Was it that time of year already? The mage seemed almost giddy at the idea that his King was actually in his presence once again. Maybe it was because he had a chance to make up for what was lost in time. “Today is a wonderful day to celebrate, is it not, Artoria?” It was funny, despite it being hundreds of years since her birth, Merlin remembered it like it was yesterday. With a wave of his hand, the wizard sprouted several flowers out of thin air, creating wreath of roses that floated down and rested on her neck.
“Happy birthday, my dear. It’s good to be by your side once again, and I wish for you to experience many more of these in the future.” Reaching into his cloak, Merlin pulled out a platinum tiara, adorned with gold highlights and various jewels, with a larger blue diamond resting in the center of the magnificent piece. It was extravagant, but understated, something that would fit with her usual attire but allow her to have an extra bit of style if she so desired. “I may not be the best at crafting, but I still hope you like it.”
Unbeknownst to her, tapping the center diamond would make her sprout bunny ears.
Trail of flowers were all to familiar before the King, knowing well who was about to make their entrance. Being separated for a long time added to the obvious longing for the King of Knights when it comes to him. Her mentor finally stood before Saber, letting a tender smile appear before her face. They had exchanged a few embraces but this was a first to truly be delighted. Something about the wizard’s attitude grew infectious but clueless as to what could be ‘ special ’ about this date. She hadn’t the slightest idea…only considering this was a festivity within Chaldea. Emeralds soften lightly, inching closely to heed what he might have in store. ❝ What do you pray tell, MERLIN? I find today to be ordinary and without the need to celebrate. Or have I missed a festivity Master is attend— ❞ Eyes widened as they focus on the collection of flowers sprouting, gathering together for a wreath of roses.
A present being offered added a flush coloring into the King’s cheeks. Naturally she adored them as they were familiar gifts delivered in her youthful days. The scent surrounding them brought pleasant nostalgia into Saber, unable to contain that smile over her face. It’s been quite some time since he witnessed such emotions that were once suppressed. Before offering her thanks, the King is granted another craft. Hands were filled with an unusual tiara whose appearance is rather elegant at best. She can’t deny its beauty that compliments a king’s aesthetics…no matter how it looks. Even she wasn’t greedy nor selfish for anything that must be glorious through those eyes. Everything had its charm in ARTURIA’S mind. ❝ This is rather…lovely to be giving me but I love it. T-Thank you for remembering though I am also pleased to remain by your side again. ❞
What about this diamond added to the tiara, the king wonders? Some curiosity lingers…
