[ oh, what are the odds of them having the same favorite food? tsumugi's practically glowing at this little happenstance, and even more so when midorima comments on how superior his gift is. hearing that from a completely stern guy means a lot, considering how they usually are. ]
I just followed the recipe, so I didn't do anything too special with it... But thank you, Midorima-kun. I see that you've gotten a bunch of interesting gifts today as well.
[ LIKE THAT PIANO... it couldn't have been eichi, though. surely there are other excessively generous guys like him in lunatia.
tsumugi spots the wagging tail behind his roommate, eyes blinking in curiosity. yep, that sure is a tanuki tail. ]
Oh, that tail! Is it that time already? [ this is a sanguis trait, right? somehow it matches him. ]

[ He holds his right hand out. Not his left hand!! Give. ]
Then hand it over.
Then hand it over.
The original way is the best way to do it in this case. It doesn't need anything special.
[ He looks over to the piano when he says that. ] "Gift" is one word for it. Your friend is pushy, he came in this morning before I was awake enough to rebuke him properly.
[ ...Probably because Midorima usually goes out first thing in the morning once he's ready because he has to get his lucky item. Today, he's actually using Tsumugi's omamori that he gave to him, since the lucky item was "imported goods." In this world, they don't have a ton of different cultures, so the most imported thing is otherworlders-- and that's the only good he had from another one, since Eichi was refusing to give him something. They're in for quite the push-and-pull when it comes to who has the power in this relationship there. Which is probably another reason Tsumugi is thinking Sanguis, but that's just Midorima's personality more than his moonblessing traits.. ]
Cordis moon rose yesterday. I woke up with them this morning.
[ It was a little delayed for him... like it was waiting for his birthday. Rude. That said, not a wolf.. he doesn't know that Tsumugi doesn't know that though. ]

[ At the very least, he does take it gently, and once he has it.. ]
..Thank you.
[ He's not going to be a brat about that. He knows when to appreciate when someone is doing something for him. ]

You really weren't aware of what today is?

[...He celebrates Tanabata like this?!]
Oh my goodness, I didn't realise! We don't celebrate Tanabata or the Qixi festival personally, not through outside influences, but I have my own version of the legend too, Ngưu Lang Chức Nữ. I suppose we could share prosperity like this!

I knew it was him. [ sighs ] Eichi-kun has always been generous to the people who caught his interest, mostly with gifts. Even here he's just as well-off as ever.
[ that's the heir of a conglomerate for you. ]
I will apologize for his sake, though. He can be rather prideful when he wants to, much like a child who thinks that one can buy anything so long as he has the money for it... [ he sounds less bitter and more resigned about this. tsumugi was there once upon a time, and look where it got them. ]
Anyways, I didn't know you play piano, Midorima-kun. I'd love to listen sometime, if you'd allow me. I really thought you were going to be Sanguis, so color me surprised. You look very cute as a--
[ um... hm. squiiiints. ] That's a tanuki tail, isn't it?

Don't apologize for him. He's going to learn lines whether he wants to or not. I've had my experience with "emperors" and pests alike.
[do you mean: midorima's two closest friends from middle and high school Despite his complaints, he's surprisingly patient and doesn't lack the determination to stand up for himself, ever. Midorima is like a mountain- you can climb him, but he's not going to move from the spot he wants to be no matter how hard you try.
He focuses on the soup for a moment, but nods. He's more willing to play for Tsumugi because Tsumugi asked and didn't invade. ] I'm going to play what I want though, I don't take requests. [ This is bullshit, in a sense. He'll pick up on favorite songs of people he likes and then learn them on his own, sometimes even writing his own arrangement for the piano for them... ]
The ears match that of a tanuki as well. [ And his glasses look like the ring of black around their eyes, but that's not part of the transformation, that's just his face. ]

[ Nope but it is what it is. ]
Typically, we would place wishes on bamboo trees but that doesn't seem to be a tradition here. Sharing prosperity by other means seemed like a logical standpoint, particularly since you're from another culture.
[ And he can't afford a freaking tree on his own... ]

[She'll find out it's his birthday too. One day. And get vaguely mad about it.]
Hmm...we can always go find a tree. We can always do this properly, if you have time. The red envelop from me, but a tree for you to celebrate and place wishes. It might help secure you a good year for basketball, no?
[Would he count this as something required? She's not sure how superstitious he is, other than very.]

[ oh, so eichi told him about the emperor schtick. not sure how much he'd told midorima, but his roommate does deserve a much proper explanation for all their eccentricities, tsumugi included. all in due time, though. ]
Is that so...? Fufu, yet another fact we have in common. I'm starting to think that our meeting from a while back is fated. ♪
[ he jests... probably. he takes a couple more sips of the soup, pleased that he'd made a decent if ordinary job at following basic instructions rather well, and leans a little bit forward to check his face. oh, those certainly are black circles. excuse him while he stifles a giggle. ]
And I thought Eichi-kun had bothered to doodle your face in before he made his escape. I'm glad that's not the case though. You look rather cute like this, to be honest.

