( by the end of the second week of august, a special delivery arrives at rafayel's door. a carefully put-together bouquet, composed of what seems to be chrysanthemums of varying colors that, as elysia had found, symbolize optimism, peace, loyalty - the perfect gift for a friend she holds close to her heart. the true decor, however, comes in the form of a small, blue feather; perfumed, beautiful, so precious to the touch. one of the many that had appeared on elysia's body through her months in karteria, gifted for rafayel to remember her by.
and with it, of course, a note written in cutesy handwriting: )
Hi, Rafayel βͺ Are you surprised? A beautiful flower bouquet, carefully put together just for you. The flowers of Karteria are unlike anything I have seen, so specially unique. Each of them come with their own meaning, but you will have to find out what it is yourself, okay? They symbolize my feelings for you, so you have to treat it gently.
I have also decorated it with one of my own feathers, so you always remember me, and I can be by your side even when we're not together. Pretty, isn't it? Make sure to take extra care of it!
but, in spite of that initial spark of some unknown sentiment, he does genuinely appreciate the gift, just like he would have sincerely enjoyed any other aspect of the natural world. in water, only certain flowers could manage to grow atop its surfaces, and so it's a unique part of this world above the sea's depths. ... and her feather, all the more, even if he does wrinkle his nose lightly by the scent. not out of displeasure as much as instinct. still, he does type her a quick message: ]
you make it sound like ive been rough but got it ill be sure to tend to them well
