Day 21: Prolix


"Ami, you are so dull sometimes. You are one of my best friends, and I love you, but I can't even enjoy my drink with you yammering like that." Sky blue eyes glared daggers at deeper cobalt ones. The latter girl just shrugged and tucked one escaped blue curl back behind her ears.

"Well, as the person most in charge of the welfare of our monarchs, I thought you should know about my new idea."

"Ami, wonderful as your idea is, are you sure the right place to discuss it is at the club after we've just finished our last university exams ever?" Brown curls bounced as their owner shook her head in exasperation. "I'm with Minako. Call a meeting for tomorrow or something." She toyed with her newly delivered drink, having seemingly forgotten it was even there.

"Sorry Ami, but I don't think you'll be able to make them see sense right now. It's probably best to leave it for tomorrow anyway." Amused violet eyes rested briefly on the genius before moving to the yet-to-speak odango'd blonde next to her. "Don't you get on her case too. Let's go dance, Odango Atama."

Their blonde leader perked up at this, and excitedly grabbed her look-alike to drag up on the floor as well. The human chain extended to include Makoto, but Ami was able to avoid it as her friends plied onto the floor, followed closely by Haruka and Michiru, as their favourite song had just started.

Raising her eyebrows, Ami turned to the last member of the group, a tall, quiet, reserved lady with long greenish-black hair. Setsuna just smirked back at her. "I knew you were going to scare them off, and had a word with the DJ just now. You're not getting rid of me. Cronus only knows what you'll get up to if you down all eight drinks before the song's over."

Ami laughed, her head thrown back in abandonment. "My thanks." She pushed Rei's bottlecap over to her companion while raising Usagi's screwdriver in salute.

Setsuna smiled her secretive grin. "To prolix, and getting four drinks for the price of one."

Ami smirked back at her. "Maybe for you. I ordered a water."


Prolix: Extending to great length; unnecessarily long; wordy.

I wasn't confident in my ability to use it in a sentence from what was given for examples. Instead, you get it like this.
