Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

As Madame Naoki steps over the threshold to enter the shop, a soft smile spreads across her face. People react to Madame Naoki in different ways. Most bow, or nod, show respect before addressing her formally, and politely say what the have to say. On the street, where some might now know her, they might ogle her, perhaps make some offhand remark. But this was new. Nobody blushed, or got flustered to such a degree. It was a wholly different type of respect than the sort Naoki was used to; and she kinda liked it.
Once inside, Madame Naoki doffs her hat, revealing her ears, and takes a moment to look around. So this was Kate’s passion. Naoki had never seen quite so many varieties of plants and greenery in one place. Everywhere she turned, more and more types and colors. Her mouth gapes slightly as she gazes around.
Some of the plants she recognized; a small pot of basil, a rose bush. Others, she couldn’t even begin to place. Some sort of blue bulbous thing, and that one looked like something indecent. To Naoki, Green’s Greens had a very unique feel about it, unlike anywhere else she had been. Exotic and whimsical, yet also warm and welcoming.
“This is quite the shop you have, Kate. Amazing.”
Remembering her plan, Naoki takes the wrapped parcel from under her right arm, and proffers it to Kate.
“I came to return your things, and… to... “
Naoki stumbles. She hadn’t rehearsed this part.
“toooo… see how you were doing! Yes, clearly. You seemed pretty upset yesterday, I thought I should come see… how you’re... faring...”
In much the same way Naoki could deliberately interfere with the mental processes of others by modifying her body language and enunciation, speaking with Kate seemed to have this disruptive effect on Naoki herself, even though Kate wasn’t likely consciously attempting to have this effect.
It felt odd, not being able to find the words. So often she was the affector, but never the affectee.

Artemis chortles inwardly as Naoki stumbles over her words. She's sure laying it on thick this morning. I'll have to make sure to rib her about it later, that's too good a chance to pass up. "K-kate, how... are... you today?" Heh.
She sneaks a sideways glance at the duo out of the corner of her eye. It's certainly effective, though. The minx's skills are never dull.

Clothes and Equipment: She wears a pink apron on her that has a simple square pattern. Underneath, brownish green pants and a black tube top. Many tools, such as a flower shovel, a small rake and a spray bottle, fit inside her pockets. A large red ribbon complements her hair.
When she was working at the Midnight Sun, she replaced her red ribbon with a black one she was gifted when she first joined. She also had a green dress, gifted to her by Naoki.
After being gone away for a long time, she has since expanded her wardrobe, and tends not to think about her clothes too much and follows whatever trends Naoki says are popular now.

Kate smiled gleefully as she received the package. "Oh, thank you so much...” She dropped it gently on the floor and slid it away with her foot. She almost immediately regretted that, because now that the business was done, there was nothing between them. When Naoki asked her about the funeral, Kate felt like she was being roasted on a pyre, despite her adorable stumbling in words.
“Well, umm that was…” Kate felt awkward about what happened. How am I supposed to tell her why I did it? I don’t completely understand it myself! “I was just… mad that he was… skipping… work…” What!? Really, Katelyn?!
“Mmm. But I’m allright now.” Kate smirked. Naoki looked so beautiful in that blue dress. Amidst the flowers she looked like a goddess of a river. Kate wanted to hold her hand so badly, but saw a glimpse of Artemis in the jungle, watching them. Also, I’m still open. Control your hormones, woman!
Kate itched just a tad closer and spoke softly, looking up at her. “You haven’t been here before, right?” Her heart was beating like a jungle drum.
“Do you want me to show you around..?"

The mirth that has been building inside Artemis since her arrival finally becomes too much to bear. Despite her attempts to suppress it, a snort escapes her. She masterfully masks the sound under a sneeze that could be attributed to the pollen in the air, and mercilessly beats down any further noise. She turns to another shelf, looking away from the duo in an attempt to hide the facial twitching caused by her stifled laughter.

