As expected, Edna knows none of the flowers Mana replies with. Perhaps she might’ve seen them on the road during the journey with Sorey, but there was no one to properly tell her what the flowers’ names were, or what they symbolize, or even what they looked like. That had been what Onii-chan did for her. She must learn for herself from now on.  ❝  … Are they flowers hard to find? I’d like to see them one day if you think they fit me.  ❞  Edna is wise for her age, but even then, she doesn’t know everything. She is still fated to be an early bloomer, though, so she ought to live up to it. A lady like her——adorned in flowers herself, said to be as lovely as a white rose——should really learn the language of flowers, honestly.  ❝  Of course, I’d like to see an edelweiss first, though.  ❞  Surely, it’s a grand flower. Edna wouldn’t mind being a grand one  /  after all, an edelweiss endures and endures, much like herself. 

❝  You’re supposed to talk at tea parties, so a lady shouldn’t apologize for doing something correct.  ❞  She grabs a scone to eat, watching Mana work on the crown. What does it feel like to be passionate about something? Edna doesn’t know, but she is good at listening, so she says,  ❝  So talk all you want. If there’s a flower on your mind, then talk about it.  ❞

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘✿ ❛ What flowers described Edna? She needed a moment to think about that, to cycle through the thousands of flowers she recalled. ❝Astrantias, they're the flowers of elegance but they can also represent strength and courage. Fairy bells or Oxalis symbolize good luck but they are cute just like Edna is. Oh and then there is Edelweiss, which is a flower that grows in harsh conditions on mountains, they also symbolize resilience, purity, and courage. I think Edelweiss would be my top pick for you?❞ Of course her interactions with Edna have been limited but she thinks she has read the other well enough to go with edelweiss.

A nod at the go ahead for cosmos, she was going to make the prettiest flower crown ever, it was what Edna deserved! ❝Sorry for the flower ramble.. I like flowers a lot.❞

❝  Oh ...  ❞  Onii-chan is so smart. He always has an answer to anything she asks him. She has the smartest, wisest older brother in the world.  ❝  Then what else can we do to support him? Won't he be lonely when we're not there? He's always by himself until I come by. I know I'd be lonely without you there, Onii-chan, so I don't want him to feel lonely.  ❞  

"I don't see why not, we need to be careful how much we give him though - you don't want him to overindulge and not try to do things for himself." He's a proud older brother to the world's cutest, kindest, and smartest little sister.

❝  Can we also give it a big bowl for me to refill it with acorns and berries we find?  ❞  She wants her squirrel friend to be as comfortable as he can be.

@ednaeflowers replied: "if you're making the house, then can i be in charge of decorating 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 "

"Of course you can," there's no doubt it will be the nicest looking house a squirrel can live in.

❝  ... You're the most complex of them all since you have everything memorized to the very letter. Which other big brother in the world can do that?  ❞

She knows what you're doing, Julippy. You're not funny.

"If by 'complex' you mean that our rules are a complex structure, then I agree wholeheartedly." He knows what Lady Edine meant, but where's the fun in that?

As long as Ludger enjoyed the bit though, then it's fine. You can't win them all.

❝  So basically, the 300 so-called 'Big Brother Rules' can be summed up by just 3 words: little sibling complex? Okay.  ❞

She loves Onii-chan very, very much, but she would pretend she doesn't know who he is if he committed more than half of this list to her. Bye. She's walking out of here. What a load of nonsense anyway.

Watching Pupbo happily eat her fish makes her feel a sense of accomplishment … He likes it, so that’s all that matters to her.  ❝  If he’s eating it with no problems, then it’s all under control, Meebo,  ❞  she huffs. Leave it to him to be all logical and safe. Bah. Edna will be proactive here! 

Most of the smoke cleared out by now, so she takes the pan and sets it in the sink. She points to the fire that’s still lit at the stove.  ❝  You can use your water and help clean the knife while I clean the cutting board, and then you can put out the fire.  ❞  Oh, wow. Pupbo already ate two pieces. Maybe Edna’s secret skill is heating up fish?! She tosses the fish wrapper into the trash bin, then tries to look for spare towels. Ugh, who arranged this place?! 

❝  Here.  ❞  She places a towel on the counter for him.  ❝  The owner’s going to freak out anyway no matter if I turn on the sink or have you splash everything with water, so pick your poison, Meebo.  ❞  She sort of hopes he splashes everything with water. They should clean up in style.

Yeah no, he was good. Mikleo would just stand back, far FAR back with Pupbo and keep an eye on him. The water seraph had to shield the poor puppy's eyes when the random burst of flames roared up. And....smoke, geez. Mikleo cough with one free hand waving his hand around as if trying to clear the smoke. Pupbo also giving a few small puppy coughs.

