Find Me a Blue Flower with Red Thorns! [action]

[wishmadeinfire]

[Well, Ashura was rather enjoying the fact nothing strange was happening in Paradisa (well, relatively speaking). Sadly, it was a rare enough occurrence that one learned to savor it rather than not. Not to mention he was enjoying the nice weather. He was so very glad that Winter was gone and Summer was coming in with the heat - just like home.

Which meant it was perfect weather to take out Svitana and head into town and do some shopping. Felix was in one of his adventurous moods again, which meant a lot of him planning and studying, and he needed ways to draw him out of it for a little bit. His preferred way was sweets ~ That, and he wanted to see what flowers were in to bring up to the room and decorate. He enjoyed having the fragrance of fresh blossoms around their chambers - it added a little something, as did the smell of chocolate.

So if you were in town today, you might see Ashura perusing the shops - though he's spending the most time in the flower shops. And if you don't see Ashura, you will assuredly see Svitana (the giant, red scaled dragon horse he rides), calming standing outside the flower shops, saddle bags across his back bursting with bright blossoms of pinks, whites, purples, yellows, and blues that seem a tad comical on the carnivorous and dangerous looking beast. ]

[ooc: approach Ashura around the town (anywhere and everywhere) or approach Svitana (which then invariably draws Ashura, lol). Also, bonus if you get where the post title is coming from 8"D]

[Vivian hadn't been in the town since her accident and now she was feeling up to it, wanting to take a look around and see if anything caught her eye.On her travels, she did notice Svitana, remembering the creature from the time she rode out of the castle grounds with Ashura.

She approaches Svitana carefully, hoping that he would remember her as well.]


((ooc: I believe it's from Shrek, yes?))

You win!

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[Svitana's nostrils flare and he turns to her, grunting as he recognizes the scent of the woman with the horse. As it is, he does not attack or anything, just watches, attention turning away when Ashura comes out of the shop with more flowers for the saddle packs.]}

Vivian!

/dances

[formersocialite]

[She smiles, reaching up to pat Svitana gently on his side and speaks to him quietly for a moment before she notices Ashura exiting the shop. Vivian raises her hand in greeting.]

Hello, Ashura.

xD

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[He comes over and puts the new batch into the saddle bags, Svitana snorting in a way that suggests he might be rolling his eyes if he could.

Ashura turned and smiled at Vivian, holding out his hand to her in greeting.]</sub>

It has been to long, Vivian. How have you been?

[formersocialite]

Too damn long, yeah. [She agreed, feeling bad that she hadn't kept in proper contact with him.]

I'm really good, thanks. Things are going well. How about yourself?

[wishmadeinfire]

Very well. I have managed to come through the last few... experiences with the Castle relatively unscathed. A small blessing, that.

What brings you to town?

[formersocialite]

That's good. I'm glad to hear you've been doing well despite the things the castle has thrown at us lately.

Just taking a look around. It's been sometime since I've come here.

[wishmadeinfire]

I always like the town in spring and summer. It seems more alive.

[formersocialite]

Yeah, I agree. It's quite lovely at the moment. Those flowers you have are absolutely beautiful by the way.

[wishmadeinfire]

Oh, thank you. I try and decorate the suite with them during the spring and summer for some more life and some nice scents.

You should try it in your room. Trust me, they do so much for them.

[formersocialite]

I think I will try that, yes. Just need to find the perfect flowers for it and then I will be all set.

What else are you planning to get if anything?

[wishmadeinfire]

I was going to run by the sweet shop and also see if I couldn't find a butcher for something for Svitana.

_{[He rubbed the dragon horse's nose gently, the beast grunting in pleasure.]}

[formersocialite]

Mind if I come along with you to the sweet shop?

it's been so long since i've watched shrek...

[hyuuga]

[Hinata spends most of her day in town now. As it's away from the castle and close to her new living arrangements. And shopping... Well, it's something she could easily do to repay her friend's kindness.

It's becoming something of a habit for her to stop by the flower shops and pick up some flowers of her own every now and then. Both for planting and for pressing.

Yet...]

Svitana...

[She cautiously approaches the dragon horse, as she does remember the time she spent out near the Dead Zone with said steed and Ashura.]

Hehehe, tis a good movie

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[Svitana snorts, remembering this girl, and after a moment he lower's his head to her, remembering his rider had never ordered him to attack, and she was friend. He was not a smart beast, but neither was he stupid.

Ashura came out of the shop, another bundle in his arms and when he saw Hinata he brightened.]</sub>

HInata.

that it is... it deserves a rewatch here soon

[hyuuga]

[She smiles and bows her head back at Svitana.

Then she starts and turns around, her earlier purchases clutched to her chest. Sneaking up on people isn't nice, Ashura.]

Oh, Ashura-ou! Sorry, I... I wasn't entirely expecting--um, nevermind. Were you also buying flowers..?

yes :3

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes, quite a few. I enjoy decorating the chamber during the spring and summer when the flowers are nicest.

[hyuuga]

And it is spring now, isn't it? [said mostly to herself, as she does still find herself forgetting that it's already that time in Paradisa again.]

I'm sure your chamber is just lovely. Fresh flowers have a way of making everything seem just that much better.

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes, they do, don't they? I think Felix thinks I put to many out, but when our chamber smells nice all day long he will thank me.

_{[He chuckles a bit, setting his new load in the saddle packs.]}

[hyuuga]

[She giggles as well. It's something she could easily see.]

I-I think so, too.. So long as you don't cover every bare part of your chamber with them, that is.

[wishmadeinfire]

Oh, no, I do not turn it into a forest! I am actually going to try and sneak some into his work room in the tower, as a surprise.

[hyuuga]

That should be a welcome addition, then. Work spaces can be so...dreary at times.

[wishmadeinfire]

Especially Felix's, I am afraid. He can get... absorbed in it.

[hyuuga]

[She laughs a little. Sounds like what she knows of Felix.]

Somehow, I-I am not too surprised by that. It's good that he has you to think of him and...his well-being.

[wishmadeinfire]

I am glad to be there for him.

Have you had much time to explore recently, Hinata?
