That time of the year was here again, everyone was graduating, and Rosie got talked into helping to make floral arrangements thanks to her mother’s business. 

Rosie let out a long sigh as she snipped another stem with her florist clippers and wrapped the three flowers in florist tape 

“Do you have anymore ribbon?” Rosie asked not looking up from her work she was missing the white ribbon to wrap them in. She was already frustrated with this project, do you know how hard it is to find a flower that symbolizes congratulations that won’t harm a fey, vampire, siren, or whatever and goes with the school colors?! much harder than you’d think. Eventually she’d managed to just convince the school to let her do Calla lilies, purple and white carnations wrapped in ribbons of the school colors. Just for simplicity sake, lilies never hurt any magical creatures to her knowledge. Throw some babies breath in there for some filler and the little bouquets looked….decent. 

“My mother would be so mad that this is the best I can do with a stupid bouquet” she muttered to herself as she pinned some more flowers in place and began wrapping them.

Sage needed something dramatic to give her mother for Wyvernhoard, and she was running out of time. She wandered around town, hoping some shop would spark her interest. She needed to one-up Basil with her gift. And maybe their father needed something, but she could passive-aggressively give him something lame. She wasn’t good with subtle, though, and she didn’t want him mad at her, just to feel slighted.

Sage noticed a flower shop and paused for a moment. Flowers were a bland classic, but maybe a shop on their magical island would have some extra flair. It was worth a shot, so she headed inside. A student was putting together some small purple bouquets behind the counter. When the worker asked for ribbon, she replied, “No I don’t. I’m a customer.” She still looked around for some ribbon and saw some laying on the other end of the counter. Since the florist had their hands full, Sage brought it over. “This?”

The dragon picked up the muttered comment and frankly agreed that it was pitiful. Where was the flair? Wyvernhoard required more…just more. Sage chose to not acknowledge the comment, however, as she wasn’t here to reinforce someone’s parental judgement.

[dragonwithnodungeon]

Rosie took the ribbon with a thanks, only momentarily thrown that it wasn’t the owner coming back for a brief moment, Rosie was doing a favor for a friend of her mothers by helping out with the floral arrangements. The school had set a strict budget with the flowers they wanted to give their graduates and....well Rosie still thought this was pathetic and knew she could do better if she were given the chance.  Rosie snipped off a length of the ribbon and then she set it aside and offered a customer service smile.

“Sorry about that, what can I help you with?” Rosie asked her leaning against the counter a bit 

“If you’re interested the tulips and sunflowers are on special right now, I think the sunflowers look great with some irises and babies breath.” Rosie offered her she wasn’t much for sales, she didn’t work much other than helping out at her mother’s shop occasionally otherwise she was very much the trust fund child

Ciara wasn’t short, but the bookshelves in the library were tall. She could see exactly the book she needed, The Physiology of Shifting, just above her reach. She turned in a circle to look for something to climb on or use to reach the book, but didn’t see any chairs or poles close enough. You were probably supposed to ask for help, but the student didn’t want to bother a library worker. With a sigh, she braced herself and leapt up with her vampire strength, easily overshooting the shelf and managing to knock down five whole books in addition to the one she needed. She flinched and activated her powers, letting the books fall right through her…and onto someone behind her.

[dragonwithnodungeon]

Rosie didn’t usually hang out at the library very often, on the contrary she usually avoided it at all costs. but considering how her dad had been harassing her about her grades lately (Big deal she got one C) she knew she needed to focus on studying to bring her grades up. However, she didn’t expect the library to be dangerous as she was assaulted by a series of books

“Hey!” she cried as she glared up at the person clinging to the shelves above her her eyes flashed to dragon like orbs showing she wasn’t happy but she took a deep breath to calm her nerves, gritting her teeth she glared up at he other again

“You should be more careful, you’re going to hurt someone doing things like that.” 

She was trying to do better about not being rude, she wanted to tell them to watch it and to quit acting like an unsupervised toddler but in her restraint to be better she managed to only bite out that little bit. Rosie then knelt down and began picking up the books that had almost given her a concussion now wanting more than ever to ditch the library and go get a chai latte

time: late night

          Percy liked the library at night when that many people weren’t around. It meant that there were less people staring at him and that was a good thing. Before coming to Katmere, he wasn’t really in the public eye, so it was strange, these last four years, having to be in public at all. Even if Katmere was technically on an island and only supernaturals were around, it was still strange to be in the eye of people that weren’t the staff at his manor and people he saw at the dojo. Whenever he could, Percy tended to stay up late and go to the usually crowded areas at the university when they weren’t so crowded. He kept his head down. Grabbing a book from the shelf that he thought he needed, Percy took a seat at one of the tables. “Law in American History, Volume III: 1930-2000. Boring.” As if he wasn’t the one that decided to study law. He could have studied Business. 