Madame Naoki exhales sharply, maintaining eye contact.
“He did skip work, didn’t he? I don’t think his contract includes days off to be dead.”
That was the end of the part she hadn’t rehearsed. From here, she felt confident things would play into her hands. Kate was getting embarrassed, though. That wasn’t the atmosphere Naoki wanted. She recovers her confidence of speech, and continues.
“Yes, that would be great. But first, there’s something else you need to do.”
The words hang in the air for a moment, as her eyes sweep around once more, for a final check. There didn’t seem to be anyone else in the shop, and the door was still shut soundly.
With a decisive step forward, Naoki closes the final few inches between them, wrapping Kate in her arms.
She whispers a single word on a single breath: “Relax.”

"MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmh..." Surprised, Kate first tensed up as Naoki wrapped her around her arms. She quickly felt the tension easing, when she felt her touch and smelt her perfume. Kate felt as if her feet were being swept away by some incredible force, which made her cling onto Naoki even tighter.
Last time, it was she who came to Naoki. Now, the cat-lady seemed perfectly capable of acting on her own. Kate was happy about that.
Kate pressed against Naoki, and breathed heavily, feeling the last ounces of any embarrassment escape her body. She closed her eyes and listened to Naoki's breathing, mixing in with her own.
"Naoki..." She whispered. "I've missed you…” At this point, she didn’t really care if someone walked in. Let them stare, she thought.

Over the years, Naoki had heard many people say the words “I’ve missed you.” A fake smile, a siren’s embrace, and she would parrot the words back to them, meaning none of it. Manipulation was her business, and emotional attachment was simply a tool of the trade.
“I missed you too.”
As the words slip past her lips, Naoki comes to a realization. She wasn’t feigning her emotions at all. She wasn’t hugging Kate to manipulate her feelings, or whispering sweet nothings in an attempt to get Kate to grow some exotic plant. She could have chosen to send Artemis to return Kate’s clothes, but she chose to do it herself. She could have opted to contact Kate through her Cat’s Paw, or see her the next time she came to tend the garden, but she took time out of her busy schedule to spend it with Kate.
There was something very different here, a nuance to this relationship that she had never felt before. Naoki squeezes tighter, embracing the change, and whatever it might bring.
Tender moments pass. Naoki releases the hug, and beams at Kate. “Now, how about that tour?”

Kate wipes her eye with the side of her hand. Maybe it was okay that I didn’t wear any makeup after all… She returns Naoki’s smile with one twice as wide.
“Okay!” Her voice cracks into laughter as she tugs Naoki by the arm, to follow her deeper into the room. She felt like she was walking on air, head above the clouds. A spontaneous hum sprung from her lungs as they walked
Their first sight wasn’t that far away from the entrance. She walked in a brisk and carefree manner, until stopping by the three different-coloured bushes by the windowsill. “I’m not entirely sure what the green and blue do.” She pointed at the bushes as she spoke.
”Buuut… The red one seems to work as a sort of an aphrodisiac. When I gave it to some squirrels on my backyard, well… I chose to give them some privacy.”
Kate tapped her lips thoughtfully before she continued. “I found a buyer for them recently, I best save some seeds. For business and… You know...” She giggled.
“How are things back at the Sun? How are everyone? Reese? The twins from the funeral?” She kept her tone playful and casual, to avoid ruining the mood.

As Kate mentions the properties of the red bush, Madame Naoki’s mouth forms a small ‘o’. She could think of countless uses for such a plant. It probably wouldn’t be needed with Kate, but still. Countless uses.
From around her waist, she unties her shawl, allowing her tail to stand upright, unimpeded and unconcealed. A breath of relief accompanies this motion.
“Oh, you know... Fine, I’m sure.”
She pauses, wrapping the shawl around her shoulders.
“To be honest, I haven’t really spoken with anyone much since yesterday. I’m sure they’re all fine, though. There’s not any reason for them to be upset anymore, is there?”
A hint of her earlier frustration creeps into her voice, and she changes the subject. It’d be a cold day in Hell before she let that madman infringe, even indirectly, on this moment.
“Hired a new employee the other day, though. I don’t believe you’ve had the pleasure. Mr. Ulciscor; he’s our new chef, very interesting fellow. Once he’s settled in, I suspect he will have a list of ingredients he’ll need.”

