[When Shang enters the fortune-teller's den, he finds a diminutive figure in a mask, shuffling a deck of cards. Fortune looks up a moment later, and speaks in a high, clear voice.]
[When Shang Qinghua enters the parlor, he'll find...well. He'll find a masked figure silently picking up crushed rose petals off of the piano :(
There's a table set with tea and little snacks which was what Beauty had originally prepared, but the piano's been forsaken by someone and they're Not Thrilled. The rose Shang Qinghua left, however, is in a crystal vase on the table.]
Welcome, Qinghua-san. [The tone is still polite and clear even if Beauty's fussing over the piano.] Please have a seat.
[Much like their meeting at the beginning of the week, Piety sits in his chair in the Private Study. He inclines his head once again at Shang's arrival.]
I'm sorry that we didn't have more time to get to know each other.
[You know what's more awkward than the note that he wrote for the offering? When Shang Qinghua enters the Parlor, he's basically ambushed. All at once, there's an arm around his shoulder and Indulgence is hanging off of him.]
Hey there, pal! Just the guy I was hoping to see. Why don't you take a load off? Oh, and no hard feelings about the whole octopus debacle, right? I didn't think so. What's your pleasure? Water, tea, juice, booze, coffee? Something to keep you awake for days? Something to make you forget? Something to help you sleep? You want it, you name it, I got it. Sit! Sit!
[She already chased after him with weapons a few times
Okay no it was more like hand to hand combat and practice dodging, but. right now? right now it's relaxation time in the beauty salon. The first thing he'll notice is that her mask is off, sitting on the table next to a bowl of... some kind of goop. She's leaning back in a chair, relaxing, a skin treatment mask of that same goop on her face and her long blonde hair pulled up into a high ponytail.
She waves a hand at him when she hears his footsteps.]
Sit down and help yourself. Today is skincare day.
[Hello, SQH! Ion is in the chapel, enjoying the very last day of his wing. He has the sunflower that was sent to him held in his hands, and smiles widely.]
It's so good to see you again! Welcome! Please, tell me how you've been?
