Sumire took her time, greeting and conversating with various locals. Some she knew through her families connections, other were clients from the clothing shop. Even some were merchants of their own that requested different shipments through the white lotus trading company. She moved to the massive open area with empty tables lined up ready for entries. She looked to where some stalls were that held different containers for the flowers, Two more that held a variety of the flowers and one for anything else they wished to add to the flower arrangement. this was her favorite competition to watch in this fete. She learned so much from each arrangement as you can tell the differences from each and every one. She moved to the stalls grabbing herself a vase before grabbing several different types of flowers and branches.
Slowly she moved to a table seeing several others joining in on the flower arrangement as well.

Each type of flower had a different smell and appearance. Some were poisonous to consume, but fine to handle. There were ones that were edible and had different benefits. All the flowers there were quite varied as well as seasonal. This wasn't a contest in any way to create a flower arrangement. Having so much variety and freedom without pressure was a few of the things that drew him towards the activity last year. Walking closer told Joseph that Hinota wasn't here this year, so far at least. ~I hope she's alright.~ He signed out before letting out a breath. Even if she didn't remember, the Ravencrest still considered her a friend. ~No, I wouldn't count as that anymore.~ Their hands spoke the silent words of sign language, his face falling a little and bodies movements lowering a bit. That would be accurate, right? That was life, he hadn't made the friend cut. ~That's alright, life is life.~ That was something that could always carry him through any mistake made on his part. Lingering wouldn't change how things panned out and he had no plans of harassing a good person. A slightly bitter smile popped onto his lips as he finished walking over to the table. None of this changed that it hurt, but at least he would get over it with time. The promise they made to have tea together one day just wouldn't happen.
Their corpse pale eyes looked over the variety with thought. There was no rush, which meant they could relax. Long and slender fingers poked the air a bit in contemplation before choosing a vase to use. It was a very plain and basic one, but the man wasn't known for being artistic. He grabbed a pale white ginger flower, its shape reminding him of something resembling the scales of a dragon. The way each petal hugged and over lapped was interesting to him. Joseph preferred this over the louder look over the butterfly ginger flowers whom had less petals, but each one was wide and opened quite wide. Those ones also had large stamens that resembled hands pushing outwards to him, which he wasn't a fan of. It only took reaching out to some white yarrow to realize that as pretty as those were, it didn't really match the flower he picked previously. For some reason the white lupine looked a bit aggressive to him. ~Does anything match the ginger flower?~ Maybe it was a mistake to grab one and he should have picked a different flower at the start. No, there was a flower that suited them, he was sure. The man reached towards a small pouch he had on before opening it up. It was full of wild herbs, but the ones he pulled out where blue sage flowers. They were long with a multitude of tiny light blue flowers blossoming upon it.
It would be nice to have more than the ones he had picked, but he was also sure that they wouldn't have random people seeking out flowering herbs. Most people didn't look at a sage plant and see it for the blossoms, but the cooking uses of the leafs. The man started straightening out the sage flowers he had taken out before zipping their pouch back up. After that? He put them into the plain vase. His posture started to relax more, the bitterness fading from their smile. ~The white yarrow would fit now I think.~
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] Leaving the situation with the hope that he gave his friend more to be desired later, Taiyo walked off. He could feel the tension there and he knew that if he was going to build her up then it would be over time. Well, that was something he had to work on when that time came. He dusted off any spec of dust he found on his clothing before walking off. He could sense that not only his cousins were in the vicinity but also his newly acquired seamstress, Sumire Honoka. There was something about how comfortable her clothes were that he was pretty proud to show them off. The styles were pretty unique to what he was accustomed to as well. Additionally, it even got him a compliment from his ex-girlfriend. He would imagine that Sumire would be happy to see him wearing the clothes she made for him and also be happy to have him freely advertise her work. [break][break] Moving over to the area where she was, he could see that she was participating in the flower gathering event. He wasn’t expecting her to be participating in the events but that didn’t matter. He approached her and sat next to her. ”Hi there, Sumire. It’s good to see you.” He saw the vases and baskets and the banquet table full of flowers which made him smile. He looked at the many flowers and thought about what assortment he was going to make. He took a deep breath and decided to start with primroses. ’I didn’t expect to see you participating in the events. I figured you would be here trying to get more clients for The White Lotus. Who knows, maybe you can do both.” He looked over at her and smiled. ”Also, thank you very much for the clothes. They fit perfectly and seem to be catching the eye of many people. Was told by others that it suits me and it makes me look more mature.” [break][break] He went back to sorting his floral arrangement. After the primroses, he looked around the table before his eyes ended up landing on foxgloves. He wondered if the purples from the foxgloves would match back with the yellows from the primroses. They seem to look good together, at least to him. He reached for the foxgloves and added them to his primroses. He wasn’t done just yet though. There still wasn’t enough. He continued surveying the table before he found the next flower he wanted to add to his assortment. [break][break] He picked up a few crocuses and added them to the mix. Hmmm…. If Cyra was here, she could tell me what she thought of the flower combination but she’s not here so I have to deal with it. I think it looks wonderful but it is far from complete. As he kept looking the next flower, he heard low growls in the distance but when he looked in the area where he heard the noises there was nothing there.

