...good thing I always keep these handkerchiefs on me.
Trying his best to not freak out with her he applied one right to her bleeding nose, forcing a chuckle. "Well, like I've said, it's all up to you." He said, holding Lena in his hands as he stopped her for the Dust-knows-what-time from bleeding out.
Totally Not Pissed
Nat smiled sweetly at Raggy and Lena, not following them as they left. But her nails her balled up into her fist, digging into her palm. She was absolutely livid. Was this what she had been reduced to? What was going on with her? This wasn't her. People were supposed to be fighting and clawing to want to spend time with her. Where had all of her tricks and charisma gone? She had to become infamous. She needed it. It was starting to make her sick.
She stood there, smiling silently, cursing loudly in her mind and plotting more ways to be remembered, or at least have some interesting thing happen.

Ullioc slid over closer to the infuriated girl with a grin, sipping at his equally heated coffee some more.
"Having yourself some issues there, Nat?" he asked, ears twitching almost gleefully. He hadn't had the chance to talk to her in a while now, and instead had to resign to looking at her from afar. This might not have been the best situation, but it was one nonetheless.
He still considered her his muse, as much today as he did the first day.
The tiger faunus took another sip, letting this one drag out. He finally pulled the cup away. "No but seriously, is there something wrong?"
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Nat was jolted out of her machinations by Ullioc. She hadn't really thought much of the boy, at all. She barely remembered him. She was usually more concerned with getting herself remembered, and of no fault of her own, with all the creative ideas and schemes running through her mind, there is barely any room for other people most of the time. Still, she put on her trademark stylish smile.
"Hello there~ Of course, nothing is wrong, silly. It's a beautiful day, I'm a beautiful girl, and It's Lovers Day, and I'm sure there is mischief to be made somewhere, and a perfect victim."
Ullioc drowned his cup (by this point, the third in total) and placed it down on the table.
"A beautiful girl on Lovers' Day, obsessed only with mischief?" he said, a couple implications in his voice. "Is that connected to how angry you were a few seconds ago? You were shaking, you know."
The ran his finger around the rim of the cup.
"I could help you with that matter of yours, Nat, if you wanted."

"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Looking away from his staring contest with the window at the sound of Diana's voice, he shook his head. "I-It's nothing, r-really, I-I-I guess I'm still sort of n-nervous about t-today..." James quietly replied, being honest and dishonest at the same time.
...He blinked in surprise at Mefus. She worked fast, having planned all that out faster than he was expecting. "...you certainly know what you're doing, Mefus. T-Thanks for helping organize things, I really had no idea how exactly...today was going to go..." Croire smiled, looking a bit more at ease and shy.
Of course, Ao growling and looking rather annoyed made him cringe and nervously place his hands on her shoulders. "N-No-one said y-you were fragile, A-Ao. T-There's no need to g-get upset, okay...?"

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Ao tensed up for a long moment when James put his hands on her shoulders. Physical contact that's not an impact was definitely not something she was used to. Eventually she let out a breath, and slumped her shoulders. "Okay ...sorry." she said to the both of them.

James replied, trying to smile...before realizing his hands were still on the fox faunus' shoulders as he timidly moved away, glancing out the window yet looking at Ao out of the corner of his eye. "S-S-S-Sorry."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day."Just cause my mum makes me outline any events that'll involve me spending her money. Today's expenses were preapproved after breakfast, I just had to text her to warn her about the addition of another person. The festival tickets, the mani-pedi, and the contest are already paid for, with an additional 100 lien set aside for additional purchases and expenses. Also, the scroll was a preapproved expense on hold but given permission after the initiation. Though the other stuff, huh, I might have to enter the thingy again, but that'll be later."
She stretched out her feet and stood up as the bus came to a halt,
"Anyway, we're here! Let's go, scrolls need to be bought!"
"Its fine." Ao mumbled. She still wasn't quite sure how to react to things like that. But it was quickly put out of her mind when Mefus started talking about.
Ao's first thought was Wow, she's another kind of Rags, at least she's not just doing it to be pompous. at least Ao thought that way.
Her second one was This girl gets to spend from the family treasury? ...What a waste. You see in the Sasanose clan if someone wanted spending money they had to earn it on their own. And as result people became more fond of hanging on to what money they had. If someone was going to spend from the collective pool of resources it had damn well better be an emergency.

PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850Understandably, James looked impressed...yet at the same time, he glanced to the side when getting to his feet as the bus came to a stop. "W-W-Well, at least you're certainly, um, r-responsible, but I s-suppose with that much m-money to spend..." He trailed off, grabbing his backpack and trying to smile. "I'm f-fine with spending some of m-my own money, though, y-you don't need to be t-the only one."
Glancing back at Ao and Diana, the human kept up the uneasy smile. "W-Well, are you two c-coming along?"
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day."I won't stop you James. It's not much a thing, since it doesn't matter what I spend money on since no matter what my mum's gonna make me submit an expense report at the end of the year. She's been making me do it since I was 13 as a condition on using her credit card."
She led the way down the street,
"At least it's not as annoying when she asked me to fill out a tax return for a summer job. Anyway, I think there's a store over here. I wonder if they got any of the new models in?"
"W-Well, yes, I guess you've got a point there...but it's at least, y-you know, one less thing to r-report. That, and, um, y-you don't need to pay for something that I s-should be buying anyway."
He wasn't quite sure what to say about the tax return, though.
"...I wouldn't really know. I've only...really seen glimpses of what these scrolls are, really..."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day....Great, so she's nearly as clueless as we are. Besides, you're just going to figure out how it works before...
O-Of course I'm going to do a bit of tinkering with it. I could probably...
The human snapped out of his thoughts as they arrived at the store, glancing from side to side.
"R-Right. I'm s-sure we'll be just fine, then. ...A-And hopefully we don't make Ao or D-Diana wait t-too long."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Lena forced herself to calm down, gratefully taking the offered help.
"Okay, okay. I'm fine. Fine. Let's...try to enjoy the festival. With luck, you might even find something to hit so you won't get too bored." she teased.
So. As Diana waited for James and Mefus to buy the Scroll, she was here. With Ao.
....How awkward.
She fidgeted nervously. Oh, boy. This is gonna suck.
"...I wouldn't quite...call myself that, but you do have a point."
...let's see...
He looked over at the scrolls. He wasn't exactly too concerned with the specs as he grabbed a simple, if sleek scroll. Everything seemed to look fine in terms of what it could do, and there would probably be space to make improvements if it was necessary.
"...Alright."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Lena snorted. "You've turned me into a sap. We've already established this."
...Then, he made his suggestion. Lena went bright red and began the classic royal family maneuver of freaking the hell out.
"Y-you and me...alone?! On Lover's Day?!"
"I...I...!"
She was trying very hard to suppress highly innappropriate thoughts that were floating in her head.
Nosebleed.