Kate promptly forgot all the worry she previously had of the rest of the staff. Her eyes lit up as she let out a high pitched squeal. "A chef! How wonderful! Is he good? I know I might have some things he could be interested in. For example..."
Kate points to a huge red bud on the roof, jumping enthusiastically. "I'm sure that would make an superb marinade. A top chef... It's been so long I've eaten anything processed... Do you think he could make us dinner?"
Kate embraced the idea wholeheartedly and started listing things she'd like for the dinner. "Some chicken, marinaded in honey... Garlic... Fried potatoes for sides, and, most importantly, Medanese Gold! On your expense, naturally."
Should Naoki react shocked to Kate's suggested beverage, this would laugh and hit her on the shoulder, to show that she was merely jesting.
Kate looks at Naoki teasingly. "No but really, we should do something like that..." She would proceed to hold Naoki's hand, gently persuading her.

Madame Naoki adopts an expression of mock annoyance and scoffs.
"You’re two steps ahead; it takes all the fun out of asking you do it for me. That’s how I planned to conclude the date I was just about to ask you on: with you, me, and a scintillating dinner. And I don't mean just in reference to the food.”
Naoki meets Kate’s eyes, and grasps her hands in her own.
“So. Have anything planned today?”

Kate gasps when she hears of Naoki's plans for today. Just for me?! Oh you silly kitty... "Well, I am my own employer so I'm allowed to skip work every now and then." She giggles.
"The carrots can wait. What have you planned?" A large shadow casts over the two, as the clouds make ways for the sunlight. Kate glances at the sunflower far above their heads, throwing the shadow.
Dad, meet Naoki. It's thanks to her patronage that we can stay here. She's someone very special to me, so I hope you two get along.
"If we are going out then I'm going to change. Can you wait tw- five minutes?" Kate is positioning herself towards the back room, and should she be given a "yes", she would scoot into the storage and make the world record for the fastest dress up.

Naoki too, glances upwards at the sun as it continues its journey across the sky unobscured. In a few short hours, it would be time for lunch.
“I think that our first stop could be the grand bazaar; to do some shopping, and assemble a picnic basket. With that basket, we could leave the city, and go have a picnic somewhere. Then we would have some time to spend before returning for dinner.”
Naoki speaks with her hands and a slightly more businesslike manner as she illustrates the proposed schedule, motioning with her hands to mimic the travel she’s referring to. When Kate mentions changing, she nods in acknowledgment and agreement.
“Alright. Take your time; I’m not in any rush.”
Naoki decides it wouldn’t be a good idea to explore the store any further herself, so she opts to lean against one of the nearby structural pillars, holding her hat in her hands, where she will wait until approached.

Beaming, Kate returns with her head held high, wearing the green dress she was gifted. Holding the hem up, she managed to return without soiling the dress in the muck of the floor. The rips she had gotten were sewn close, and wouldn't be prominent.
Her hair was tied with the ribbon she was given, forming a ponytail that was tucked under the string to hold it in place. Her hair seemed to be more controlled and flowing in one direction. She had also slipped on the silver ring on her left hand pinky. Most of everything she had on her, was given by Naoki.
Kate smirked slyly. "You know, I never been to the bazaar before... Isn't that silly. I've been so busy I haven't had any time to go shopping!" Kate slid her fingers through Naoki's, nonchalantly. She tried to make it coolly but it still gave her shivers and some rose on her cheeks. "Sh- Shall we?"
She notices Artemis sneaking in the bushes. "Are you comin' too? Is she coming too?" The last part was a whisper, directed at Naoki.

