Arian wandered towards Miss Irisa's cafe, his head down and emerald eyes deep in thought, although for once his mind was on finding out about lanturns.. Well not completely anyway.
More he was thinking about his Mum and the conversation he'd had with her a couple of days ago, about why she hadn't gone and seen Uncle Kori this week.
The whole thing had been kind of.. Weird...
Almost as if, as if...
She didn't really want to talk about Uncle Kori.
Mum had seemed kind of nervous abpout something and when he'd pushed about Uncle Kori she'd gotten irritable which was even more weird since normally she tried to encourage him to go visit Uncle Kori.
Arian sighed. And he'd wanted to ask Mum about when she'd bought his lanturn, see if maybe she could tell him something before he tried asking at the shop... After all maybe she knew something - Miss Irisa had said that he should try looking at the source and since his Mum had bought the lanturn that meant she was kind of part of the source too wasn't she.
Wasn't she?
He wasn't sure what to think which is why he'd decided to go to Miss Irisa's coffee shop. Then he could buy one of her milkshakes and try and figure out something to do.

Mikomi was walking through the streets of the town, looking for something to occupy her time. Tayne was working at her job, all her plants were happy and watered without a weed in sight, and she could have sworn she had read every book in her house at least five times. Perhaps she could get something to eat...Tayne slept in later then usual and Mikomi hurried her off instead of her being late by making her lunch. She had been saving up anyway, if any reason to put something in her quaint little purse that Arian was kind enough to give her.
Eyeing the shops, she waited to see if any of the food providers caught her attention. Instead, the color of jade hair caught her eye. Exited eyes darted back and forth before she crossed the street.
"Arian!" she called. "Hey there Arian!"

Arian looked up, his emerald eyes kind of startled at the sound of his name, although he recognised the purple spirit soon enough. "Hi Mikomi," he smiled, although the smile wasn't quite his normal cheerful one. "How are you doing? Thanks for the presents you and Tayne got me for Christmas. I forgot to thank you for them last time I saw you."
Dimly a part of him wondered if she'd like the presents that he'd bought for her from a marketholder in the upper market district.
Another part of him felt distracted though, still caught between trying to puzzle out how to find out information on his lanturn as well as his Mum's weird behaviour.

The pale purple spirit smiled slightly and blushed. She was glad that Arian indeed liked his gifts.
"I'm glad you liked them Arian, and thank you for your gifts!" She turned a little bit to show him that she was using her change purse he had given her, then laughed slightly. "I'm having a bit of trouble with the paints though...I keep making it too watery and it goes right through the paper..." She laughed again, feeling rather stupid.
Looking at him though, she gad a feeling that something wasn't quite right. Perhaps it was that he didn't seem as chipper as he usually was, or perhaps it was that he didn't ask her any questions like he usually did, or it could even have been his eyes giving it away. Mikomi wasn't sure, but she was pretty sure that something was bothering her friend.
But she could be wrong too.
"Uhh..." she started, then looked to her feet for a moment, then looked back up at him again.
"Where are you headed?" There. Maybe if she waited a little she could tell for certain something was wrong.

For a moment Arian gave Mikomi a bright smile "You like them?" He noticed she was carrying the purse he'd bought for her to keep her money in. "I wasn't sure what to get you but the purse seemed pretty and it was purple so I thought you might like it and then he had some paints too so I bought them as well." He paused for breath before adding. "I'm glad you like them."
Mikomi was looking down at her feet when he'd finished and Arian wondered if was to do with something he'd said - maybe to do with what she'd said about having trouble with the paints, however the words out of her mouth wasn't what he was expecting.
"Umm, I was going to go to the coffee shop - the one that does the bana-type pie and get a banana milkshake from there." The smile was gone again. "The old lady there, her name's Miss Irisa - her banana milkshakes are really nice." The distracted look was back in his eyes, his tail twitching a little.

"Oh? I don't think I've been there..." Mikomi noted. It seemed like both of the spirits were feeling, out of place, or at least Mikomi did. Arian was obviously heading here by himself, and God forbid that she should intrude. Perhaps this Miss Irisa was nice and Arian wanted to talk to her. She didn't want to get in the way.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later then..." Arian was obviously deep in thought and Mikomi really didn't want to bother him any more then she needed to. "I hope you enjoy yourself at Miss Irisa's shop," she said truthfully and with a small smile. "Perhaps we can get together later!" and with that she turned to go on her way.

