[[The following is an PRP starring: Meli & Aki and Natchi & Sa'ida
Location :: Cafe Jubilee Rooftop Garden Terrace
Setting :: A Beautiful Sunset and Clear Starry Night]] Despite her best efforts Natsuki was having a tough time keeping up with Sa'ida's social calendar. This was largely, in part, to her own personal desire to have her young charge become acclimated with raevan society, and develop the necessary social skills to eventually function without Natsuki's watchful eye. Flipping through her secret contact book of raevan guardians which she received from Dr. Kyou ages ago, a name caught her attention.
Melisande. The beautiful songstress she saw only in passing at events, but never managed to actually talk with the young woman or her guardian Aki. According to her notes, Meli was the only Sigel aside from Lazzie, which would provide Sa'ida with the opportunity to see what she may look like (developmentally) when she got "older". Writing a letter to Aki, the cafe owner formally introduced herself and her own raevan, and politely extended a dinner invitation for the woman and her young lady to join them at the cafe. Of course, she would omit some little details like the gorgeous sunset view and the splendor of the moonlight garden. Naturally, she wanted to leave some surprises for her guests! After signing her name, she inserted her business card with her personal contact information as well. The redhead would have simply dropped the letter in the post box, but she had a better idea. "Sa'i, take this to the post office and give it to the mail man," Natsuki said, sealing the envelope and sticky a rose scented postage stamp in the corner. "Wahooooo~!" Sa'ida cheered, nearly snatching the letter from her guardian's hands. She knew where to find the post men as she followed one of them on a bright red scooter from the cafe into the center of town. "Leave it to, Sa'i~ Bai-bee!!" Sa'ida zig-zagged her way through the town to the post office. Without breaking pace she shoved the letter at the first postman she saw and with a wink she vanished back down the path she came on. It was her first chance to deliver a letter, so she was nervous, especially because she was going to meet another friend!

"Pasha, please stop. You're going to make yourself dizzy!!"
Melisande only nodded, and scratched at the stamp again with her pink nail, bringing the envelope up to her face for another sniff. Roses! Every time she smelled it, it made her smile. "It's beautiful~." Maybe she was a little dizzy, but only in a good way!
Aki sighed, and leaned over Pasha's seat to open the door of the cab. "We're here, sweetie. Don't worry, you can take it with you. Take this one, too!" As the door swung open, Aki handed the Raevan a second envelope, of bronze toned paper with a gently embossed flap.
Melisande floated sideways, exiting the car with an ease that made Aki a bit jealous. As the girl waited, she turned the new envelope over in her hands, and her bottom lip pooched in a tiny pout. "There's no stamp!"
"That's because we're not mailing it."
Pasha treated her guardian to a blank look.
Aki sighed again. "You only need a stamp if you're going to mail something. This is hand delivered! So, no stamp."
Pasha nodded slowly, but she still looked a bit sad. "That's okay. I'll share mine!"
Aki opened her mouth, and shut it again. There was no point in raining on Meli's parade. "Sure, sweetie. That would be nice."
**
Standing before the sign to the Cafe', Aki took one last moment to make sure they were both in order. Melisande was still playing with the envelopes, rubbing them together face to face in an attempt to spread the lovely scent. While she worked, Aki walked a full circle around the Raevan...tugging the short frill of her skirt into place, and adjusting her precarious updo.
It was a new style for Melisande, to be sure. Her light spring colors had been replaced with richer tones, a vibrant dark purple that suited evening attire. Long gloves and a high, Victorian collar made Pasha look positively stunning, especially contrasted with the antique ivory lace that Aki had worked in as trim. She'd never thought to put Melisande's hair up before, but it looked lovely, especially with the sexy, slender cut of her outfit. A few of Aki's emerald hairpins added a subtle splash of color, setting off the Raevan's bright blue eyes.
"Do you think it worked? I can't tell."
For a moment, Aki was confused...until Pasha held out the new envelope for her to sniff. Shaking her head with helpless amusement, Aki leaned forward and sniffed obligingly, nodding in affirmation. "Yep! That's very sweet, darling. Are you ready?"
Pasha nodded, and did a slow twirl, her ribbon flaring. "Yes! You look pretty, Aki." Pasha's tone was genuine, if a bit shy, and Aki smiled at the sweet words.
"Aw. Thank you! Let's go, then!" Aki smoothed her hands down her own hips, only remembering to straighten herself up after Pasha's kind comment. She picked something new for the evening, a thin tailored pantsuit in a complementary cream. Since Pasha was wearing her hair up, Aki wore hers down for once...ends curling at the small of her back. She held the door open for Pasha, and together they made their way inside.
Though she'd never been there, Aki already felt comfortable. She made her way up the stairs, following the indications to the rooftop terrace, and took a deep breath when they emerged back into the fresh evening air. The first traces of sunset were already visible, and the garden provided for a perfect view.
Aki paused to look out, impressed. What a gorgeous location! Pasha, on the other hand, didn't wait...she made her way forward towards the tables, taking in the decor. "Oooh! Aki, look! Flowers!!"
