Pheonix Down

*smiles*
"I think so."
(I gotta go)

(yea, me too...)

*walks in a lays down on his large green sofa, not wanting to go upstairs to his own bed. In fact, he hasn't gone upstairs in a while*
*As he lays there he looks up at the ceiling, wondering if he should just close that section of the store off.*

"......"
*sighs*
"What a crumby place this has turned into, I was hoping for such a bright future too..."
*rolls over and faces the back of the couch*

*walks up to the door and tilts head to side, knocking once*
*lowers arm to side and opens the door, stepping in as some snow gets blown in as well*
What is this place...?
*looks around, blinking and in surprise, fascinated by the atmosphere*

*ears twitch in his hat and he feels the cold air on his skin*
*rolls over and sees someone at the threshold of the door*
*sits up*
"Hello there, how may I help you?"
*he speaks in a professionally-cheery tone*

*zones back and turns face over to the boy, blinking once with small flecks of snow still in hair*
Ah...
*gets taken a back slightly by his awkwardly cheery tone, speaking rather monotonous*
Ah, what is this... place?

*keeps speaking in the same tone, trying to feign overenthusiasm*
"This is Pheonix Down! Here you can ressurect your dead friends back to life or draw power from them to add to your own! All for a fee of course.."

*wrinkles nose very slightly, closing eyes halfway*
You don't have to put on a charade, sir... it's unnerving.
*opens eyes and looks up at him calmly, nodding once*
Can you cure people's illnesses...?

*fake smile fades and kuro pulls his hat down farther onto his head*
*Stands up*
"Depends on what it is, please have a seat"
*gestures over the coffee table in front of him to group of three large green leather armchairs in front of the couch*
"Would you like some tea miss?"
*all while he is talking he speaks in an almost bored tone*

*narrows eye a small amount in thought while walking over*
*stands in front the boy and looks up at him, raising hand to move his hat away*
My name is Cyrille. I like butterflies, pearls, flowers, and animals.
*gives a slight smile and closes eyes, face still tilted up*
As for you?

*half smiles, but a genuine smile none-the-less*
"My name is Kuro Tadashi, I'm the owner of this store, last of the Lupo Tribe and lso..."
*snaps his fingers and a swarm of firey butterflies flitter about the shop, landing on things but not burning even the slightest*
"I tend to like butterflies and animals myself too, and they like me"
*tips the hat back down*

*opens eyes and catches the smile, smiling back pleasently*
*looks around to the butterflies surprised and eyes widen in delight, a childish grin escaping*
*turns back to him and the grin fades to a small smile, tapping head back*
Tadashi-san, would you like to take your mind off things?

*nods*
"I would, but then, there is soo much to think about"
*smiles then walks over to the counter and sets a pot to boil*

*looks outside to see only snow covered trees and roads*
That sounds stressful. Taking a break is nice too.
*turns head to side looks over shoulder to the pot being put to boil*

*chuckles a bit*
"A break would be the last thing I need actually..."
*crushes mint into a mixture of herbs in a marble bowl, then adds a dried sakura blossom to the mix and crushes that in as well*
"Would you liek some tea? By the way, what disease were you interested in me healing?"

Ah, yes please.
*sits down on the ledge of the couch, holds folded in lap*
*sits straights and looks at every inch of the store, taking in the detail*
... nevermind. I want her to wake up herself.

*As she looks around she notices that the shop is.... green... not just the color, even the wood that makes up the walls seems to still be alive, and vines poke out from it and even cover an entire wall in the back next to the stairs that lead up to the second floor.*

*pours the boiling water into two cups and dips a strainer with the herbal mixture into them repeatedly*
*takes the tea out and places it on the cofee table with sugar and cookies*

(sorry, mother called)

Is this place... alive?
*blinks and turns head up to Kuro, confused by so much greenery*

*Nods*
"I't is among the living yes, but it isn't... how should I say it?.... Well I guess I could just say that instead of building this shop, I sort of planted it"
*takes his tea and sips it*

*walks in clapping and all the lights turn on*

*follows him into the shop, eyes slowly staying solid purple*

*dusts off his large green armchair and sits down it in*
*points to one of the smaller green armchairs*
"Seat?"

*sits down and curls up slightly in the chair, automatically, like the reaction a dog would have*
Thanks...

*raises an eyebrow*
"Why do you do that?"

*walks slowly into the shop*
Knock knock..
