░ 🎀 ░ ( Oh, where to begin? ) Gina finally got hold of a certain someone’s number, but she didn’t know how to word out what she needed to say! Would it be too weird to blurt out a chunk of text even before the respondent sends out a reply, or would it be too confusing to just say hi? Ahhh, this was so hard!
❝ Maybe this will work... ❞ In order for her to not take too much time over a single text, Gina starts typing what was on her mind and doesn’t think twice before sending.
— [ To Mrs. Kyle 💛 ] Hi, is this Miss Lillie Springfield’s number? — [ To Mrs. Kyle 💛 ] My name’s Gina and I got your number from Sir Kyle! — [ To Mrs. Kyle 💛 ] I have a gift from him you see... but I need to meet you first. — [ To Mrs. Kyle 💛 ] I was wondering when you’ll be free so we can meet up? — [ To Mrs. Kyle 💛 ] Anywhere in Leuda would be fine.
After inputting and sending a series of messages at once, Gina hides her face in her hands and regrets it immediately! ( What if she never responds? Sir Kyle will be so disappointed... )

Kyle was suspicious of Gina’s words even if she apologized and took back what she said. What did she mean by that giggle of hers?! He wanted to call her out on it, but decided against that in favor of finalizing this little transaction of theirs. For now, he’ll just give her the benefit of the doubt.
“Um, alright. Thanks for this, I’ll try to set things up as soon as possible.” He took her contact number and gave what she said some thought. Inputs about Lillie, huh? He never really gave it much thought, but here goes: “Well uh, alright. Let’s see… for starters she’s a very sunny person. Her smile’s her main asset. I think. She gets flustered easily but it’s part of her charm.”
“I think she’s really cute, but maybe the designs could be something less cute and more… elegant?” He recalls the dance from the last event, remembering how she looked beautiful in the formal dress. Even if it wasn’t like her usual get-up, it really suited her and made her look less like a cutesy girl, and more like a beautiful young woman.
Thinking about that made heat rise up to his face all the way to his ears. Realizing this, cleared his throat and tried to get a grip, “Y-yeah, definitely something along those lines. Did that help?”
░ 🎀 ░ Gina was absolutely thrilled at the fact her customer didn’t question her and started talking about the girl he’s so fond of. It was like watching a romantic movie-- but this time, it felt much closer and more personal. Real words of affection from a real person to another. It was so sweet, Gina could feel her heart and soul getting filled up with happiness at the mere sight of a happy and very much in-love man. Wherever their feelings for each other takes them, Gina wishes them happiness and success. She can’t wait to start on the design!
❝ That was perfect, Sir Kyle... I can vision her clearly from your eyes. She seems lovely. ❞ The way he flustered up doesn’t escape her eyes, too. It made her more determined to add a personal element to her designs-- something that will remind the wearer of the man that gave them to her. ❝ Maybe a mix of yellow and red would work. The two colors will clash beautifully. ❞ ( And it’s your color, too. He he. )

░ 🎀 ░ Gina finds herself visiting one of the famous cafes in the island-- KitTea! How can it not be renowned if it both has sweets and cats! A perfect combination, if you ask Gina. ❝ Aren’t you just the sweetest little kitty! How come no one’s adopted you yet, Rosie! ❞ At the moment, Gina was too busy with her one-sided love affair, with her showing affection and fondness and with one of the cats in the cafe snubbing her. Oh, cats. They’re just shy, she thinks.
After Rosie walked away from the overly excited Gina, another customer enters the cafe. Instinctively, Gina turns towards the front door as the bell chimes and announces her entry. Gina’s face lit up immediately at the sight of her dear friend, still so pink and cute!
❝ Katie! Glad you could make it! ❞ Gina waved her hand at her friend, hoping she could spot her even if she was sitting on the ground.

