[fleurdesel]

I am...and I do.

[She frowns a bit and flips her book closed. Whoever this was she can't help but think there's no room for argument.]

What has he done this time?

[daisy023]

He hasn't blown up anything yet.

[At the moment.]

Lupin asked me to look out for you... [And she looks slightly worn -- The Spartan could recognize that look anywhere.] Some way to rest afte rthe last days.

[fleurdesel]

The key word being 'yet'.

[It's easy enough to begin formulating an apology or excuse for Lupin's behavior- but that offer. Lupin telling someone to keep an eye on her? Stops her mid word. She's uncertain how to respond for a moment when it finally registers. The description, at least, that she's been given.]

...You're Daisy, aren't you?

[daisy023]

... Height gave me away?

[It always does. Sob.

The tall girl sits beside her, bending her legs a little as she sits in a chair too small for her.]

I wondered if you wanted a place to stay for the coming days. Me and a friend can help you.

[fleurdesel]

I am afraid so, yes.

[Adele moves a bit to the side to provide more room for Daisy, and she must admit it's more than a little awkward to watch her curl into the chair. Life must be somewhat inconvenient when everything is sized for people smaller than oneself.]

...That is...That is very kind of you to offer Daisy. I would appreciate it.

[daisy023]

Keimi's a really good cook. We'll do our best to keep things well... [She may have to warn her beforehand, nonetheless.] I don't know if you'd wish to go, ma'am.

[fleurdesel]

Daisy- so long as it isn't overly quiet or dark I do not think it will be a problem.

[daisy023]

[She raises herself a little to gather something for hot chocolate -- an act too easy for her liking.]

I'm... sorry if it becomes too loud. I sometimes have to work on my suit of armor. But we'll try making good noise. My suit recorded the music Chopin made while he was here.

[fleurdesel]

[An act easy enough that Adele is comforted by it.]

At the moment there is no such thing as too loud. [A beat.] Chopin? Frederick Chopin?

[daisy023]

[She grins. She forbids herself from nodding too much.]

He used to be here for a while. He even played at a party...! [Her knees meet. For a military girl her size... there is hidden glee.] I recorded the time in which he did. He's amazing with the piano.

[fleurdesel]

[Even with the size and musculature, that posture was...oddly adorable. Endearing in it's earnestness.]

I can't imagine be so fortunate as to meet him. His work is all but beyond compare, and I enjoyed learning his pieces while I was studying as a young woman. To hear him perform in person? It must have been wonderful.

[daisy023]

It's just... he was humble. He was a gentleman. He was different from the portraits of my world, but he had the skill. He was also a great drawer.

[Not only that. She usually contains her glee in a way Spartans would tell it. Right now even Adelle would see it.]

I... never got to learn to play music. But it could be something you'd like.

[fleurdesel]

That sounds like how he should be, according to what historical records there are of him in my world.

[She offers Daisy a half smile and considers for a moment. She'd have time enough on her hands in the coming months. Why not?]

I am no Chopin, not by far, but if you still wish to learn how to play the piano I would be more than happy to teach you.

[daisy023]

We can get you settled now, ma'am. I'd love to learn once you do. I usually put two beds together to sleep comfortably, but... Every apartment has three.

... We don't usually need the third one.

[........

She blushes as she says this.]

[fleurdesel]

You share a bed with Keimi?

[She's curious, but not one to pry. That blush was oddly sweet. She'd go so far as to say adorable, even with the juxtaposition of build and demeanor.]

That is very sweet.

[daisy023]

[A shy laugh.]

It's become habit. We were about to give it away, but... She's been spending a lot of time with me. She's a great cook, too.

[fleurdesel]

And she is the...petite mermaid, yes?

[That makes the mental image all the more adorable. Adele can't help the smile that comes after.]

[daisy023]

... The green haired one.

[Not mentioning the chest, given everyone in the Grand Line seems to be too well endowed, apparently.]

[fleurdesel]

I think I have spoken to her in passing once before. Lupin speaks well of her.

[daisy023]

She deserves it. She's one of the kindest people in here...

[Blushing a little. Then, she stands back to her full height.]

We can get you settled now if you wish, ma'am.

[fleurdesel]

Of that I have no doubt.

[It's a little surprising to watch her stand- sweet. Shy. And so very, very tall. Even though she didn't know her well Adele already felt at ease. She stands as well and almost huffs a laugh at how very tiny she felt in comparison.]

I would appreciate that.
