Flowers Blossoming

Before the guard could answer, the main door had opened. Angel walked out, at the first glance looking welcoming and happy to see the Chrysanthemum. However, it was all completely pretended - the gestures and expressions practiced to perfection, and the only a very discerning observer could notice the fatigue and aversion in the Rose's eyes.

The area around Garden had recently been suffering from horrible heat waves and almost everyone felt the effects - from a few worker deaths to higher electricity bills from air conditioning - and contributed to Angel's bad mood. Despite that, she managed to maintain her composure - it was all for the greater good after all. Even judging by her outfit, it was obvious she was "the princess of the castle", with her white hair and matching airy dress. The only thing contrasting was a gun holster hung over her right shoulder, with the grip of the .45 Nighthawk menacingly sticking out.

"Jun!" she greeted the Chrysanthemum, then turned towards the guard. "It's okay, Dolfo, she was expected. I'm sure the reason for you being a bit late is well-founded. Anyway. Please, come on in."

After both women entered the house and came into the foyer, Angel summoned one of the maids. "Can you please find Rise and call her to us? Also, please fetch us something cold to drink, thank you." She turned back to Jun. "Shall we go to the terrace?"
