This is definitely not Shun's first time with these eggs. In fact, it's a third. He still didn't know what these eggs mean as a decoration. But he liked how pretty they looked. Maybe, just maybe, he's starting to think they're to honor the heart eggs that are no more? It is definitely dark, but the way they are presented, kind of brings some sort of feeling of hope. Everytime he's here, he's always going to paint more eggs. This time, to commemorate the fact that Shura, his second egg is here.

Shura has definitely been excited to do this thing with Shun. Even if Leo is being a little sour that Shura decided to do this egg painting too after he bragged that it's a thing he did with Shun several times. Like it was exclusive. Of course, Shun liked both of his guardian characters, there was no favorites. Being here is somewhat relaxing. Shura and Leo aren't bickering despite being relatively sour with one another.

"Here we are. Let's get painting, yeah?" So they picked a place to sit quietly to paint more eggs for the collection. Anyone is of course, welcome to join them. He did bring extra paintbrushes, after all.

((thanks for the starter!!))

"What...the hell...?" Apart from these three words, the blonde girl was speechless. It wasn't the first time she'd seen these funky eggs hanging around school today. In fact, they'd been all over the campus like some misplaced treasure hunt. Whipping out her phone, she checked the calendar date to see if today was Easter. Nope. She scrolled through the school newsletter to see if anyone had an explanation. Nope. Then what on Earth?? Emilia was so utterly confused.

All the while her guardian character excitedly fluttered around, singling out each egg and even giving them nicknames. "Ooh, ooh, look, Emilia! This one's a pretty one~! Oh and this one too! And this--"

"I get the first two but that last one is just ugly as fu--" Her turquoise eyes spotted a boy who looked to be around her age getting comfortable in a spot with paint brushes. "--What's that dude doin'?"


Ange hovered next to her owner's head to see where she was looking. The teenage boy wasn't alone, he had his own guardian character joining him! "Oh my, could they be the artists behind all of these wonderful eggs? What exquisite beauty!" She clapped her tiny hands together excitedly with star-filled eyes. "Emilia, we must approach them!"

"What? No, HEY--!" Before the girl even had a chance to reply, the little angel was already zooming over there with a sing-song voice.

"Excuse me~ May we have a word~?" Ange asked politely with a bright smile as Emilia came jogging over, carrying a scowl.

He started to paint the eggs as he hummed a little tune himself. But then, someone came to ask him a question. "Hmm? You got something on your mind? Ask away." It's a girl he's never really seen before and her guardian character. "Don't mind me, I'm just painting another egg for display. It's my third time here. It's pretty relaxing, you know?" He smiled, half expecting the other person to join him in the egg painting activity.

"I'm just paying my respects. I kind of heard rumors that they represent eggs that no longer exist? Or rather something to remember your egg by?" Shura seems happy that he gets to finally paint his own egg with Shun. Who cares what it really means. "Either way, egg painting is also a nice thing to do." Even if it's not easter at the moment. He did put up an egg that resembles Leo's egg in the myriad of eggs that exist here. And now it's the other guardian's turn.

"Shun, I suggest you put that egg over there. Near the trashbin." He frowned and shot a glare at Shura. "Do not listen to the evil one. The likeness of my egg should be there with the rest of the beautiful eggs." And Shun agreed with Shura on that one. Fair treatment for all! "Ohhh, and who is this angel right here? What a delight to meet other guardian characters! I'm Shura. And this here is Leo." Completely ignoring Leo's temper tantrum for the millionth time now, he thought it would be better to associate himself with the other guardian character in the area. "I can introduce myself, thank you very much."

"Ahahaha....They can...Get kind of noisy. I'm sorry." Shun attempted to make conversation with Emi, at least so she doesn't feel too left out of all the fun.

[Emilia (Emi)]

((I'm really sorry for replying so late!! I got caught up with a lot of school work but don't worry, I didn't forget about my RPs at all!...kinda;;; Really sorry!!!))

The mini angel spoke with a chipper tone as she hovered next to the stylish teen. "Oh yes, the eggs you've painted are so beautiful!" She listened carefully when Shun shared the rumors he'd heard, her eyes lighting up. "Wow! That's so nice!!"