With a broom in hand, Clorica swept the floor of the room she was in. However, something was different about her compared the other workers of the villa — she was asleep. It was a gift since birth that came with her condition; she was able to work on various tasks while sleeping. How? She wasn’t exactly sure herself, but it allowed her to keep her jobs.
For a moment, she rested against the wall. Sometimes, even in her sleep, she needed a break from all the work she was doing or the duration of her naps would increase. She could - and would - sleep for days in a row if left alone.
But the fresh aroma of baked goods and the whisper of her name forced her to slowly open her eyes.
“Miss Gina.”
Clorica yawned and rubbed one of her eyes with a fist.
“I would love some, thank you. They smell delicious.”
░ 🎀 ░ ❝ They do, don’t they? I’m so glad there were extras from the batch... I can’t wait to dig into them! ❞ Upon realizing she’s too noisy, Gina shuts herself up and cautiously looked around even if they were along in the room. She can never be too careful even if she’s worked here for more than half of her life. If it wasn’t for the delicious scent of the chocolate chip cookies in her hands, she would have been stuck in a series of anxious thoughts. Turning back to Clorica, she made sure of one more thing:
❝ I’m not interrupting you in the middle of anything, am I? Grandma would blame me if I did... ❞ Even if it technically was, Gina simply doesn’t like being repeatedly scolded by her kind but strict Grandma. They were allowed breaks, but abandoning an assignment for cookies was still a no-no. ❝ Oh, I know! Maybe we can just eat here, he he. ❞
Reading Rainbow || Open
thelastunivir:
Oftentimes, after he was finished with his shift at the library, Ondorus would remain, reading several books he had discovered during re-shelving. Currently, he was reading at one of the many tables in the center of the library, the rest of the books stacked up neatly beside him.
However, his peace this session didn’t last too long.
Probably because someone just dropped a book on his head.
Ah.
Wordlessly, Ondorus looked up to the perpetrator. Not saying anything. Just looking at them with a blank expression.
░ 🎀 ░ In her attempt to relate more to her dear Miss Dia, Gina finds herself in the library in hopes of finding reading material Dia hasn’t read yet. Magic is such a tricky subject, and Gina admits in being absolutely horrible at it. However, if she survived med-school, a few books tackling magic shouldn’t be that hard! Maybe...
Due to her barely knowing anything, Gina gathered up one too many books when she browsed through the library. Too much for a petite girl. In her arms were piles of books that she struggled to carry back to a vacant table. It was towering over her and were a few inches taller than her, and as the weight bests her, Gina drops the book at the peak of her silly tower and falls on a person.
❝ I’m so sorry!! Oh no, are you alright sir-- oh heavens, of course you’re not. Please let me help I — ❞ In her state of panic, Gina was moving around too much despite still carrying her books. Another one falls off and in that moment, Gina can feel her soul melt to the ground over this embarrassing accident.

Kyle obediently remained quiet when Gina started tending to his injuries. She worked in silence so he figured he should just shut up, too. He felt kind of bad worrying her like that, but he was just being honest. So as she wraps up his arm, he breaks the silence and speaks up.
“Hey, uh, Gina?” He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable, but he wanted to reassure her somehow that he wasn’t completely hopeless and irresponsible. She seemed pretty worried earlier. “You got any first aid tips for me? I probably won’t tone down on the injuries, but it’d help to know what to do with them. I know a bit of healing magic but those usually exhaust me. I prefer more natural methods.”
░ 🎀 ░ ❝ Yes, Sir Kyle ? ❞ Gina looks up as she’s tending to his arm, suddenly self-conscious now. Why do men have to be men and make her tense up? ( Be professional, Gina... ) She listens attentively when he starts explaining the reasoning behind his inquiry. Something told her he was just doing this to make up for earlier. Regardless if that was true, Gina was more than willing to share what she knew.
❝ It’s good that you’re self-conscious, at least ...For starters, if you were bitten... ❞ She takes his arm and positions it in a way his arm would be elevated. ❝You should keep your bitten arm elevated like this after stopping the bleeding. If you always keep a clean handkerchief ready, you can use that to cover the bitten area. ❞
Gina lets go of his arm and continues to finish wrapping his arm. She was taking longer than usual because of this chit-chat... she hoped Dr. Ford won’t be too mad. ❝ And even if it was only scratched or it’s barely bleeding, you should wash it as soon as you can. Proper treatment can follow, like the one you’re having now. ❞ Just as she she says that, she finishes her task and her patient now has a properly bandaged arm. Hopefully he’ll be more careful next time. ❝ That will do for now... Please clean it every day with antibiotic ointment if you have any. ❞
Kana Kana was loving his freedom in this role card game. Who'd have thought fate would smile his way and let him do what he wants? Sure, for some people it might have ruined the point of 'acting', but Kana just wanted to have a good time anyway, with or without the worry of trying to act a part. ...

