Books, Books, and You Guessed It, More Books: Coven Library (OPEN)

[To some, doing research is far from relaxing. But in the case of the woman curled up in a chair in the corner of some far section, books are a relaxing matter. With the stress for the past couple of moons mostly gone, Mira can get back to work on researching and reading up on new schools of magic. While she does enjoy her alchemy and offensive magics, she needs to focus more on the school she has taken some smaller looks in but important for some: Illusions.

Now she isn't the type to like to hide herself but she can see the benefits for it. That and ponder how to combine this art with the other magics already learned. Mira likes a challenge and as long as she's not overworking her body, it should be fine. But she may have grabbed a few more books than expected. Did you need that book on Illusions? She may have it so it wouldn't be harmful to ask about it.]


What Is Shopping For Yourself?: Shopping District (OPEN)

[Shopping for Mira usually consists of getting either potion ingredients or food and sundries for the house. When it comes to herself, anything outside of the essentials is rather off limits for her. Blame her own upbringing but Mira didn't mind it. She didn't pay much attention to clothing and fashion; her idea of fashion is 'is it comfortable and if it is sturdy enough for more grueling activities.

She can't wear her armor everywhere after all.

But it's one store that Mira can't help but stop and look through the window, noticing the clothing inside. There's a variety between trousers and suits and even dresses and skirts. And they certainly look comfortable to walk around in...]

Wait, what am I doing? I shouldn't even think about it.

[Yeah, poor person guilt here. Hard to get rid of.]


If All Else Fails...Tea: DiplomaTea (OPEN)

[Libraries are not good for wanting to eat or drink since it may hurt the books. But thankfully, Mira remembers the shop where the Valentione's celebration was held and she was in the mood for some good tea. With her nose in a book, she is also going to be trying some teas.

And by trying, we mean order several different blends at once and the table having several cups. What? She's adventerous. Mild flavor? Crazy flavor? She's trying it. Don't question it...or maybe you should.]

Oh...what is this I'm tasting?

[Definitely ask.]


To Feel The Warmth Of Another: House Darkness (Closed to Housemates)

[Emotions have been tough to deal with lately. She gets that with the conversations between those she knows and the past events. But oddly enough, she gets an idea and honestly does not know where it will lead. However, they will notice the extra pillows and blankets somehow going missing if they need one.

But in reality, they're all in the living area as Mira is arranging them in some odd way with any tables or chairs pushed off to the side. Girl, what are you doing?]


Wildcard

[Got another idea not listed? Hit me up!]

shopping district

[integrous]

[ It's not that rare to walk through the shopping district and spot someone you know wandering around there as well. So at first Asahi doesn't think much of it when she spots Mira around. She's actually just about to walk on regularly until she overhears the other saying that.

And that draws the girl's attention just enough to stop and instead make her way through the crowd until she's over next to Mira. ]

You shouldn't think about what?

[ Maybe at least pretend to be polite and act like you weren't eavesdropping, Asahi!! ]

[inlikethebrume]

Oh!

[Man, she should really watch for anyone around. Or keep her thoughts to herself.]

'Twas nothing important, simply speaking to myself. How have you been?

[integrous]

Hm?

[ Asahi looks slightly confused about the other dropping the topic so quickly. She can't help but be curious whether she overheard something she shouldn't have.. But it feels weird to just straight up grill the other about it when she likes Mira just fine, so she tries to shove the thought to the back of her mind for now. ]

Oh.. I've been alright. [ She smiles, and it grows a little wider into a grin when her tone takes on a jokey edge. ] I guess I somehow managed to survive without getting kissed at that festival we last spoke at.

[inlikethebrume]

[It's more habit than anything else. All on Mira instead of her.]

Oh really? Not even one from your Bonded then?

[Not everyone can dip their Bonded at their booth for a smooch. But with how Mira's tone is lighter, she understood the joke.]