But just as she remarked, the blonde girl cut in. "Huh? Sounds dum--"

Yet Ange butted in before her owner could finish her rude insult. "Emilia, paint an egg for me!! Don't you think it'll be nice~?" Clasping her hands together with an innocent smile, she quite pushily, forced the English girl to take a seat across the boy.

Hesitantly and not without complaints, Emi soon found a paint brush in her hand. "What!? I can't paint as good as him!" She pointed with the brush and scowled, feeling embarrassed. Clumsily picking up a free egg and splodging the hot pink paint all over it, it took her a while to notice the other two guardian characters happily(?) conversing. She tuned in just in time to hear the introductions and couldn't help thinking: they look kinda like bugs...alright, that one's bee and that one's beetle. Despite being slightly grossed out by the bug-like appearance, she at least tried to get along.

"The name's Emi." The girl introduced herself rather gruffly a she focused intensely on painting the egg.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Leo and Shura! My name is Ange~" The guardian character gave a small giggle and apologized for her master's behaviour. "She's a nice girl when you get to know her, really!"

"What are you, my mum?" Emi scowled and looked over to Shun. "Don't worry about it, this thing (Ange) can get pretty noisy too so just ignore her whenever you like." She paused and realized he hadn't introduced himself yet. "What's your name? Shoon?" Of course, her question was very direct and her pronunciation the worst.

[Deleted]

npnp just take your time really. Glad you remembered though ;v; ))

"Looks like she agrees that it does look beautiful. How about it, Leo?" Shura felt the need to prod Leo about it, after receiving some reinforcement from Ange. "NOTHING associated with you is beautiful." Whenever they start to bicker like this, it's when Shun really has the motive to ignore them. "Yeah, why not join in? It's kinda like saying 'hey world, I was here!', or something like that!" He happily went back to painting. "Not as good? Well, if it makes you feel any better, all I'm doing is copying my own egg's design." He wasn't much of an artist despite coming from an entirely artistic family.

Oh hey, but she's doing it! She's really painting. Despite her scowl and complaints, it seems like she's somewhat like Leo. Always complaining even though there wasn't any real problem with doing the thing they have to do. "Nice to meet you, Emi. And yeah, I'm Shun, that's not wrong." Even though her pronunciation is slightly off, he'll let it slide. Best not to get into a bad situation by correcting this one. She is probably very likely to just retort back with something.

"D'awww, I'm sure she's an ANGEL. Just like you. But it's a pleasure to meet you all the same." Shura liked it when people are embarrassed in a sense. That reaction gives him life. "Hmm...Yes. Nice to meet you." Leo is of course, not as readily friendly as the guardian character.

"Well, they do kind of look after you in a way. Those two are also pretty noisy. They can sort of represent your parents, I guess?" But he can't help but snicker at the thought of Leo and Shura being HIS parents. But even if that's the case, they are a million times better than his own real life parents. "It's not everyday you have a pocket sized mom."

[Emilia (Emi)]

ahh ty!!))

Oi, oi, oi...was that bee being sarcastic with his 'I'm sure she's an ANGEL' thing or was that a really bad pun? Was the first thought running through Emi's mind. Either way, both ticked her off somewhat and she found herself clutching the egg she was painting so tight, it started to crack. Gee, this egg had better been hard boiled in advance. 

Ange shook both of their small hands (rather forcefully too) and grabbed an egg for herself. Struggling to lift it a bit, she reached the same height the other two guardians were at and smiled at them. "Shall we paint some eggs together~?"

Emi choked. Pocket-sized mums? She sure didn't like the sound of that! "You're a weird guy, Shoon." Her mouth had already spoken the words out loud before she could stop and think about them. Oops. Sneaking a glance over at him, her hand prolonged the finishing touches of the painted egg in awkwardness. Eh, he'll take it okay, right...?

Though she had convinced herself it'd all be fine, the girl stayed much quieter from then on wards. Emi felt that if she finished the egg she was working on, just that small change of action of grabbing another egg or doing something else would make the atmosphere even more stiff. So the English girl came to the conclusion she should procrastinate on the egg on hand until the moment was over. She tried to think of other things as she randomly splattered colours, like what to paint on the next egg for instance. Occasionally taking the odd glance at the teen across her and sometimes looking over at Ange.

