After another couple of seconds trying to hold a fierce expression, Fleo sighed and lowered her arm.  The dust bomb condensed into a ball the size of her palm, then dissolved into a stream of dust that began to circle about the bandaged limb.  Fleo moped, [color=C2B280]“It's no fun when you just sit there and let it happen.  In situations like this, doesn't the offender run away, yelling apologies, and the girl chases him in a furious rage?  Heh.  I'm not gonna hurt you.  Just watch where you stick your head in the future, otherwise...”[/color]  

With a wave of her fingers, Fleo summoned the dust from Lucas and Nolan's bodies, effectively cleaning them off.  The dust combined with the swath swirling around her arm before solidifying into two smaller balls in her hand.  Suddenly grinning in a rather terrifying way for one usually so energetic and youthful -was this perhaps a result of interrupting her sleep?-, Fleo brought her fingers together, crushing the twin spheres into minute particles that drifted ominously to the floor.  The dusty woman looked outside, any trace of a blush now faded, to see the late afternoon sun.  [color=C2B280]“Good afternoon then!  Make sure you fix the door sometime tomorrow!”[/color]

Halfway back into the room, Fleo paused, and looked over her shoulder at the Ash God Slayer.  [color=C2B280]“Oh, and Nolan?  For future reference, this morning in Joey's Waffle House doesn't count as a date because you didn't ask me,”[/color] chuckling, Fleo used her Hokori Kurafuto to make a door out of dust, and the encounter was over.

Around Ayame, Nero decided, he just couldn't help but make his smiles genuine.  Kids were the best.  So full of innocence, so matter-of-fact in their dealings, and equal terms adorable and surprisingly smart were they, not to mention the greater ease of their wishes.  The little girl's feeling struck a definite chord with him.

[color=D8BFD8]“I'm always up for something fun!  My magic is really good for it, too.  What'll it be, then?  We could walk around Magnolia, making people fart in the middle of their conversations.  I could put people into ridiculous costumes, like rabbit suits, or giant strawberries.  Or, heeheehee, or we could find a couple and swap their heights, or...oh, tehee, go to a gym and make people fat.  Or a barber's shop and make people's hair longer.  People's reactions are the funniest things in the world, and pranks get the best reactions!  And after we've had our fun, I can undo the Curse Laws so it's like nothing ever happened.  Oh!  And we can do it stealthily, so they don't know it's us!”[/color]
