Let the sunshine in!

[Guest]

Cedric smiled to Eien and left the room, hoping to be followed by him "Come on!" he couraged.
He walked through the corridors until he reached the outdoors, letting the sun bath his face, beautiful day. As they got to the gardens, he was simply amazed by the amount of green and flowers there was "Amazing! There are indeed every type of flower or herb here!" he gasped, adjusting his glasses.

[Guest]

Eien followed his roommate enthusiastically.

He agreed with Cedric's opinion about the Garden. "Haha, I thought only the girls come to play here because of the flowers. But now, I think it's good for the boys, too!"

He walked towards a group of flowers to inspect it closely. "They've really got the most beautiful colours and smell. ...I hope there's nothing poisonous...," he mumbled. Eien can't resist picking some of the flowers for fun. The small ones clumped together will make a cute decoration.

[Guest]

"No, that's wrong!" Cedric said has he talked that the garden was only for girls. "Men should appreciate a flower so they can give the right one to a lady." he explained with a smile, following Eien.

"Making a boquet?" he asked as he saw Eien picking up some flowers "For your muse?"

[Guest]

He really needed to put some life into his room now. Augustin just stepped out from the main building. His room juust looked like a battlefield. Which happened in the library. Quite strange incident.

So he decided to got some lily from the garden, when he heard a voice.

"Who's muse?" Augustin asked, hearinng just the last line. He stepped closer.

[Guest]

"Huh? Is there even a 'right' and 'wrong' flower? I thought it was fine as long as they look good...," Eien rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

When Cedric asked him the question, he started panicking again, waving his hands in front of him, "N-NO!! It's nothing like that!" The Lampad flushed, feeling a bit embarrassed. Then Augustin came and asked another question.

'Hell no!' He thought to himself as he tried to stop blushing.

[Guest]

"Well, flowers have meanings... and most of girls know them" at least, the ones in my homeland, he thought with a proud smile, disguising his sad smile. He had left her behind... but maybe it was for the best.

Cedric snapped out of it as he heard another voice, a familiar one and turned around to see Augustin. "Oh, Hello Augustin... Good day isn't it?" he asked, now with a true smile.

[Guest]

"...Meanings, huh?"

Eien wondered. Another thing in which meanings are important. He was rather amused by how many messages life conceals behind the curtain of appearance--from simple things like flowers, to the bigger things such as his own identity and the meaning of life itself. He's so sure that a completely new and different world would be revealed once you managed to lift that curtain.

Well, knowing the meanings of the flowers means a step closer to the 'truth'. He wouldn't want to send the wrong message to her.
Besides, Cedric seems like he's in a good mood, a proud smile beaming on his face (although something felt off). It's a good time to ask.

Then Augustin came...

[Guest]

"Yeah, we seem to have a good weather" Augustin smiled to Cedric, but he was confused. It seemed, that he just stepped into a conversation about someone, that Eien likes. And he totally understood why the lampad sisn't wanted to talk about it.

"Look, Eien..." he started "I understand if you wound't tell me. But even if you doni't name her, i could help you, thought it would be easier." When he saw that he didn't said enought, he added: "You know, i have books about flowers too" he smiled.

[Guest]

"That's really nice of you, August! ...But I think I wanna keep it secret for now. That book might help a lot, though, if I may borrow it. Ced can tell me the rest about manners!" Eien grinned again, thinking about the things he lacks.

[Guest]

Seeing that Augustin knew what they were talking about, Cedric chuckledl lightly and agreed with Eien. "I can give two or three lessons on good manners. Not that you lack them a lot!" he laughed and sighed. "What about Augustin? Do you have any ladies in mind?" he asked, thinking if he wasn't being too nosy.

[Guest]

Andrasteia was just wandering around the gardens, enjoying her time outside among the flowers. She still needed to talk to Mnemosyne about possibly getting a corner of this to take care of herself, and still hadn't gotten around to it....she heard voices, and hoped she wasn't interrupting anything as she rounded a corner and came on Augustin, Eien, and someone she'd seen around but hadn't actually met.

"Hello everyone," she said cheerfully, giving them a smile. "I hope I'm not interrupting...?"

[Guest]

"Oh, tell me about it, Ced! I think you have too much of 'manners'," Eien laughed, remembering their first encounter as roommates.

