@amethyst-slime-king: There's a knock on Noel's bedroom door. But if he opens it, he'll find no one there. On the ground, there's a big, beautiful flower bud (about 8 inches) it's not attached to any plant, and there's a little purple ribbon tied around it, keeping it closed.

He’s a little annoyed to find no one there upon answering his door. Seriously? Isn’t everyone here a little too old for ‘ding dong ditch’? A sigh, and Noel goes to close his door when his eyes travel down and he sees the flower bud. It’s so completely unexpected that he freezes and stares for a bit. With the ribbon, it looks like a gift...but who could have left it for him?
The Grimwalker looks up and down the halls to check if anyone is lingering, but nothing. Someone really just dropped off a flower, knocked, and split. It’s so out of left field that Noel considers that this might be a prank; or something more harmful, and starts to close his door again. He stops, sighs, and scoops up the flower before finally closing it with a soft click.
“If this is an assassination attempt, it’s one of the more unique ones for sure.” He mutters to himself while setting the flower down on his desk. Some valuable books about wild magic are transferred to his bed and quills placed back in their proper holder. Noel reaches for the ribbon, thinks better, and finishes clearing his desk of everything, which takes a while. But he’s not about to lose anything he’s worked on to acid spit or whatever.
This is the clearest he’s seen his desk in ages and takes a deep breath to hold it. No more hesitating, just get it over and done with. A hand reaches out and tugs on the ribbon until it falls off the flower, and he takes three big steps back to put distance between himself and the weird flower.
