Petal Power was having a sale for the next few days on things like Holly and Poinsettias. To make sure that all of the Holiday orientated plants were able to get homes since it was also harder to sell things like that other times of the year. Yukito was arranging things on the shelves, bringing all of the X-mas plants together into one area before marking the prices on them that the boss had sent to him. He had left his brother, the other employee of the store to manning the register as it was what he was the best at.
The only thing he had to do now that things were nicely arranged and ready for customers was go outside and make up the sign for the large, glass windows out front. He picked up the bucket of paint based markers with his tail and got a step stool before heading out front. He shivered as he stepped outside, far to cold for him and for the plants he thought to himself as he set the stool down,. He blew out a breath and wasn't to surprised when he was able to see it in the air. He quickly climbed up onto it and set to writing out the sign in alternating red and green letters.
'Holiday Sale on Holiday Flowers!' followed by the various names of the plants that were up for sale. Once he got his sign done he would be able to go back in where it was warm.

Megan blew out a breath in the cold air, delighting in the fact that she could see it. She didn't particularly enjoy the cold weather, but there were a few good things that came with it. Like being able to see when she was breathing. It was satisfying, in some small way. Today had been an altogether enjoyable day in fact. Gloha had taken her and Terry shopping, and.... Megan suddenly lost her train of thought as she spotted a man in front of a window, using brightly colored paints to write something out. She had little idea what he was writing, but his tail fascinated her. She stopped right behind him, and simply stared up. Terry too, seemed slightly captivated, but was more stopping because she had been holding Megan's hand. Gloha, seeing what had happened, groaned slightly and walked back to where Megan was with Terry. Megan really was such an easily distracted child. "C'mon Megan," she whispered, bending down to pick the toddler up, "You too Terry. You know you don't like it when people stare. How do you think they feel?"

It had taken Yukito a little while to notice that there were people behind him, had actually only seen them because he noticed their reflections in the glass. He wasn't to surprised when he found they were starring at his tail, he'd learned long ago that it was something small children adored. As such he put the bucket of markers down that it was holding and set to swishing it back and forth in front of them.
When he heard the woman's voice he turned to look over his shoulder at her, "Its alright, I am used to little kids finding my tail to be rather interesting." He assured her, not wanting her to think that he had been bothered by it.

Megan laughed, reaching out her hands. "It's a tail mommy!" she giggled. Terry grinned slightly at Megan, but said nothing. She was slightly less social than the little girl. Gloha smiled apolegetically. "I really am sorry though," she said, "She just gets a little overexcited sometimes." Which was true. It was amazing how fickle Megan's emotions could be. Crying one second, and then laughing uncontrollably the next. Gloha really didn't know how the kid did it, but she had found that this was often the case with all those younger than five.

"My tail is used to all sorts of abuse from hugs to chewing, her excitement won't hurt it I am sure." He said, giving the group a smile. The mere fact that she wasn't latch onto it already was almost surprising to the white chocolate Sin, that what he was used to having having normally.
He quickly wrote down the last couple letters of his sign before he stepped down off of the step stool, "Can I interest you in any flowers? We are having a sale." He said, as if the giant sign behind him wasn't enough to tell people that already but Yuki was a social creature and liked to talk.
His tail which seemed as always to have a mind of its own was still swishing about, slower now though. As if daring the little ones to try to catch it.

Megan's eyes followed the tail's movements, and she felt herself drawn to it even more. Mommy had told her not to touch other people's stuff, but... Gloha saw Megan watching the tail, and knew what she was going to do seconds before it happened. She gave an internal sigh, but Megan had already launched herself at it, and was clutching the end, looking entirely too possesive of the thing. "Well, I may as well buy some flowers now," Gloha said, her hand on her face, "She won't be letting go for a little while." Terry looked on in amusement, laughing silently to herself.

Yukito gave a bit of a laugh when his tail got tackled, now that was the reaction he was used to, "Alright, we can go inside and I can show you what we have for sale." He said, picking up his bucket of markers and the step stool before leading the way inside, taking it slowly so that the one attached to his tail wasn't at risk of tripping.
"We have a wide variety of flowers for sale and as a new bonus any flower in the shop can be changed to whatever color you want." He said, having grown to absolutely love his latest ability he'd picked up even if it were a strange one. It did well in making them some extra money because people seemed willing to pay extra to get flowers in exotic colors.