"Oh? Miss Irisa's really nice" Arian said in answer to Mikomi's comment of not being there. "She's really old though - much older than Mum is. Do you want to um come along with me?"
Maybe I can tell her about my dectective work... I could ask her about lanturns too. Maybe she knows something about them since she came from a lanturn like me...
He paused, the last of Mikomi's words filtering in around his thoughts - the sudden realisation catching him that she probably had things to do.
He looked down at his boots, the slight scuff marks on them suddenly very interesting - maybe inviting her was a bad idea - she looked kind of busy.
"Sorry, I hadn't realised you were busy. Getting together some time sounds fun though. Maybe you could come over to our new place some time. I could show you my new floating trees, since I've quite a few of them now.

"Busy? I'm not busy at all...it just seems..." She stopped a few moments. "Well it seemed like you were...and that you've been thinking...and some people like to think by themselves and I just thought..." She felt REALLY stupid now, and Arian probably thought that she was trying to avoid him, which she wasn't. She was just trying to help.
"...I'm sorry..."

"I'm not really busy either," Arian admited. "Normally today's a maths day, but Uncle Kori hasn't checked the last bit of work I did yet and I'm not going to ask Uncle Kori about it because he'll just be his usual mean self."
And I didn't want to ask Mum about it either as she's being so weird about Uncle Kori, but I don't know why. He added to himself mentally.
"I am going to think at Miss Irisa's though" he admitted to Mikomi. "But I don't mind if you come too - that is if you want to come. Miss Irisa's really is really nice."
He added quietly "And I kinda see you as one of my friends... Even though I only have two - you and Aikori." The words spoken were so quiet that they were almost a mumble.

"Okay...if you don't mind me being there..." Mikomi said with a very meek smile. She then laughed a little bit even though it felt a bit out of place.
"Math confuses me...I don't really get it at all..." she admitted. "I'm sure you're good at it though Arian. You're smart like that..." She walked up to him and smiled again, not really hearing his mumbles.
"And I'll be sure to keep quiet while you think..."

"Actually I hate Maths" Arian admited. "Especially fractions and stuff like that - which are really hard... Especially since Uncle Kori never explains anything." He started walking again in the direction of the cafe.
"And no I don't mind you being at Miss Irisa's with me. Why would I?" He was puzzled - after all if he didn't want Mikomi to come along he'd have told her he didn't want her to come, or told her that he was busy or something.

"Really? I'm surprised, but then again fractions are tricky..." she said somewhat quietly. "And your Uncle Kori still visits? I know you and your mum don't live with him anymore, so he must come by to see how you're doing with math...or doesn't he live all that far away?"

Arian frowned "It's not really that Uncle Kori visits us - more that we go visit him. Mum says we have to go because he'd get lonely being on his own, although he isn't really on his own because he has a boyfriend, although Mum's told me not to call him that and told me to keep away from him." The unicorn spirit paused for breath, wondering if he should tell Mikomi about the rest of it - about part of what was bothering him.
He saw Mikomi as a friend and friends were supposed to trust each other... Weren't they...
Weren't they?
But she'd never told him that they were friends and he hadn't asked her either.
But he'd kind of come to think of her as a friend, just like Aikori and him were friends... And...
"Mikomi are we friends?" He blurted out suddenly, speaking the question that was topmost on his mind.
Without realising it he'd stopped walking.

"Oh...I see..." she responded, going into a bit of thought.
Mikomi had kept on walking for a few moments, too full of though to have noticed that Arian's voice was fading ever so slightly. After a few steps she heard his question and in all honesty it worried her, though it didn't take much for her to get worried.
"I...I hope we are...I mean...I'd like us to be friends...I've only really talked to two people for long periods of time, you being one of them..." She paused for a moment. "And your mum and my mom seem to get along as well...it only make sence...I mean, that is if you want me to be your friend...I can understand if you don't though..." She cut herself off. She had a tendacy to ramble sometimes when she was nervous or upset. Right now it was a bit of both.
