((This is an rp between Mizu, Kaze and their respective characters, so please do not post, though feel free to watch!
And now Mizu will post her first on the next post...because she needs to scrounge up Mikomi's font color again XD))

[[Setting: The cafe close to the shop]]
Mikomi looked out of the large window of the cafe whistfully, watching all the people as they passed by. Things had been so uneventful for such a long time, and now she had run into one of her few friends just a few days earlier.
So many different people...
Here, alone in her little booth, Mikomi had some time to think. Think about Tayne, and how late she was at meeting her here, about Riyana and how nice it was to see her again...and about Arian.
She hadn't seen him for such a long time. Of what she could gather he had went off somewhere, where that somewhere was still needed to be figured out. That's where Riyana went...somewhere. She wondered if they had met up at all. She should've asked when she had the chance...

It had been a few days since Arian had visited the lanturn shop - three to be exact.
Three since he'd met Vidali, a little blue lanturn spirit about the size of Mikomi.
The unicorn spirit was heading back towards the lanturn shop again to pick up some ingredients for Kaze to whip up a batch of cookies but his progress was slow as he was peeking curiously into some of the shop windows along the way. Some of the shops that he remembered didn't seem to be there anymore - like the shop he'd gone to look at the pretty stones and the post office wasn't where he remembered it to be.
There were new shops to - quite a few of them in fact.. Actually Arian remember there being quite that many shops before, but maybe that was a new thing, something that had happened while he'd been gone.
The words "Special of the Day - Banoffee Pie" on a board hanging outside what looked like a cafe caught his eye, his messy jade-green hair - braided as always swinging as he paused to take a look at the picture drawn next to the words of what looked like some sort of banana-type pie.

Bright eyes flickered back and forth...where exactly was Tayne? She was supposed to be here about ten minutes ago, but then again she wasn't exactly sure. The clock inside might be a bit fast. She scanned the people as they walked by, stopping in front of the sign. There was a man walking his dog...a woman with a child...a boy with a horn... a...
Wait...a boy with a horn?
Mikomi blinked and stared a bit, though she knew that staring was often considered rude. That boy looking at the sign...could it be Arian? It had to be. There was no other person on earth with a horn, jade hair, and wings. Leaning over she tapped on the window with a smile to get his attention.

Banana and toffee and chocolate sprinkles - the whole thing looked really interesting, especially the whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles... And bananas was one of his favourites... Arian wondered if he could talk Kaze into making it for him some time...
Or maybe he could just make it himself.. After all how hard could it...
The tapping of the glass caught his attention, distracting Arian from the 'special of the day board' and serving to focus his attention more clearly on the inside of the cafe.
The source of the tapping came from a purple girl around his height who kind of looked sort of familiar, although the unicorn spirit was pretty sure he didn't know any purple girls the same size as him.. The only purple girl he knew was Mikomi, although he hadn't seen her since just before Kaze came back on the trip she'd gone on when she'd left him with Uncle Kori and soon after he'd gone with Kaze.
The purple girl was smiling at him so he gave her a broad smile back.

Mikomi waved, though was worried. Didn't he recognize her. Sure, it had been a while, but still... Wasn't she worth remembering? It was all very saddening and confusing...
Then it hit her. Of course she would seem different to him! She was bigger and older, and he hadn't seen that version of her yet. Trying to think quick, she attempted to think of a way to show that she was indeed Mikomi and not just some other purple girl, though she hadn't met any other purple girls...Could he hear her through the glass?
"Arian!" she said a bit louder then she intended, the few people who were here looked at her and then went about their drinks and food.

Now the girl was waving at him, almost as if she knew him. Which was really really weird since if that was the case shouldn't he know her too...?
And she still looked kind of familiar as though he ought to know her - though he didn't really.
The fact that he should was bugging him though, like a puzzle that was missing too many pieces and.. And...
The best way to find out something you don't know is to ask.
Mind made up Arian pushed open the cafe door, the tinkling of the bell kind of reminding him of the bell in the lanturn shop.
It was only a matter of taking a few steps after that to reach the girl's table.
"Umm... Hi?" he asked the the girl, his smile was slightly nervous now. "Do we know each other? It's just you kind of look familiar and I feel like I should know you from somewhere, but I can't remember."