Megan dutifully carried the end of the tail into the shop, with Terry following directly behind, and looking as though she wanted to just drop on the ground and laugh until she couldn't breathe. Gloha came in behind the two, listening to what the man was saying, but also keeping an eye on Megan to make sure that she didn't try anything else. Megan, realizing that she was being watched, looked over at Gloha and gave her a broad grin, which didn't help to lessen Gloha's worry. "Well, I suppose anything will do," she said, knowing absolutely nothing about flowers, "I think that I'd like some as a gift for an elderly woman I know." She needed some way to thank Mrs. Rye for watching Megan and Terry the other day.

"Daisies are always a nice idea, they are fairly easy to care for and they don't smell to strongly." He knew that some people could be bothered by strong scents but just in case that wasn't so he added, "Or if you wanted something for your friend that smells nice there are Lilies."
He turned to look over at Megan and Terry, "Would you two like to help pick out the color for the flowers?" He asked of them, they were so quiet and he didn't want them to feel as if he weren't paying them any attention. Just because they were small was no reason to not talk them.

Terry, realizing that she was being spoken too, instantly ducked behind Gloha, and then peeked out a little. It was always hard to talk to people for her, but especially hard to talk to one older than her. Megan however, had no such problem. "Ahh... Pink and yellow and purple and gwreen and bluuuue," she called, pointing to her head. "See! Like this!" she said solemnly, just in case he didn't know the colors. Gloha smiled at Megan's boldness, and then turned to Terry. "Gonna be all right?" she asked gently. Terry looked up and nodded. She actually did like this person, but she still found it incredibly hard to talk. A habit like this was difficult to break.
[[>.< Sorry to abandon you, but I'm really tired. I'm going to get to bed. I'll be back on tomorrow though. So, see you then, hopefully! :3]]

Yukito gave a nod of his head as he listened to the girl as she listed off the colors that she thought the flowers should become, "Those all sound like great colors for the flowers." He said, then looked over to Terry feeling a little guilty. He hadn't meant to scare the little one... he moved to pick up a daisy that was sitting in a vase on the counter and held it out between the girls, "Here, watch."
There was a moment of wait before the white colored petals of the flower started to change color to the colors that Megan had requested, "Ta-Dah!" He said, giving a bit of a grin and awaited the reaction of the trio he was showing the trick too.
(( Rest well, I hope to catch up with you again soon this has been fun. ^_^ ))

Terry, Megan, and even Gloha watched in amazement as the colors of the flowers changed before their eyes. "Wow..." Terry breathed, smiling slightly and coming out from behind Gloha's back to get a better view. Megan looked on with wide eyes, giggling a bit and losening her grip on the tail a little. "How'd you do that?!" she cried excitedly. Gloha smiled, all the while wondering if perhaps she should be getting more sleep.
[[Back! ^.^ Though for how long I do not know. O.o Depends on if I'm dragged on a shopping trip with my older sister when she gets home.]]

Yukito gave a bit of a smile when the trick seemed to work in helping the girl to be a little less afraid, "Its just a fun trick I picked up along the way." He said. It no doubt has to do with what he was, he'd learned a few useful tricks from being a Sin'aeis and some tricks that were more strange then useful, "I will be able to do that to any of the other flowers you all pick out too."

Megan's eyes grew even wider, if that was possible. "Any of them?" she questioned, "Really?" She smiled widely and dropped the tail to pick up a pot of white lilies. "Can we get these mommy? And make them purple and gwreen?" she asked pleadingly. "Er... I suppose," Gloha replied, still slightly confused, "But what about the other ones?" "Those were for the person, remember?" Megan replied, still clutching the flowers. Terry nodded in agreement. With a sigh, Gloha gave in. "Fine, fine," she said, removing the fragile clay pot from Megan's hands. "Um, can we get these in purple and green please?" she asked, "And purchase the other ones as well?"

Yukito gave a nod of his head as he reached out to touch the flowers that were in Gloha's hands. There was a shimmer across the white petals of the flowers turning them the green and purple that Megan had requested, "All done." He said before leading the way to the counter where she could pay for them.
There was a young brunette man with one arm sitting at the counter watching as his brother and the customers. The young man, Sasarai rose from his seat and then reached down to get some bags from under it to wrap the flowers with to protect them from the cold, "I can ring those up for you here." He told Gloha.
The dragon Sin'aeis knelt down in front of the two little girls, "You picked out some good colors and some good kinds of flowers. I am sure that your friend will love them."
