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!

_{[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!

[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?

[wishmadeinfire]

No, of course not. I would enjoy the company, actually.

_{[He took Svitana's reigns and clucked, bringing the beast up behind them.]}

[formersocialite]

Wonderful. I'm glad that I ran into you both.

[She smiles warmly, beginning to lead the way.]

[wishmadeinfire]

And I am glad to see you. The doctor had told me you had hurt yourself awhile back. I am sorry I did not come to pay call, but so many things happened right after.

[formersocialite]

Oh yeah, when I fell off the horse and hurt my ankle. I'm fully healed now, so you don't have to worry about me. And hey, don't worry about not being able to check in on me then, it's fine.

[wishmadeinfire]

I feel awful, just the same. When you are up to it, we must go riding again. I enjoyed our last jaunt very much.

[formersocialite]

Yes, I'd like that very much. I should be all right quite soon so whenever you're free.

[wishmadeinfire]

Anytime, though Felix wants to go out to the Outpost soon, so I might not be available for a small time.

[formersocialite]

That's fine. There's plenty of time for us to do it so don't worry about it, Ashura.

[wishmadeinfire]

Ah, forgiveness. People just come and go so quickly sometimes...

[formersocialite]

I know they do. But I try not to think about people leaving here so much.

[wishmadeinfire]

Neither do I. Though, that sometimes makes it harder when they do. You tend to think it will never happen at all.

_{[He shook his head and Svitana snorted, tugging the lead and Ashura clucked, jerking him back gently.]}

How did you fare through the world changes?

[formersocialite]

I was fine during the world change. It was interesting to see those Pokemon; although I didn't get a chance to see a lot of them.

One of them was in my room-a Ponyta. It had fire for a mane and a tail. Scorched my furniture and singed my hair a little.