flower festival
icequeendia:
While Dia was at City Hall purchasing the flowers for Felicity, she realized she could use this as a chance to send her gratitude to her other peers. To each one, she sends out a bouquet she picked herself, with a note she signed.
And lastly, for @healingstitches, a bouquet of pink and white roses delivered at Alpha Medical Center for Nurse Georgina Darlington. It wouldn’t have been a surprise if she gave it at home, so Dia had it send at her other workplace.
It takes a long time to grow roses, yet it takes even longer to grow close bonds. I’m lucky to have grown such a strong one with you. Happy Flower Festival, Gina.
░ 🎀 ░ It was a normal day at work for Gina back at Alpha Medical Center. She had just finished treating a patient when her attention was called for a delivery. That was strange considering she was not expecting any at all. The confusion she felt was cleared when she read the note that came with bouquet of roses given to her, and was replaced instead with love and embarrassment, immediately coloring her cheeks a bright red.
❝ Miss Dia ...❞ She didn’t even give her anything this year! How terrible of her! She wanted to cry and run to the nearest store, but that would mean leaving work and being irresponsible...
She settles instead with putting the flowers in a vase for now and continuing work. One she comes back to the villa, she’d make sure to thank Miss Dia properly. ( Maybe I can ask grandma to teach me how to make blueberry tarts... )
𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 ;
icequeendia:
“Send my regards to Martha. She always makes the tastiest desserts.” And with that, Dia retreated to her room and started flipping through the materials she’s read in the last few days. Compiling them neatly in her coffee table, she waited patiently for Gina to come back while creating an outline in her head for the subject matters they could discuss.
When Gina does return with the snacks she promised, Dia failed to share the enthusiasm and noticed something off instead. She can smell the fresh orange tart from where she sat and she’d love to dig right in. But she knew Gina well enough to detect certain changes with how she greeted her. “Quite a few. But before that–”
“–are you alright, Gina?” Gina was cheerful, yes. But something felt off. Dia could be wrong, but she’d rather clarify it now before showing her all the books she’s prepared for them to go over.
░ 🎀 ░ Gina thought she could simply ignore how upset she was because of her grandmother’s scoldings. She forgot how sharp Dia could be and soon enough her attempt o distract herself and pretend everything was fine was foiled by a simply question.
❝ M-me ? Of course , um ... ❞ Her voice cracked, displaying how an obviously terrible liar she was. She placed the snacks down and took a deep breath.She felt guilty for lying to her face, so instead of dismissing it, she shyly starts to admit what happened earlier, taking a seat opposite of her confused friend.
❝ It’s just... Grandma doesn’t like it very much when I spend too much time with you . It’s very unprofessional of me , she says . ❞ She looked down and fiddled with her fingers, ashamed to admit this but she didn’t want to lie in front of her young mistress. No matter how old she becomes, she’s still so weak-willed and so easy to cry... Even now she wanted to, but she resisted with the best of her abilities. ❝ But there’s no need to worry , Miss Dia ! You know how strict she can be when it comes to me, aha ha ... ❞
icequeendia:
Gina’s excitement was amusing to Dia. She loved seeing her like this and the fact that it was caused by her show of support made it ten times better. “Good. I would have been insulted if you refused me request–” She was only half joking but all that was thrown to the side when Gina admitted to some designs she hoped Dia would wear.. “You already have designs for me?”
It made her feel incredibly shy for some reason, and it showed in her face as pink hues colored her cheeks. “T-that would work, yes. Once you’re done for the day, we can discuss the designs over dinner? I’ll make sure Martha won’t scold you if you dine with me.”
And before she forgets, she took out her the snacks she bought from Felicity’s booth and presented it to Gina. “Before I leave, I wanted to give these to you. I’m not sure how long you plan on staying here but in case you get hungry, I got a tiramisu and some iced tea.”
░ 🎀 ░ ❝ T-thank you so much ! How thoughtful of you, Miss Dia ! ❞ She wanted to cry right now and express her happiness, but that would be too embarrassing, especially in front of her young mistress. So instead, she wears her brightest smile and gratefully accepts the snacks given to her. ❝ They look delicious ♥ Thank you for going out of your way and giving these to me . I’ll be home before dinner, I promise ! ❞
She knew even if her grandma won’t scold her in front of her young mistress, and if she were to share a meal with her, she’d have an earful! Regardless, it was not enough to stop her from taking the offer, and she would want nothing more than to share both a meal and her designs for her favorite person.

