Fairies, flowers and God all in one story. I think you gave me a toothache.

[floralities]

Hey, take it up with my ancestors. They made it up.

[venomouselle]

You retain it too.

[floralities]

Mmm. Yeah.

[ She falls quiet for a long moment, repositioning the ache in her chest, drawing some comfort from the gentle fingers in her hair. She tries to imagine doing without those fingers, and the ache worsens. ]

Do you wonder if...

[mustbemad]

I need to find a present.

[floralities]

She likes books and the color red.

[mustbemad]

That does help.

[floralities]

But you know what all girls like, right?

No.

You're in luck.

I don't know if I'd call it luck.