The petite angel had already helped herself to the smaller brushes, offering a couple to Shura and Leo before starting on her own egg herself. Emi turned her attention back to her ugly rainbow-coloured egg and drew a bunch of weird faces on it.

"Mister Shun!" Ange suddenly exclaimed, breaking the ice. "I'll paint an egg for you! What would you like on it?" She asked innocently and continued as usual.

"Erk!" The blonde girl flinched and peeked across her.

[Deleted]

"Oh. Your painty paint egg is breaking." He pointed at the egg in her clutch, cracking a little bit before she stopped. "Well, I can't blame you for different sense of aesthetics." Heck, a cracked egg in this case means a lot of things. But you wouldn't want your own egg to crack quite like that.

"I don't see why not. Painting is like another form of meditation. Relaxing and enjoyable. I do a lot of ink paintings myself." He went to help Ange pick up the egg to a better location, all the while with Leo tailing them. He isn't much for helping. "Yes, and none of those paintings you made EVER came out for the public to see. Probably because you actually suck at it." And by public, he really means himself and Shun. "Shhhhh...It begins now." He much rather paint in peace than to hear any more shit talking from the other guardian. Ignorance is bliss.

"Weird? Okay." He's definitely heard worse. But this one by far is the tamest one. "I can live with that." He laughed a bit, continuing to paint the egg he was painting earlier. "Well, I can say that you're a creative one, that egg has a lot of character." He motioned cheerfully at her brightly colored rainbow egg. It actually makes him want to do the same.

"Aww, for me? That's nice! Ummm...I like cute things, so you can draw the cutest thing you can think of." And for him, it'll be difficult to choose what the cutest thing is. Because there are SO MANY cute things. Way more than he could ever count. "Oh, but just Shun is fine. Mister actually adds a layer of age on to me. But then again...That's not so bad considering..." He mumbled and trailed off himself before snapping out of it. Back to the task at hand.

"Then we should do something for Emi here as well. A sign of peace and friendship. How wonderful!" He glanced at Emi's scowling face and waited for her response. Leo on the other hand, is already working on his own masterpiece. He had painted a bunch of aliens on his side of the egg. Of course he would deny that he's having a blast. "Not a bad idea. An egg for an egg." Though he wouldn't care if she didn't want anything from them.

[Emilia (Emi)]

The tiny chara thanked the bee-like chara for his assistance. "Why, I'm sure your ink paintings are just lovely, Shura!" Ange remarked and beamed at him. "I'd love to see them someday!" She had previously dismissed Leo's snarks but decided to pink on it this time. "Goodness, Leo, must you continue to spread negativity? Let's all just have a good time!" The angel exclaimed and set up the paints + water.

Emilia gasped. HE TOOK THAT!? Most people got offended by being called weird but apparently not this young man. He really was a weird guy. Especially how he just laughed it off! Maybe he's a good guy? She questioned herself, feeling stupid for getting so worked up. "R-Really?" Did being creative and painting an egg with a lot of character count as a compliment? She didn't really know but felt a little bashful. "I'm really bad at art though..." The English girl muttered at first and spoke a little louder. "No one's ever said that to me before." Clumsily, her index finger scratched her cheek, smudging green paint on her face in the process.

"Yes, of course!" The angel nodded eagerly and elaborated. "Think of it as a thank you for taking the time to paint all these lovely eggs and conversing with us! Especially with Emilia." She softly whispered on the end. "Something cute? Hmm.." Her face practically had the words 'what is the cutest thing ever' written all over it. A light bulb seemed to glow up on her end and she got right to it! As she covered the egg in a layer of cyan blue, Ange briefly glanced up at him before returning her attention back to the egg. "I think Mister Shun sounds classy! Although, if that's what you wish, I am fine with addressing you as 'Shun.'"

"C-Cute things..." Emi gasped again for the second time that day and gaped at him with wide eyes. What was this feeling? It was like she found a comrade in arms, a heaven-sent (that wasn't her guardian). Maybe they could get along better than she thought. "Huh?? Something for me?" The student half-asked herself, half-asked Shura and Leo. "I, uh, I guess..." To be honest, she wanted something cute too but...her image... "Anything's fine, how about uh...something cu-- I mean, something cool?"

