Wandering Around:

Flourite wasn't expecting to find Lexxion on the Gourmet Carriage some where on the upper decks. He would have gotten an enthusiastic greeting from youth if wasn't for the sight of his sewn up tongue. Had elder instructing Lexxion to open his mouth open while he reached for inner pockets of his Jacket. Taking out la small leaf that had colored barbs on its edges he ended up placing on stitches. Would end up slightly stinging when he started to mend the tongue making the orifice whole. Once more allowing youth to speak out no being able to fear of spitting a saliva/blood everywhere.

"Bit through your tongue,?" Flourite asked pressing a folded cloth to Lexxion's lips.

"..." Up and down went teen's head as he stared at Flourite.

"You going to tell me why?" He pulled the cloth away.

What he found was a thick string of white colored thread that was spun from fiber of Spuon Flower's stem. He would look at later when timid Lexxion standing on his tiptoes pushed out his hand. Before he knew it his own lips and youths connected in simple kiss that didn't last long between. Wouldn't have him pulling away when strong arms belong to Flourite entrapped the youth. Told Lexxion in now way was he getting away with pulling the stunt on his mother's employee.

"Took you long enough." Flourite held him in place.

"You knew..." Lexxion blushed openly.

"Your mother and me knew." He always-loved red tint of Lexxion's cheeks took on when he blushed.

He then gave the teen a quick squeeze in gentle matter glad to see him after being away from him for so long. Pleased his finished up Usako's ingredient list before last boarding for Gourmet Carriage happened. While the beasts he killed for her were delivered to her estate by friends of his. He was in the middle of hand bringing her arrangement of plants and Flora collected for her. These specific pieces of foliage were for a form of fragrances she wanted to show to IGO Researchers.

"With anyone?" Flourite noticed Lexxion was alone.

"No, I'm with Dad and mom's new friend." Lexxion remembered leaving them somewhere. "I left them some where near the Fiesta or Fête Decks"

"Meaning you wandered off again." Flourite strokes youth back.

Soothing matter he moved his hand relaxed teen enough to lean forward in men's arms to point he started to get dropsy. Too only is jolted wake when Flourite released him insisting he return to his chaperones. Not that Lexxion wanted to after spending half the day exploring the large ship with them. To only lose teen in process of learning the ins and out of large structure they are staying on. To only have his stomach do interrupted when loud growling came fourth.

"When was the last time you are something that was filling?" Flourite asked trying to fight back a smirk.

"I may have not eaten lunch and refused to have a snack Komatsu made." Lexxion whispered wanting his stomach to stop.

After receiving a kiss on his forehead from Flourite saying he couldn't stand how cute teen was getting. Two separate for a short while Flourite taking the teens hand with one of his own signing some. Before tugging at the hand he was currently holding insisting the youth get something into his stomach. Not that he was going to get a one-sided argument from someone willingly following him.

"Hope you like seafood?" Flourite asked Lexxion about buffet he was taking him to.

"I am not my mom." Lexxion never got over his mother's obsession with eatable marine life.

"Coming from someone who once state he like his mother Crocodile Shark Fin Stew and Roast Potato Eel dishes." Elder teased the teen.

Not that Lexxion wanted to come back with an insult for what was said about his favorite dishes Usako made for him. Due to his empty stomach distracting him from putting together a single sentence. When someone made he an offer of food he just confessed to through usage of kiss. Had him finding out a way of telling his father and Komatsu that his love interest was their age. Was going to be a challenged since neither one even knew or been informed Flourite was here.

"I thought you were on that Gourmet Hunt for mom?" Lexxion asked finally putting two and two together. "Being the reason I was left in dad's care."

"Let's talk after you got something in you." Flourite wasn't ready to talk.

He ended up leading Lexxion to an enclosed deck that had more of a dinning area environment. Allowing the youth to take a seat near one of the windows that gave they a look at passing landscape. Their eyes took in canyon pillar after raised formations of Earth after they sat. A waitress in a rushed matter asked what they wanted to drink before allowing them buffet table.

"I don't think we service that beverage." The waitress needed to check.

"I'm willing to wait." Flourite plenty folds his hands whole he reclines in his seat.

"One Mountain Spring Dew and if we don't have Leila Sap." Waitress hoped Flourite had another choice.

"Just plain Aqua Air." He waved her off.

This gave the elder a chance to ask Lexxion about any knowledge of his last relative or her usage of Battle Fragrance. Blinks he watched his table mate go through had him fighting back an urge to laugh. Moving on to reason behind he was on his way to same location had to come out sooner, or later.

"I was gathering newly discovered flora for new project your mother wanted to present to IGO researchers." Flourite reached into his jacket, and pulled out dried plants.

Ranged from white lily with tips of pedals dyed dark red to a brightly colored orchard missing a Stigma. They were safe to touch when Flourite could clearly see Lexxion wanted to lay a finger on them. He allowed since he treated each and every plant in removing their natural defensive as he showed the curious teen. Ready to answer any question he had to ask him about what he shared with him.

"I thought there were already fragrances that tamed Beasts." Lexxion grazed flowers.

"Yes, but your know your mother." Flourite sighed. "She always had to improve on existing ideal."

"Meaning?" Lexxion asking already knowing the answer.

