[Action] Third Target

[sapphire_sniper]

[It's been a few days in coming- but Michael had to prepare.  Order them at the flower shop- making sure Raine didn't notice, getting an early enough start to be in and out of the school building without being noticed. 

Tuesday morning though, it all comes together.  As everyone files into the classroom for the day, they'll be greeted by the sight of two gigantic bouquets of lilies occupying the corners of Raine's desk.  No notes or anything indicating the sender... but Michael <i>is</i> grinning like a fox in the hen house.

Alternatively- feel free to catch him sneaking around town in the gray hours of the morning hauling around two armfuls of flower~]

[So when Raine walks into that office later that morning, she's given a bit of a surprise by seeing those bouquets there. Unexpected...

But then she remembers her meeting with Michael at the flowershop not too long ago. The best way he wanted to apologize, hm? And they did brighten up the desk a little. She supposes she can only hope that no one else notices... but they're a bit difficult not to notice. Hm.

She'll give a discreet thank you note later.]

I hope this means I'm forgiven, then?

I think it's enough to put this matter behind us.

[Someone sneaking around in the wee hours of the morning is suspicious enough, but this man is carrying... flowers? And Arumat recognizes him, too-- they'd spoken once or twice before.

Okay. So flowers aren't a weapon, but he's still going to be giving Michael A Look to ask just what he's up to anyway.]

[He senses the eyes on him and whips around, looking mortified for about half a second before resuming his usual smiling countenance and nodding a greeting to Arumat.]

[13th_captain]

[If that's a slight inclination of Arumat's head in response, it's hard to tell. But he just gazes back levelly at Michael, eyes impassive.]

Going somewhere?

[He chuckles lightly. Michael knew he probably wouldn't get away with this unobserved, especially with all the restless people who patrol the town at night for lack of anything better to do. At least Arumat seemed to be far from the gossiping type.]

Just infiltrating the school building. Have to drop off a couple of things~

[13th_captain]

[That makes Arumat's frown deepen just the slightest bit. He can guess what those flowers are for, and he is not impressed. Never mind that he happens to be wrong in this case.]

Any student who would resort to bribery to pass a class has learned nothing from it.

[His expression alternates back and forth between mortification and amusement, before it settles on the later and he laughs again.]

Oh no. Good grief, no. I don't need any help with that... just earning a little forgiveness.

[13th_captain]

[He eyes the flowers, one eyebrow slightly raised.]

It'll take more than that to win over a woman.

[Still grinning like a fox... slightly less like one caught in the hen house.]

Oh, I've dealt with my share of women. And I don't disagree, but I have to start somewhere, right?

[13th_captain]

That depends on how low your standards are.

[Ow, that stings ok? He really does know his way around women...

mostly of the vapid high school girl type...

shut up.]

I'd make a more substantive gesture, but this seemed a better way to judge how she feels about what transpired.

[13th_captain]

[This would be a rather curious sound indicating for him to go on... he's just morbidly curious, all right?]
