it's no bed of roses but it is red (tag)

[Vivian Carter]

Vivian was going to do her best to make sure that she counted the steps and clocked the seconds in case things started going bad but as she looked at Micah he seemed to be radiating confidence and she did like that. "I never worry but you should just be careful." The excitement that seemed to ring in his voice was almost catching as she made her way a little bit in front of him and then turned around. "I will be in the south east wing when you are ready."

She turned to go when she noticed Mila. Wow it had been forever since they had spoken and it was not that at least as far as she could remember it was not because they did not like one another. "Hey Mila," she said. "We should talk more, I mean I have a sister, two really," she said as she eyed Decipher but she seemed busy. "I have almost as many questions for you as I do Micah I just knew better how to approach him than you." Were her sister and Micah's sister like a thing? So much that Vivian did not know. "Did I interrupt something by the way never my intentions."

[Graysen Maddox]

All the family feels rushed through him a little too fast that he almost felt a little too overwhelmed but thankfully like she always seemed to have a knack for he heard Decipher speaking. "At some point everyone needs saving or at the very least help with something." He loved their banter and he knew he should not but it kept them both on their toes and he did admit that it had gave him more than one reason to keep going on after the loss of his grandparents. He had never really discussed it with anyone else and felt like if he needed to talk again, she would always be there.

However it utterly surprised him at her small confession but he did not mind it. He knew if he wanted any kind of openess from her he did not need to pin point everything or she would shell up, something he was curious if her cousins did too. "Sounds like a date," he said. "Two dates in less than what three days between us, careful Deci we are skating on exclusive territory," he said as he took a second to look up at the ceiling structure as she continued to speak. "I do not even know what the right idea let along wrong idea would be," he said as his eyes followed the structure and he grabbed her hand and gently tugged at it. "Come on, this is going to be the best side to get a good view of all this place offers I think."

She was still wondering what the big picture was and she knew that maybe it was just her trying to make something out of nothing but still. This seemed like such a big leap from one end to another that it was hard for her to calm herself down but she did her best to try and focus on everything else but it was hard. She wanted to know things but as she looked around the colors were drawing her and she blinked a second. The red was especially inviting to her as she made her way over to a set of flowers. She turned and looked at it and it did remind her of the jade vine, just a little bit.

She went to go make her way over to Micah when she noticed Mila, Ribbon, and Cami. She shook her thoughts loose and made her way to Micah. "I have never known you to be the type to give speeches but you pulled it off." She was almost certain that he was up to something because why here and why now? Vacation was going smooth and all of a sudden others have to be invited? Nah that was almost blasphemous. "I seen something" she said as she nodded her head from the direction from whence she had came. "Come on you are are coming with me" she said as she waited on him. "I need an ounce of truth from you unless you want me to go absolutely ballistic on you right here in front of everyone."

[Mila Richards]

She had managed to settle her excitement just a little bit as she heard Ribbon. "Do not tell me that you are trying to run away from your family again already?" she asked. "No running away anymore and plus look at all of the effort that your brother put into this." She would always go to bat for Micah though she had no real idea why. Maybe it was the almost promise of such razzle and dazzle. She thought about it. "Stay with the crowd for now and maybe tuck into a different hall later since I am sure that there is so much more to explore."

She started to speak again when she heard Vivian talking to her. "Oh my god you say hey like we are strangers. I mean I know that we do not communicate that much but strangers would even be a stretch. I think talking more would be lovely and that is fine." She understood why and that was okay. "Interrupt her and I?" She thought about it because it was always hard for her to know either way. "I mean it does not seem like it, so feel free to hang with us if you want."

Micah Nottingham

[Micah Nottingham]

Micah was still taking it all in as he looked around and so far everyone seemed on pace which was good to him. Then he took a second and heard Trove. "I mean I was getting around to it," he said as a way to attempt and deflect her slightly apparent anger. It was hard to do with women but still he knew as soon as they were away from one another that it was going to lead to a conversation that he was not sure he had the words for but he finally nodded.

"You I know I honestly could not agree more for once." He wanted to test the theory that he had gotten from Vivian, well the idea of the theory and that was not going to get done standing around as he walked waiting on her. "I know that this caught you off guard but Trove it is honestly for you. To help discover everything and more in some ways. My mind is always thinking about that and besides now we can always say that we have been to new york." He took a pause. "I will tell you it was not the best way to get here but the pay off should make it worth the while."