"Shows that pretty brain she has is always working." Flourite tucked the plants back into inner pockets of his jacket. "Let's eat."

He was going to stay at their table to make sure no body stole their seats while Lexxion was off to eat something. Some what impressed the young man was able to pick foods that wouldn't activate his food allergy. Not that swelling of someone's tongue or fainting was ever never a welcoming explanation to strangers. Since the existence of Heavenly King's child had never been made public by any type of media. Leaving the elder and who ever teen was traveling with protective over him.

"Here." A plate was laid behind him.

Lexxion made sure to avoid getting shell fish for his own plate he set before his chair he would seat down on. Placing his hands together doing a small prey to thank Gourmet Gods for the meal he was about to eat. Would be enjoyed by him and his table mate discussing their aspiring relationship.

"Your farther may have already predicted this..." Flourite waved his eating utensil between them.

"May be why he allowed me to wander off with a wink thinking morning." Lexxion blushed.

"One down." Flourite reached for the teen's hands. "A few more to go."

Lexxion took the elder's hand willingly not caring if they got a few stares from others that passed them. Only have waitress carrying their drinks to their table to disrupt staring eyes of strangers. She repeatedly apologized for beign late with their order and offered not to have anything charged.

"Everything is fine." Flourite assured the stressed out girl.

"Good because one more slip up." She places their drinks down. "I am fired."

"I'll have a stern talk with your employ about him not firing you." Flourite was rather confident.

Way he treated the waitress didn't really bother Lexxion like it would any one else since he knew reason before this behavior. Being that the elder only used his charms to bed woman for reproductive reasons. Only a few females that Flourite would ever see, as an equal was woman he worked for, and certain others.

"I'll be seeing you." Lexxion decided it was time to leave.

He got a wave from him that he knew form witnessing many of Flourite flirting attempts

meant he see him later. Out the door of deck where buffet took place he would go pulling out his cellar device. Using the camera feature of his phone he would take a picture of swooning waitress falling for Flourite. Portrait he would end up sending to his mother with text saying another bites the dust.

"Better go find dad or Komatsu." He sighs knowing an answer from his mother wasn't coming right away.

Tucking his phone within pocket of whatever hoodie was wearing after setting the alarm for answer from his mom. He started off down the deck to the nearest stair well he would travel. To lower pairs of the Carriage where he last saw two people he was traveling early that day. Only he stopped in his tracks when a cluster of girls talked about a famous fortuneteller being near by. That they were going to meet with him and get their destiny told by him like others.

After pulling his hood on to block out his attention grabbing hair when he started to follow them. His ability to walk at fast pace and Life Erase technique he learned allowed him to go unnoticed. When he chased after the group of women excited to meet this fortuneteller they spoke of. Not that he has to travel far when he came face to face with a largest crowd of females whining over Coco.

" 'Matsu!" Lexxion spotted him in a corner. "You all right?"

Finding the chef off to the side staring at the forming crowd of woman didn't really bother Lexxion. Taking a seat near Komatsu and asking how long this been going on was the hard part. Komatsu hadn't greeted him or even say a single word to the teen when he sat right next to him.

"Hello!" He removes his hood.

He tried to wave his hand in front of chef's face to break whatever trance the guy fell into to some type of reaction. When that didn't happen for him right away he moved ever so close to Komatsu. Leaned side wards with his lips tightly closed toward an eat ready to speak as loudly as he could. Out his mouth he would scream BOOM watching Komatsu slight jump into he air by a few inches.

"Sorry." Lexxion pocketed his hands and leaned back on to the bench's backrest. "Not like any thing I tried worked."

"Glad to know." Komatsu needed to catch his breath.

"So..." Lexxion stared out.

On going questions about their futures while surrounding Coco was a sight that Komatsu still couldn't handle. Explaining to teenager about this had his stubbed when trying to find the right words. To only be put at ease and quieted when Komatsu was filled in by Lexxion's child hood.

"Men wanting to count her or just be with her always swarmed mom." He could recall the lucky few Usako dare say yes to. "After having me around never really repealed them."

"Any of them accept you?" Komatsu wandered if these men didn't mentally scar Lexxion.

"Only Flourite." Youth blushed.

He recalled that his mother and younger version of him went to LIFE for Spa vacation one year. Some how Usako meant a broken saiseiya whose family was wiped out completely a pack of Troll Kongs. He had lost his purpose from what his mother could surmise after night spent in his arms. Ended with him being hired by Usako as care taker of her estate and her personal Bishokuya.

"He's become apart of our family over the years." Lexxion sighed. "Lately he's been trying to re-build his...family..."

Bringing up the means Flourite had been using to re-create the lost aspect of his long since decease family. That being children he once called his own to care and raised beside his lost wife. Any attempts so far always ended with miscarriages or still birth always left Flourite crushed when informed.

"WAIT!" Komatsu noticed Lexxion was talking clearly.

Lexxion finally stuck out his tongue to show his father's handy work in sewing up his bite wound was mended. Blood soaked thread would be handed to Komatsu by Lexxion straight form his pocket.

"Thank a plant called Attached Thorn." Lexxion recalled the name of the leaf used.

"He's here?" Komatsu points around them.

"When you work for my mom." Lexxion messed with his tongue. "You're at her beck and call."

In no way was teen looking forward to meeting his the last of his so-called relatives in form of Rin.
