“ They always said ‘ April showers bring May flowers’ but I figured the flowers would bloom in May only when I was little. “
the mage laughs softly, pausing to kneel down next to a small bush of flowers in the sand. fingers reach out to gently touch the petals-- they were bright blue at the tips, fading into a gradient of white -- head tilting as she glanced over the small bunch of flowers. “ I was always so amazed when they showed up in April. “ she laughs at the brief childhood memory, shaking her head as she leaned in closer to smell the flowers. ah, like rain. a comforting scent, she thinks, as she pulls back.
remaining low, she crosses her arms over her knees, turning back to look up at the one she dragged along on this nice day. Ophelia Phamrsolone. over the past year of her life here, she’s seen many familiar faces come and go, and surprise is no longer what she feels upon spotting one. instead, she prefers to simply help acclimate them to this place and Ophelia was no exception. in fact, the entire reason Ritsuka had invited her out was because when she ran across her a few days ago, she looked....stressed. worried.
and what better way to ease such a thing than a day at the beach?
“ You know, they kinda match your eyes.” turning back, she carefully plucks one of the flowers mid-stem, an idea having popped into her mind. standing back up, she turns to the other mage and reaches out to carefully tuck the flower behind Ophelia’s ear, careful to avoid getting it snagged in her hair but still making sure it would remain secure against the gentle breeze. “ There...we....go. Now you’re ready. “