[integrous]

[ She trapped herself with that joke, huh? Her face grows the same shade of red as her hair in an instant. ]

W.. What? N-No, you have the wrong idea! Momiji and I aren't like that! [ They still totally hug and act super clingy though. That much she can deal with. But kissing is a whole level beyond that. ]

[inlikethebrume]

[That in turn makes Mira giggle and grin. Sometimes Bonded just be like that! As long as the trust is there, that's all that's needed. No one needs to go deeper than friendship if they don't want to.]

No need to worry, 'twas only a jest on my part.

[integrous]

Geez...

[ Asahi still looks embarrassed, but she lets out a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She does know other Bonded are like that, but that just makes it even more embarrassing when she thinks of how many people might assume there's something going on between her and Momiji too..

Better to try and get her mind off that by focusing on something else. ]

.. so.. were you looking at the clothes here?

[unsundered]

[Emet-Selch had been feeling increasingly tired, as of late.

At first, he'd written it off as part of his healing. The injuries he'd sustained during captivity had been extensive, and still weren't completely well. And then, he'd assumed he'd simply caught the edge of whatever illness Mira had been suffering from; he'd certainly been around her enough to pick up something of it.

But this persisted. And rather than getting better, it was getting worse. On the plus side, he was finding it easier to drop off to sleep, even when alone- which he'd been having problems with, after the kidnapping. On the (very large) minus side, he'd started falling asleep even when he had no intention of it. Getting enough hours during the night tended to stave off the worst of it, but occasionally he misjudged.

Fortunately, he was back at the house this time. Coming inside, he stares at... whatever the hell was going on here. Even as he approaches the collection of pillows to try and figure out why they were there, and why all the furniture was rearranged, he can feel that spike in lethargy, in weakness, a darkness looming just behind his eyes. It's all he can do to make it to those pillows and blankets before collapsing, curled half upon his side, completely unconscious.

He doesn't appear unwell, at least, only asleep. And extremely difficult to rouse, when he's like this, so hopefully he's not too much in the way of anything.]

Emet why (also spoilers)

[inlikethebrume]

[It was only five minutes from the hall closet to the living room and Mira is grabbing the rest of the blankets. She is about to arrange them but seeing a large body occupying the space is a bit of a concern. Moreso when it is the one man who has a habit of sleeping constantly. How...? Why?]

And now I know a way to lure someone in. Good to know for the future.

[She shrugs as she gets on her knees and crawls towards the ascian instead of trying to wake him up like a normal person. You know, by yelling for them to wake their arse up. But Mira may have another way...by leaning in and kissing his cheek.]

You may need some more blankets if you wish to sleep here, Hades.

because nap

[unsundered]

[Most strays you lure in with food; with Ascians (or at least this particular Ascian) it's a nest for naps. Sorry Mira, gentleness and affection isn't enough to wake him up; when he falls asleep these days, he falls hard.

He does shift just slightly, though, making a sound that's reminiscent of a faint sigh; coincidence, or a result of that kiss? It's hard to tell.... Though in any case, 'not having enough blankets' doesn't seem to be be a deterrent, you might just have to work around him for the time being. Or roll him out of the way, if necessary.]

Nap later!

[inlikethebrume]

[That's strange. Wouldn't physical contact be enough to wake him up? Or maybe he is just more tired...how did Ascians handle being in one form for so long? Mira makes a noise at lack of reaction (a small one) and she wants to try and move him if his slumber is that deep.]

I know this is what I had planned but I still need to get everything set up.

[And he also happens to be heavy, knowing full well knowing that weight on multiple occasions.]

I wonder if I can work around him...

[Said to no one in particular but Mira does continue to do her business; getting the pillows set up so everyone would be comfortable including slipping one under Hades's head. And then she had to try and lift him up to scoot the blankets in. Just like moving a big fat cat except less squish.]

...hells, he really is tired...

[She would test it out but this is the living room.]

no

[unsundered]

[Test out what, Mira.

