» OPTION A - CHRISTMAS TREE ENTS «
[Walking, giant trees...is something he's seen and fought before so even though they are clearly peaceful, the idea of maybe trying to get into a fight with one comes to mind.... But he's going to be on good behavior and help with the decorating instead. Plucking off one of the strange egg shaped ornaments, he can't help but turn it in his hand curiously.]
So... We sure nothing is going to come out of these things? What would happen if I tried to boil it? Or maybe cut it...
[The tree ent overhears this and starts shaking its branches in displeasure, and the egg also starts making a weird sound that's something like alarm, so he quickly tries to retract.]
I'm not, I'm not, don't worry.
[...Said with a gaze that he's still thinking about it.
Anyway, after hanging one he takes some of that holly leaf garland and looks at whoever's house he happens to be at.]
So where should I hang this? I can climb up to the very top of the tree if you want it.

» OPTION B: GIFTING SWORDS «
[Not real ones.
Rokurou can be found sitting on the ground with a pile of small wooden swords scattered about him. They all have different shape and design, and while he can't create the swords from scratch, he's at least developed his dreamotion ability enough that when he holds a plain wooden sword, he can channel an idea and emotion to produce something actually tasteful. From simple symbols down the blade to adding a bit of color to the hilt. Since these are essentially "toy" swords he's not going too far out, but it would make any young swordsman like it better than a plain one.
Holding one up and pleased by the simple yet elegant black lines curving around the hilt, he voices his thoughts allowed.]
Heh, any kid will like this. But I wonder if I should try altering the shape next... These are all simple wooden practice swords, but what if I tried to make them different like curved blades or different knives and daggers? That would make me one step closer in creating my own swords, right?
[Or so he hopes and he just hums as he continues.
By the way, the number of swords around him are likely nearing a hundred someone please stop him.]

» OPTION C: ICE FISHING «
[Fishing is another one of Rokurou's pasttimes and he is quick to set out to try his luck at the lake. After finding a spot and cutting through the ice, he sets his pole in place and sits, a cup of sake in hand.
However, instead of a nice relaxing day of fishing, he has to drop everything and hop up when the line suddenly reels out and the pole threatens to break as it bends towards the water]
Whoa—!
[Good thing he set up a brace as he drops to his knees and tries to pull the pole back while reeling the line in. Even so, he just grins.]
Heh, don't think I'll let you get away!
[Oh he's definitely fired up!!! ...Which may not actually be a good thing as he's on ice and usually his high spirited emotions tend to raise up the temperature. Even now, steam is starting to rise up from the ice's surface.]

» OPTION D: GUMDROPS «
[It can happen anywhere. In town, out in the fields, at the lake when he's fishing—wherever it is the gumdrop will strike and now Rokurou and his unfortunate partner must find a way out of it.
Fluff and Mistlefoe are preferred, though will do shippy ones with those who ask!]

