[ Natsume's walking through what looks like a forest with an umbrella in his hand, his notebook that has access to the community in the other. He stops near a tree while it's still raining lightly and talks. ]

I just wanted to let everyone know that everything turned out okay. I guess I worried some of you with my last post...

[ There's a pause, then Natsume looks out around the rain. ]

It's Sunday here so I don't have school and I wanted to show everyone something that I saw the other day. It only happens when it rains and the sun comes out. It looked light enough that I think it should soon.

[ Natsume keeps standing there while the rain keeps drizzling lightly, looking a little disappointed that the sun hasn't come out yet. Seriously it must be like 6 in the morning. Natsume shrugs one of his shoulders like he's trying to brush something off (for those with spiritual abilities, they can see it's a little green youkai that looks like a frog with really long legs and a paper mask over his face and a straw hat that had hopped onto his shoulder just because it was there. To everyone else it probably looks like he was trying to shoo a small bug though. Still waiting, so Natsume speaks up again. ]

I guess while we wait, I'll ask a question. What kinds of places are your favorites to visit near where you live?

[ Almost as soon as he asks the question though, the rain seems to let up so Natsume looks up and closes his umbrella, glancing at a field behind some of the trees he's in between as he moves the camera to show the field. As the sun starts to come out, the whole field seems to slowly light up. ]

Have you ever made crowns with them?

[makewayforroze]

...Not since I was a child.

[Then she laughs and sets the book down, though Natsume can still see the flowers.] I'll make one now.

[spiritually]

You'd look good with one.

[makewayforroze]

I'm glad you like them because the first one is for you. [He'll see Roze shooting him a smile.]

[spiritually]

For me?

[ He looks surprised. But he likes flower crowns okay!! He'll wear them with her all day. :T ]

[makewayforroze]

[Her hands work fast. Some things you never forget.]

For you. Would you like one for Nyanko, too ?

[spiritually]

...Nyanko-sensei would probably eat it, we'd better skip one for him.

[makewayforroze]

[And a completed crown is held up.]

Then this one is for you.

[spiritually]

[ He smiles. ] Thanks, Roze. I'll wear it. [ At home probably, because the world doesn't need to know that he's got flowers from another world okay..]

[makewayforroze]

[You should wear it and she'll come stop anybody who tries to pick you on. grrr....

Anyhow, she's now making her own.]

It'll look very nice on you. [She laughs softly. It will but she knows most boys aren't that into flowers.]

[spiritually]

[ Natsume loves all the pretty things, including flowers...

As long as no one's sprinkling them all over his room in the middle of the night... Then it's problematic... ]

Thanks. It'll look better on you, though.

[makewayforroze]

[She suddenly gets excited.] I want to record you when you put them on, if you'd let me.

[spiritually]

[ asdkgjhaskdhg oh god. Natsume's not embarrassed about that, he looks really happy. ]

If you want, we have cameras here. I can get mine and I'll develop two copies of the picture, so you can keep one. If you want to take a picture together..

[ HE WANTS TO PUT IT IN HIS CLOSET WITH HIS OTHER PICTURES.. ]

[makewayforroze]

[She nods. They do have cameras and she would love to have pictures!]

That sounds like a very good idea! I'd really enjoy it, thank you.

[spiritually]

I'll see if I can find someone with a worldhop.

[makewayforroze]

Thank you. I'm in Liore, now.

> action?

[spiritually]

[ Yay Masamori gonna give him a worldhop. After a little bit, he shows up with a camera, those tea cups he got for her birthday a bit back, and a smile on his face. ]

Roze!

Action all the way!

[makewayforroze]

[She had waited by the flowers, picking a few extra into a bouquet. When she sees him, her smile is instant as she waves.]

Natsume. How are you? [And then, as if seeing the flowers in her hand, she held them out for him.] These are for you to take back. [She remembers he likes doing nice things for the people he lives with.]

Yay!

[spiritually]

[ Surprise was evident on Natsume's face when he received the flowers, a faint blush painting across his cheeks. He wasn't expecting extra gifts, but this.. He would love to put them at the kitchen table for everyone to share. ]

Thank you, Roze. [ Then his brain apparently seems to start up again and he holds out the gift bag he has containing the tea cups. ] Sorry it took me so long.

[makewayforroze]

[She hadn't been expecting anything either so she takes it with slightly parted lips. As she opens it, she grins.]

I wish I had brought something for us to drink. Thank you!

[spiritually]

It's okay. [ He smiles to her, a little embarrassed. Gifts, what is this? ] I'm just glad I was finally able to get them to you.

[ He felt bad asking Masamori for worldhops too often... Maybe he should bake him a cake like Roze taught him to a while ago. ]

[makewayforroze]

I really like them! [And she does seem very happy with them. She never did get a lot of new new things.] The next time you come to visit, we'll use them.

[She likes Masamori and totally help him.]

[spiritually]

I look forward to it. [ He smiles, then holds up the camera. ] Do you want to take it now?

[makewayforroze]

[She moves closer to look at it.] I do. [She knows cameras, at least. They have those!]

[spiritually]

[ This one's a pretty simple one. It uses film still-- Natsume didn't want to get the digital one. They're expensive, that would've been too much to ask of Touko and Shigeru.. and somehow having this kind seemed more fun anyway. ]

With the flowers on?
