Who: Nikolai Volkov, and open~
Where: Scorpio ward
When: the evening of April 6
Summary: Catching fireflies! And he needs some folks to help.

[Being at a place like this might seem a little out of character for a guy like Nik, but actually, he finds this quite peaceful. He can't remember the last time he's gotten to do something like this. For a long while, he quietly stands alone, watching the fireflies dance about. It seems like a long time coming, but he's really glad spring is here.

He's come here on a mission, though. Finally venturing to the Velvet Room, Nik's been tasked with collecting some fireflies. Seemed simple enough. Nik's carrying a jar with him to keep them in, with a few holes poked into the lid for air. He figures that should be good enough. Now to actually catch some! They're sort of elusive little critters though, but he doesn't let it bother him. Is he... smiling Enjoying himself? What a rare sight. Maybe you care to join him? Plus nit looks a little difficult, trying to hold onto a firefly and open the jar, and get it in there without letting the thing fly off. He could use an extra set of hands.]

[Senri has been watching for a few minutes now. Until he got the gist of what Nikolai was doing. Then he reaches out, catches a firefly and walks over.

So... strange kid offering you a bug, Nik. Must be your lucky day.]

Ah... Thank you. [He'll scoop it into the jar.] I'm collecting them for the Velvet Room. Taking a bit of the festival to them, I suppose.

[A small smile and a nod. The fireflies are really pretty, so he isn't surprised that other people would want to see some.]

More?

[He points in the general direction of some fireflies, offering to add a few more to the collection.]

Hmm, sure. I suppose I shouldn't put in too many. but at least enough to put on a show.

[You got it! Senri is heading off to get more fireflies. Bringing them back one at a time.

Which he will keep doing until he's told to stop.]

[Once they have five, Nik will stop him. He holds up the jar to take a look.] I think that should be good. I hope they'll be alright in there. I wasn't sure what else to keep them in.

[A nod. He's happy to help. And then he bends down and picks a dandelion from the grass. Because he'll want to remember this later. The fireflies were pretty. The flower goes into a book.]

[Not much of a talker, huh. Nik's okay with that.]

Ah... You collect flowers?

[He shakes his head. No, whyever would you assume that?

But to demonstrate, he'll pull out a black feather. Then a piece of string that was tucked into another page. There's actually a lot of things in this book.]

Oh.

[He has no idea what this means.]

You... collect many things, then.

Memories...

[That clearly explains everything.]
