♐ 006 // [Action | Filtered to Casey]

[crisisrain]

[Love, love, love love love, love love, love love... that's all that's being thrown across the journals today. Raven recalled some weird blue guy mentioning Valentine's Day back during that perv fest. So at first he just thought that he'd just ignore it, but he thought of all the gorgeous women in Luceti... then he thought of her... and it went all downhill from that point onwards.  As much as Raven enjoys flirting with women, if this is a ~*special day of true love*~ then he should probably go and see the one woman he does genuinely care for. No matter how much he tried to talk himself out of it, he knew he'd regret it if he didn't.

He fumbled around his room for a while, thinking of what to take her as a gift. Seeing as Luceti doesn't have her favourite type of flower, and he didn't want to make it look like he was trying to flirt, he decided on something quite sneaky instead. Not a gift in the sense of "here have a present on Valentine's Day!" but something more subtle.

So here he is knocking on her door, hoping a certain douchebag isn't home.]

[OOC: They're both unaffected by this event too! Hooray, we're awful people.]

[she opens her mouth to raise more questions, but instead she stops herself and just looks down at the bow. of course she would never think that the girl in question was her.]

I apologize.

[she then holds the bow back out to him.] This must mean a lot to you, then. While it's true I was once its owner, I could never take away anything that could have a great significance to you.

[crisisrain]

[He looks at it, but doesn't take it back from her.]

Keep it.

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[looks at him.] Are you sure?

[crisisrain]

It never belonged ta me to begin with. If I can give it back to it's original owner, then that's a good thing!

Besides. [He points to the bows in the room.] Not like ya've been havin' much luck.

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[she glances at the bows and lets out a small sigh and half smile.]

I suppose you're right. [she brings the bow closer, and while she wasn't trying to to show it, it was clear on her face that she was actually quite happy to have her bow again. in a world filled with strangers, the bow brought a sense of peace and security for the young knight.]

Thank you, Raven.

[crisisrain]

I didn't say ya could keep it without a condition.

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

A condition? [...well she supposed it was only reasonable. even if it was her bow, he had been holding onto it.]

What is it?

[crisisrain]

I'll think of somethin' later on. There's no rush! [He passes her a wink. GIVE US A KISS \(≧ω≦)/]

The lass who owned that bow meant a lot ta me, so take care of it, OK?

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[sure. a fist right to the kisser.]

All right. [she was a bit curious as to who this person was, but it was more of an idle curiosity. digging into one's business wasn't really her thing.

however, a thought does occur to her.] This wasn't the reason why you stopped by, was it?

[crisisrain]

[That took him by surprise. He didn't actually come here for any reason other than to see her on Valentine's Day. The bow was just insurance incase Alexei was in...

What excuse did he use before?]

I told ya already! I came ta keep ya company. [He pauses, an idea strikes!]

Oh, I got it! That condition! How about ya pay by back fer the bow by hangin' out with me this Saturday? We'll have fun, promise! Maybe we can go practice our archery together?

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[she's still giving him a bit of a look at the "keep her company" bit. really, what was he thinking? they've only talked twice.

but at his "condition", she blinks.]

"Hang out" with you Saturday? [she muses a bit.] Hm...I suppose that's fair. You did mention that you also used the bow, and I'm a bit curious as to your skills.

[crisisrain]

Heh, I was hopin' ya'd be up fer a challenge. A duel sounds so... forceful, I like ta think of it a friendly sparrin' session.

[He could never beat her back when he was younger, but with 10 years of experience, he can't resist wanting to try it out. That is... aside from the fact a love event takes place on that day and he doesn't know so that's some sorta hindsight he has.]

I'm not gonna go easy on ya.

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[grins.]

If you did, I would feel offended. But I accept your proposal.

[crisisrain]

Ya make it sound like we're gettin' married...

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Like we're—!? Stop saying such ridiculous things.

[crisisrain]

You started it.

[He continues to move further into the apartment, taking in the surroundings, making himself at home. While he's here he might as well see if Alexei has that false Dein Nomoso with him...

Not that he's going to start going through drawers or anything.]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[and she's immediately following him.]

I certainly did not. You're the one who misconstrued my words.

[crisisrain]

Ya should choose yer words a little better then! Today's a day of love, it's all people have been talkin' about over the journals. Of course I'm gonna think of marriage when ya say propose!

[He's just being an ass as he inspects the doors, wondering which one is her room.]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[she just doesn't respond.

instead she stands in front of her door, arms crossed, and a bit of a glare directed toward the old man.]

Or perhaps you should get your mind out of the gutter and think more like a sensible person would.

[crisisrain]

If ya think talkin' about marriage is havin' my mind in the gutter, then I think ya should double check. Marriage isn't anythin' perverted at all, it's something that bonds two people together. It's a pretty thing!

[He looks back towards her, she doesn't look amused. Probably a bad idea to go raiding their apartment right now... He'll make a mental note to do that later.]

Are ya always this angry?

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[yes, that would be a bad idea. she has her bow. she is not afraid to use it, stranger/friend/foe/something or not.

she stares at him for one moment, ready to retort, but she remembers he was the one who gave her her bow back. so with thought in mind, she relents a bit—though she still thinks him a foolish pervert old man.]

Not usually. There must be something about you. [a look as she walks past him.] And I don't mean that in a good way, Raven.

[crisisrain]

Oh, I'm hurt! [There seems to be a incredibly sarcastic tone in his voice. But it quickly relaxes back to it's normal teasing after a short glare towards her.]

Don't judge a book by it's cover. I'm sure I'm not the only perverted guy you've ever met.

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately.

[crisisrain]

Ya really need to lighten up a little. You got yer bow back, doesn't hurt ta show some happiness!

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[she begins to speak, as if to retort, but once again she finds herself stopping herself. for some reason, this man seemed to do that to her a lot. it was rather...strange to say the least.

but she does smile a bit.] I suppose you're right.

[—ah.] Also, I apologize for being a poor host. Is there anything you'd like? Something to drink, perhaps?