[dragonwithnodungeon]

Rosie huffed to herself as she walked into the library, she’d gotten a message from her dad about her grades again, as if she didn’t need added stress she apparently had a C in her economics class, a C! How had she gotten a C?! 

Needless to say on top of that grade being frustrating enough, having her father find out and chew her out over the phone had not improved her mood at all. Despite being a bit air headed and lax, Rosie was a good student taking her grades very seriously so that she could attempt to impress her father she just didn’t like to show that she was book smart.

Rosie grabbed a book off the shelf and stormed over to a table not paying attention to the other occupant and slamming it down on the table with an angry huff as she took her seat and rather aggressively opened the book and tried to focus on reading as she tapped her newly manicured finger nails on the table and leaned her cheek on the other hand and tried not to fume so much that she couldn’t concentrate on her book but it was already getting to her.

“I should have listened when they told me this was a bad idea.” Phineas said, leaning against the counter of the kissing booth with a sigh. It seemed like everyone saw him stationed there and steered clear. He wasn’t sure why, because he got on well with everyone. And yet, here he was, repelling everyone from the booth. It was like he had a signed taped to him telling everyone to keep away. Did he have a sign-? He looked down at his sweater. No, no sign. He sighed again, resting his face in his hand. Maybe if he looked really pathetic someone would take pity on him.

[dragonwithnodungeon]

That was a fair point, there really wasn’t a point to cocoa without Marshmallows, Rosie shrugged a little bit she only ever really got cocoa when she was home withher mom.

Rosie smiled and took his hand “Rosie Marina-Manx,” Rosie introduced herself as well 

“and i’m afraid not, more into business and agriculture.” Rosie explained to him with a shrug “Mom’s a florist, dad’s the head of a jewelry empire, so I figured didn’t have much choice.” Rosie explained though she did enjoy her classes mostly, playing around with business knowledge and how to run a shop and have a better understanding of what both her parents did.

“Do you have any idea what he just said?” Rosie asked poking the person next to her gently with their pen, she’d gotten distracted in the lecture by the lecturers necklace, even from here she could see that the gold was fake and the gemstone, while beautiful was definitely man made sapphire. Rosie herself had always thought that Sapphires went better with silver anyway and- well she was doing it again spacing out as she shook the thoughts from her head

“I’m sorry can you repeat that? or could I copy your notes after class? I’ll buy you coffee as a thank you.” 

[dragonwithnodungeon]

Rosie nodded, it was a peculiar name in her mind but then again a lot of names around here sometimes seemed rather peculiar.

“Nice to meet you too, I apologize it may take me a few times to get your name right.” She said she leaned bak in her chair a little bit and started fiddling with her ring, todays stone was a ruby that she twisted around her finger to fidget with, she wanted one of those fidget rings but they were so low quality of metal she’d never be able to face another dragon wearing something like that.

“I’m sure someone has to be paying attention or recording or something.”

Rosie took a seat and set up her laptop and set her coffee down a little ways away to avoid spilling directly on her computer 

“Thanks,” She said with a sweet smile as she started up her computer, at the question she looked up at the other

“Dragons can shift their sizes in their dragon forms, wouldn’t that be a sight to have a tea cup sized dragon playing on a computer?” Rosie asked with a slight chuckle at he mental image of her, tiny dragon form, tail wrapped around her cup and trying to type on her keys while staring at a giant tv screen. 

Usually Rosie was sensitive about her dragon forms size, she couldn’t figure out how to grow and staying tiny was not something she wanted to do forever however it did at least make her hoard look bigger.

Imogene felt a little strange, just sitting there watching the other student get situated with her laptop, so they continued to rearrange their books. They needed to anyhow, now that they didn’t have the whole table to spread out on. Some of the books weren’t strictly necessary at this moment, so they closed them. Some they stacked carefully, and a few others they slipped back into their bag. They gathered up all of the pens and highlighters that had spilled across the table, putting them back into their pencil pouch. There, that was a much better table to share with a fellow student.

“That would be a sight to see.” Imogene agreed. They’d never seen a tiny dragon before. “I didn’t know that dragons could change the size of their shift. I thought that they were like any other shifter, and whatever size you are is what you are.” It would make sense if dragons hadn’t shared that information with the vampires, historically, but even in the halls of Katmere Academy they’d never seen a dragon that wasn’t the size you’d imagine when you pictured a dragon.

[dragonwithnodungeon]

Rosie shrugged a little bit

“I guess it’s not as widely known then? I mean personally would you go around bragging that you could be the size of a walnut when your reputation is this giant fire breathing lizard drowned in gold and jewels?” Rosie asked them raising a brow it had to have been a matter of pride, Rosie was sure that she couldn’t be the only one especially since her brothers picked on her a little.

