Who Brought The Shells
Intro:
It was early morning, when Hops was walking on the street with sack of something heavy. Some hours earlier she was noticed on the beach in company of punky succubuns and a bottle of cold gin.
- No, i took almost nothing of it. You know i'm a sober person, who has to work in Rabbit Hole to pay the debt.
And here she made a short pause
- All these guys are completely normal. We were dancing and singing... almost like chidren. And we were piching someting up from the sand.
Shibani got up very early - it was even a bit less then midday. He took a couple of Dan's dango and went out of the hole - he woke up with serious intention to go on a long walk. And he did it - not less then twenty steps without any pause. Suddenly he noticed a pile of beautiful seashells - probably somebody decided not to bring them home after a day on the beach.
- These two ones seams to be very lovely. What if Harley would wear them instead of the hearts? Who knows, maybe she'll exchange them on new shibari ropes? I bet she has some in the stock if even they are not present on strand -
And here Shibani's cheeks became even more blush then always.
Probably he would go to Harley's shop. But here he noticed a truly nice rounded spiral shell of tender nacre color
- it's so neat and so close to delicate mochi by the look! I'll preserve it as inspo for Dan. I so wish he can play with me today -
Here he wrapped the seashell into large leaf and moved toward Dan's hole. He was so proud of himself - so early start of the day and so long walk on freash urban air.
- it seams that i'm getting tired. It's natural tho. Let me visit my beloved pillow again.
It was Dan, who picked up sleepy Shibani near a pile of seashells and carried him to their hole.
- Poor little guy. He was working so hard today. But i wonder, what he is going to do with such amount of seashells?
Here Shibani opened one eye and put in Dan's hand something wrapped in the leaf.
- Here is for you. I found it for you.
First Dan understood nothing. But he took this unexpected gift and placed Shibani on his the most beloved pillow. After that he came back to his dango and mochi.
Meantime Holland was on the way to Dan's Dango - his mistress desired to taste not just some dango or mochi. Not at all. She desired very special ones.
- First i'll manage with this set of mochi. And after that i'll get rid of this useless pile of seashells. Obliviously it's not Shibani's work - all he is able to do is to lay here on a pile of blankets and pillows.
And here Dan felt as something warm was comming up to his chest.
- But he is so cute and gentle with the customers. And his presense flatters me.
Here Dan remembered about half-dried leaf with something. He put his hammer aside and unwrapped it with interest - a lovely spiral seashell appeared on his palm. It looked so sweet that Dan dropped some tears in smashed rice.
- Oh, it's so like him...
Probably Dan would say something else. But suddenly he noticed slightly confused Holland, who wanted to buy a very special dessert for his dear Harley.
- What would you like to choose? We have dango of variois taste and color - strawberry, raspberry, black sezame, blueberry, peach, watermelon, cocoa, mitarashi, matcha, bean paste - all freashly made with love and care.
- Don't you have something else - here Holland confused even more
- Pardon me my forgiviness, we have seasonal salty mochi. Very recommend to try it.
- I meant...
And here Dan got a wonderful idea
- Please take a sit and wait a bit. You will get something very special and unforgivable.
About a quarter of hour passed and Dan brought a plate with set if mochi in shape of delicate seashells.
- Yes, these are exactly she would like - and Holland hurried to Harley's shop. First he did not notice a pile of seashells close to Dan's door. But something made him stop and look on them.
- These two ones are so beautiful as she! And they will be amazing on the place of her hearts.
The story did not tells what Harley said about seashell-shaped mochi and a couple of the shells. But it's well-known that Holland came back with large sack and took almost all the seashells with him.
As for the rest ones, some were taken by Dove to be used as cookie cutters. And they say that these cookies were so sweet and nice that even Jackal could drop a tear.
Epilogue: the day came to its final. But Hops was still searching for some sack she managed to leave somewhere.
- I wish to remember that was in thay sack. Can you help me to find it? Please.