Sumire moved through the various stalls picking the vase then the intended flowers. She smiled finding the arrangement she wanted to make. Moving towards an empty spot she looked over some of the other competitors and arrangements seeing one rather tall fellow and his arrangement. She wasn't sure of it but she moved back over tot he flower stall picking up some lavanders as she moved back towards him placing down the lavanders next to him. "I think these Lavanders will compliment your White Yarrow and the other flowers within your arrangement." She spoke with a smile moving to an empty spot behind him as she took her time working on her own arrangement. Finishing it just as a familiar voice caught her ears. She looked over to see it was None other then Taiyo Vermillion.
She smiled looking over to him " Well of course my clothing is going to be complimented on. I am a prodigy within my craft. I simply found the fabric that was best complimented your body with the acknowledgement of your lifestyle and movements within your ways of fighting." She said watching him form his arrangement. " I am happy you are impressed and liking my clothing as I am quiet proud of each and every stitch I put into the fabric." She added allowing her sapphire blue eyes to watch his every move. She was tempted to do his arrangement for him as this was something she was raised to know in her land back home. however she was finished with her arrangement and wasn't about to assist when it wasn't asked as her

Deathly pale pink eyes focused a bit more upon hearing a familiar voice. They weren't speaking to him, likely to pretend Joseph didn't exist. The words weren't exactly the best to the red head, but reacting might not look the best. To him, the compliments felt almost underhanded. It was almost like bragging about yourself while complimenting the work in the young mans eyes. The royal may have had too few interactions to make a fair judgment of the Vermillion, but so far there had yet to be anything that rubbed him the right way as it concerned that person. The first time they met was at the celebration in Kikka to help those that lived there, trying to control Amayas actions to the point where he wanted to stop Joseph from getting her a drink. Even after knowing the golden dawn member was a medical student, they still wanted to have complete control. Between this detail and how unhappy the man seemed to be to leave the white haired girl alone, the pale man was happy to have heard of the rumors that the two were no longer together. Even if he didn't have enough information to make a fair assessment on Taiyos mental state, there was enough that he knew he didn't want the person near his cousin. Their eyes moved to look towards the girl when she spoke to him, their attention being on her words.
Joseph wasn't dressed fancy in any way, unlike the other two there. His white dress up shirt with its red buttons, tan pants, and brown shoes were the sort of clothes one might expect a commoner to wear. If not for his golden dawn mantel, he would look like a commoner that profession leaned towards the musical profession. His long hair was braided as usual, keeping down its natural flashiness as much as possible. Even the glasses where there to make him look less flashy. The young man didn't need glasses in any way whatsoever, despite the almost complete lack of any visible pupils. Their eyes looked back to the flowers before reaching for some of the white yarrow. “Thank you for the suggestion. Are you experienced in flower arrangements?” It was either that, or she understood sign language. Either way still pointed towards her knowing more about the topic than anyone else currently at the table. This made sense, as it was a talent considered very useful to learn for various reasons. “White ginger flower, sage blossoms. I'm not experienced or creative, so I picked the ginger flower because its appearance reminds me of scales. The sage flowers from my pouch where the only thing I thought matched the ginger...” He paused a bit, putting some white yarrow into the arrangement.