vagabondkyle:
“Huh? Well, yeah of course I do.” That answer came out automatically and without much thought, but it was the truth. He just didn’t understand why Gina seemed so giddy over it.
When she asked about her contact information, Kyle realized he… didn’t actually have her number. All he knew was that sometimes she stayed in Arcadia cause she works over there some days. The broadcasting station could work too but… damn. “Her name’s Lillie Springfield. This is kind of awkward but… I can’t really give you her number or her home address.” Cause I don’t have it. “But I can arrange you for you two to meet somewhere?”
He didn’t really want to burden Gina with the task of tracking down Lillie so he’ll just have to do that himself. Maybe he’ll get her number then?
As he started thinking about a plan for all this to work, Gina once again surprises him with another question, but he’s not so calm about it this time around. Cheeks dusted in a light red shade, Kyle almost stammered as he answered, “You got it all wrong!”
“Lillie… isn’t my wife and we don’t have a child. The people that took me in are expecting their firstborn soon and I thought it’d make for a nice gift.” The idea of him being married and having a child was so strange and made him feel embarrassed, but what really made him lose his calm was he fact that it was Lillie. “I just wanted to show my friend some support for her performances, that’s all. She’s really important to me.”
░ 🎀 ░ Surprised to hear she was wrong in her assumptions, Gina was doubtful as she listened to Kyle’s explanations. His reaction was proof of that!
❝ Is that so ? I apologize for getting ahead of myself , Sir Kyle . But it truly did seem like she was your wife — or something similar, hee hee .❞ Perhaps he was simply dense? From just the way he talked about her, Gina can tell she wasn’t simply important to him. She was special.
❝ I'll accept your payment now, but uhm, once you figure out how i’ll meet Miss Lillie, please inform me through this number. ❞ Gina scribbled down her contact information on a piece of paper and handed it over to Kyle, excited to coordinate with the special lady in her life. ❝ If you have inputs yourself about her , I would love to hear them . It will help me come up with a fitting design .❞ And she really just wanted to fawn over such an innocent kind of love.

vagabondkyle:
Kyle was being chill about the whole ordeal at first, but soon enough, Gina started bombarding him with worry and even started scolding him! This definitely shocked him since she seemed like the quiet type at first.
“Uh–” Kyle didn’t know when was the right time to intervene and from the looks of it, his nurse was really passionate about scolding him! So instead of cutting her off, he just takes all of her scolding like a kid getting caught playing in mud, mouth shut and head nodding along.
“I understand where you’re coming from, Gina. But don’t worry, I’m not trying to domesticate my wolves–” Not too much. “I’m just training them. Although, they’re kind of like family to me, too, he he.”
At her question, Kyle was nodded and proudly answered, “Mmmhm. Washed it with soap and water. Squeaky clean! It stung a bit but I cleaned it well, I think.”
░ 🎀 ░ Gina wasn’t too sure what to think of her patient, but one thing was for sure, he was too relaxed considering he’s the injured one here. Based from what she heard so far, he really did have a careless lifestyle. ❝ You’re very contradicting , Sir Kyle ... but I will trust your words this time around . ❞
She starts patching up his wounds, cleaning them once more before wrapping them properly. She worked quietly, focusing on the task at hand. Her patient was a lively one, but that didn’t mean she had to be one too. Mostly because it made her nervous and unable to focus on what she needed to do.
Life of a Photographer
shyshutterbug:
Oh, her fingers were shaking! What if she got it wrong? She would, the phone screen was so small, and her anxiety was only make it worse. But the camera clicked and she tapped it a few more times in quick succession, just in case one or more of the shots were bad.
It was over as quick as it started and Molly looked at the other girl with wide eyes. “I… I don’t know.” Molly held her phone and tapped on the photo album icon. An array of squirrel pictures came up as thumbnails. “Yes!” She jiggled a dance of victory, giggling in excitement, then realized she was still with someone. Molly straightened nervously but held out her phone so the other could see. “Ah, thank you! I wouldn’t have seen them if you hadn’t pointed them out.”
░ 🎀 ░ Nervous to know the result, Gina tried not to show her worry as she heard the other’s lack of confidence in her shots. ❝ Oh no... I’m sure it came out nicely ... ❞
She waited for the brunette to finish inspecting her photos, the urge to bite her nails so strong. Thankfully there was no need for that cause soon enough, the brunette was dancing and giggling. ❝ Congratulations ! ❞ She probably shouldn’t have sounded so cheerful as it seemed she was doubtful of her skills, but she was truly happy she was able to get it the second time around. ❝ This is a very interesting shot — do you take pictures like these often ? ❞

░ 🎀 ░ Earlier today, Gina’s grandmother instructed her to watch over the cookies she was baking and take them out once the timer rang. Following her instructions, Gina listened intently for a loud DING! and soon took out the freshly baked cookies. She placed most of them in a jar until it was full. And for the extra ones? She transferred them to a plate before sneaking off to find a place to enjoy them.
As she escapes with her cookies, she comes across a fellow employee in the villa. Unlike her, she was probably diligently working.
But even the most diligent of employees needed breaks, and so Clorica decided to approach her with the intent to share the extra cookies.
❝ Clorica ... Miss Clorica ...❞ She nudged the sleeping butler gently, voice quiet in fear of getting heard. She knew better than to interrupt someone in the middle of work ( even if she was asleep ), but sometimes, there had to be exceptions. Especially when it involves a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies! ❝ Would you like some ? I’m about to take a break hee hee ♪ ❞