laenavesse!]
no subject
Whoa, wait, Serah—!
[Annnnnd now he can't move away from her.
WHAT IS GOING ON and why does he feel weird.]
no subject
Uhh—
[Gonna... try to let go of his hands but she can't?! What in Etro's name—]
I thought there might be mistletoe or something near us since in Verens it makes people stick to one place but... [?????? THIS AIN'T IT, CHIEF, it's not mistletoe.] I don't see any that would make that effect—
[Pausing, she catches sight of something pink and cute on his shoulder before it grins at her and ducks behind his hair to staaaaaare. Grinning? WHY IS IT GRINNING..... why does she have a bad feeling about this?]
no subject
[...Why did he glance her way when he said "kiss," dammit. And why is she blushing why is it kind of cute—!? But her uneasy expression helps break his thoughts as he tries to glance over his shoulder where she had been looking.]
...What? Did you see something?
no subject
[She catches sight of the gumdrop slug who now has two little ragdolls(???) and is... making them kiss, but...]
I-it's... something on your shoulder, maybe what got us stuck here. [the gumdrop nods enthusiastically, definitely making a NOW KISS motion with a mischievous little chuckle. Serah is definitely now more pink than her hair, thanks gumdrop.] It... wants us to...
[SHE CAN'T SAY IT.]
no subject
What the—a flying pink slug? Is that's what making me feel like—
[Her words echo in his mind and now it all finally clicks.]
....Ah. I see...
[WELL THEN. While not flushing, he does feel a bit awkward.]
You know we don't have to.
[Oh that gumdrop looks displeased, but he really isn't keen on forcing something onto Serah especially when she's, you know, spoken for.]
no subject
Hnnngh.]
No, it— it's fine. It's not saying how we should... you know...
[...
Just gonna. Turn her cheek to him and taps it.]
I'll do the same for you, but maybe this will be enough?
[If not on his side, her side for Rokurou would likely be enough for the gumdrop who is watching, eyes narrowed, to see if it can at least get this from them, like a ravenous little shipper.]
no subject
All right, this shouldn't be too hard.
[Even if he...still feels a bit weird about it. But it's only because he's thinking too much! And that's not something he should be doing so he just clears his head, takes a breath and—ah damn he has hold her shoulders because she is so short why is she so short— There's another brief hesitation before he leans in for a quick peck on the cheek.
...
.....
Yeah that's not so bad.
But the gumdrop doesn't seem that thrilled given all the lack of emotion from his end.]
no subject
...thoughts for later, as she sees how unhappy this gumdrop slug looks at the lack of fuwa fuwa doki doki feelings and emotions that are happening. She certainly has her work cut out for her, doesn't she?]
See? That wasn't too bad. Your turn.
[With him, though, she'll treat him as if he were the Rokurou from Verens. The air around them gets warmer for a moment when she reaches up to cup one of his cheeks in her palm, planting a soft peck to his daemonized side once she's pulled him in before releasing him.
But was that enough for this gumdrop who was building a ship to sail?!]
no subject
But alas—]
...The slug still looks unhappy.
[—a chance glance at the gumdrop just shows a giant pout. It did get some nice fuzzy warm feelings from Serah, but... It's not enough!!!]
no subject
[There's a smile when she says that, trying to placate him. It's not as if she's... doing something with someone not Rokurou, it's Rokurou just... one that has no memory of her. But that would make things more awkward, probably. So, she looks at the slug, frowning.]
So what is it you want us to do? You probably got enough from me, do you need something from Roku, too?
no subject
Wait—seriously? So it wants a real kiss.
[...
........]
Honestly it's not me you have to worry about. I'll roll with whatever, but you're uh...
[Practically married to someone right???]
no subject
[Plus it's him anyway??? Verenskuro would probably laugh it off... probably. Before getting jealous it wasn't HIM, but. It is.
... yeah she's just gonna believe he'd be like "eh it's me" with an eyebrow waggle like he do. She smiles sincerely at him now, as brightly as possible to hopefully make him feel less... weird.]
So don't worry if I'll be weird over it, I'll be all right.
no subject
...I guess if I were in his shoes I'd be the same. Short of trying to kill it, of course.
[He'd still try. But if this is some weird curse, maybe not the best idea... The few but important times he can actually use his brain to realize things like this. So he looks back over at her, still a little uncertain before he lets out a small breath in defeat.]
Think a quick one will do?
[Said with a half grin.]
no subject
[It... kind of is??? SO maybe framing it like that will get some kind of emotion in there.
...
Probably the fighting kind, so hopefully the slug is ready for battle-like emotions from Rokurou if that's the kind of emotions he puts out.]
no subject
I don't think that'll work, but nice try.
[But...all right. Let's do this.
Stepping closer, he tentatively puts his hand on her cheek. He still feels a little weird... Really it's because of that knowledge that she's actually with someone, and daemon though he may be, he still has a few morals left. But since they're stuck like this and she seems...surprisingly cool with it, it should be fine, right? Whether he can satisfy the dumb slug is a different matter, but here goes.
He'll lean in and lightly brush her lips with his, a soft, almost respectful touch.]
no subject
Well, whatever, he's putting some effort into it, and that's what matters here. The slug is watching them with eyes narrowed, waiting for a burst of... something. Some sort of fuwa fuwa energy. When Rokurou puts his hand on her cheek, she glances down at it, and back to him. Nervousness? Kind of. After all, this Rokurou didn't know her.
When his lips touch her own, she flinches, as if not actually expecting him to go through with it, but here they are. It doesn't take long for a burst of flowers, pink blooms and higanbanas, to burst around her. ...embarrassing, since why would that happen, but also... it felt nice.
But the question is, will the slug let Rokurou go after this? She doesn't mind it, but she certainly doesn't want to be awkward around him!]
no subject
That's when he feels that strange thump of his heart, an odd ripple in the air as he stares at her a little dumbfounded. Perhaps there could have been more, but the gumdrop is going to have to cut him some slack—feeling emotions is a bit difficult for him at the moment! But there was definitely something there, and there's a little bit of the "warm fuzzies" coming from him.
And when he realizes he's staring, he hastily pulls back even farther, clearing his throat as he glances away to the side, suddenly self-conscious.]
Hopefully that'll, uh, do it.
[It's fine, it's fine, as long as he doesn't resent him or something it's fine!!
And the gumdrop...would have liked more, but given that at least something finally appeared and Serah clearing giving enough fuwa fuwa feelings for the both of them, it finally accepts the "tribute." With a "wheee!" it circles around them, nomming on that delicious emotion energy before it finally frees them from that binding spell and floats merrily away to try and capture more unsuspecting couples.]
no subject
...just from another world. It's fine. It's all fine. There's a laugh as he pulls back and seeming to be flustered. Gosh he's cute, even here! Seeing the slug let out a cheer, circle around them eating up all of the flowers and warm fuzzy fuwa fuwa doki doki feelings.]
Looks like you're saved from having to feel too much, Roku. Sorry I got you trapped here with me, but you're definitely not the worst person to be trapped with.
no subject
[Seriously, he just can't really wrap his head around how...chill she is about all this?? But, well, probably better than her being so repulsively offended. And he's not even going to think about that weird feeling from before. Just didn't happen nope.]
And I hate to uh, kiss and run, but we should probably head inside or something before another one of those come back.
no subject
Don't worry too much about it. But... yeah, I don't really want to get stuck by another one— that might be a little too weird if that happens.
[At least it wasn't mistletoe. This time.]
Though maybe we should hold off on coffee with alcohol for you until they're gone, huh...? I don't need them popping up in your drink or something either.
no subject
Hah, fair enough. Rain check on that coffee then? Just be careful you don't get caught with someone else.
