Where; Around the city.
When; The month of February.
Warnings; N/A

Inësa was unfamiliar with the event but the idea of Cherishment sent a thrill of excitement down her spine. She wanted to celebrate appropriately.

It was important to learn the various celebrations of mankind and to partake in her own unique way.

Flowing threads of pale wheat-colored hair draped over her shoulders while light pink ribbons weaved through the silky strands. Braids were twisted and tied, pulling her hair away from her face while a wide collection of flowers were artistically arranged to appear as if they were flowing along each braid. Inësa picked out a light pink dress with an open back to allow her wings to stretch before adding white lace cuffs to complete her attire. Her final decision was to forego shoes and wear lace around her ankles instead. It will be cold in the air but she wasn't worried.

Inësa hoped that she looked like a real angel.

Flowers & Flying

The wind cradled her slender frame as Inësa fell into the sky. It was exhilarating to soar through the air and feel the current curl around her wings, lifting her into the clouds. The turbulent currents attempted to hinder her path but a little magic was all it took to calm the circling air.

In her hand was a small woven basket filled with various flowers and crowns that she had collected and weaved together earlier that morning. She didn't have a set plan but she hoped to spot friends and those in need of a smile. With a shift of her wings, she dropped, expanding her wings only when she was closer to the sidewalk. The wind picked up to those on the streets, carrying flower petals across the street as Inësa's bare feet landed on the sidewalk.

"Hello. This is for you." She spoke as she offered a single flower or a crown of roses to her target, a sweet innocent smile shaping her lips.

Chocolates & Cherishment

It was like May Day when she lived in the Sphere but there were more than just flowers and ribbons being sold from the vendors on the streets. There was a menagerie of gifts on display and at the centerpiece of it, all was a set of delectable chocolates.

Inesa took some time to wander through the many shops and view the various trinkets that lined the streets. She wasn't working today but she peeked into A Cut Above to see if they were busy but she hadn't been needed.

There was so much excitement buzzing in the air that she didn't know what to do with herself. She eventually found herself sitting with a box of chocolates that she'd purchased. Of course, she'd heard the rumors about the chocolate's odd effects but she assumed they were innocent. Perhaps the chocolate changed her hair color or made her eyes sparkle. It felt as if something familiar had happened in the past but her memories were too hazy to properly recall.

After tasting a sweet minty flavored truffle Inesa offered chocolates to those she saw walking by. It wasn't that she didn't like them but she didn't need to eat and these sorts of treats tasted better when they were shared and enjoyed with others.

[ooc: feel free to select any chocolate effects or do something that isn't like either of these starters or takes place while Inesa is wandering around the city. I'll roll with anything.]

Inesa continued to smile. "I think so to." They had similar point of views and likely got yelled at whenever they interposed themselves in dangerous situations. Inesa would never stand by and watch someone get hurt. She'd rather take the bullet and heal herself after the situation was defused.

Having finished the crowns she needed, she began to collect roses for Llewellyn to turn into a crown for Rhy. "Yes. The sphere did not have seasons but you helped me find inspiration in flowers and nature that we could not see. It was nice. I was able to invoke memories of a world that was not under the water. I think I needed it back then." She wouldn't have been as happy living beneath the ocean if it wasn't for Llewellyn's presence.

"I am glad that I was able to inspire you too." She felt close to both Llewellyn and Rhy but in different ways. It was nice to experience so many different forms of love.

“I’m glad that I could... I think we all needed that there. To find small reminders of worlds with more nature and life in it.” He smiled thoughtfully at that. It was why this one (as contained as it still seemed in some ways) was such a relief to find himself in. “I’m grateful for having met you and Rhy and others there... I’ll never forget how lucky I was to know those I’ve known and enjoy our times together.” But here, the chance to experience new things in a world more full of life was lovely.

“In you own way, you inspired me to be more than I thought I could...” He responded with a small, soft smile. “It was something I tried to remember a lot over the years, but sometimes I need the reminder.” Their afternoons talking about flowers and helping with designs had been very good for that.

Llewellyn’s eyes fell on the roses Inesa was gathering, “Oh- those are quite lovely. I think he’ll like those quite a bit.” He commented, smiling brightly at the scarlet tones.

"I think so too." Inesa picked a few more red roses and passed them over to Llewellyn. "I am happy to have met everyone in the Sphere and here. I do not know what twist of fate caused it to happen but I will forever cherish my memories." Her memory wasn't very good but Inesa tried to remember those most important to her.

