Special Company (1 Point)
(sweet or spicy)

[Today is a very special day for several reasons. So Nazuna has spared no expense in getting dressed up. Despite the grand details, he moves with a very practiced grace; never once stepping on or ruffling the delicate fabrics. He intends to use it for his performance later, so he has to treat it with care. He has to say that he likes this mix of traditional and frivolous– cuteness and beauty. He’s hoping that the guests who come to visit the Palace of Sai will appreciate it just as much.

This kind of atmosphere is cloyingly sweet, the kind that might get into your head. It’s all about indulgence here and today Nazuna has become one of many consorts prepared to help people do just that. Like several other Tamamo Clan members, Nazuna’s time can easily be bought– whether you’re looking for someone to keep you company while you enjoy the exquisite and quite costly drinks. He’s happy to make sure guests remember to eat something too. Feeding someone is something he can do without even batting an eyelash.

If they have more salacious thoughts on their mind, he won’t refuse the company. Since he’s theirs for the time being, he’ll do his part to be the ideal partner; whether it’s someone cute and obedient or someone more willful and forceful.]

Ahhh the stars feel so close. On a night like tonight… any encounter could be a fateful encounter~♡

Wish-Filled Performance (1 Point)

[Those who are interested in the more artistic pleasures of the evening will be treated to a variety of performances on the stage throughout the night. And while it did require a bit of tweaking, Nazuna feels pretty fortunate to have the perfect song for tonight already in his repertoire as an idol. It would have been a bit much to do as a solo but since Robin seemed interested in Ra*bits cute style, he was able to make it into a pretty impressive duet.

Prior to the performance, the edges of the stage were lined with various flower displays; bright and vibrant colors mixed like fireworks. The displays have been neatly created to advertise for Aerith’s new flower shop.

As for the performance itself– it goes off splendidly, Robin and Nazuna putting on their very best heart-felt performance of a cute and catchy song about the holiday itself.

After the performance, Nazuna sticks around to greet his new fans; handing out flowers to anyone who’s still lingering near the stage with a wink.]

Thanks for coming to see our show! Since we’re meeting today of all days I’ll be sure to remember you from here on out~♪

Tanabata (2 Points)

[But even hard working rabbits have to take a break sometime. For him, it’s near the end of the night. The display of stars is nothing short of breathtaking. But there’s also a sort of melancholy in it. It’s a far more beautiful sight… and even the results he received were better…

But even so, if he had to pick… he would have rather been able to meet the people he loved.

That thought is allowed to stick for all of half a second before he’s shaking his head back and forth emphatically, like he’s trying to make it fly right out of his head. He slaps his cheeks and turns his head to the bamboo trees covered in colorful talismans.]

Wow~ There are so many wishes. I hope someone is able to answer them, even if I can’t.

Comments

[bunnii]

Ahahaha—!! Sorry, sorry~

[Although he doesn’t sound particularly sorry about teasing— he is, however, sorry that being put to this particular task was probably worrying Lark if he came here to see him now.]

But I’m really happy Hiba-chin came to see me. Since there are people I can’t meet right now… I’m really glad for the ones I do have.

[inspiteful]

[ ...Somehow, this feels more embarrassing than he ever expected it to be. ]

Your important people back home, right? ...I wouldn't be so worried if you weren't doing this kind of work.

[ Not so much because of the said nature of this work—somewhere in the back of his head he remembers his sisters and mother—but because it's Nazuna doing it, specifically. ]

[bunnii]

Mmm~ if it’s a day for meeting the ones you love I would have liked to be able to treat the other members of Ra*bits to dinner. It would be nice if Kagehira would come with us this time… I’m not sure it would be possible to drag Oshi-san with us since he’s probably still in France right now, but it would be nice…

[Nazuna shakes his head, a bittersweet smile on his face.]

But since I can’t, I at least want to surround myself with good company~

[If he acts like there’s nothing to be worried about, maybe Lark will realize it’s fine. Sure he looks small but he’s a reliable older brother—! There’s no reason to worry.]

Your nii-chan can take care of himself.

[inspiteful]

[ Ah, so he'd getting some names now. Things to file away, just in case they become relevant. ]

Some people'd probably say I'm not that good of company.

[ ...He might just be feeling grumpy, given how there aren't really people he recognises here. ]

You wouldn't let them have their way with you?

[bunnii]

I’ll be the judge of that.

[Nazuna dared anyone to try and say anything bad about Lark to him. But he doesn’t have long to think about that because…]

Have their— pffft!

[He really didn’t mean to laugh but somehow he wasn’t expecting Lark to come out with that. He knows it’s a sincere concern, so he does want to take it seriously. But…]

You know… I am a nineteen year old guy… Maybe I want to have my way with them instead~

[inspiteful]

[ Please hold while he chokes on air. He doesn't know what sort of answer he was expecting from Nazuna but it certainly wasn't that. ]

Wh-wha—that's—I mean sure you can do that, I guess, but that's not what I meant!