“I only really do things like this for fete. Not trying to imitate an expert like you, but it feels like participating in this event helps ease the pain from my memories of that watery event a bit. I didn't even know adding certain flowers could help something look better with other flowers until a few moments ago. Thank you for the help.” His voice was as gentle as ever before finally reaching for the suggested lavender with his long and slender fingers. He could never mimic the skills of an expert, but this was still something he enjoyed doing. It was healing in its own way, like a medicinal salve lathered on top of a wound that hasn't fully healed. “My name is Joseph, may I ask yours?”
[attr="class","Enlilimage"]❝Even a storm can be calm under the right circumstances.
[attr="class","Enlilscroll"]The young bachelor had been walking around the fete grounds since the speech from the Blue Rose captain, quite a few things she had said were going through his mind. He wondered about how much he said was actually true and how much was just a farce for the masses. He knew better than to question things where people might hear and as he was accompanied by a maid he was afraid that even if he whispered she might overhear what he believed then she would betray him as the last maid did and he would be punished once again. This was something he didn't want and so kept it within. "So far nothing has caught my attention." he said calmly as he continued to walk sighing. "Young master..." the maid said quietly making him stop to look at her "What is it?" he would ask calmly.
The maid looked almost nervous and gestured to the tables "You do enjoy flower arranging young master, you've always said it is relaxing." she whispered. He turned his eyes to where she was gesturing. He did notice a few people at the table he recognized even if he had never met them personally. "You have a keep eye Amelia, thank you." he said his tone slightly warmer than usual giving rare praise to the woman as he moved over to the table. Before taking a seat he looked at those already there and bowed politely to them with his Royal blue and gold changshan gently flowing in the light breeze. "Excuse me, I do not mean to intrude but do you mind if my maid and I join you at the table?" he would ask allowing them to decide if he could join if not he would just move to another table and arrange on his own.
He looked at the blonde-haired girl at the table closely "I don't mean to pry miss, but if I am not mistaken you are wearing clothing made by the master tailors and seamstresses of the White Lotus." he would say his tone showing appreciation to the craftsmanship of the clothing. "Where are my manners? I do apologize. My name is Enlil and this is my maid Amelia." he said the maid giving a bow to them all she was wearing a simple black kimono with a white apron "It is an honour to meet you all." her voice was small and kind as she spoke. Enlil's eyes looked to Joseph and signed ~Could you tell your cousin Amaya I send my regards and remind her that it is her turn to host tea.~ he was respectful as he signed, there was no hostility in any way to anyone there.

Sumire smiled watching Joseph and his arrangement as she gently pulled back her left sleeve with her right hand as she adjusted her arrangement a bit, while thinking of her proper response. " It is quiet alright with me. I am happy and honored those of clover would hold something from my homeland. I am absolutely no expert when it comes to these arrangements and settings as there is still much I am to learn. I quiet enjoy making flower arrangements, it is rather relaxing." She commented in earnest as she bowed " My name is Sumire, it is a pleasure to meet you Joseph."
She wasn't a master at arranging as it wasn't something she did day in and day out, however she knew enough knowledge to make a lovely arrangement and even enough to make a show stopper if she wanted to. However, She was here to enjoy a dear custom of her home and enjoy seeing others appreciate the art. She allowed her attention to change to the sudden acknowledgement from a new arrival. She looked up from her arrangement, allowing her sleeves back down as she nodded. " By all means, I have no reservations, the more the merrier." She spoke in acknowledgement accepting his request to possibly join them. She allowed her bright Sapphire eyes to shimmer in the light as they took in the details of his outfit in quiet acknowledgement of its makings and tailoring from where she stood.