And much like a cat, Emet-Selch makes no attempt to move out of the way or make Mira's job of slipping blankets underneath him any easier. Though in his case it is due to unconsciousness rather than indifference. There is some small murmuring on his part from being shifted, getting his own pillow- but it stops as soon as the contact stops.

Whenever he wakes up, he might have some small appreciation for these attempts towards his comfort, but right now all he does is curl up a little bit more.]

yes

[inlikethebrume]

[But unlike Breezy, who Mira can just lift up, she cannot do it to her Bonded. Unless it's Irhya in bat form. Watching the ascian curl around himself, the dark knight can't help but wonder what exactly is the cause of this deep sleep. Surely, it is only because of exhaustion? Mira can't help but put her inner wrist on his forehead, not feeling any kind of sign of sickness.]

Perhaps you are just that tired.

[There's a moment when she can't help but give their tether a gentle stroke before she slowly stands up and turns around to grab a few books. Not to mention start up water for tea. Speaking of cats, the gaelkitten waddles in the room and seeing the tall sleeping one makes her want to take a nap as well. While there are plenty of pillows, nothing beats making one's self into a loaf and resting on the best part of a mortal. In this case, the Ascian's face. Just like all cats it seems. Meanwhile, Mira has no idea this is happening and hopefully it won't be so bad.]

Shopping District

[wylderrant]

[ Iramaat is enjoying her time out and about again, especially after last month. She's still feeling... down, but that can't be helped can it? She's passing by when she hears the little exclamation and she pauses and backtracks slightly to get a better look.

Huh.

She can put two and two together here. ]

Why not?

[ She interjects herself as smoothly as she can. ]

Isn't it a good thing to give yourself a gift now and again?

[inlikethebrume]

[Ok, next time only mention the thing to herself. In her head. Because strangers asking her this is awkward as hell.]

Oh no, I'm fine. It is something I do not need.

[Need and want are different beasts but still...]

[wylderrant]

[ Iramaat taps her chin, apparently in thought. ]

But you are considering it, aren't you? Why not at least try something on? Just in case.

[ Iramaat likes helping people. Or "helping". ]

[inlikethebrume]

Why though?

[Don't you try something on with the intent to buy?]

[wylderrant]

Why not? Is there a reason not to?

[ Iramaat shrugs. This is just how she be. ]

[inlikethebrume]

A few. But I am rather interested in why you believe I should.

[Yes, why is a stranger suddenly interested in her dumb thoughts?]

Waaarmth

[darkcharge]

[ Yeah. Some of his extra stuff is missing. Look, he needs that for when Sora thinks to stay the night. So Van is out and about, looking for them. He's... Been pretty distracted himself as of late too. Yes, he doesn't have to figure everything out all at once, but recent events? That's enough right there for someone like Vanitas who isn't used to such emotions and... Well confessions? Admitting to what those emotions mean?

Either way, coming to face truths can be exhausting.


He stops short when he sees Mira arranging everything just so. He looks at it all, so confused. ]

Uh... Mira?

[ What's going on here? ]

[inlikethebrume]

[It's not the frantic workings that he's used to but if he's wondering where those extra blankets and pillows went, look no further than where she's standing.]

Oh, hello! Does this look alright?

[Mira, he doesn't know what the fuck you're doing.]

[darkcharge]

I don't know what I'm looking at...

[ Maybe try to explain it first? Then he can actually judge whether or not it looks right? ]

[inlikethebrume]

I suppose...it is simply a large space where we could all relax and rest in. It seems like a good idea.

[In other words: Mira did this on impulse and is playing it by ear.]

[darkcharge]

[ Can't really argue the whole "rest and relax" part. They all probably need it. ]

That's a lot of space for one person.

[ The "group" aspect is lost on him. ]

[inlikethebrume]

That's because it is not just for one but everyone.

[Might as well say it.]

But only if you want to.
