop first, but then check the All Passions out as well. Although she does find the official Clothing Shop a bit... dusty... so she may get distracted from her shopping long enough to give it a quick clean with a feather duster. She doesn't work there, but if you mistake her as an employee, then she'll still try to help!

After her shopping, Gracia decides to stop in at the Tea Shop. It's a good day for a cup of tea. And, away from her home with the bustle of all these people from other worlds around her, with the pressure of the last underground Malnosso announcement, Gracia has a question for the general populace. Speaking into these journals is still something strange for her, so after attempting a laughable filter and then disregarding it, she simply writes.]

Out of all the worlds you've heard of here, if you could pick a new one to start over in, which world would it be?

[Whenever Gracia returns from her big day out, Maes will quickly bound to greet her at the door. It's been quite an eventful day playing with Elicia ~~what, there is totally no green marker on his face~~ and he's glad to see her back.

...And he caught her question while quickly checking his journal in between tea parties. It's made him think, too.]

Welcome home, hon! [A quick kiss on the cheek.] How was your day?

[Aaand now taking some of those shopping bags from her.] Looks like it was pretty productive!

[Meanwhile, Elicia is coming out of her room in search for her mother because I TOTALLY HEARD A DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE MAMA MAMA MAMA FLYING INTO THE ROOM NOW HEY. Shopping bags are always like a treasure trove for a child with an arriving parent, okay?] Mama! Didja' find any pretty dresses for you? Didja'??

Can I pick this world? Getting to come here is like getting to start over for me! :)

[ Yep, Ryoji draws a smiley face. ]

[Raine is having an afternoon tea at the shop--she usually sits at the lower tables. But when she notices Gracia arrive, she'll give a small wave to the older woman.]

Good afternoon.

[Scorp's intention was not to go to the tea shop. Actually, he was in the welcome center, mostly for the sake of getting some new and more detailed maps. Not that he didn't have some himself but. you know. He also sleeps there sometimes. But smelling - and hearing - things upstairs he's decided to come on into it despite the heat involved with it.

Which is why a creepy bondage mange walks into the tea shop, looks around, inhales deeply, and then settles in to a little glance at every individual in the shop. He might be lost. He might just be a creeper. It might be both]

[Oh. My. Gracious.

Let us sit here quietly and hope he doesn't come over.]

[Gracia smiles.]

Hello, Miss Sage. It's nice to see you.

[...so many people really want to stay here. Even with the experiments and the war.

And here is someone who is admitting that this place is a fresh start.]

You could, but... I'd like to hear about your second choice, then.

[Aww, it's her baby! Gracia smiles and bends down to pick Elicia up and hug her.]

A few! I have a bag you should look through.

Oh - yes, the shopping was good. Thank you.

[She shuts the door behind her.]

It's nice to see you as well, Mrs. Hughes. How are you doing?

[Sniff... sniff. Glance around. And he gives a short wave to her because there aren't a ton of people in here now]

Did you meet anyone interesting?

[Because he's totally rooting for her to make some more friends ~~that aren't giant green people~~.]

Perhaps it's a mixture of the newness of it and the fantastic nature. All the things that can be done with magic.

A bag I should look through??

[Can you feel the sparkles illuminating from her face, mother. Can you.]

[Gracia, not having left her head at home, does not wave back. But she does smile a very little and nod and then drop her gaze back to her journal. Very busy over here, you see. No chance to talk.]

I'm well, thank you. I was just getting some spring shopping done. Would you like to join me for a cup of tea?

Yes, I do. [She puts Elicia down and looks at the scattered bags, one hand going to her chin.]

Hmmm... I wonder which one it is.

[>>]

That sounds good to me. [She'll nod, and rise to go join her.]

[Eheheheheheheh. Heh.]

I had tea with Professor Sage?

[Tooooooooooooootally all that's going on here, babe.]

[What you got a problem with 6' bondage suit creepers??

...Either way that just makes him smile to himself. Well then. He'll waltz on over to sit in a table none too far from her. It's not invasively close but more than close enough that his Sebacean Hearing can hear literally everything she's doing as if he were sitting next to her.

...My, is he really this bored here? He must be]

I just turned one! Well, back home I just turned one! It was my birthday! Rem made me a cake and everything because she said it's important to celebrate birthdays! But here the days are a little different. My birthday isn't for another few months here!

[Are you sure about that. :|]

Oh, yes? What did she have to say about Elicia in school?

[All the highest glowing remarks ever?]

[Well, I hope he likes the sound of writing and of someone lightly sipping tea, because that's all that's going on here.]

Enjoying he break in the rain?