Soon after she listened to his next words asking a question It was on her Yukata. She smiled nodding in acknowledgement. " I see you have a good eye for garments fashioned. I actually made this yukata for myself. From the pattern, to the choice of fabric, to the detail of the stitching. I am quiet proud of this garment and it tends to be my favorite one for such occasions. I do love the craftsmanship of the tailors that have taken a great deal of time and detail put into the fabric of your changshan. The colors compliment you very well." She complimented back as she bow in respect " It is a pleasure to meet you Enlil, I am Sumire." She said enjoying the conversation as she watched him sign to Joseph. She wasn't the most fluent in signing , however she knew the most basic of sentences and signs to be able to handle business as needed with whoever her client was at any given time and if she didn't know, she was all for learning of new ways to further cater to her client's needs for future business.

This was unexpected. It was obvious people would come and go, this was merely one of many activities involved within a festival. What surprised him was the person who had arrived seemed to have a good idea of who both of them where before either of them had a chance to say anything. This was a skill of someone that was good with politics would have, he imagined. Someone involved in kingdom politics, or a merchant that wanted to stay on top of things. From the comment concerning Amaya, the man was likely a noble. Making an assumption would be a poor thing, but what wasn't an assumption was this knew person knew sign language. They also knew that Joseph understood it. While things were a bit surprising and a bit unnerving, for some reason his body and mind relaxed a bit. He didn't want to around a stranger, but it was better to be seen as his cousins relative rather than his mothers son. Besides that, if he became too upset around Taiyo then there would be at least one person he could still talk to. Normally the idea of having their thoughts signed out loud known by a stranger would be bad, but it was also rare to find a person he was sure he wouldn't get along with. ~I will tell her that next time we see each other. Are you both friends?~ He signed these words out with slightly smoother movements in the signing than usual from his muscles being less tense.
“It's nice to meet you Enlil, as well as Amelia. You seem to have a sharp mind.” Their corpse pale pink eyes looked over towards the maid a bit. The formality towards him by a servant was still new to him, though not the first time at this point. It just felt so strange all the same. Hands moved briefly to sign, but he controlled the urge, for now. Hands tensed for a moment before the muscles released. ~I think the more people enjoying the event, the better. It would be nice to see what you make.~ Then again even if he wasn't good at flower arrangements, the man still loved plants. That of course included flowers. Sumires talking was a reminder that the golden dawn member was under dressed compared to everyone else there. Typically dressing this way helped him stand out less, but wouldn't it be the opposite in this case? He had no idea and the thought of that started to cause anxiety to start up a little. Her homeland... His eyes drifted to the flowers in the couchette for a bit. ~I'm letting myself get too anxious. Calm.~ It was almost like the tall figure was giving himself an order. This strange way of talking to himself worked, however strange it seemed. “Even if you are no expert, your skill is still far above mine, thank you. Its nice to meet you Sumire. I hope its not too rude to ask this, but do you miss your homeland?”
Some people would be fine with the question, but some wouldn't. It was better to be safe than sorry, to make it clear that it was fine to not say if she didn't feel comfortable saying anything. Why curious? His mothers family had lived in clover, but she had still held onto things from that homeland. Even as a family that had been in Clover for generations, her roots were still as deep as her straight dark long hair. Honestly having long hair himself likely didn't upset Joseph due to how pale his own locks were. It was different enough for the man to not associate her with the length, even if he was positive the color was as flash as it was because of her. In any case, their long slender fingers moved, adjusting the flowers in the simple vase before looking over the options. Just as last year, the options seemed almost endless. Should he add more, or say this was complete? ~Maybe some bluebonnets.~ The man signed these words out before reaching for some bluebonnet flowers that had a strong blue color. Some bluebonnet options had been purple and even magenta, but those were not colors he had chosen.
