New Rose (Closed) [S.S. Guns 'n' Roses]

It was a sunny saturday afternoon. A certain Heir, Brenin Golau the Tenth, was walking through a large park in the middle of Vale, Axle Park, it was called. As he walked, he flirted with multiple girls that passed his way

"Hey, sweetie, what's your name?" "Sleaze..." "Aw c'mon, I was just askin'!"

"Wow, you're a cute one." "I-I have a boyfriend..." "My loss then. He must be a good guy."

"Hey the-" "Lesbian" "Aw come on, I wasn't even flirting that time!"

Brenin sat down on a bench with a sad smirk "Dames these days... Two years ago I had fangirls just for bein' rich and they ignored the fact I could hit a birde by firin' at a sign. Now they're just ignorin' me in general..."

Lapis had finally decided to head out and try to enjoy herself rather than staying cooped up at home for once. Her ears twtiched a bit as she had her cloak wrapped around her frame to warm herself, a soft hum escaping her closed lips as she walked along the park path.

She seemed to be in her own little world at the moment. The doe merely continued to bop and bounce to her own little beat, smiling to herself a bit.

Brenin looked at Lapis as she passed by "Might as well try one last time... She is really cute.... But she" "Hey..." he said simply to the passing doe...

She paused her humming before gazing at the male and giving him a warm grin. "Uh hi!" She uttered the words in a rather shy tone.

Brenin smiled as charmingly as he could at Lapis "What's your name, cutie? If you're not in a hurry anywhere, I am gettin' kinda lonely..."

"O-Oh well I wouldn't want that!!" Lapis waddled over and sat beside him, ears twitching as she gently loosened her grip on her cloak so it fell into a more relaxed position around her. "My name is Lapis....You are?" She gazed at him with teal eyes.

"Brenin. Brenin Golau the Tenth. Ever heard of me? Little hint, you should have." he said with a charming smirk...

"Oh I do!!! Oh wow someone of your status is talking to someone as low and talentless as me I'm really honored." Her eyes gazed up at him with a sparkle, rubbing her ears a bit out of anxiety. "I mean there are plenty of more....important people."

Brenin shrugged "I'm less interested in "Importance" in my acquaintances and more in their personalities and attractiveness. You could be the richest man in Remnant and still be a baby-munchin' hunchback." he said jokingly...

The doe nodded slowly, giving an understanding smile. "W-Well I guess! But I mean I dont really have an outstanding personality or anything. I'm just normal. Average. Okay."

Brenin smirked "Well personality wise, as far as we know, you're my ideal girl, appearance wise you're pretty cute, and... Well, I have to admit, I do have a thing for Deer Faunus, so you got that goin' for you, Antlers." he said half-jokingly

Her face became red hot and her ears pulled back in shy embarassment as she gazed at the male. Had he just called her ideal? To Lapis, it was a ridiculous notion that someone would remotely find her cute or ideal to say the least. "Not really!! I mean I'm just average. Everything about me is average o-or less than average."

"Average, huh?... Y'know everyone has their own special... Place n life, I guess... And that includes you. My guess is that your talents are cuteness and some form of artistic medium... You draw much? Ever directed an independent film? Ever acted in one? You look like you'd make a good actor."

"I've never really tried Art! I figured I'd be pretty bad at it so I guess I never really tried." The doe gave a shrug as she gazed up at the sky. "The only thing I'm really good at is working with Rus. We're a team and I could never do a job without him. He's my sniper rifle."

Brenin nodded idly as he listened to Lapis speak ""Rus" huh?... So... You go to Beacon?... I wouldn't expect a timid little cutie like you to be there, so you must be pretty damn good at fighting... That's something about you that ain't average..."

"M-me? A good fighter? No!! No. I freeze up a lot at close range I can't do much with an enemy next to me. They have to be kinda far..." She said awkwardly as she gently curled her fingers. "I'm useless when they're close."

Alot of people used to long-range usually are. You just need someone to keep the enemies far away..."

"I don't exactly have a team yet. I've beeen too shy to really talk to people anyway." The doe whispered quietly as she gazed up. "They're all so..... They look like they belong there. I don't exactly look like I do."

Brenin smirked "Oh, so you're one of those pre-initiation newbies, huh? Don't worry, you'll find someone whenn the time comes... Since we're on the topic, I'm third year, just so ya know...

"That seems so far away from now!!" She gazed at him.

Brenin shrugged "Hey, just focus on what ya gotta do and it'll go by quicker. Focusing on the end makes the middle alot less enjoyably, y'know..."

"I wanna become strong and not let my team down!!!" She gave a shy grin. "I won't be much help as I am now."

Brenin smirked happily at Lapis' words "That's so adorably cliched that it rolls back around to being noble... As a comeback, I'll say that you just gotta believe in yourself before you actually get stuff done, 'cause if you don't think you can do it, then you can't do it, y'know? Psychology and all that.... 'S good....."

"Do you like your team? Are they good people?" She asked curiously as she gazed up at the male, ears giving a gentle flop as she shook her head.