[bunnii]

[That might have been a little mean. But what else was he supposed to think it meant? Or perhaps he was trying pointedly to ignore what it could mean; not wanting to think there might be some reason Lark would feel the need to worry over him.]

Then what did you mean?

[inspiteful]

I mean...what if someone tries to force you to do something you don't want to do?

[ He doesn't know what sort of protocol the Tamamo clan might have for that, and regardless, he isn't sure if Nazuna would actually assert himself should someone try to do that. He seems more like the type to shut down his feelings in, the name of service. ]

[bunnii]

Mmm… I guess it would depend on what it was.

[At least he seems to take the question seriously, even if his answer is a bit wishy-washy.]

I might be small, but I’m not afraid to bite if I gotta. […] Of course I’d rather not have to, but you can’t be too sure when there’s so much going on.

[inspiteful]

[ Oh good, at least he's trying to answer him. Skylark isn't going to dwell on imagining any of it though, because that's a place he doesn't want to wander off to. ]

Promise me you won't let anyone do anything you don't want or like to you.

[bunnii]

...do I really give off that kind of impression?

[Although he's not sure he wants to hear the answer to that seriously. Avoiding the topic altogether isn't an option-- and he does want Lark to feel like he can talk to him... even about the difficult things. So--]

If it's a matter of pleasing someone or disappointing them... of course you'd rather make them happy, right? If it's something you don't feel one way or the other about yourself, at least you can make someone else happy. That sort of thing... I'm pretty guilty of that.

[That said...]

I won't say I always remember to treat myself the same way I treat others... but I have people and things that are important to me now-- that I don't want to risk losing. So-- I'm not going to be reckless with the life I have now. It's too important to me.

[inspiteful]

A litle bit.

[ Because as Nazuna said, sometimes he doesn't remember to treat himself the way he treats others. But after hearing Nazuna talk, he seems to accept it for the time being. ]

... Alright.

[bunnii]

[Sure he could keep ignoring it but-- well, wasn't that exactly the sort of thing that got him in trouble in the first place?]

...it's about that stupid title they gave me, isn't it?

[inspiteful]

[ There's a pause, because he doesn't really want to admit to it. ]

...Yeah.

[bunnii]

[Nazuna also has to think a bit, because this isn't exactly a "nice" or "easy" topic. But that's why he also can't just slap a bandaid over it and pretend it's not an issue either.]

...hey Lark.

[.......]

There are things you'd do for your best friend that you wouldn't do for anyone else-- right?

[inspiteful]

[ This is the first time Nazuna's properly called him by name, so that gets his attention. ]

Of course. [ He answers immediately. ]

[bunnii]

Well, I have someone like that too.

[Even he's a little surprised he can say it so easily in the present tense. Maybe it was the distance between them right now or the fact that his situation now was so fraught and so far removed from his normal everyday life.]

Someone who looked at me and saw value in me when I couldn't. Someone who gave me a place to belong when I didn't know where I wanted to go.

I would have done anything for him. [...] There's a lot I would still do for him. More than most.

I'm not a "doll" anymore. But if anyone's gonna call me that, then they could at least get it right. I was Oshi-san's doll and not anyone else's.

[inspiteful]

[ ...In a sense, Nazuna and this Oshii-san's roles are reversed from him and Crane, huh. ]

Oshii-san's doll, huh...

[ Phrasing. ]

[bunnii]

[You know. Hearing it back... it's actually pretty embarrassing. Really embarrassing actually.]

Aaaaahh--! I haven't said anything that embarrassing in a long time. A-anyway, that's the point. It's not the same if it's anyone else, right?

So you don't have to worry as much, okay?

[inspiteful]

Oshii-san really is important to you.

...But okay. I believe in you.

[bunnii]

...we've been through a lot together. Itsuki is... yeah. He'll always be important to me.

[But that sure is enough of that topic! Whew~!!]

But wow-- all that training must have fallen right out of my head! Here I am going on about other people when you were nice enough to keep me company~ You're not old enough yet to enjoy the real good stuff yet, but I know some good alternatives. If you tell me what kind of food you like I can make some good recommendations too~!

[inspiteful]

[ Skylark almost wants to say "phrasing" again because man that sure could be taken the wrong way if Nazuna hadn't basically changed topics. ]

Hmm...I want something savoury.

[bunnii]

Mmmm... then let's enjoy some sukiyaki together~

[inspiteful]

[ He perks up when he hears "sukiyaki", having seen some of those restaurants around. Meat... ]

Yes, let's.

[bunnii]

Wonderful~! Come on, I know a great spot!

[Linking his arm with Lark's, he gives him a gentle tug towards a table with a nice view. With the way the tables are spaced out, it's nice and quiet too.]