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] After greeting Sumire, he got to work on his floral arrangement. He looked over at Sumire when she spoke to him. Of course, that sassy attitude of confidence in her work was coming out. He was really happy that she was outgoing with her work. It wasn’t arrogance. ”That you did. I still can’t believe just how comfortable this is compared to my other clothing styles.” He gave her a soft smile before she spoke of how she was happy about him being impressed and liking her work. ”And I am glad that you are. I think I would like to commission much more from you. I guess we will talk more about that later.” [break][break] Taiyo looked over and saw Joseph was there. He had met the man before but they weren’t exactly buddies. Taiyo mentally sighed and put on a welcoming smile. ”Hi there, Joseph. How have you been?” He didn’t know if the other man would even give him the time of day but he wasn’t up for any drama. He had enough of that on his plate with his father stripping away his heirship. He was a disgraced man with nothing going right for him but even so he had to keep on fighting the fight even if that meant doing the things he didn’t want to do. [break][break] He went back to doing his arrangement. He saw that his Foxgloves, Primroses and Crocuses needed a bit more to make it all complement each other. He looked across the area, his eyes landing on some Cotoneaster. He smiled and reached for it as a new face joined them. They introduced themself as Enlil. He had complimented Sumire and her style, even noticing that it was made from the White Lotus’ master tailors and seamstresses. Taiyō was well aware of Enlil's existence. He was one of Amaya's friends and they crossed paths a few times. ”It's been a while, Enlil. Also, pleasure to meet you, Amelia.” He said with a smile before his attention returned to getting the cotoneasters for his arrangement. After adding that to the mix, he looked over to see some calluna. If anyone were to ask him, he would simply let them know that his arrangement was an early bloom arrangement. [break][break] He finally finished his floral arranging and smiled. He heard chuckles and giggles right behind him which caused him to look back immediately but again nothing was there. He was sure something was there! He wasn't paranoid! He couldn't be losing his mind. This all started when he was stripped from his heirship and got that potion… The potion! Of course! It did make him much stronger but as a result he watched Cyra perished in front of him slowly and very much painfully. Then he started hearing strange noises at random times but there was nothing there ever. Was this Cyra's spirit haunting him? Was this all cause he took that stupid power boosting potion. Would it all be worth it in the end? There were so many questions about what was happening to him. So many strange things like his magic having a strange gravity twist to him. He did enjoy the gravity aspect of his new found power but what cost was paid for him to have it? This was what he needed to find out before he lost his sanity.
[attr="class","polarPOSTIT"] It was once again time for a Flower Festival, and it made Yugo very happy that this was the second one he had attended. He had never been able to as a child and it was nice to be able to look down from where he was with some other magic knights, sitting in a tower area as he looked for Joseph. One of the knights would inform him where he was using his sensory magic and Yugo would smile thanking him for the help. Hed make his way to the flower arrangement area and when he saw his sweet beloved, he couldn’t help but just…watch for a bit. As others came and began to interact with him. He smiled, glad his partner had people he could talk to outside of him. He watched and saw the small moments of self doubt and self calming and he could read his lovers hands so well that even he could see from this distance how he was handling things. Once things were settled on people seemingly talking to him, hed make his way quietly, silently. Unless Joseph was using a spell hed not be able to hear him past the crowd. [break][break] He saw him sign to himself and as he reached for the first color of the blue bonnet he wanted, Yugo moved quickly and silently letting his hand slip onto josephs as they both took the flower at the same time.he smiled and let his eyes look at joseph as he smiled. Despite all the changed the look of love in his eyes for joseph had not changed. Infact it had deepened thanks to his partners care and help. He smiled softly and brought the blue bonnet to his lovers chest and gently chuckled. “I think I dressed to grandly. I have had eyes on me all day.” he had made sure to dress as fancy as he could. Because as a noble it was part of his duty to show his wealth, while also donating and helping. It was such a strange mix of culture that he wasn’t sure he fully understand. Yet he also knew he had to maintain these traditions, as without them he could not make it clear that he was a noble, and such the business men in the area would not see the chance to make money by hel[ing with his ventures. [break][break] He smiled softly as the bright emerald green mask was easy to tell who it was under it. It wasn’t to hide. But just to bring color to his somehow paler skin. He was like an undead corpse in color. Yet his body was still warm and living. He chuckled softly and kissed josephs neck quickly enough that it wasn’t lingering, but took his time to taste and feel his lovers body as it was in that moment. He then let go of his hand and smirked. “I am glad I was able to find you so quickly. How do I look?” He was wearing an outfit inspired by plants and greenery and the majestic peacock. Yet he kept that part ironically more subdued. He didn’t want to stand out for being to f;lashy, he wanted to show his wealth and status without being too much. The greens were noticable but not garrish. A few beautiful feathers and embroidered flowers littered the outfit. he chuckled softly, the tail feathers bouncing as he gently moved to let his lover and partner to have space to react. he turned to the others and smiled. “greetings. I am Yugo Blake. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.” he smiled softly.

