Still in her flower costume, she headed over to the main stage.

It was Friday tomorrow, meaning a busy weekend for the casts of both Dracula and the Kids' Stage. She stretched her arms above her head as she walked. Got one long shift tonight. Her breath came out in an overly extended sigh.

If only the prices for the toys hadn't gone up…

She shook the thought away from her head. There was no use in thinking like that. If she wanted to keep having toys for after the Dracula shows, it was a necessity—simple as that. She decisively nodded to herself.

Steady steps were behind her; she didn't have to turn around to see who it was.

His eyes had followed her progression until he deemed that he should move himself.

He was not worried of losing sight of her. With that red hair and then the combination of her sunny yellow and orange flower getup, it was rather difficult to not see her. No, he took his time coming to her because he knew that she was waiting for him to approach.

Perhaps subconsciously done, but he noted that she had slowed her walking pace when he had yet to come to her. The thought pleased him far more than it should have, but he was starting to not care about analyzing why he felt the things he did.

He was enjoying their little exchanges as of late.

The flash of fire in her eyes, the new tones of voice that he had yet to hear her use with other people, and then the somewhat subtle ruffling of her hair as she passed him by in order to make the smell of vanilla float into the air.

"Did you lose your way to the bathroom?" she wirily intoned without turning around.

A half smirk appeared on his face. "That's not why I'm here."