[Ribbon Harmony]

She turned her nose up at the thoughts of staying with the majority of the crowd but everyone had their own way of dealing with things and she knew that maybe right now Mila felt better with everyone else and she would respect that as much as she could. She let out a small laugh. "I doubt there is much to interrupt." She listened as Vivian spoke and it made sense. Even though she had denied it now actually being around her brother was making her feel better.

"I think we are the coolest two here so if you stay with us as Mila suggested then that makes you cool by association or something like that and who could turn that down?" She was starting to look more around herself. "I mean this play is so big I doubt that anyone could miss anyone or be bored. Micah has always seemed to have a thing about flowers and colors though he denies it and honestly tries to deflect it as if it is Caedara's though she does not seem to mind. Sometimes people can dabble in the same habits and it be okay anyway." The world was so different but a few similar things here and there happened.

[Decipher Nottingham]

She nodded. "You know normally I would argue with you about that but I honestly think that it is a truth. Take me for example someone who always had so much trouble asking for help but always doing my best to make sure that I found a way when it mattered the most." She needed to learn to apply that whole logic to her life and not just in certain situations where it seemed most important. She watched Graysen and then heard him speak again.

"It is a date if you want it to be a date and who is counting. See this is why I have such an issue when people start to label stuff because they expect it on a structure and I do not like that. I would think that you would just let it free flow but it seems you are not," she said as she laughed. "It will be okay though."

She felt him tug her hand and she followed behind. "Graysen if you break my nails because you feel the need to lead me away I will scream and make sure that it's as shrill as possible just to draw attention to us." She was kidding but no need for him to know that at the moment.

Vivian Carter/Graysen Maddox

[Vivian Carter]

Vivian took a minute to take in how they reacted two people with very similar reactions made her think that maybe she had struck onto something but she simply did not say anything and continued to listen to the both of them. "Well I just meant that it seems like the two of you seem like you have a good friendship but yes I will come with you. I want to give Micah time to do whatever he needs to with his young lady friend and then him and I can discuss it later." She figured that one of these young ladies was Micah's sister that it was okay to talk a little more freely.

"As far as people and the habits that they share that is true." It made it better when you did not have to do things by yourself at least that is what she thought. She turned and leaned over towards the floor and grabbed her bag and put it on her back. "I am ready whenever you guys are. I am drawn to smells more than colors but one of the two of you can lead the way and I will follow." It would give her more time to judge and see how they were as a pair which was okay with her.

[Graysen Maddox]

"Arguing in a public place would embarrass you and your family members so I think, well honestly I assumed it was okay to take a chance." He was always honest even though he knew that it was not something that people always wanted to hear or deal with as far as him and Decipher had went it seemed to work well enough. "It is more so that I have never truly been to something like this. It is way more on the nature side of things than I could ever see myself voluntarily going to but if I am going to be around this family of yours from time to time then I am going to at least give it a shot."

As they walked and he heard her he nodded. "If that is what you feel like you must do then please do not let me be the one to stop you," he said as he turned a corner and was almost in a spot where he wanted to be. "Okay," he said as he stepped to the side so that she could take a look at the plants and how they hung out of the windows in some spots but stayed up in some spots. "The same plant just grown in a different way. Ups and downs and yet it stands still true to the test of time." He was almost amazed. "Almost worth going through anything to become out a better person in the end at least to me."

She was going over how to say the things that she felt like she both wanted and needed to say in her head as they walked. "I was upset," she admitted. "It seemed like something that you wanted to do with just me so when you chose to cut away from me to include everyone else that not only shocked me but it felt as if it came out of nowhere." As she talked she did look around. As much of a green thumb as she had she still could never imagine growing something like this or anything that would come near being in a place like this.

"Then I look around and I see how pretty it all looks on the inside and the outside too but I also see how not everything in here is pretty. Not every plant that comes into or comes out of a garden is pretty or even if it looks pretty will not scrape across your hands and make your skin slightly bleed when you try to touch it again." She did not want that to be the relationship between them but it felt like it was going that way no matter what she did. It would suck for this friendship to end up splinter but the selfishness in Micah seemed to becoming stronger every day. "If you wanted to be selfish you just had to be honest."
