Who: Everybody
When: Day 19, afternoon
Where: Everywhere.

[Well. Some of us may have had entirely too exciting a morning, but this afternoon, anyone going through the train will find tables set up with piles of flower crowns on them and signs reading 'decorative bond, please take one'. There's a preposterous amount of them, more than enough for everyone on the train to have their own flower crown.

There are also baskets of flowers set out in the lounge, and instructions for making your own crown, if none of them suit your fancy. This is clearly harmless stress relief, Aurora, go for it.]

Then we have an accord.

That we do! And now for a more important question-- how long were you thinking of that lei joke?

Maybe half an hour? It occurred to me when I found the plumeria, since they're common in them.

Which flower is that?

That one, here.

[She points to some white flowers that are blue at the tips.]

They come in a lot of colors, but I mostly found these.

I see.... Not bad, not bad at all.

[ He approves of the blue. ]

You're so easy to please.

[ He laughs at that. ]

I like to think so, anyway!

Must be nice, for whoever the mystery lady--[She pauses. Considers Crow a second.] Mystery partners are.

Where's your mind going?

[ He asks the question in a mock-innocent tone, but he slides into something decidedly more wicked for the follow-up. ]

I haven't had any complaints!

You're not picky, I shouldn't limit it to 'ladies'.

[Snort. Shrugging.]

I'm really not. But I hadn't expected you to go straight for the gutter with "easy to please." I'm impressed!

You'd prefer it to the other observations I can make.

['I'm fairly certain you're only easygoing on the outside to keep people from thinking too hard about it.']

[ Do Not? ]

It's okay, I already know I'm not your type. You're not gonna break my heart.

Can't break the heart of an easy rider, Crow.

[which is a politer word for manwhore then is really necessary.]

Ouch, that's harsh!

[ It might be more convincing if he weren't laughing while saying that. ]

You don't like me because I'm gentle, Crow.

See, now that just sounds kinky.

You'll never know the truth, so you'll just have to wonder.

[She will never let him find out how much of a stupid sweet sub she is. Never. Never.]

I could always try talking to Lu~cien~

You think he'll tell you?

[SHE WILL END YOU BOTH.]

Depends. How much do you trust him and how likely do you think I am to figure it out from innocent statements?

...

[She has to contemplate this now. It's worrisome.]

Honestly I just don't think he knows you well enough to tell you?

Then you probably don't have anything to worry about. Maybe.

Oh, no, that just means you'll play the long con.
