~The Cafe Tarot.~

Altria narrows her eyes at Loki."Yes,what's with the smirk.Do answer carefully."

Completly oblivious as always Loki grins."I was just thinking how you two seem to be on a date.Rai agrees too.Are you?If I'm being inconsiderate and interrupting I'll leave so you two can be alone."

Shiro blushes bright scarlet and sweatdrops. >.> (in thought) ' oh kami... not him too.'

Altria goes scarlet,tilting her head forward so her bangs hide her face.'Why does everyone insist picking on us today?I want to hit something...preferably stupid blondie boy.'

Their reaction of going scarlet immediately affirms his suspicion.Keh he he,I thought so. Good thing intending to take pictures of the formulas I brought a camera.Now for a bit of fun. Are you certain that is wise? Raijin asks laughing. No worries.It's not like I intend to keep it.Smirking he takes some steps back until they are both in view together.Out of the pocket of his hoodie,chosen primarily for its deep pockets,Loki pulls out a compact silver camera."Hee,a memento of your date.Smile!" He presses the button,there's a small flash.

Shiro sonidos and covers the camera lens with his hand before it can snap the picture of him and Altria. He smirks at Loki giving him the death look, "What... was that?" He stares at loki evilly. "If I were you... I'd put the camera away... please."

Loki smiles innocently."Why?Don't you want a picture to remember this day by? A physical memory?And dude,I wouldn't use flash step in public.People can see you now,something like that catches attention." (Note:Loki mistook sonido for flash step,they look alike to him.)

Altria seems to consider something before nodding to herself.Coming up to Loki she pulls the camera out of his hands."You know,I actually wouldn't mind to have a picture of today.But..not done by you." She gives the camera to Shin,"Could you please take it,Shin?" Moving back to stand near Shiro she smiles at him."You don't mind,do you Shiro-kun?To be in a picture with me?"

"Huh?"

wondering what would be the difference if it would be him taking the picture, shin takes the camera. holding it, he turns to loki to ask for permission before taking a shot of altria and shiro

"Is it okay?"

Shiro stops to think it over. "..... sigh oh alright." (he's kinda camera shy) he goes over by Altria then glances over at shin. "anytime."

"Yeah,sure.Go ahead." Loki shrugs,stepping back so he's not blocking them.

"Thanks Shiro-kun." Smiling Altria moves a little closer to Shiro,linking one arm with his.'A physical memory..proof today happened.'

"Nice. Smile.."

shin takes a picture of altria and shiro.

"Take two?"

She considers something,getting an idea."Hmm,I have a better idea.Why don't we take a group one?All of us gathered here..as humans..is rare,right?"

Loki perks up at her words."Hey,yeah!Let's do it in front of those bookcases over there.I'll go get one of the personnel,they could take it.You guys gather there,this will only take a sec." Bustling with enthusiasm he disappears into the crowd,making way towards Marius.

Shiro stares at Altria like she's crazy, "a..... another one???" *note shiro is really camera shy*

Altria beams at Shiro happily."Yes!Of all of us together.Something to remember this peaceful day." She pulls Shiro towards the bookcase Loki indicated,taking hold of Uriko on the way and pulling her as well."Come Shin." She seems unusually happy about taking the pictures.

Shiro looks like he wants to hang himself, but doesn't say anything. (in thought) 'Ahhhhhhhhh! whhhyy me? camera's are evil!'

Reaching the bookcase she lets go of Uriko but still keeps one arm locked with Shiro's.Looking up at his face her smile fades a little at the tortured expression written across it."Shiro??You..really don't like taking pictures,do you?It's alright, you don't have to.I'm not going to force you or anything..sorry.." Forcing on a cheery smile and unlocking her arm from his she takes a few steps away,putting a little distance between them.Turning around so no one notices her mood changing she pretends to read the titles written on the spines of the numerous books situated on the shelves of the bookcase,running a hand along them in a gentle caress.'How selfish of me..should have noticed from the start he hated it..but..I would have liked physical proof of being with everyone here today...after all,memories are very unreliable things..easily lost..I know that firsthand..pictures stay..Shin,Uriko and even Loki are here today..all my nakama..so it's ok but..it won't be same..he's a part of it too..the whole picture..puzzle..'

Shiro blushes then turns to Altria, and whispers. 'hey..... I'm ok with it. I'm ok with taking the picture.' he smirks, 'but, if this were anyone else asking me to do this It wouldn't happen. I can handle it.' he twirls a lock of her hair playfully again. 'come on... let's just get it over with.' he smiles shyly.

shin takes into position.

"Good. everyone's good."

shin tries to put on a funny wacky smile for the photo.

Smiling happy again she turns around and hugs Shiro."Thank you." Letting go she tries to find Loki in the crowd."He went to get someone to take it..so what's taking him so long.."

Shiro snickers at Altria, "Heh heh, you worry to much. slow down take it easy!" He smiles cheerfully.

Having found Marius and persuaded him to take the picture Loki makes his way back with Marius in tow."Alrighty,peeps,I'm baack.Let's have us a nice photo.Shin-san if you would give him the camera please?"

"I do not!" Reaching up she ruffles Shiro's hair.Seeing Loki finally come back with Marius she shakes her head,"Finally,took you long enough." She locks one arm with Shiro's again,smiling.