"Do tell, August. ...In that case, I don't mind telling mine. Then, Ced will have to tell about his lady," Eien joked, giving his roommate a nudge.

Then he saw Andras coming, greeting them warmly. He greeted back, waving both his arms rather childishly, "Hello, Andras! Isn't this a beautiful morning?"

[Guest]

Augustin looked at Eien. "I would say that Cedric should tell first, then" he smiled. "But answering our question, no, not really." he said slowly "You know, I think for love you really need someone who loves you back and..." he didn't finished, when he noticed Andras coming.

He send her a greeting look.

[Guest]

"Wait what? What lady? What are you two talking about?" he said, with a small blush, quite clueless. He nodded to Augustin but before he could sai anything, another girl came in and gretted them. He bowed and smiled warmly.

"Well, hello m'lady. Nice to meet you, I'm Cedric Oswald, student of Hermes." he introduced himself.

[Guest]

"Oh yes, gorgeous. I love it out here. I think that the garden's my favorite spot in the Athenaeum," she said, smiling, glad that she didn't seem to be interrupting if everyone was so friendly.

"Hello Cedric. My name's Andrasteia, I'm a lampad sponsored by Hades." Andras wondered what the 'm'lady' was about. Maybe it was a human thing...?

[Guest]

"Aww, c'mon, Ced. You can't stay here for four long years and say that you don't have someone you like. It's impossible," Eien grinned mischievously.

He was also quite intrigued by Augustin's words. And Andras seemed to enjoy being in the garden, so he smiled at her.

"Have one of these," he said, giving her one of the small red flowers he had picked previously, "I found them rather cute!"

((Ced, this Topic had an awesome title XDDD!!))

[Guest]

((Thanks xD It was what I had in mind at the time xD))

"Nice to meet you, Mis- I mean, Andrasteia." he corrected himself, trying to get used to talk to every warrior in a more informal way. "Another lampad? You sure are a mysterious race, if that's the right term." he said, blinking his eyes and then turning to Eien.

"If I spent my 18 years alone, I can wait another four. It's not that a priority." even though... he shook his head and turned to what Andrasteia had said about the gardens. "This is indeed a really pleasant place. I like it." he smiled.

[Guest]

"Oh, Ced!" Eien started again, "You must be kidding me, right? I don't believe if you're this polite and you're still alone."

"C'mon! Pick some flowers and give them to the ladies," the Lampad said, giving him the whole 'bouquet' that he's holding, "They'll faint!"

He laughed and ran down the garden path, looking for more exotic flowers to pick.

[Guest]

(Keep this post alive XD)

Kammy poked her head inside the the garden, most of the students there where older and only one was from Hermes. What ever they where talking about ,she wanted to know, but was too shy to ask. Instead she sneaked into the garden, hoping to get close and listen to them.

[Guest]

Eien caught a glance of pink hair and stopped running. Oh my, is that Kamoa?! No, no, she can't be here--but that pink hair's unmistakably--and that unusual eye colour--but why here and now of all places?! When Augustin and Ced are here?

She's a little smaller than he thought, though--like it's Kamoa, but not Kamoa--at the same time...

[Guest]

Kammy hid behind a big rose bush, she crawled on all fours and looked at students. "Uh-oh!" She noticed the red one looking at her direction. Did she get caught?Should she run or come out? Kammy had no idea what to do,she didn't expect to be caught this quick.

[Guest]

What? Where did she disappear to? Did she just run into that bush?

...

Rose bush...

Eien gaped and wondered if she knows what she's doing. It's a big rose bush--most likely with equally big thorns! Kamoa or not, he'd better go there and see.

[Guest]

Kammy felt a pain on her knee. She looked down and noticed she was sitting one of the bushes vine the had a thorn. "Ah darn it!!" Shouting she stood up and tries to get the vine off her dress. Not only was it hurting her but it was making a hole on her dress.

"Ow!!" She yelping placing her finger on her mouth, failed to pull off the vine with her hand. Kammy wasn't facing the boys anymore.

[Guest]

Now he's pretty sure it's Kamoa. Perhaps the girl being slightly smaller was just his imagination. He rushed there shouting with concern.

"Miss Kamoa! Are you alright?!"

[Guest]

'Kamoa!!Don't call me by that name!!'

Kammy turned around with her finger still on her mouth "If nom Moa!!" With her other hand she was still trying to pull out the vine off her dress.

*Im not Kamoa!!
