The Koneko wasn't open for business, per se, but the door was unlocked and open in case anyone needed anything. If anyone looked hard enough, they'd see a trail of dirt and tiiiny puddles leady back to the back room, and through a door in said room. Through the door was the Koneko's greenhouse, and working on a tray of seedlings was one Ken Hidaka, humming softly as he gently brushed soil from the roots of a seedling he was busy replanting.

Ken heard someone moving through the shop and moved away from the worktable, brushing dirt from his hands as he padded back into the shop proper. He offered the newcomer a smile, murmuring a hello.

"Welcome to the Koneko. What can I help you with today?"

Ferio turned as he heard the approaching steps. He was slightly surprised at seeing Ken here, and gave a friendly smile at the blanket welcome.

"I hadn't expected to see you run a flower shop."

Ken's normal enthusiasm had waned a little since his death, but the smile on his face inched up a little before he chuckled and shrugged, rubbing absently at one cheek.

"Why's that?"

Not having known Ken for more than a few days, Ferio could not tell that he had changed somehow. But he still recognized a fighter when he saw one, and was rather glad that they were on friendly terms.

"You seem a little tough for a florist."

The chuckle changed to an outright laugh as Ken nodded and moved to lean against a counter.

"Seems like you know about tough if you can recognize it so easy. I really am a florist but that's not the only thing I do. I also work for the police here and back home, I'm part of a special until that... takes care of cases the police can't or won't."

Really, how else could he explain Weiss or KyrptonBrand? He wasn't too keen on coming right out and telling him he was an assassin. Not even if he was close friends with Umi and Fuu. Maybe in time, but not quite yet.

"I see..." The prince tilted his head back in thought, Fuu had explained a few things about her world to him before, so at least he knew what the police even was.

"That would definitely explain it." His thoughtful look was replaced with s friendly smile again. "Thanks again for the other day. Even if it didn't work."

"I wished I could've done more. At least you were cuffed to someone you like, right?"

He remembered Fuu hadn't been too upset then either, other than the simple fact that they'd been broadcast over the network. Ken was happy he seemed to be as fond of her as she was of him. He liked it when his friends were happy.

"The curse couldn't have picked a better person to tie me to."

He smiled. Even though he usually liked to move about a lot, spending time with Fuu was not something he would ever considered unpleasant.

"So I suppose this is where the fresh flowers in our apartment come from, huh."

"Sounds like you two are really close. I'm glad for both of you. She's a sweet girl."

He smiled and glanced around, nodding a little.

"Yep. I kinda keep them stocked up. Umi does a lot of work around here and I'm always happy to do things for her and Fuu."

The prince smiled in return. It was true, they were close. More than that, even, but there wasn't a word for it that he could think of.

"She works here? I didn't know."

He was glad to hear that Ken had been looking after the two knights, in a sense. Not because they needed looking after, but because it was good to have somebody there.

"She's part time, but it seems like she's always around, not to mention all the times she's helped me outside of work. I've... kinda adopted her as a little sister."

His smile grew fond and soft, but it faltered a moment later, thinking about what he needed to talk about with the Water Knight.
