She couldn't really help the feeling when it came unbidden as it did; warmth set in her, familiar and inviting, and Orihime took it all within herself and grinned, beaming brightly at the other girl. "Oh, oops-- a mutual pleasure it is, then." Because it was, uncannily so, because Flora-san had acted so natural where many others had failed before her -- after all, it was an impressive feat, to keep up with Orihime's special brand of imagination.

"We'll make a deal. A promise if you would," she explained as Flora took a piece from her hand, more than a little charmed at the way her game partner inspected the silver car with an earnest sort of severity. "If you would commit to swear by ethical business practices, then I don't see why we'd be unable to work around each other. But if you do win and run me into bankruptcy, then yes, no hard feelings." Generally speaking, the first and last time she played board games with friends, they set up the boards as separate entities. Soon, the Monopoly society was struck by hail that looked suspiciously like Go pieces; Rakuten was overrun by the mice from Mouse Trap.

Needless to say, she was probably just as inexperienced in the ways of official Monopoly.

But Flora-san had asked a question. "Hmmm," she hummed in response, tapping her finger on the edge of her lip. "Well, it's a top hat. If it is for moving in style, then it's classy, to be sure...

"Eh, hmmmmmmm," Orihime continued, checking the pieces in her palm and finally settling on the dog which she then placed on the board.

... Followed by a: "Do you think the hat would fit him?"
