[Video - Disney Castle]

[The woman giggled behind her hand in true lady-like fashion as she leaned close to the handsome gentleman completing her arrangement. ]

“Your arrangements are always so beautiful.”

[With the last blossom set in place Chloe wrapped the arrangement up and handed it to his female customer with a response guaranteed to make the lady blush and playfully giggle again on her way towards the door. Such a display of flirting, it was one of the reasons so many ladies visited the store. They couldn‘t resist the playful banter and elegant words of the store‘s top florist.
Once the lady had been safely escorted to the door Chloe noticed the device recording the whole transaction.]

This was on was it? I might as well use this as a chance to update everyone. As you can see the White Rose has been repaired...

[Again.]

And we are open for business. We luckily didn’t suffer much damage at all during that event so any of you people participating in that auction. Feel free to come to us once the bidding has ended. I will make certain you have the right flower arrangement to suit your purchased date.

[Pfft, dating auctions. As if he would need one to find a lady. :P You poor lonely saps... ]

[Action - Port Royal]

[In hindsight perhaps carrying a bouquet of flowers around in Port Royal was just asking for trouble. The pirates there likely would have thought any one who was such a dandy would be an easy mark, but as the dagger sank deep into their throat they would have discovered the truth of it. Even an undead pirate was vulnerable in the moonlight... and the flower carrying man was far from a push over.

It had been a delivery that had brought him out to this world full of pirates. And fortunately even if the bouquet had landed on the ground when the small group of pirates launched their attack it was for the most part intact. Just a little damage control and the bouquet would be looking gorgeous once again.

But as Chloe bent over to retrieve the bundle of flowers the distinct sound of steal leaving it's stealth and the rum laden voice of an other pirate cut through the night.]

“And what would you be doin’ there laddie...?”

[This was going to be a long night...]

Oh...! I had no idea we had a florist avaliable! [...Maybe, in a way, she could get tips for her garden. Even if a good portion of said garden is herbs.]

[Video]

[executionerrose]

No idea? Ciel must have been shirking his advertising duties...

[Chloe is good with all things plant related. ^^ He even looks after the rose garden at Disney Castle. Garden tips he can do.]

We would be happy to see you stop by. When ever a beautiful young lady visits the shop it always makes the flowers look more stunning.

[sanguineheels]

[Boy, you're laying it on thick, Chloe. But Lenalee will let it pass. This time. (don't let her not!boyfriend catch you flirting)]

That's very flattering, thank you. [She smiles, waving a hand] I might stop by actually -- I've been trying to raise a small garden myself, but it's not doing so well.

[Naoto had spent an extra couple of hours working on something, even though her shift had ended and someone else had started, but she had finally gotten the work done and in the end that was what mattered to her. So, with a stretch of her arms and a gun in it's holster, she started the trek back to the Gummi ship.

But first, she had to make a quick stop and make sure nothing fishy was going on. During her quick look around she spotted what she figured was something. So keeping her gun close she started to walk up.]

I hope that everything is okay here.

[The pirate looked to his crewmates, five other pirates who had gathered around to help their buddy out, before speaking to the cop.]

"This isn't any o' yer concern laddie. Just turn around and head back home before we decide to make a mess o' you too."

[Chloe stayed where he was. He didn't move or speak. Kneeling on the ground he was hoping that the foggy gloom of the street light-less darkness would be enough to hide him from Naoto. Just what he needed right now... That officer did have the worst timing...]

[She sighed, putting two fingers and her thumb on her hat, moving it slightly till in was in a position she liked. Keeping as calm as she knew to be, she looked up from beneath the rim.]

I must assure you that I'm not a laddie. [She moved her hands from the rim of her hat and pulled out her badge from her pocket.]

I'm the head of the police force in this world. I'm also second in command of the Chief of Police. [She puts it away again, this time keeping her hand near her gun as she glanced at Chloe. he was someone she recognized through various conversations in the past, but she had no clue as to why he was here.]

You do realize that this world is more dangerous at night?

[offrillsandswords]

It's nice to see that it's up and running again.

[executionerrose]

Thank you, Lizzie. We were lucky that those creatures hadn't done much damage this time.

[offrillsandswords]

It's always the shops that get damaged first in these things.

You're a regular Casanova, aren't you?

video;

[executionerrose]

Casanova had a very dim view of women, considering them objects to be won, while I on the other hand see women as something to be admired and cherished.

[So kinda? He respects women more than Casanova does... but he does have a line for everything.]

[ukidokiotaku]

[Still remind her of Tamaki...it's the look and the cheesy lines.]

You use your charms to bring woman to your store, am I right?

[Allen had so far in his job done his usual gambling habit and so with a large pouch full of pirates munny, he was set with continuing to work for the rest of the night. Spotting a guy with flowers and a few what he figured were drunken pirates who had come from the bar he stood there sighing slightly.]

Are these guy's trying to pick a fight?

action;

[executionerrose]

[Another challenger or... oh, it was Allen. Well, there was no need to hide what was really going on from him. Allen already knew he could fight.]

This group just wandered in, hopefully they will wander away as swiftly or they will meet the same end as the undead pirates did.

[Jumped by the undead and then jumped by normal pirates. It's been a rough day Allen.]

action;

[mynameisallen]

I...wouldn't try and hurt them, okay. Let me handle it.

[He walked on over to the, leaning over and a smile that could only be described and rather creepy appeared on his face.]

Good evening, I noticed that you seem to be bothering innocent people. [He points on over to Chloe for a moment.] How about you go back to the bar and I'll gladly play poker with you for whatever munny you have left. If not there are always other ways I can handle this situation.

[mountain_sage]

A flower shop?

[Curious sage is curious.]

That lady seems quite...happy.

[Video]

[executionerrose]

Naturally, a customer should always leave a store with a feeling that they can not wait to return again.

[The female customers especially. ~,^]

You have never heard of the store either? That is the second time today some one has said that.

[Really, what had that Ciel been doing lately? Wasn't he advertising at all!?]

Do you also have an interest in flowers?

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Fair enough. It seems to be the way to keep a good business running.

Really? Well, perhaps I've not paid attention. My duties keep me quite busy.

[So he doesn't think it's Ciel's fault.

Yes, flowers are quite a fascinating creation of pure nature. It's interesting how nature can form so many unique shapes and colors.

[But as far as attracting ladies with flowers is concerned, he hasn't got a clue.]

[ video ]

[thisonemaiden]

That one said that it did not want to go with the others. It wanted to stay and bloom more. It was still very young...

[ video ]

[executionerrose]

That one? I'm not sure what you mean.

[ video ]

[thisonemaiden]

The small flower. He was not ready to leave.

[sinfullysublime]

...you and I need to talk.

video; private.

[executionerrose]

Agreed, though I thought you might be less open to the idea.

Where would you like to meet?

[the_most_talent]

[ She gets it... the flirting shtick is a part of luring customers to the shop... right? But why did it irritate her so much to see him flirting with other women?

Cough... but given what they've recently learned about each other... she needs to try and ignore that unsavory portion of the video feed]

Well- I'm glad to hear that your business was salvageable.

[Awkward beginning]

[executionerrose]

[That and... he appreciates feminine beauty and sees little reason why it should not be complimented. It is the polite thing to do when meeting a beautiful lady!

Only when Makoto is around does it seem like that might be a bad idea.]

Ja, there was nothing too badly damaged that it could not be salvaged.

[Except for their relationship? Or was that still... ]

I am a little surprised to hear from you again. I had thought...

[Well... ]

... that you might not want to hear from me again.

[Chloe can get right to the point sometimes. ]