If it is fated, then you're familiar with someone falsely believing their word is absolute. You should know that if you ever record anything of me for that boy without my knowledge, I'll be ignoring fate and you'll be moving out.
[ He'll argue the fate thing, since Eichi actually implied Tsumugi would do something like that for him. He's not going to hold it against Tsumugi since Eichi could've easily been bullshitting, but it does bother him, and he wants to let Tsumugi know he's not OK with something like that no matter what Mr. Emperor says. He values his privacy and doesn't like the power games Eichi is trying to play with him, even if they eventually came to a somewhat more peaceful resolution. ]
"Cute" isn't a word to describe whatever this is!
[ His general pissy face looks thrown off by that comment though, but his ears are a little red. And his tail sways back and forth, much against his mental will. ]

[ Getting vaguely mad about things he does is a state of existence for people who associate with Midorima. ]
I've been looking for one, but I don't have the financial means to purchase one.
[ Buy him a tree, Sen. ]

[ It's just a month before the musical goes live. It's practically crunch time, but everybody is still encouraged to take a rest at least once a week. The rest day for the week just so happens to take place during the Cordis cycle. The need to moonlace is definitely there, but Weiss is a little more in control of her emotions today. With the idea of needing to be perfect nagging her constantly, she can't exactly take a rest. It's why she texts Midorima in the morning if she can come over to practice. She has the sheet music with her, and if he's not doing anything else, maybe he can play for her while she sings.
As a means of saying thanks in advance for letting her use this piano, she decides to bring some lunch to his place. The Cordis moon's effects include being hungry all the time, so she assumes that Midorima would want a lot of food, too. She's not an expert in cooking though, so she just drops by a restaurant and orders takeout. There are two servings of linguine carbonara, grilled lemon herb mediterranean chicken salad, and a plateful of baby back ribs in a large paper bag that she brings with her, along with her purse and sheet music. Little does she know that she's also brought along pheromones with her. Just a light scent for now, which seem to make people who pass by look at her general direction.
This wasn't exactly an effect of her Moonblessings before, after all. And it's not like she can smell herself! She'd lock herself up, otherwise. She's under the notion that her normal Moonblessings are the only ones present—feathers in her hair and on her arms, the usual.
For now, though, she rings the doorbell to his apartment. He's probably not expecting anybody else, so she doesn't call out after him, too. ]

[ He has to become a doctor just to keep his friends' health under control. ]
I have no intention of paying you back.
[ He will, but he doesn't want her to think she's putting him in debt or something. ]

[Please, she's an immortal and he's going to kill her. So hurry up and be a doctor and nurse her back to life.]
I think demanding payment for something that is meant to be tradition would incur a curse. Do not worry, I will cover the costs and want nothing back.
[She says this so easily, but the tone of her voice isn't her doting over him. It's simply someone chooses to do what she wants.]

Th-That's such a harsh punishment?! Eichi-kun and I don't even talk that much these days! You've got nothing to worry about, I swear!
[ or so he thinks. the two of them have been chatting a lot these days, and lunatia may be big, but eichi's got nowhere to hide when it comes to tsumugi. fate has a weird sense of humor like that.
he stifles a giggle at how midorima's reacting to his words, completely delighted upon seeing this side of him. really, tsunderes can be rather cute at times. he wonders if there's something about himself that keeps attracting these kinds of characters to him. ]
There's no other way to put it! Ah, but how do you feel? Certain moons would make you feel a variety of odd feelings, so I'm wondering about the effects.

[ Midorima is doing slightly better now that he's done some.. incidental moonlacing. (More like.. he carried Eichi around and took care of him for a night and managed to get enough chroma to at least stave off energy needs for at least some time.) As soon as Cordis moon is high in the sky again though, he's feeling urges again and like his chroma's running way too low.
It's why he's actually grateful that Weiss texts. It's a good distraction to focus on something creative and detailed.
As soon as he opens the door he gets a full blast of Weiss's hormones though and his tanuki ears perk right up, his tail swaying back and forth behind him against his will. His expression stays the same and he tries to take a deep breath to calm himself. Why are you like this Weiss? Be more aware of yourself. ]
You brought food?
[ He made a bunch of rice in the kitchen and Tsumugi usually leaves him meals, but it isn't enough during Cordis moon. More food, good food, is welcome. He moves out of the doorway to let her in, trying to ignore the scent permeating their apartment right now. ]

[ Look. She can't smell herself??? Don't complain, Midorima. It's not like she wanted this. ]
I did. We can have lunch together. Consider it a token of my appreciation.
[ She holds up the bag to show him. There, maybe the scent of the food will be a little stronger if it's closer to his nose? Probably not... ]
I'm not sure what you like to eat, but I ordered pasta, meat, and vegetables.
[ No rice. She doesn't usually have rice, so if Midorima wants some, he'll have to cook. ]

He seemed to imply that you would without hesitation, so I thought it best to clarify.
[ Emperors are annoying like that and he has no doubt that if Eichi has truly earned his title, there are those who would do something like that. Midorima knows first hand what it feels like to disobey someone like that and it's not easy even for someone with his constitution. ]
Tired and hungry. [ Which is why he's.. definitely going for the cakes now, even though he usually doesn't eat much. ] Otherwise, I'm fine. What is typically associated with Cordis? What is yours?