Pale hands touched Josephs in the reach for one of the blue bonnet flowers of his choice. Even if he knew the other was coming to the event beforehand, it was still a surprise. How could he not know when they live together? Pale corpse like pink eyes moved their eyes focus on the other, looking them over a bit before the mans gaze went back to the flower that was moved to his own chest. It was certainly a romantic gesture that caused their face to slightly color. Joseph was certainly the type to have his heart won more by romantic actions and words, not lustful actions. Yugo had certainly become more skilled at winning their heart without also making them want to shake the pale man. Their long fingers held onto the flower for a moment before moving it towards the bouquet. “You're dressed perfectly. People are staring because you look so nice. I'm the one that's under dressed.” With that spoken the golden dawn member started adding bluebonnets to the other vase, starting with the one in his hand. It was hard trying to learn the rules of nobility for him. The man had lived as a commoner the majority of his life. Besides longer hair and becoming taller, the only physical changes that happened with him had been accidentally popping the magic his mother put on him so long ago.
This wasn't a change Joseph had wanted, to be able to stare into his own eyes whenever looking into a reflective surface wasn't a desire he had before. Just as his hair was certainly from Fintan, their true eye color was irreversibly and undeniably from his mother. But these were physical changes from either growing with age or growing emotionally. This didn't equate to learning about nobility etiquette in how to act or dress though. If the touch on the hands hadn't gotten Joseph stirred up, the kiss to the neck had certainly done so. Their face flushed, not having expected it. The two still hadn't done much physically, despite living together. A kiss was still a big deal in private, let alone around a group of other people. But this Ravencrest really loved that touch on his hand and kiss to his neck. “You have a shimmering beauty of a peacock in spring.” They started to adjust the flowers in the bouquet until realizing that it finally looked completed. He didn't want to stop at just flowers, not at this time. “I think you found me because you know I love plants and the outdoors.” He wasn't going to pretend like Yugo didn't know that, even while the two were within a crowd. Their long fingers stopped poking at the flowers before grasping at both of Yugos hands. This didn't make his faces color lessen any, it was a reminder that this was his boyfriend.
How many other people would he grab like this, or let them kiss him? Only one. “The miss here is Sumire, shes an amazingly talented tailor. She made the clothes she wears as well as Taiyos clothing. Taiyo is the red head. That sir is Enlil, a very sharp minded and polite person. Sorry everyone, I'm going to steal my boyfriend away to the scavenger hunt. The flower arrangement was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. Maybe learning more about my mothers culture would be nice at some point, I think this was a push I needed. Even if unintentional, you both helped me.” Joseph let go of the other with one hand than gestured his hand towards each person he spoke as he spoke of them. After that? The hand was right back to holding onto Yugo. He wasn't trying to ignore Taiyo, but he did at least want to address Enlil and Sumire first. “Hello Taiyo, I've been doing good. I hope you're enjoying the event as much as I am, have a wonderful day.” With that? His attention went entirely on Yugo before leaving the area, pulling the other along with him.