“So if you don’t mind my asking, what are you studying?” Rosie asked she noticed the other was picking up the highlighters and everything so she started helping picking up the pens and markers that she found around her figuring she had intruded the least she could do was help.

With his insistence she decided she wouldn’t cross any more boundaries and let it drop with a sigh and a nod and dropped her bag, she was still debating the hot cocoa though even with the disappointment of no latte art, so it wouldn’t be cute it would at least be tasty.

“Hmm I guess you’re right. Maybe they’ll figure out cocoa art someday.” Rosie said thoughtfully as she sat back in her chair a little and thought

“Maybe I’ll get cocoa in a little bit, Oooo and maybe marshmallows if they have them.” She said perking up a bit at the idea of marshmallows of course she was picturing cute little heart ones and wondered if that was a thing as well, this she didn’t voice though not wanting to risk another disappointment for now she could dream.

“So....what do you study?” Rosie asked after a few moments of what she perceived as awkward silence

“I’m sorry can you repeat that? or could I copy your notes after class? I’ll buy you coffee as a thank you.” 

          Everyone in this country spoke way too quickly and she was still trying to get used to the different accents. Some of these people spoke so slowly that by the time they were finished, she was bored. And then there were some that spoke with such a thick accent that she couldn’t understand what they were saying at all. Half the time she was asking people for notes herself. Today probably would be no different, when the professor was finished with class, she’d just have to go up and ask them. Alastríona furrowed her brow as he just kept talking. 

          “Mate, yer guess as good as mine. I cannot understand a lick o’ what he’s been sayin’ since the beginnin’ o’ class.” Exhaustion tinged her voice. How long would it take for her to get used to Alaska. “Was just gonna steal someone’s notes later.” 

[dragonwithnodungeon]

Rosie nodded at least they had the same comprehension and the same idea, 

“Well if you’re interested in sharing the notes the coffee is still up for grabs,” Rosie said with a smile best way to make friends was coffee chats, at least that’s what she was discovering in a college setting.

“I’m Rosie,” She introduced herself softly she figured if she was already completely lost she may as well have a nice conversation that actually interested her

[dragonwithnodungeon]

“Excuse me,” Rosie said to the other with a small smile “Do you mind if I sit here? It’s a bit crowded and unless I want to shrink in front of everyone here I’d really appreciate it?” Rosie asked them hopefully they weren’t doing much, they honestly just planned on surfing social media on her computer and sipping her latte until she got bored enough to do her homework or study, maybe chat and make a potential new friend, she was starting to learn that she wasn’t great at that around here she was maybe a little to honest in her opinions.

Rosie chose not to answer the part about her advice being wanted, she was only trying to be helpful as far as the kissing booth participation went after all. 

“No she doesn’t, mum runs a flower shop so she can get tons of them though I have dipped a few in wax to preserve them, mum does that for valentines day and stuff too sometimes. Says some sappy girls like wax roses with cheesy lines like ‘a wax rose, like our love, never dies’ which personally I think is corny.” Rosie said with a slight roll of her eyes and a smile 

“Oh come on, everyone likes cupcakes right? They’ve got this one that’s red velvet with a gooey fudge center.” Rosie said trying to tempt him because frankly if he didn’t just accept the peace offering she was going to hide one in his bag anyway.

xx

“Aaah,” Phineas said, nodding. Dipping the flowers in wax sounded like a nice way to save them. The only flowers Phineas had ever gotten was the wildflowers he and his sister would pick for their moms. He wasn’t exactly heartbroken about never having been given flowers, however. If someone was to give him flowers he’d rather a plant that he could, well, plant. Instead of something that was just going to wither and die. “It does sound a little corny, but we’ve all got things that we like that other people would probably say the same thing about.”

“I mean yeah, everyone likes cupcakes, but no one wants to kiss the guy they just saw devour a cupcake and who has crumbs all over his face. And I’m pretty sure that I won’t be able to just wait till later to eat a cupcake. And if I did manage to hold off, well, then my sister would be mad at me if I showed up for our plans and didn’t have one for her too.”

[dragonwithnodungeon]

“she can have one too,” Rosie said shrugging a little bit she wasn’t even going to bother speaking her mind about the rest of it with the cupcake that was the only real issue she saw.

“What kind of cupcake do you like?” Rosie said she was already digging into her bag for her wallet not really caring

“ooo maybe some hot chocolate too? that sounds great right about now I wonder if they can do that cute latte art in hot chocolate, you think anyone has ever tried that because a cute little heart ontop of my hot cocoa sounds wonderful” Rosie said she wondered if she tipped well if she could get them to try.
