Summertime [Open]

Zouichi sat by a the mirrored black water of a small pond. Nearby, a wisteria plant was coming into bloom, dangling its delicate, curved violet flowers toward the earth.

As promised, a tray of chilled watermelon slices was set to the side, near the wooden steps leading down to the garden and free for any passersby to take. For his part, however, Zouichi occupied himself with feeding a small group of googly-eyed baby goldfish, who darted back and forth through the water to gobble up stray flakes of fish food.

It was nice to take a break from exploding ghost wolves lions once in a while.

Zouichi hesitated for a moment. "Well, I think. Er, we broke up a little while ago, and I haven't seen much of her since."

"Nemo, huh? Perhaps I'll name one Captain Haddock." Twice the references, twice the fun.

"I like that idea!" They were going to have fishes with the coolest names ever.

His smile fell slightly when Zouichi mentioned that break-up. "Oh..." he trailed off. "Sorry. I didn't know." From Zouichi mentioning the possibility of asking her for help, though, it sounded like they did it on good terms, though? He didn't want to ask. Awkward.

THE BESTEST, COOLEST NAMES. Or perhaps just the dorkiest.

Zouichi shook his head. "No, it's all right. We're still friends. We just haven't really seen much of each other, what with Lirath and everything. It happens."

"Well that's good, at least. Hope you don't doubt your hunk levels any less!"

Yeah he just said that.

Zouichi began coughing suddenly at the unexpected remark, looking... well, kind of taken off guard.

"'Hunk levels'?" he managed.
