Completed [The Prairie] Tea Time (Elaine)

[Fubuki Kouri]

The ghost girl gave Elaine a small smile when the taller girl confirmed that the world might become good, it was relieving to hear that she wasn't the only one with the same outlook. This world was petched up, but that didn't mean one should just accept it. Kouri nuzzled her head at Elaine's shoulder, seeking warmth even though both of them were ghosts, she didn't hear about Elaine's soft mutter.

"I see, uhm, what was his name?" The younger ghost innocently tilted her head, curious about this canine companion of Elaine's. Due to the circumstances of her death, she abhorred cats to a murderous degree, but she didn't mind dogs, in fact, she would love to have one. It was just that dogs often barked and snarled at her save for one exception, Akilia the Kelvic's pet, unfortunately, Kouri hadn't seen her since a long time ago. Speaking about Elaine's dog geared the conversation's topic about the past, the phantom girl became curious about Elaine's, of course.

"Uhm, big sis," Kouri's crimson eyes looked away as she fidgeted with her dress ribbons, then she mustered her courage to look back at Elaine, giving her an awkward smile, "What was your, uhm... 'life' before this? I mean... b-before y-you become like m... me," She was nervous, she wasn't fond of speaking about her own grisly past yet she was curious about others, "I-it's okay if you don't want to tell me though..." If Elaine wasn't willing, Kouri would accept but then she would feel guilty, but if she didn't ask, her childish curiosity would kill her.

To be fair, the ghost girl supposed she could tell about her own as a compensation, "If you'd like, I..." She struggled to keep herself from crying, powerful and ferocious in power, she was still very much a child, "I can tell you about mine..."

She was hesitating for a moment. She had to lie again, she had to come up with a name. But it was easier than explaining her whole life to a little girl she didn't know. It's better that way. "Erm.. He was.. he was..Alfred, Alfred." The first name which came to her mind. Even though her face twicthed by the name. That bastard. She should have haunted him for some days while she was in Zeltiva.

But her next question was also disturbing. What was her life before this. Should she be honest or again lie. She hardly stopped. "Boring. Lifeless. That was my life before this." And with that she said the truth. She didn't tell her exact life, but how she saw it now. "Then my life somehow started with my death. How ironic. First I met a soul named Noaru then I went to Ravok where... where it really started."

Of course by that thought Clyde came to her mind, which made her smile. "Yeah it could be worse, but it was meant to be happen I guess... Well how about you? What kind of life you had?" She asked it cheerfully, like it was a funny, happy storytelling thing. When she realized what she asked. Her face changed. "I mean. Never mind..." YOU IDIOT! She thought.

[Fubuki Kouri]

The ghost girl was still very much an innocent child, at least in demeanor, but her mind was fractured and unpredictable, fueled by her ethereal state and the horror-filled experiences she had to endure, from Syliras, Sunberth, to Sahova. Kouri noticed that Elaine was struggling to answer the name of her dog, that was odd, if she liked her pet so much, Elaine should remember about him, just like how Kouri could remember her parent's name in the back of her head, "I see..." She decided to let it be though, she respected Elaine as an older sister figure and as such, she didn't dare to prod further.

Kouri's heart sank a bit when Elaine explained about her previous life, perhaps Elaine was even more miserable than her, at least Kouri had a good life... until the day where the tiger took her life. She just kept silent and nodded as Elaine explained, however, her features suddenly contorted into a startled surprise then a look of pure unadulterated hatred upon hearing the name of that black spirit, "Noaru..." Her blood-red eyes were opened wide, her pale lips curled into an insane grin, "Ha... hahahaha... ehehehahahaha~" Childish rage and sadistic urges clouded her mind as Kouri held the sides of her head with both of her hands, high-pitched giggles echoed in the Prairie, "Noaru, huh... Noaru..." She mumbled the cursed spirit's name, the spirit who dared to intervene on her playtime and helped a Knight to stab her with his sword, the spirit who betrayed her.

"Big Sis, big sis~" Kouri clasped her hands behind her back as she suddenly went eerily cheerful, the daggers buzzing angrily around her, "If you... find this Noaru, tell me where he is, okay?" Kouri widened her grin, revealing her ethereal white teeth, "I want to play with him." Elaine might not know about the black spirit's foul deeds, how poor of the girl, she didn't want Elaine to experience the same steely fate, she would protect big sis, no matter what.

"Hm?" As soon as it came, she dropped the subject, along with her malice, in an instant when Elaine asked about her life. "Ah..." Kouri was usually hesitant to talk about her past, heck, she even went berserk a couple of times, but those were behind her, she would have to accept them sooner or later, "W-well uhm..." Kouri put her hans near her chest as she exhaled a misty white breath, "I was a Vantha..." She began her story, "I'm uh... a Snowsong, I'm a singer, Papa and Mama loved me very much, t-then uhm... one day, when we were traveling, a-a... tiger... k... killed us." She decided to cut her story short, it was painful, "T-that's all... I uhm... I'm tired, Big sis," She didn't want to be in Elaine's presence for now, not that she hated the girl, she just couldn't, "I want to go home, I... I hope you find your friend soon and uh... perhaps we can play again," Kouri waved her hands as she turned around then began floating to the Citadel, "Bye-bye..."

OOCAlright! I think your last post should end it, Elaine. You can post it for grading or you can PM me then I will post it.

Of course, if you want to continue, I'm game as well!

[Elaine Spade]

She wasn't really sure if Kouri believed her about the dog, but it seemed she dropped the topic for Elaine's luck. Could have been more awkward after all.

Then that strange laughing again about Noaru. Why was it so amusing? Has she met with her? Elaine was creeped out by her loud laughing. Something was wrong but she didn't dare to ask if she knew Noaru.. or what happened between them. But she was sure about something. She won't tell her if he is here, she was too worried about this.

Then the sudden change and Elaine knew she shouldn't ask. Her voice became sad and strange. Also her story was terrible. She felt sorry for her. And she became tired. "Yeah, I understand you. Erm... go.. go home then if you have one and thanks!" The situation became awkward and she was embarassed by herself. STUPID STUPID, she thought. She was waving her hands and shouted after her. "I'm sorry Kouri! Just be careful and we can play again..." Be careful... she was more powerful than her but still. Elaine was standing there, blaming herself that she made a little girl remember of her terrible death.
