16th Screw [Action]

[Action; Ichiban Market; Virgo District]

[Today, Nano can be found shopping around for discounted chocolate, marked down after Valentine's Day. She had already made and delivered plenty of obligation chocolate for her various friends in the days leading up to the love hotel event, so it's a little odd to see her out and about buying even more of the stuff. And a lot of it, too, from the looks of things. Her hand basket is almost overflowing with the stuff as she makes her way through the aisles, humming cheerfully to herself as the key in her back slowly turns of its own accord. And... is she blushing? And giggling to herself? Something is clearly afoot here, but at least so far, she hasn't mentioned it to anyone.]

La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la~ is the melody Desco hums to herself as she floats behind Nano. Occasionally she'll float just a little higher than normal in order to stare, fascinated, at the top-shelf chocolates.

[all_wound_up]

[Nano hadn't even noticed that she was being followed until Desco floats up in front of her face. She gives a startled little squeak before stumbling back a step.]

O-oh!

[tyrantball]

"Hi Sis!"

The eyes on Desco's dress sparkle with happiness as she comes across something interesting - a box of chocolate-covered dried fruit.

"Oooo!"

[all_wound_up]

Hello, Desco-chan. Are you doing some shopping too?

[Look at those rosy cheeks of hers just glowing!]

[tyrantball]

Nod nod nod.

"Yes! Desco is going to make a special After-Valentine's Choco-Parfait!"

A happy grin as she whispers a GREAT AND IMPORTANT TRUTH.

"Desco has already brought an inflatable pool to make it in!"

[all_wound_up]

You're going to eat it while relaxing in a pool?

[tyrantball]

Headtilt.

"The pool is for the parfait, not Desco!"

[hello_mgann]

[Nano may be in a good mood, but M'gann is not. She's angrily stuffing reduced price chocolate cookies into her cart when Nano runs into her. Rather than her usual friendly greeting she just gives Nano a curt nod.]

[all_wound_up]

M'gann...? What's wrong?

[Happy as she is, she always has time for a friend.]

[hello_mgann]

I had a really crappy Valentine's day, so now I'm going to get a bunch of oreos and sit in my room and cry. Alone of course.

[all_wound_up]

O-oh... is there anything I can do to help?

[She's pretty sure there isn't, but she has to ask anyway.]

[hello_mgann]

I'm sorry Nano, the last few days have been really hard for me. You haven't met a guy named Conner around town have you? Muscular guy, dark hair?

[all_wound_up]

No, I'm sorry, I haven't.

[resipiscent]

He's not shopping for anything in particular, really, but when he sees Nano from across the store, he can't resist finding out what this is about.

"Hey, you. Sweet tooth acting up?"

[all_wound_up]

These are for someone else.

[resipiscent]

"Oh yeah?" In that case... "Who's the lucky recipient?" She's clearly excited, and the look on her face...

[all_wound_up]

Um... his name is Teddie.

i don't know if he'd say dude oops

[resipiscent]

"Isn't that that guy who asked for pretty girls when he first got here?" They've met, it seems.

[all_wound_up]

Mmhmm. He's a little silly, but he's very nice.

[get_bent]

[Well someone IS noticing, first when he saw her leave the inn then running into her here, but he's also covered in bandages from his scuffles during valentines. And Kanji isn't exactly the must subtle person around.]

You're lookin' happy today.

[all_wound_up]

Oh, Kanji-san...! How are your wounds healing?

[She's obviously seen him around the inn before now, but that doesn't mean she can't still be concerned. She probably asks this every time they run into each other, though.]

[get_bent]

Tch. I'm fine.

[She's probably pretty used to his usual reactions when he's asked about himself. Besides he doesn't want to think about that.]

So...

[He's really bad at asking things.]

[all_wound_up]

...Yes?

[And Nano is bad at reading subtext. They're quite the pair.]

[get_bent]

[Dammit, don't make him say it!]

Man do I really have to say it? You just look pretty happy, alright? Somethin' happen?!

[He didn't mean to raise his voice but it tends to happen with him. At least Nano knows he's not really angry it's just his inside voice.]

[all_wound_up]

...Oh!

[Haha whoops. Nano blushes, looking momentarily sheepish.]

Mmhmm. I have a boyfriend!