Artemis turns to Kate, and gives her a small bow. "I will be coming along, to provide security." She smirks lightly. "Never fear, I know how to stay out of sight and out of mind, and give you two your privacy. Unless worst comes to worst, you won't even notice I'm there, unless you specifically require me."
A small part of Artemis's mind lets out a silent squeeee. Kate looked quite good in her new dress, and the bashful nature of her actions was sinfully cute. This was going to be one of her more enjoyable experiences shadowing one of Naoki's "dates".

Madame Naoki nods, affirming what Artemis said.
“It wouldn’t be safe to perambulate all about the city by ourselves. There’s bound to be some poor, lowlife lot that would kill for the chance to get their hands on you.“
She flashes Kate another lecherous gaze, before returning to her more serious tone.
“Or me, or my purse, for that matter. The two of us alone would make an excellent target for thieves, muggers and the like.”
With her left hand occupied holding Kate’s, Naoki’s bandaged right hand waves about, providing emphasis to her words.
“If you’d rather not Artemis come for whatever reason, that’s fine, I could get someone else, and I don’t think she’d take offense. However, Artemis is, without a doubt, the most qualified to be our shield. We will be able to peruse the bazaar to our heart’s content without a second thought towards our safety; I trust Artemis with my life, and much more.”
There is an awkward pause, as Naoki realizes what meaning Kate might derive from her choice of phrasing. In an attempt to glaze over the moment, she continues speaking, and begins moving towards the door.
“Anyway; let’s get going, shall we?”
<If no one else would like to post, consider this “Exits to Grand Bazaar”>

Hasdrubal enters the shop, but finding no one there, he leaves a small vase on the doorstep. A single flower is set inside the vase. It is roughly three inches across, Bone white and exuding a faintly sweet, musty odor. The petals are ephemeral, almost ghostly in their transparency. The stem is thin and pitch-black The exceptionally knowledgeable would identify it as the "Hangman's Bromeliad", an exceptionally rare flower that grows only in the bodies of the recently hanged.
A small note is written in elegant script, and tied to the vase.
"For my douce fleur. -H"

"Hello?"

Kate Green
Dedicated
Assessing the damage w/ Naoki
Roleplay posts: 309
Age: 19
Physical Description: Kate is built slenderly, but working in her gardens and on the field has defined her muscles. Her eyes shine with an amber hue and her silvery hair never seems to get dirty from the work she still insists on doing herself.
(Full Sized image: http://imgur.com/bJTWavF)
Clothes and Equipment: She wears a pink apron on her that has a simple square pattern. Underneath, brownish green pants and a black tube top. Many tools, such as a flower shovel, a small rake and a spray bottle, fit inside her pockets. A large red ribbon complements her hair.
When she was working at the Midnight Sun, she replaced her red ribbon with a black one she was gifted when she first joined. She also had a green dress, gifted to her by Naoki.
After being gone away for a long time, she has since expanded her wardrobe, and tends not to think about her clothes too much and follows whatever trends Naoki says are popular now.
Player's online availability : Consistently inconsistent

Kate entered her floral shop, curiously eyeing the plant she found on the doorstep. The color and smell would suggest a Worry-Wilfred, but the petals…
”Where did this come from? H? I don’t know any… Ugh.”
Kate crumbles the paper on her hand and tosses the bundle into a rubbish bin to keep company to the myriad of ”LAST WARNING”-letters. She gives it a spiteful glare and makes a mental note to take out the trash first thing tomorrow. The flower she would put on display for the low low price of ”Comes free with any purchase of fertilizer!”
She would freeze on the spot at the sight of Garo. Kate's reaction was nothing short of cartoony, as she stopped in the middle of her course to the back room. Her amber pupils widened as she swiftly took control of the situation.
Did I not flip the sign? I did not flip the sign. Bugger.
She assessed the situation while staring blankly at the customer. Now, the reasonable source of action would be to serve him with the best of her abilities. Even if her green night dress made her seem anything but professional.
”W- Welcome!” Kate bowed hastily. ”I- I hope you weren’t waiting for long. I was… Having lunch!”
Smooth. Didn’t even have to lie!

Hasdrubal slips inside through the still unlocked door.
"My sweet flower! Are you home?"