"Emilia, why don't you just say something cute too?" Ange gently probed and suggested another idea after hearing Leo out. "Ooh~ This is like an egg exchange! In that case, Emilia, draw something for Shura and Leo!"

Draw something for the bee and beetle? She looked up and frowned at the two guardians in thought. "'Kay, I got this." And instead of asking what they wanted, went straight to dabbing on the colours.

[Deleted]

"Oh, I'm not being negative. You better believe me that he is actually bad at it." Of course, even HE hasn't seen it for himself. But it's Shura, anything he says could very well be a lie. Not that he's clear of the lying charge himself, either. "You don't trust that one." He finally said to Ange, while Shura continues to do his thing and paint. It really doesn't bother him at all. "I can and will show her my ink paintings. I WAS going to show you too, but I guess you already have your doubts." He smirked. WHich only served to make Leo say 'hmph' with a pouty face of doom. Don't take it seriously.

"Yeah, really!" Shun answered with a bright smile as usual. He's always default cheerful anyway. "I'm not much of a painter myself, but I guess if we're talking 'copy a design', I can do that." Tell him to do things by himself without a guide, and he'll probably fail. "You know what's weird? My parents are both artists and I got none of their talent!" He laughed at it. Casual talk, right? "Your egg looks nice, okay?" He continued to paint himself after reassuring her. He noticed the green paint now on her face, but didn't want to mention it. Ignoring it is better.

"Aww come on, it's nothing. I like friends and making new ones! And thank you for talking to Shura and Leo and me as well!" Especially Leo, who can be quite difficult with expressing himself. It seems he's made friends in other guardian characters but just can't admit it. Typical tsundere. "Classy? Hahaha, I prefer just Shun, never really into the formal classy stuff." When was the last time he tried to introduce himself as 'hunny'. He's changed a lot since then.

"Yeah cute things. You seem kind of surprised." He can't help but grin stupidly at her reaction. People always seem surprised at the things he liked. Especially since his looks don't do much to corroborate it. "I have full trust in Ange, and that I'll probably have the cutest looking egg made for me!" He's excited to see it when it's done, definitely.

"Well, cute and cool, then. Who says you can't be both?" Shura replied to both Emilia and Ange's request. "Oh, oh! I'll draw something for Ange then! How about painting cute eggs and trading them? I think we all can get something nice from that! Unless Ange prefers I make something else for her?" Shun clapped happily. What a nice idea! It's nice to hang out with people like this. "I think the both of us have no preference whatsoever. Artistic freedom is in effect." Shura nodded in response to Leo. They would be appreciative of the painted egg no matter what.

[Emilia (Emi)]

"Hooray!" Ange cheered obliviously, excited already to see Shura's ink paintings. She gave Leo a small, comforting touch on the shoulder as if to reassure him. "Don't worry, I'm sure Shura will show you too when it comes to it!"

The English girl stared at Shun's cheerful smile, unsure what to think. When he asked 'you know what's weird?' She immediately thought (and was tempted to say) "you" but restrained herself well. Instead, she spoke her next thoughts. "Well, duh. You're not your parents, you're you." Though they were pretty inspiring words, her tone suggested it was the most common thing in the world: nothing new, just an everyday thing. "Mm, but thanks. I'll name this egg 'Shoon' then!" It was meant to be a joke but then she literally started labeling it.

The tiny girl smiled angelically and did a makeshift curtsy, being careful not to get any paint on her white dress. "My pleasure! You are all quite delightful to be with~!"Ange replied and made a mental note to refer to Mister Shun as just Shun the next time they met.

"Surprised? Yeah, no...no, yeah, no, uh--" She didn't know what to say. Yes, Emi was surprised he liked cute things and just like her, their appearances didn't quite match with their likes. The girl had faced a few encounters where keeping her out-of-character hobbies to herself was nearly impossible so she tried not to give anything away. She'd only just met this guy after all, couldn't very well be coming out of the closet now. His guardian character's words struck her though: who says you can't be both? The words were a murmur as they drifted off her lips. "Who says...you can't be both?" Good question. Emilia fell into deep thought as she mindlessly painted the two eggs in front of her, alternating between the two. She was only half-paying attention to what the others were saying around her as the question rippled in her head.