"Under control. Edna, you literally had a huge burst of flame and.." He coughed again from the lingering smoke, lightly placing Pupbo down beside the plate of fish. The puppy eagerly approached the plate and not waiting gulped down on of the three pieces of fish.

"Well, at least Pupbo seems to be satisfied. But we need to clear the smoke out of here and clean up. If the owner wakes up and sees the kitchen in disarray, it could be trouble. Even though they can't see us they will wonder why a puppy is mysteriously eating cooked fish." Mikleo glanced over to see that Pupbo had finished two of the three pieces of fish, not even paying attention to them.

In all honesty, Edna thinks it’s just plain stupid to make underage school girls do manual labor all because a guy insisted so. Well, she’s never met ‘Shirogane-san’ before, but Edna thinks he has quite the ego already just from what Mint is telling her. Men. At least the girls are getting paid.  ❝  If he insists on you, then I suppose you’re all ‘special’ in some way.  ❞  Not in the weirdo-obsessive-stalker kind of way, but in a there’s-more-than-what-meets-the-eye kind of way. Not that Edna knows for sure, of course. She doesn’t need a job. Money is still a human creation that a seraph like her does not really need in everyday life. She does keep some gald on her to leave for the owner if she needs to buy something from a human vendor, because a true lady is not a thief, but it doesn’t seem like people in this era use gald as currency anymore. Instead, they use … yen? She’ll never understand why currency is different now. Humans make everything so complex.  ❝  For example, maybe you have hidden potential that only he sees.  ❞  A pause of suspense.  ❝  Or maybe he just likes seeing girls dressed up as maids.  ❞  As a point of reference, all of the guys Edna’s been around have been a little strange in some way. ‘Shirogane-san’ is probably no exception.

She is genuinely awed at how Mint is inclined to the environment. If only more people would think like her …  ❝  It’s also good to pick herbs fresh when using them to make tea. They’re most fragrant that way.  ❞  She thinks about when Dezel yelled at her about ‘yanking’ them from the ground. Tsk. She’d never be so uncouth.  ❝  That’s why people-watching is a skill. To know your enemy, you must observe them first. The same logic applies here, enemy or not.  ❞  With how chaotic it is in here, though, Edna does wonder how Mint can even people-watch without going crazy.  ❝  That’s true. I’m the younger one.  ❞  She nods, then stares at her tea quietly.  ❝  It’s always quiet around me, so I guess some noise is okay. Only sometimes, though.  ❞  But that’s not what’s on Edna’s mind right now. She can’t help but be curious now that she knows Mint is also a younger sister. Perhaps she's just being wistful, but she sort of wants to see what it's like from a younger sister to another.  ❝  … Do you and your brother still spend time together lately?  ❞

Yes, Mint had to agree. It was rather boring sitting in a stuffy classroom all day - but she'd also be lying if some of the subjects she studied didn't peak her interest. Mathematics was one of them as it closely tied into her family's success and her older brother's future. Though she was not as academically gifted with it as her brother was, she tried her hardest. She didn't want to bring shame to her family name. And she was much better at it than some of her friends. Her thoughts drift back towards the past when Ichigo and Purin had caught Retasu tutoring her. In a mix of annoyance, embarrassment, and shouting... eventually things had turned to laughter and happy smiles. Now the girls all studied together (when they could in regards to Zacro-onee chan) at the café and had Akasaka-san's desserts to treat themselves to after a well-earned study session. "Purin does know how to bring... the fireworks, I guess you could say." She shrugged. "I've told that to Shirogane-san plenty of times, but he insists upon us." Undercover operations for his Mew Project or not... Mint did have to say she preferred this over returning home every night to a quiet house full of servants. It got rather lonely, but here...

Mint nods her head as she listens in. It seemed like the two of them would get along just fine, and if they became friends, well.... Ichigo better watch out. The pink mew mew wouldn't possibly know what to do with two people like herself. "Yes, I agree. It's a shame more people don't appreciate nature more. I try to source all of my clothing and foods from environmentally safe outlets." She still remembers when her and Aoyama-san had bonded over this. He, too, was serious about the environment. "I understand completely about the people watching. I do it all the time here. I've learned all sorts of things about people." Mint hadn't pegged Edna for someone who cared about the environment. In this day and age, 'nature lovers' were more about saying things than doing things and what things they did do, didn't help anyone want to save the planet. It was hard finding people that were actually serious about saving the environment and weren't just in for socital brownie points. "Oh, you have a brother, too? I take it he's your older sibling and you're the youngest - just like me! But I'm afraid you won't find much peace and quiet here. It's probably much more quiet outside than it is in here."