[attr="class","polarPOSTIT"] He smiled to himself softly as he felt his hand ontop of Josephs being moved to his partners chest. He gently pressed it there and smiled as he held him close. It was such a soft feeling, their bodies pressed together for only a second before they pulled apart and he chuckled. Yet in that second he felt a warmth that would keep him ashe spoke about being dressed perfectly he blushed a bit under the emerald green mask yet he could only plus more through his pale skin as his lover and boyfriend placed the flower in the basket and his appearance was complimented and his knowledge of Joseph was assertained by Joseph himself. He was right. He had watched him in the Garden his mother once tended with the help of the servents. De-weeding and replanting old and overgrown plants. Yugo helped as best he could having found it was almost like he was spending time with his mother. He heard her words in his head and would smile as he spoke them to him, not through words but through their sign language. He moved his fingers in a way that he knew Joseph could translate as they held hands and made their way toward the others so that he could be properly introduced. ~“Love and Life …are like a flower, no matter what one day the flower will wilt and perish from this world. So we must live every moment of it loving everyone we hold dear with just the same gentle fierceness that one must have to keep a garden alive by hand. Tending to it, loving it with every ounce we can.”~ [break][break] He would smile and politely bow as he was introduced and would let Joseph finish explaining who each person was. “Greetings, it is a pleasure to meet you all. I am Yugo Bl--” he paused butt hen smiled. He hadnt gotten permission from the man he thought was his father to use his last name yet, little did he know the truth of his bloodline. “Simply Yugo will do for now.” he would then quickly scoop up his lover. He was stronger then ever before in his life. As if the poison had finally for once and for all left his system. He smiled and would look at them all before turning and carrying himself and his lover to the scavenger hunt.

Sumire smiled looking at the gathered crowd as she nodded looking at all the conversations around herself " Yes I do dearly but since you seem interested in plants much like myself, I wouldn't mind spending some time with you whenever you are free joseph. Just come to to white lotus." She spoke acknowledging his departure " It is nice to meet you Yugo and I am happy for the both of you." She spoke allowing them on their way as she looked towards Enlil " While I do wish to talk more with you as I do believe becoming acquaintances will be most beneficial in our circles." She spoke sweetly as she turned towards Taiyo watching him and his arrangement.
She closed her sapphire eyes allowing her mind to wonder to the next events she had an idea for " I am very happy that you like your clothing as much as I enjoyed making them. That would be great. I would love to continue this chat but I do agree as this is not the time to speaking business. We are at an event to enjoy and relax so I don't mind doing so if you wish." She spoke allowing her sapphire eyes to watch his movements as while she found them subtle and odd, she wasn't here to judge as they were outside so there were such things as bugs that could be messing with him.
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] After Taiyo finished his floral assortment, a new face joined the group and revealed themselves as Yugo Blake. Him and Joseph had a conversation and their interaction, Taiyo understood their relationship. The new guy had kissed Joseph which wasn’t something he expected but hey, it was a free world. ”Nice to meet you, Yugo.” Taiyo wasn’t expecting so many people to show up in that area but he didn’t mind. After all, he was in a main noble family and being in the crowd of attention was a norm. Eventually, Joseph responded to Taiyo before he and Yugo took off. Before they left, he responded. ”That I am. I hope you two enjoy it as well.” And with that, those two left. It would seem that Enlil wasn’t around anymore either which left him alone with Sumire. He wasn’t disappointed one bit. Actually, he preferred it this way. Originally, he was going to pop in and see Leonora and maybe Leonard but he didn’t need to. [break][break] Taiyo had started discussing the clothing he got from her, regarding it as comfortable. He informed her that he was thinking of commissioning more from her but they would talk about it later. She was glad that he enjoyed it as much as she enjoyed making it. She was open to him commissioning more but agreed that they would have to continue the chat later as it wasn’t the time to speak business as they were out during an event which was meant for relaxation. ”Sounds great. Since we are both finished with our flower arranging, how about you and I do something else fun. I’m not much of a cook but the cooking contest looks fun. The eating one looks fun too. So, shall we?” He asked as he smiled at her charmingly while extending a hand out to her.

Sumire watched Taiyo listening to him speak of finally being done with his choice of an arrangement and its form as she smile watching him adjust some of the flowers as she lifted her hand up pushing her hair behind her ear before tilting her head " I am decent at cooking, I wouldn't say I am the best as it is not where my skill set truly is. However, I don't have issues with doing so as I have three siblings that I enjoy cooking for when I have a chance."She spoke with a smile, adjusting her sleeves as she watched him with a smile. " Alright Cooking contest then to the food competition I suppose getting those both done should take enough time as cooking always take energy. then maybe we can do the egg hunt or maybe see the mana beasts or maybe the scavenger hunt and decoration"She spoke extending her hand, allowing it to rest in his as she followed him out.