"I will always remind you!" She watched as Llewellyn weaved together a crown for Rhy. "What else do you think it needs? I might be able to create something we do not have." As long as it existed in the world already. "Perhaps a bit of pine for Rhy. I think he would like the scent."

“I have long wondered over how it came to happen, if there were reasons or mm... some sort of factor that brought each of us together, but in the end? I suppose that regardless of the reasons, I’m glad for the luck of having met you all.” Luck had been lacking in his life, but in this... He felt lucky, indeed.

The man tilted his head thoughtfully at the rose crown he was working on. “You’re right... It could use something to fill it out.” The question was what? At her comment, though, his eyes brightened. “Pine? Oh, yes, it does have a rather nice scent. The dark green would look nice with the flowers, too.”

"We could all be lucky." She replied with a smile.

Inesa reached forward and gently brushed her fingers along the weave of the crown. Small branches of pine began to twist and grow from within the weave. Unlike the pine trees outside, this was a smaller species that was softer than the sometimes harsh winter petals. "There. What do you think? Will he like it?"

The scent was soft and a little sweeter than the pine trees that were most common.

Llewellyn wasn’t sure if he’d ever see something like this, and not feel awed by it. It was just amazing, really, and probably the most beautiful form of magic he’d seen since leaving his world. Holding the crown aloft, he tilted it one way and then another. “It’s lovely, Inesa. I think he’ll adore it?” His fingers reached out to trace the pine for a moment. It was softer than he expected. “Yes, think it will look very nice on his head.” Nestled in his curly hair, it would be quite striking.

"Thank you, I wouldn't have uh- been able to think of that myself." He added with a little grin, knowing he would have probably overthought and overcomplicated trying to decide.

"Good! I wanted to give him a crown made by both of us. I am sure that he will love it." Gifts given by the heart were the most precious and she wanted this gift to be from both of them. "Please let me know if he likes it." It would make more sense for Llewellyn to give it to him.

She glanced back at her full basket and then at the window where the sun was beginning its rise. "I should go if I am going to hand these all out before the end of the day."

Llewellyn considered the request before he carefully set the crown with her collection. “You know… I think you should give it to him? I believe you may see him before I do, given you both work at the shop and I won’t see him till this evening. They’re, uh- better fresh.” He added with a little smile, somewhat bashful about sharing something he’d helped make, anyway.

And... Llewellyn wanted Inesa to be able to share the special gift they’d made with Rhy. His husband could use the time with his friend, and the three of them shared a bond, having been at the Sphere together.

At her comment, though, he realized it was indeed probably time for her to begin making her deliveries. “Ah- you’re right. Days do go by fast, I suppose.” He got to his feet and stretched lightly before snagging his hat. “I hope you enjoy your day, though, and that the crowns we made bring you and those you give them to joy.”

"Thank you, Mr.Llewellyn." She rose to her feet and brushed off the petals and leaves that had gathered on her skirt. She was wearing a pink dress as usual but this time it was open in the back, giving her the ability to stretch her wings. It would be the fastest way to deliver all of the crowns.

"I will make sure to give Rhy his as soon as I can." She was absolutely going to tell him that Llewellyn had made it and that she'd only added the accents. "I want to do this again. Maybe you can bring more flowers and teach me about them next time." She enjoyed spending time with Llewellyn and wanted to continue being able to talk like this.

"Ah. I- is it okay if I leave before you? You are welcome to stay as long as you like. I will clean up when I get home tonight." Or she and Jon would just sleep in an apartment that smelled like flowers.

“Thank you, Inesa.” He responded with a small, soft expression. He could imagine Rhy wearing it already, and he hoped to hear about it from his husband later that night. Whether Inesa told his husband that he had a hand in making it or not, it was still nice to have been a part of its creation.

And he certainly liked the idea of doing this again. “Oh? Yes, that sounds like fun! I’ll um- I’ll be glad to spend more time working on things like this, and perhaps we can even discover a few plants that neither of us have ever seen before, hm?” Yes, that sounded quite fun to him... And he liked having the chance to talk about them, and to teach Inesa what he knew, while also learning more about her.

The request gets a quick nod. “Of course, I’ll just need a minute or two to collect my own things, and I’ll make sure the door is locked behind me.” Because he wasn’t about to risk leaving things open or unlocked, that wasn’t safe. But it meant he could make sure all the flowers that might not be safe for Lancelot were gathered up and perhaps put up higher in case the bunny got out of his pen.

Either way, he would make sure things were secure for his friend before he left.
