Day Two, a contract, and a promise.
Dear Roxy Monarda, First Floret. (@lovingpetalpup) Over the course of Florethood, petals will experience many joys.
They will find joy in life, and in the memories they make throughout it.
They will find joy in things that are beautiful, and in nature everything is beautiful.
They will find joy in dreams, and chasing your dreams is exhilarating, isn't it?
They will find joy in creation, for even the hands they use to make is filled with so much love.
They will find joy in freedom, the freedom to be themselves unbound by society's pressures.
They will find joy in hope, hope in a better tomorrow, better people, and hope in a better self to enjoy all of it.
They will find joy in wealth, wealth in an understanding that no matter how small, no matter how pointless it may seem, in scarcity and post-scarcity, everything has value and potential deeper than any pricetag could ever define. You will now and forever will be, priceless, Petal, and I will make sure you stay that way in my eyes and the eyes of others. Over the course of Florethood, petals are broken and remade into something so much more many times over. But among those moments where you are made anew, three of them stand out beyond the others in Affini society. Today I grant you the first of your new selves. Roxy Monarda, First Floret, you have chosen to dedicate your mind to me, to always consider me in everything you do. My words, my love, my lust, I give them all to you so that you give yourself back to me in turn. Welcome to your first step into florethood sweetie, you're a Good Girl, and your joy will echo through the cosmos for an eternity.
Thank you @galaxypetalsblog for being present during the signing of this contract. And thank you @bella-perennis-1st-bloom for being witness to this just and fair tradition. I deeply appreciate both of you for bringing Joy to my floret.
