[VIDEO:01]

"A flower cannot blossom without sunshine nor a garden without love."

... That's a Chinese proverb. Maybe I should go and try gardening again.

[She sighs and absentmindedly pets the Pikachu sleeping on her desk.]

[Marth blinks.

Oh, Mei Ling... You and your proverbs.
]

Are you well?

[He offers a bit of a light wave to her Pikachu.]

[Oh, hello Raimei. Aren't you just a cutie. Yes, you are. Why, if you weren't behind a camera, Marth would gladly give you some scritches.]

As well as you can be...?

[Please don't let him be the cause of this.]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[Mei Ling, you're doing an awful lot of flailing.]

In the same way you may worry about me, I would think your behaviour to be a bit... abnormal. Well, abnormal for the collected and composed Mei Ling that I know.

I do not mind listening, you know. It may even free me of some of my thoughts, which would not be the most terrible thing to befall me.

[Whatever the case may be, Marth doesn't seem at all warded off, even by forward remarks. That's either grace, him being oblivious, or him being accustomed to it. He'll never tell which one.]

To have my concern? Really, is that such a terrible thing? It is only natural to concern for those you care about. Friends, family, and more.

If it is so troublesome, while I cannot prevent myself from it, I can at the very least, keep it to myself.

[He leans over in his chair and cradles his chin in the palm of his hand as he looks between Mei Ling and Raimei. What a couple of complicated females...]

[Marth simply stops.

Well, his mental processes stop. Now, he's not that familiar with foods and analogies that may be used in modern time, but he does have the slightest idea as to what peanut butter is, thanks to everyone and their informative selves.

But all the same, he can't stop staring at Mei Ling. She really
was saying something of the sort to him. He'd thought perhaps he'd misinterpreted.]

Unrequited love?

[He finally manages to squeak it out. Except not really squeak. It's like pulling teeth, though.]

I have never heard of Charlie Brown, Mei Ling. Still... Unrequited love... Two very powerful words, really. A common fear that many have. Fear of rejection.

[Even he has it.]

How presumptuous of me. Kindness is sometimes never more than kindness. It would be inappropriate for me to assume it to be anything else.

Except I was not...

[What exactly does he say? This is such a frustrating situation to be in. How many times has Midna felt this way when Marth's...

Oh, right. Marth has never really been upfront to her about how he feels. His brazen talks have been very few and far between.

But everyone handles things differently.
]

It is normally about this time that Sheeda smacks me in the back of the head to say something useful.

[It's actually the first time he's genuinely missed her. Imagine that.]

I... When you are ready to talk to me, Mei Ling, I will be all ears for you. But I really do not wish you to feel you must until you are absolutely ready. I am very sorry for any inconvenience I have caused you.

[And he feels horrible. All over. So excuse him while he goes and runs off to do something nerdy.]

Proverbs are always nice to hear. Thank you.

[identity profile] shootmedown.livejournal.com 2011-09-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'll definitely take you up on that offer.

[He looks over at his mulberry plant]

... That's quite true.

[identity profile] majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com 2011-09-18 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I can... vouche for that.

[identity profile] shysentinel.livejournal.com 2011-09-17 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, that's so true! I like ta hum ta my flowers and such, and I think they grow better~

Ms. Erika's got a real nice greenhouse, ad I'm sure she'll give ya a little plot of land. What sorta things did ya plant before?

[identity profile] shysentinel.livejournal.com 2011-09-17 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ain't tried nothin' but hummin' yet. Maybe a radio could make em grow good...

Oh, a ship? Been awhile since I been on a proper one. But I don't like 'em too much. We always fought on 'em, and when we weren't, I got sick sometimes. But ya can't grow nothin' on those.
