At that, she'll calmly walk up to Shiemi, before gingerly pulling her close into a hug.]
I can relate. It almost feels like we're the only one, but please, never forget that you're not alone.
[she gives a small squeeze. she's been just as restless, for while she doesn't have people from home, she is deeply attached to a number of people she's acquainted with, in Haven proper.]
Support is quite invaluable, actually, so please don't undervalue it. ...Have you thought about it, though? There's going to be an assault group to find Kite, though some people will also have to stay behind to make sure things are okay here too.
[Shiemi seems a bit surprised at the hug at first, eventually relaxing into it and burying her face into Ciel's clothing. The comfort was nice, it was helping her keep her mind off of the more negative things that have been going on.]
...I want to help out...I want to help out everyone and bring everyone back safe and sound, so I've decided to...go along with everyone to find Kite. Even if I'm not the best fighter around, I don't want to sit around and do nothing! I have to obtain my weed spirit...
[It sounds muffled because of how her position is, but feeling Ciel's warmth was something she needed in these past few days.]
...what are you going to do, Ciel-san...? I don't want you to get into danger as well...
[Ciel might've been more tightly wound, once upon a time. But while knowing how to fight has given her an edge many times before, there's also no use for soldiers in Haven. True to her words that support is crucial, the softspoken, gentle, and naggy too, yes, sisterly/motherly figure who's easy to talk to is the person she needs to be here - and to be frank? It's who she enjoys being and who she truly is, too. So for that reason...
She rests her free hand on the back of Shiemi's head. This does help... She's been at a loss too, since the day so many went missing at the same time.]
Ehe, your resolve is really impressive. You don't have to be; many fighters are going, and I'm sure you'll be of great support to them. Just stay close to the group and make sure you're together, okay? Preferably with someone you already get along with here, too. [and not Luffy......] I'm sure you'll be fine, Moriyama-san.
[...]
I'll be staying here, just in case. We'll keep this part of Haven West in shape so we can welcome you all properly once you come back. Some people have to stay to make sure, you know?
[she continues softly, there's a faint joking tone to that in an attempt to lighten the mood. don't worry, she can take care of herself...!]
[Shiemi was close to tears, really- but hearing Ciel's words were actually cushioning the need to let out any waterworks that she might be letting out. She would be fine, wouldn't she? Despite the long journey that might be ahead of them, if she focuses, she won't falter...after all, that's what a weed would do- it would stand sturdy and not fall down. That's the sort of spirit she needs to obtain.]
...mhm, I got it, Ciel-san. I'll...I'll stay close to all my friends, no matter what happens during that trip! Because...because I want to see my other friends, too! To make sure they're alright, to make sure that they're still the same-! I don't want to be the one that people need to save. I want to be relied on every once in a while too!
[The words come out a little rushed for herself (she's somewhat unaware of what she's saying), but they're full of heart, and practically to the point of yelling.]
So, you have to make sure nothing happens to you either, Ciel-san. Because if something does happen, I...I don't know...what I'll do without another friend around...
And I'm sure they'll be happy to see you too, not only well, but eager to help when they need it too.
[She pulls back a little, just enough to show Shiemi her smiling back softly.]
Right, I'll be okay here holding down the fort. I'll wait and pray for all your safe return, okay? I trust you to do that, so trust me to be okay here, too. Would that be fair, Moriyama-san?
Mhmm, that's...all I really want is to help...I know it sounds really silly to other people, but I want to make my dream come true.
[But seeing Ciel's smile makes her bring one of her own.]
Um- well...I'll trust you, Ciel. I know you are capable of handling yourself...you handle everyone else well, so...this should be no problem. I'll believe in you who believes in me!
Not at all, but now you got me curious. Hm... How about you tell me what your dream is, once you come back here safe and sound with Kamiki-san in tow? I'll try to make something good too, to celebrate your triumphant return!
[what's this about promises she can't keep? NO EVERYTHING WILL SOMEHOW TURN OUT OK. SOMEHOW...!!]
Hehe, that's a deal. So let's start preparing for your eventual reunion with her, shall we?
...ehe, you got it, Ciel-san. Now I have to make it back safe and sound in order to tell you what my dream is. It's simple, I think, but it really does mean a lot to me...Kamiki-san knows what it is, too, so...!
[HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT OKAY...this little gardener will make sure of it!]
...eh...? Preparing? How are we going to prepare for something like that?
[Shiemi did you really forget about something you were supposed to give her...]
[...oh!! Shiemi's eyes brighten up as she actually springs back towards her bed, digging through her junk to actually pull out the completed, cutesy bracelet she and Ciel had been working on for who knows how long.]
I've kept it good for this moment, actually! I'll be sure to give it to her- we've worked so hard, and I'm sure she'd like it after everything!
[Yes now she's actually happy
Determination and happiness all for the sake of friendship!!!]
Right! It's a little late, but wouldn't that make for the perfect present, once you make it to her so you could rescue her and help her out? I'm sure it'll be a great surprise, she definitely wouldn't be expecting it too!
[/FEEDS THE MOE
see this plan is flawless, Shiemi. YOU CAN DO IT!!!]
[It sounds like the perfect plan to her...Shiemi seems to like the idea (then again it's Ciel why wouldn't she like it in the first place), she's already letting out a puff from confirmation, slipping the bracelet in her pocket.]
It would be...she could see how much people have missed her too...! Yes, I think this will work out nicely!
[Or horribly, depending on how horribly mutilated Izumo is at the end of this.]
There's no reason why it wouldn't! Could you say hi to her for me once you meet up with her, too? You've mostly made this by yourself, but it was still a team effort, right?
I will say hi to her once I do meet her; I think she'll be happy to hear that you've been just as worried as the rest of us over here! I won't let this team project go to waste!
[Beaming with pride YEAH!!! As any moe gardener should.
chuckling brightly, ciel'll let a hand come rest on top of shiemi's head and give it an affectionate ruffle. she IS shorter and her hairstyle is totally good for it, okay!! (but don't worry, she won't smudge it; she's careful!)]
Then I am in your debt, Moriyama-san. You'll be the one doing all the hard work of getting there, after all. I'll pray for all your safe return, then, and I'll look forward to the day you'll be back, in the company of Kamiki-san!
Mhmm, Kamiki-san will be safe! Even if she's still being a bit stubborn, I'll make sure she'll say her thanks to you as well! Besides, we still need to have that little celebration for her as well! Ooh, I can't wait for that...
[Did someone ask for moe sparkles hovering around Shiemi cause they're definitely there
Along with her just holding her hands up to her face and blushing madly
Food, water, a source of light, to name a few. We don't know how long it'll take, plus you'll be going underground. You should at least be able to air yourself with plants if it gets hard to breathe, right?
[She'll help herself to a faint pat on Shiemi's head regardless tho... Can't handle all that moe. Now calm down for a second, we'll get you well-equipped before you leave--!]
...r...right, water...do we even have any water left? Um...source of light I can try to get with a plant...and yes, I can probably use my plants to give everyone else good breathing room...and food, right, we might get hungry, so I can produce some vegetables before hand...
[Don't mind her as she's scrunching up her face in order to best figure out what everyone would like in the long run.
Because it's also important to think about other people and how they might react to certain plants...! Oh gosh, she can feel her head spinning already...]
Bottled water...canned food, right, right...I'm sorry, I'm thinking too much into these things, aren't I? I'll try and tone it down for the time being.
[Trying to give off a cheerful smile, but also pretty worried about what the outcomes of this mission will be...]
