MAZE BY PIXIE LIGHT ( @porteurdereve )
Owing to the recent information told to her by Thancred which may or may not be true, Tsuru has found herself...indecisive on where she stands. Long has she wished for idle daydreams to become a reality, in varying measures but this one feels as though she's on thin ice. G'raha's feelings have always been an enigma to her, or perhaps they have always been noticeable and she simply never stopped to think about whether or not her own could ever be mutual. Plus, it wasn't as if she ever had the time to analyze their interactions, nor has she ever given any deep thought to his constant skittish behavior when around her as she believed that was owed to his admiration.
Now, however, it's hard not to second guess every exchange they've shared, each grazes of the skin, every time they'd shared more than just a passing look. While Tsuru has tried to be subtle with her affections, she wonders now if she's been as tenuous as she previously thought herself. That, and she wonders if Thancred is actually right. Because G'raha has given her pause on more than a few occasions now with some of his reactions. His stuttering, constantly flushed face, and overall bashful demeanor is put into a new perspective. One that she'd like to explore...from a cautious distance.
So, it seemed to her that from now on would be as good of a time as any to try to traverse the various complications that may or may not concern their relationship. Or at least try to. And in her first attempt, what better way to set the mood than to invite him to something that was supposed to be for couples? Thankfully, she'd taken the liberty of inviting him earlier to which he'd heartily accepted as she knew he would. The summer festival activities had been well underway in Cotes Ward, and plenty of people were still out and about even though the sun was setting and the night was beginning to set in.
Tsuru waits at the entrance to the hedge maze lights bouncing to and fro keeping adequate lighting, straightening out her summer dress as she waits. Finally, after some time, she sees G'raha looking just a little bit lost, but he manages to find his way to her after she waves to him. "I was starting to think you stood me up. Though I wouldn't blame you if so, I'm sure there are books that want for studying." She says, smiling at him. "Are you ready? The prize for this is simply splendid. And I've been hoping to try but haven't had the chance to."
"Oh, right. The prize is a crystal flower that is...traditionally exchanged between pixies who promise themselves to one another. And it signifies their promise to remain at each other's side forevermore. Romantic, isn't it?" Of course, she bats her eyelashes after saying so all the while studying G'raha's reaction.
