Beach triiiip~ (private!)

[sparrowfeathered]

[Lenna and Rose hatched a brilliant scheme: GO TO THE BEACH.]

[Specifically, down to the tropical island. After terrible revelations about Gigas, after gods and deaths, and after finding out about Rose's double life... honestly, it sounds pretty nice! But, most importantly, they have Vaporeon slippers. Rose steps onto the beach, wearing a stripped red-and-white two-piece swimsuit.]

[A beachball is under one arm. Her feet are clad in her slippers. She is ready.]

Bring it on! It's beach time!

It was nice! I grew up with some soldiers. They taught me a lot, and I'd travel with them. Things changed after awhile, though...

They left the army, and became the Spearowfeathers. And, ah, the Scattered Bones.

[The assassins. The other side of things.]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Ah... right.

[That subject is still a little awkward.]

Cherie, can you get Rose next?

[Topic change!]

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hmm. I got to see a lot of the countryside growing up.

[But: ooooo, good!]

Thanks, Cherie! You're the best.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Cherie's massage works primarily on pressure points, so that's the sort of experience Rose is getting. She doesn't let up when she finds a tight spot, but presumably she's able to bear with it.]

Mmmmm... she really is. Cherie's massages always make me want to take a nap.

[sparrowfeathered]

Oh, I bet. This is pretty good. It's getting out some knots I didn't know exist.

[Rose sighs, even if there's a slight hitch in her voice at a couple of spots. She gets some knotted up muscles, sometimes, doing what she does.]

She's been with you for awhile, right?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Mmm... about six or seven months.

[Lenna stretches out now that Cherie is done with her, yawning and wiggling her toes.]

She's very diligent about practicing, though, so she evolved quickly.

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hm! I can tell she's a hard worker.

[Rose sighs, then leans her head on the bunched up towel acting as a pillow. She yawns; it's a little tired, still.]

I wonder if I can train a few... this could make some money!

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

I'm sure a Mienshao massage parlor would be very popular! What do you think, Cherie?

[She's prim and proper, so the reaction isn't very pronounced, but she does nod after a moment's consideration.]

[sparrowfeathered]

I think I've got a thing to set up when we get back!

I've thought about getting a storefront for the Spearowfeathers, too. It can double as a warehouse.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

That's a good idea. You'll be able to do more business that way, and it'll help with organization too.

[sparrowfeathered]

Exactly! I just need to find a good location, but I think I can do that.

Plus, business is pretty good...

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

[sparrowfeathered]

Hey, if you know any property for sale! I mean... I doubt it, I don't... think that's a thing you do.

[...she thinks. Noble houses do a lot.]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

No, not exactly. But I can help if you need to borrow some money.

[sparrowfeathered]

I might take you up on that! We've got money, but we might need a lot to buy a warehouse.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

It's fine. I trust you to pay me back. It shouldn't be an issue.

[True to the family's name, the Tycoons are loaded.]

[sparrowfeathered]

I always pay back anyone we borrow money from!

[It's how the Spearowfeathers operate.]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Mmhmm. I know you will.

[And Cherie's just about finished with Rose's massage.]

How do you feel? Relaxed?

[sparrowfeathered]

[She sighs, fondly, and is slumped forward.]

One hundred percent relaxed!

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Good! Cherie really does work wonders.

[The Mienshao seems entirely satisfied, bowing to them both.]

[sparrowfeathered]

Awesome work, Cherie! You're the best!

[She grins at Lenna, too. After all, she's why they're here, getting to relax like this.]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

I think it's time for a nice nap in the sun... Cherie, you'll wake us up before we burn, won't you?

[She nods. It will be good meditation time for her too.]

[sparrowfeathered]

We're counting on you, Cherie! 'Cause I could definitely use a snooze.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Cherie smiles and retreats to the shade of a nearby palm tree. Stretching out her arms and legs, Lenna yawns, settling in against the towel and letting her eyes slip shut.]

Mmmm... this is wonderful. See you soon, Rose.

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hmm!

You, too, Lenna.

[She yawns, stretches, and closes her eyes. Time for some rest!]
