"Sexual harrassment isn't exactly a morsel of decency, I think.." Ophelia said awkwardly, barely able to keep the expression of revulsion off her face.
This man seemed completely oblivious to right and wrong! No man no matter how powerful should not have the right to push his sexual desires onto a woman unwilling! Surely manala didn't support such behavior.. At least that's what she wanted to believe, even though she had gotten harassed a few times in her school days by her own teachers who were strict manalists .. Who did this guy think he was anyways? One of the big bad company tyrants? (which she did not realize he actually was.. poor naive Ophelia)
She cleared her throat, shaking her head, and looking down at the flowers.
"In all honesty, sir. I do not choose favorites..." Her brain was totally befuddled by this man, making it hard to do business, "I suppose though... That I like red a great deal. Red carnations are very appealing to me anyways."

"Alright, well, I will buy carnations then. Two dozen. I would like one dozen delivered to Linnea, and I will provide the address, and the other...well, you can have those, since you've been very helpful." Keitoleinen replies. He ponders the word sexual harassment. It is one of those feminist words. The problem must be feminism. Women just expect too much these days.
"You know, you're nice looking. Sort of sweet..and a little defiant. That's one of my favorite combinations in women." Keitoleinen states to her. He offers a slight smile and forgets about Linnea for a moment.

Ophelia did not reply to his last comments about her and avoided even glancing at him as he smiled at her. Pretending he had said nothing. She picked out the red carnations and marched back over to the counter to put the wrapping and bow on the bouquet right away. Once she was done with that she got out one of the little cards from under the counter to attach to the bouquet.
"I need the address for the flowers and.. Is there anything special you want written on the card to your lady Linnea?" she asked, finally lifting her emerald green eyes over to him with her pen ready to write.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" Keitoleinen asks. The flower shop is so quiet that his voice is uncomfortably loud, even to him. He wanders over to the cash register and leans against the counter. "Don't write that on the card. That was to you. On the card, I want you to write something like... "Nothing is what it appears to be. Try to look beyond what you know about me. Your friend, Keitoleinen."
"Do you suppose that sounds fine?" He asks Ophelia. "Oh, and what is your name? My name is Jumala Keitoleinen. But you can just call me Keitoleinen, or Keito if it is easier to remember."

"I don't know, maybe they will go along with my blimp idea." Dinari says to Momo and Max with a laugh. "Sorry to hear about your girlfriend, Max. That's really hard. Is there anything I can do to cheer you up?" Dinari asks while waiting outside for a cab. They will take a cab to the airport and from there, the Allmart jet for a joy ride across the Americas. Dinari is pretty excited about the trip, especially to show them Allwhere Florida from above. Finally the cab comes to pick up the three of them for the airport.

Ceph makes a face as he holds the phone to his ear and listens to Li's offered assignment. He didn't really like the idea of waiting around for two more weeks.. Although a change in scenery wouldn't be so bad. The actions of the Moderator had made him more curious and made him wonder how long it would be before He would have to confront them personally.
"Understood. What do you want me doing in the meantime?" He asks her, pressing his back up against the wall and staring straight to the otherside of his hotel room.

Ring ring
I hear my cell phone ring and just feel my heart drop into my stomach. I'm always working, and being loaded with more and more work daily. Forever and always it seems that I'll be working. Such a shame.
Thinking for a moment, I decide that it's probably best not to answer my phone. Probably just another assignment due in a matter of hours. However, I know my responsibilities and I know my duties.
Ring ring
Looking at the screen, I realize that it's my own sister and quickly answer, eager to hear what she has to say.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask. |

Just as Zindy Hoped into the back of the Van and Was about to answer Heikki, Zindy Herd a voice And turned her head to looking out the back of the van her side bangs falling in her face Seeing a man Walking up to the van.
“We got company…” She then says looking at Heikki thinking it would be a good idea to just make a run for it seeing on how it was only one man, but yet again there could be more coming though she has been in worse situations and if they ran it would make them seem guilty though they were,
all they needed to think of now was a good Excuse. |

"Until then, I want you to pick up some flowers for Annette Rosenthal. You see, it is her birthday next week. I have a busy work schedule, so I won't have time to pick them up." I reply to Cephrien. "That's all I require at this time." I state. I hear someone at the door of my office. "I have to go. I will hear from you...after the meeting in London then. Good luck with things."
With that, I hang up the phone and get up to unlock my door. I let in the person on the other side and pretend that everything is completely fine. "Sorry about that, I didn't notice the door was locked." I say with a slight smile.
(This will give you a chance to post to Ophelia, who owns the flower shop)

"Not much, I just thought I would give you a call and see how things are going." I say cheerfully to my brother. While we talk, I start cleaning up my bedroom a little bit. It gets very messy. I start putting some clothes into the hamper.
"How has work been, Lon? Doing anything interesting lately?" I ask. I guess I don't have much to say but small talk.

"Great." Heikki replies to Zindy. He gets out of the van to talk to the new comer. "I know him.." He whispers to Zindy. "He's sort of a loser. He doesn't know me though." He says quietly under his breath.
He takes a few steps closer to Tristan, leaving Zindy behind him. "What's the problem. We're only delivering flowers. Don't you see that this is a flower truck." He states. True enough, the van is marked as a flower delivery van. It is a van that Bonifaz stole from a flower shop ...somewhere..at some point in time.

Ophelia wrote on the card and gazed quietly back up at him... Jumala Keitoleinin... His name sounded.. Some what familiar. Where had she heard his name? And should she really give her name to him? Well, giving her name wasn't that serious. She usually wore a name tag anyways, but she had lost it recently somewhere in the greenhouse.
"My name is Ophelia.." she answered tucking one of her dark brown curls behind her ear and slightly narrowed her eyes, " I suppose I do get uncomfortable when men say such things.. Especially when they're sending flowers to another woman."
She flipped over the card to write down the address, "Where do you want these delivered, Mr.Keito?"

"Yeah, as if I'm really THAT stupid. If you just have flowers, then prove it. Open up some of those boxes you have inside the van." Tristan orders. He figures that he can take this scrawny guy and the woman. They look weak anyway. He wasn't born yesterday and figures that most people wouldn't be delivering flowers at night. And why would they need two people to deliver the flowers? It doesn't add up. However, it is true that the van is for flower delivery. He ponders this for a moment while he waits to be shown one of the boxes.

Linnea toke the money, "Sure I have lots of time....I did forget to tell you that I do work elsewhere besides the gallery so I may be there too, but I don't spend any more time there then I have to."
She lead him down to the gallery.
"This is it, nothing special but I worked really hard."

"Where else do you work?" Horacio asks if he follows Linnea down to the gallery. He looks around at some of the paintings and is very impressed. "If you need any help cleaning or with admission to the gallery, let me know. I would gladly help you out, seeing as you are so busy." Horacio replies with a kind smile. He feels that Linnea seems a little stressed. He wonders why this is. Maybe she works too much.
