Glancing around at the decor around the city, not to mention the care that each couple and family show in the streets has gotten down right disgusting. It's so fake! I watch little kids dressed in little colorful outfits going to the temples, shadows of red marks barely making their way out of the oversized clothes. Not to mention the bright smile not even close to hiding the pleading looks and watchful gazes of the children seeking for approval from the parents for simple actions, or quickly looking away on mistakes in the act as the parents glare at them. There are some genuine families and lovers, people who are subconsciously acting with true care to the others and not forcing it. Sadly, I can't join the Dryadoli for this holiday, never could. They may see me as a part of the group, but even among them I'm too unique. The last group I was watching enters a small store front, leaving me to find another. Glancing around, I see some single people off the the side, not really partaking in any festivities other than deals. I grin as I see a familiar face, one that will allow me to have fun when I'm around him. I smile and slowly descend from the roof I was sitting on, making sure to take care to not be seen by anyone.

Another year, another Hearth Day, another slight crisis over Arashi's failed love life and his feelings of loneliness. He always wanted to have someone to be close with, someone to love and cherish and who could love and cherish him back in the same way, he would've loved to go on dates, dance together, even if he wasn't the best at it, watch the stars at night and the clouds during the day, and just get lost in that present moment, with someone who understood him and he understood in return... it seemed simple enough, but it was something he never really had... but it's not like he's alone, at least not now with Cookie and Mizu, but they weren't that for him. He took care of Cookie, her energetic sweetness and innocence were worth protecting, and Mizu was more of a mother to him than his own mother ever was, she took care of them both, but rarely talked about her own struggles with them. She's likely to have more stress than she lets on, thinking of that Arashi would make mental note of that and try to bring it up. He doesn't want Mizu to be unhappy or stressed so he should do his best to help.
Regardless of his mental state right now and the conflicting aspects of not being alone but feeling like he needs something else to feel accompanied, he was on a mission. While Mizu distracted Cookie, he had to get some chocolates and baked goods for the little pixie, Hearth Day was as much about loved ones and families in general as it was about lovers, and being that this was the first one for his little fluttering companion, Arashi wanted to make it special something that hopefully she wouldn't forget any time soon, so he had placed an order at the local bakery a few days ago and was on his way to pick it up. the bakery was full of people and overflowing with Thematic decorations, although they seemed to have been expecting something like that as they had placed a stall outside to sell things on the go and deliver orders without delaying the whole process due to the amount of people visiting the shop. "Hello, I'm here to pick up an order to Arashi Tento." The half-elf employee smiled brightly "Alright! you remember what it was? it makes it easier to find it and know where to look and who to ask" Arashi nods "Yes of course it is a chocolate inscribed with the word 'We' then a heart shape and then the word 'you' in the box there should also be a chocolate chip cookie next to the bar." the half-elf nodded cheerfully and spun on her heel going in through the back to get the order.
Throughout all this Arashi failed to notice the small framed Monochrome figure that had approached him

I feel my grin spread even further as I listen to the order he placed. Honestly, knowing him, it's probably for a companion, but it's too good of an opportunity to tease with. I slowly walk to him to give time for adjusting to my presence, as he is a warrior and has the reflexes to show it, don't need to have him pull his sword out right now. Standing right behind him, I lean forward and calmly ask, "Whatcha getting?" I look through the store, locating the many different designs and patterns to see the over all theme of the store, Hearth Day. I look back at Arashi as I smirk while crossing my arms, "To think you have a significant partner is new to me, do tell in what ways did you woo this other. Was it saving the damsel in distress?" I dramatically lean back with my wrist on my forehead before turning to place the hand on my chest and the other one on my skirt for a curtsy. "Or was it more royal and formal?" I stick out my tongue as I give a wide grin over the teasing. My shoulder begin to shake from holding back laughter from my own actions. Where I may or may not be trying to find some form of distraction from the couples around us.

As the presence grew closer, Arashi noted it as non-threat, that is until he heard who it was... Without immediately turning around almost frozen in place he replied to her introduction. "Hi Keyke" He slowly turned to meet her, "What brought you all the way here? oh! that? N-no it's not what you think" as she continued with her exaggerated gestures Arashi loosens up a bit, she's clearly teasing, as she sticks out her tongue mockingly barely containing her own laughter, Arashi rests his hand on her head patting her gently while smiling "If only it were so easy... But no, it is not for a significant other in that sense, it is actually for Cookie, my pixie, it's her first hearth day and I'd like for her to remember it fondly!" He thinks for a bit as he begins taking his hand off "Maybe you'd like to come with? we can hang for a bit I still have time before I have to bring her the surprise, besides I'm sure you'll get along!"
The Employee arrives with his order, and Arashi takes it after paying, he turns back around to face Keyke "Right now she's being distracted by Mizu my childhood caretaker and kind of her Nanny. So we could all do something! Unless..." He fakes a shocked expression "Don't tell me you are here because you were waiting for your significant other yourself?!" he then looks upwards thoughtfully "Although if that were the case you probably wouldn't be talking to me... but what if" He looks back with even more exaggerated shock!! "Were you ditched by your date?! Oh! the awfulness of such situation! You tried to spread your wings and leave Fin and Nit behind, you thought you found the one and they bail on you leaving you alone in the rough streets of Sol City to fend for yourself! Someone as cute and resourceful as Keyke! the greatest info broker and powerful magician! if even she isn't immune to being forsaken by her one true love then who amongst us all could claim to even have a chance!" Arashi couldn't hold it back and began to laugh himself. He might've went a bit overboard but no one could say he couldn't be dramatic and over the top when he wanted to.
