Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine looked down towards the area where her friends stood, a small smile still on her lips. She turned and walked down the other set of stairs, going towards Roxas and the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Kairi chuckled at what was said in their conversation, the girl then turning her head when she sensed movement out of the corner of her eye. "Namine," she said happily, a smile spreading over her lips. She got best in show! That was wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine felt a shy smile appear on her lips, her free hand coming up to tuck back some hair that wasn't back in the ponytail. "Well, that was unexpected," she said with a shy laugh, stopping by her friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 "I knew you could do it," Roxas said happily, putting a hand on Namine's shoulder closest to him. That was why he entered her in the competition. And she got the best award! It was only fitting, or so he believed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine smiled shyly, looking over at Roxas. That was his way of saying "I told you so", but it was much more polite. "Thanks," she said softly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 "Of course," Roxas said, taking a step closer and wrapping his arm completely around Namine's shoulders. "You wanna do anything to celebrate?" It was Namine's pick, and he was sure everyone else was up for it. He knew he was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 "It doesn't matter to me," Namine said, faintly shaking her head. She had enough of a reward with the prizes that she won. This was an unexpected surprise, but she was happy now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Roxas smiled softly, and he looked to the others. "Well, what do you guys think?" he asked them. He was up for anything, though he couldn't help but wonder if Namine would want to go to the meadow later on. That would be nice, just the two of them to celebrate her big win. But now it was time for everyone to hang out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 "It's up to you guys," Sora said with a faint shrug. "Kairi and I have a dinner date in a few hours, though." So they wouldn't be up to doing too much, since they had a reservation to keep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Riku had his arms crossed over his polo, and he shrugged. "Anything works for me, but my mom said I gotta be home soon to take care of Jazz," he said. His mom was always on him about the dog, but he didn't mind; she was a good puppy...most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 "...I'd actually just like to stay in the museum until closing," Namine confessed with a faint smile. She would like it if her friends were there too, but she would understand if they got bored and left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Roxas looked down at Namine at that, and though he was a little disappointed, he smiled all the same. This was her day, after all; he would do as she wished. "Okay," he said with a small nod. He would stay with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine knew Roxas enough to know that he wasn't thrilled about the idea, even if he smiled to cover it up. "But if you get bored, you can leave," she said, mainly speaking to Roxas. "I don't mind being alone." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Roxas brought his free hand to the back of his head, chuckling in embarrassment. How did Namine do that? She saw right through him. "Okay..." he said. But he would still stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine smiled softly, nodding. "Let's go over there," she said, motioning towards the area she hadn't been to yet. She wanted to see if Ben's painting was over there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Roxas took his arm back from Namine's shoulders and motioned in that direction. "Lead the way," he said with a faint smile. He would follow her; he didn't really know what to look at, since he wasn't as into this art stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine nodded faintly, waving to her friends before she started over towards the part of the museum that she hadn't explored yet. She was excited to see the rest, but she was more excited for Saturday where Roxas wouldn't pressure her at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Ben stayed around the museum until it was nearly closing time, and the place was pretty much deserted by that point. But he was stuck on one piece of art that he was really interested in, and he had been staring at it for a while now. It was such a wonderful piece, and there were so many hidden meanings behind it.

Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine was still in the museum for a long time, though she was alone now. Roxas was bored and she said he could go home, and everyone else left a while ago. She liked the quiet of the museum, and she sensed she was one of the only people left as she looked at a painting. It was beautiful... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 Ben lowered his hands from his hips, deciding that he could look at this painting more on Saturday. There was plenty of time to look over it. He started toward another large room full of displays, but he stopped short when he saw a familiar blonde. He smiled to himself and quietly started over to where she was, seeing her studying a piece as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine thought she heard soft footsteps, but they echoed throughout the area, so that told her somebody was coming towards her spot. She turned slightly, but she wasn't surprised about who was still in the museum. "You're staying till closing too?" she asked with a faint smile, seeing Ben.

Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 "Mm," Ben hummed with a small smile. "I figured I could get a head start for Saturday." He came to a stop beside Namine, glancing at the painting briefly before his eyes found her again. "I take it you had the same idea?" His smile grew a little in amusement. He somehow wasn't surprised to see her here, for whatever reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 Namine nodded faintly, glancing at the painting before she looked back at Ben. "I couldn't tear myself away from this place," she said softly. "I love looking at masterpieces like these." It made her very, very happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 11, 2011 "I know what you mean," Ben said in agreement, his grey eyes finding the painting she was looking at again. The museum was something he couldn't really describe. "It's peaceful." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 11, 2011 "It is," Namine agreed. Another thought came to mind then, and she looked back to the painting as she spoke. "I saw your painting earlier," she said with a small smile. "It was beautiful." It was a different style than she expected, but it was gorgeous all the same.