Even though she knew that most likely that he wouldn't remember her with her new change, Mikomi felt a tinge of...saddness that he couldn't piece it together. Was she that different? She herself couldn't tell anymore...
He did say that he remembered her...or knew that he should...that was a start...
"Arian...It's me, Mikomi..." she said softly, sitting back down in her seat, smile a bit softer.
"It's been awhile...How have you been?"

"Mi..ko..mi..." Arian looked startled at the girl's words. "Really?!" Actually come to think about it she did kind of look like the Mikomi he knew... Well except for the taller part - make that the much taller part.
"You got bigger, you're the same size as me now! When did that happen? Was it while Mum and me were gone? Or was it just recently?"
Arian flopped down on an empty seat, curling his tail around the legs carefully so that it wouldn't get trodden on almost automatically before wondering if he should have done that. It had been ages since he'd seen Mikomi and although he'd liked her a lot back then..
Had thought even that she might be one of his friends like Aikori was - but then he and Kaze had left before he could ask and now she she was big like him and she'd probably made other friends and...
He gave Mikomi an embarrassed smile before looking down at the table slightly. "Sorry I didn't recognise you" his voice was slightly mumbled as he wondered if Mikomi even remembered them drawing leaves together in the park. "Mum and I've been gone ages and ages and we only finished moving into Mum's place two weeks ago."

Mikomi laughed a little and flushed slightly. Now that was more like it. It was so nice to see him again!
"It happened almost right after you left..." she started. "Mom got me a pretty lanturn and well, now I'm bigger," she finished with a small smile. Tilting her head, she heard something of intrest in his words.
"Oh, you're not living with your Uncle Kori anymore?" she asked with curiousity. She wondered what happened, but really didn't want to press the matter any more then it has to be pressed.

Arian's smile slowly lost the embarassed tinge to it as Mikomi laughed - after all she was laughing - that was good right?
"No we're not - When we came back Mum said we were going to get a place of our own and when I asked why said something about it being time that she..." He scrunched up his face slightly in thought "Stopped mooching off Uncle Kori's kindness. We still go and see Uncle Kori through - Mum usually goes twice a week and sticks food in the fridge, because Uncle Kori's kind of hopeless like that."
Arian made a face "Uncle Kori's still a meanie though and he still calls me a brat."
He smiled again "But what about you? What have you been doing?"

Mikomi swung her feet a little and sighed.
"I haven't been doing too much...just reading and gardening with Mom for the most part..." she said with a tinge of saddness. "Things have been going so slowly around here...So many people left...there wasn't all that many people at the shop...Not that I minded it all that much actually. It was quiet there for once. It's a nice place to read when there aren't that many people there..." She then laughed a bit again.
"But look at me! Blabbing on about how boring I am! I'm sure you had much more fun out and about with your mum, no?"

Arian blinked "Lots of people left?" He asked Mikomi curiously. He wondered who - was it a lanturn he knew? Not that he knew that many of them - appart from Mikomi there was Aikori and he vaguely remembered Toshi, Hikari and Dusk from before...
"Talking about the shop - I met a new spirit there. He was your size.." Arian flushed slightly - it was going to take a bit of getting used to Mikomi being the same height as him. "Erm I mean the size you used to be and he had an arm that was completely made of metal which I thought was cool. he didn't mind answering my questions either."
He smiled at Mikomi "Travelling with Mum was fun, though strange as well since we saw quite a lot of places. Having lessons with her were fun too and I got to do lots of drawing. We never did any gardening though." He looked at Mikomi "What sort of stuff do you and Tayne grow? Is it stuff to eat? Or pretty things like flowers?"

((Bwaahhha! The busyness gonk ))
Mikomi grinned. It was nice to hear Arian, questions and all again.
"Bits of both...though we grow more flowers then we do things to eat...We don't worry about things rotting or getting eaten as much..." she said whistfully. "We have been trying to grow a small patch of pumpkins though...but they haven't turned out all too well...Mom says we don't have the right dirt for it..." She meakly smiled again.
"Funny how plants can be so picky sometimes..."
