Spring Flowers Need a Little Help [ action ]
[ The saying was that 'April showers bring May flowers', but for Ashura that was taking a bit to long. So, he thought he might help it along a little. And he had promised Galadriel that he would show her flowers from his world, plants. Well, why not get a start on it before his promise entirely slipped his mind? And better to get a jump on decorating the rooms before Felix could rightly protest.
So, dressed in a robe of green, gold, and pink, the patterns that of swirling blossoms and growing trees, Ashura made his way through the lobby of the Castle with a large basket balanced on his hip, bright flowers poking their heads out over the rim and leaving not a few petals behind in his wake - a trail of petals rather than gingerbread crumbs. A portion would go into his chambers, and another portion would go out into the gardens. Certainly it was kept up by some unseen force, but it was nice, taking a small plot for himself to nurture, a left over from his mother, a way to honor her.
After stopping in his rooms to deposit the flowers he planned to arrange there, he gathered the basket and headed outside to the gardens, finding a clear space to claim. He settled, wishing up the tools of a gardener, arranging the earth with bright flowers the glittered like flame - white, yellow, orange, red, humming to himself as he went about his work, enjoying the chance to not freeze and spend time in sunshine that warmed instead of giving brittle effort. ]

Oh hey, Ashura-san. What's up?
no subject
Oh, gardening. I like to freshen up our rooms when the Spring rolls around.

Need to drop off some of them here and then we can go out to the garden.

[ He smiled at her as he took out several bundles of the flowers, setting them on a windowsill and also a nearby table. ]
no subject
Hey there!
no subject
They like you!
[ He beamed as he finished setting out the last of the flowers from the room and picked up his basket again. ]
They can come with us, if you like. They could use the fresh air.
no subject
Busy, are you?
no subject
Is it so obvious?
[ He shifted the basket on his narrow hip. ]
no subject
Just barely. [He grins and finds a place to sit nearby and watch. Maybe even help, if he asks for it. Legolas never was opposed to getting a bit dirty.]
no subject
I need to work on my subtly then.
[He laughed and sat back, reaching for another flower and glancing back at Legolas. ]
Do you enjoy watching people toil or are you like a puppy and wish to come dig in the soil?
[ His mouth was spread in a smile, humor evident in the sparkle of his eyes. ]
no subject
I thought not to intrude more than I already had~
no subject
[ He patted the space beside him and then held out a flower to him, a bright golden one speckled with red and white. ]
no subject
It's beautiful. I've never seen a plant like this.
no subject
[ He smiled at him, picking up another deep red one, tracing a petal with his fingers. ]
I wish I could bring fire-flowers, but they are only on trees. So these shall do.
no subject
[In which case, Legolas might be willing to wish for it for him. Someone had to be in proper shape to plant and care of it.]
no subject
[ He paused in his planting. ]
But I do miss them, the fire flowers. They bloomed at night, and the edges, in the moonlight? They glow, like tiny campfires up in the trees.
no subject
I hope that it's possible. It would be a beautiful addition.
no subject
[ He continued with is planting. ]
Legend, in my world, says the fire flowers are the tears of a phoenix that once protected my people from a wolf that prowled the skies.
no subject
Phoenix? I've never heard that word before.
