For anyone who would visit the flower shop today, there was a very special visitor. It's a little hard to believe it would have taken him so long to find the place, but now that he's discovered it, he really doesn't want to leave.

... this is quite literal by and by, he is going to make it a point to stay at the shop all day, right up until he has to be kicked out at closing.

However for most of the day he will be admiring the flowers with a certain amount of tenderness that can only come from having flowers be one of his most favorite things in the entire world. This is especially so for the smaller blossoms. Not that he ever learned how to take care of them, he's perfectly content to be in their presence.

Of course if your character isn't florally inclined Senri will also be spending time at the mural, and at some point he'll have to eat something. Most likely at the bakery (or more recently he might stop by 7th heaven, considering he remembers that nice mr.Sanji who gave him some food ...and he requires actual nourishment.)

((OOC: tags tomorrow! I just wanted to throw this up now~ action tags are welcome, the post itself is just in prose because otherwise the whole thing would be in tiny eye-hurting brackets))

["shyness" was a fairly common guess whenever anyone tried to figure out Senri, but not an accurate one. Unfortunately for the flow of interaction, as with approximately 99% of the questions asked of him, he's not going to answer. Though at least it could be taken as a resounding "yes" all things considered.]

Huh. I'll take that as a yes.

[ And somehow, he's still not deterred. ]

My friend Kieth's the same way. That guy goes for years without sayin' a word.

[Well, thankfully Senri's not that bad. He'll speak.... it's just incredibly rare for him to do so. However talking about friends does manage to capture his attention. So, while he doesn't say anything, he is listening now.]

[ Firo smiles when he sees Senri paying attention. ]

He's been like that since we were kids. Even with work and stuff; he just lets Luck do most of the talkin' for him. Luck's his brother. You got anybody like that?

[and this is something he really has to think about. Yet despite his efforts, in the end it's not something he can remember having.]

Well, I guess not everybody can be that lucky.

[ He wonders if this guy even has any family, and briefly feels guilty for bringing it up. As a distraction, he decides to quickly start blabbing again. ]

He and his brothers are good guys; all really different too. You know how Keith never talks? Well, Berga can more than make up for it. Luck says a lot, sometimes, it's just hard to understand. He reads a lot. Do you?

[and to be honest, some of that blabbering goes in one ear and out the other, while some of it he picks up on. He can't pay attention to every word, since he's not always so connected to the present moment after all. One of the things he does catch though is the question of if he reads a lot, which is an obvious no since he's completely illiterate.

However instead of shaking his head or saying no instead he'll take out the one book he owns to show him. It's a fairly old book from his world, and it's written in some strange foreign language. However the book itself wasn't important, it was what's inside of it: many pressed flowers (many of which he had pointed out earlier as what he painted on the mural), a crow's feather, and even items he added to it since coming to luceti: two folded up drawings, a sprig of holly, and a pressed white rose. This was a book but instead of reading it's words he read the objects inside of it for their memories.]

[ Firo peers at the book, eyes widening in amazement. At first, he's struck by the strange writing, but the amount of objects inside is fascinating as well. ]

Wow... Where'd you find all this stuff?

[He's been looking here and there for quite some time. Though his book is the most precious object to him in the whole world, so browsing through it always makes him very happy. He has a lot of good memories in here of kind people and it's nice not to forget them.]

[ Firo can't even guess at the significance of this book, but he's never seen something similar before so he finds it rather interesting. ]

Did ya put all this together yourself?

[Well to be technical while Senri found almost everything, the book itself was a gift, and the idea of putting flowers in it to remember people by wasn't his. However he's going to guess that he meant just finding the stuff that's inside the pages, nodding yes.]

[ Firo admires the book for another moment before glancing at Senri. ]

Are you some kind of explorer or somethin'?

["Explorer" is one way of putting it, though "homeless vagabond" is another and far more accurate term. If Firo is looking for answers within Senri's expression and movements however, there are none to be found. Because to be honest it's not something he can really remember anymore, and it's not something he ever really thinks about. He's just himself, that's all.]

No?

[ Tapping his chin thoughtfully, Firo glances up at the sky. He doesn't really expect a verbal answer, but it can't hurt to ask. If Senri's annoyed by the chatter, Firo can't see it. ]

You got any kinda job back home?

[Chatter doesn't bother Senri at all, even if he has the bad habit of zoning out and only half listening sometimes. Thankfully though he was still paying attention to the conversation, shaking his head no.

To be fair he usually didn't have any trouble picking up a job when he arrived at whatever town he was staying at for awhile. If he didn't have such a difficult time verbalizing himself he might have answered "sometimes", or would have given another answer along those lines.]

After the stock market crash back home, it's been pretty tough for some people to find a job. Somethin' like that happen where you live?

[ He tries to stick to yes or no questions, figuring that Senri's not going to start talking anytime soon. ]
