[the shrine is a bustle of (paranormal) activity today - jiuqing's eyes widen slightly as she takes it all in. there are flowers everywhere, and they're very pretty (idly, she wonders if any of them have medicinal uses, but comes to the conclusion that trying to steal them would make the ghosts angry).
hm.]
...something must be going on here, don't you think?
[she asks kazunari, since by Rule Of PC they're both showing up here at like the same time]
We had flower gardens where I grew up, and I used to bring them into my room as decoration. When I was younger, I enjoyed arranging them in vases myself.
[she smiles]
I think for this, since they're to decorate tables where people may be sitting and eating, they should be a little smaller than your average vase...
Aw, that's a cute hobby to grow up with! Totally suits you!
Smaller arrangements, huh... whoa! [ flying vase?! he pulls her with him to duck! ] ...Guess we've got a real challenge ahead of us, don't we? I'm into it, if you are!
[eep! she ducks when he pulls her down, and she stares at the shattered vase a moment later. yikes.]
...I'm willing to try, but perhaps one of us ought to keep an eye out for projectiles while the other works with the flowers. We can switch off from time to time.
[hmm... time to appraise the flowers. she sorts them out first by shape - like with like, and then again by size - to get an idea of what they have to work with.]
And I'll certainly let you know. Likewise, if you get bored with keeping watch and want to try your hand at the flowers, please say so; we can switch right away.
Huh. Wonder why? [ beat. ] Well, we don't want to freak them out, so I guess it's a good thing we used them already. Probs went to better use out there!
So, what do you think could appease an unhappy bride?
Well, you know how arranged marriages are! You might be strangers at first, but you can still totally fall in love. Stories like that are always hella popular!