"Oh, yes please!" Ange clapped her tiny hands together in sync with the male teen and nodded eagerly. "Let's do that then! Shun, please give me your specialty egg! I'm sure whatever it is, it will be wonderful~!" The angel was definitely enjoying this moment to the fullest. And although Emilia might not have looked like she was too, inside, she appreciated this time that was so foreign to her.

[Deleted]

"He wouldn't. It's not like I WANT to see it." Leo crossed his arms after putting down his paintbrush. Though anyone with a brain can probably tell he's not being serious about NOT wanting to see it. "Oh, please forgive him. He's just being himself." Shura can't help but snicker at his reaction. What a textbook tsundere Leo is.

"You're right..." Wow, he didn't expect the girl to be telling him something he doesn't hear from other people. It's usually 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' and things like that. It did him a bit of good inside to hear that coming from a stranger. He was always afraid of one day turning into the horrible people his parents are. "OH, you're naming it after me? That's so nice of you!" He laughed cheerfully. Even if it's because he's strange, it doesn't matter.

"Hmmmm, if that's how you're going to play it, then I'll give 110% on another egg as well and call that one Emi. Fair is fair!" He started with a new egg. Of course, he immediately started painting with pastel colors, putting little flowers on it and fluffy looking rabbits. There's really no use hiding something when it's obvious that you like it. So she's kind of like Leo with the things they like. They hate to admit it. "And more flowers here...And here..." It's starting to look so pastel cute that it probably hurts. Hmmmm, lately he's been meeting other people who is more relatable to Leo than anyone else. "Yep, who says you can't be both? But I guess I want to be cute a lot more than I want to be cool myself." Even he's still struggling with identity.

"Roger that! Two specialty eggs coming right up!" He's never really had so much fun arting like this before. He usually associated these activities with his parents and thus always avoided it. However, these eggs are an exception. They serve a purpose. They serve as a rememberance. One day, when his wish is granted, maybe he can come back here and 'see' Leo and Shura again. How nice would that be?

[Emilia (Emi)]

The petite angel giggled at the two's exchange. She believed that Leo surely wasn't quite so honest with his feelings and that Shura probably knew much better. They had a good relationship between each other and their owner. Just watching their interactions made her smile. "Thank you!" Ange spoke softly and continued working on the egg dedicated to Shun.

"Heheh, right!?" Emi gave the teen a toothy grin, feeling super proud of herself for saying something nice to someone for once. (And apparently, she wasn't the only one proud as Ange listened in the whole time with a wide smile) It seemed they were both good for each other as the previously awkward atmosphere was completely non-existent now. She presented the rainbow egg to him, pointing at the spot she'd painted his name. 'SHOON' in big, bold letters- and in English, of course. "Did I spell it right?!" Her happy face was clueless just how bad her Japanese really was.

The girl was shocked. Did he just say he'd make another egg called Emi? Her name? On an egg? "W-W-Wait, that's a bit..." She stopped and sighed. I guess it'd be kinda nice... She thought and tugged on her hair, feeling rather bashful. Seeing Shun fired up made her spirits rise so she mentally told herself to give 120% on these two eggs! Although, her constant glances at the super cute egg he was painting was making her anxious. Pastels, flowers and rabbits? They're sooooo adorable! Her eyes sparkled as she stopped and stared. "Cute and cool, huh...?" Emilia murmured and looked over to Shun. "I think you could pull off both." She gave a short, dry laugh and finished Shura's egg. Emi held it up to him, rotating it in her fingers. "Here, here! A bumble bee for you!" Because the guardian character really did resemble a bee in her eyes.

"Oooh, I can't wait!" Ange shivered with excitement then turned to her now completed egg. It was a bright blue one with a simple pattern of shapes that formed a collar, 2 buttons and a tie. You could say it was quite the funny yet trendy egg. She had to wait for the paint to dry though, so the angel set the egg aside and started on another pair. This time for her new friends, Shura and Leo. "Any special requests~?" She asked the two with a sing-song voice yet her indigo eyes were directed at Emi's openly smiling face. She could tell this had been a good experience for her owner and hopefully everyone else here. Something they could take back and look upon with fond memories.
