flowers & feathers delivery

[flamechase]

( by the end of the second week of august, a special delivery arrives at caleb's door. a carefully put-together bouquet, composed of alliums, blue tulips and meadowsweets that, as elysia had found, symbolize prosperity, trust and happiness - the perfect gift for a friend she holds close to her heart. the true decor, however, comes in the form of a dark green 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 caleb to remember her by.

and with it, of course, a note written in cutesy handwriting: )

Hi, Caleb ♪ 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!

May you find happiness wherever you go.

Elysia ♡

text — why is she so precious

[withhold]

thanks for the gift it's very sweet.
to avoid any misunderstandings though this is meant as a gesture of friendship correct?

she just has so much love in her heart!!!!

[flamechase]

Of course~ Was there any doubt?

( because she doesn't consider something... more than friendship. it just comes naturally to her! sorry caleb!! )

But it makes me so happy you liked the flowers! Make sure to water them everyday, okay?

meanwhile caleb......

[withhold]

[ that's all he needed to confirm. ]

I will, I'll make sure rafayel takes good care of his as well.

he has love in his heart it's just more particular!! it's ok!! she believes in him

[flamechase]

Rafayel is a good boy, so I'm sure he won't forget about it.
But if you catch him slacking, absolutely scold him for me! I'm going to be really sad if the flowers wither before their time!

[ she has! assignments for him!

she can't actually go herself for Reasons but that's not going to stop her from overseeing it in a way anyway. caleb's being sent part of a map of east sophia with circles over specific houses, as well as their addresses. ]

Your materials should be already arrived by the time you get there, since I asked the tenants to keep a hold on them for any workers. Do you mind sending me a video of your work once you've finished?

I'd join you, but I've been feeling under the weather.

[ such problems he'll find: leaking roofs, rotted windows needing to be replaced, walls that could be improved on to keep the chill out... but he'll have the wood, glass, roofing materials, tools, and nails needed too. ]

[withhold]

sure no problem I can send you a video.

[...]

if you don't mind me asking is your natural soul acting up?

[ignoreher]

[ can he not clock her this isn't lads period app

... it's easier talking to an acquaintance than a friend though, really. just give her a moment to struggle her embarrassment of vulnerability down. that's the second worst thing about it. the first, of course, is how out of her depth about herself she feels. ]

I can't think of any other reason I'd be feeling like this...
I'm just hoping it passes. Since it'll get in the way of my work otherwise. I'm really struggling to keep my mind focused right now as is...

[withhold]

[ don't call him out like this...... ]

do you have anyone to look after you right now?

[ignoreher]

[ nevermind rafayel coming around at some point, ]

No, it's too embarrassing so I've been lying and saying I'm sick.

post-event at some point

[ignoreher]

[ it's kind of lopsided in its stance, but

wham. the promised picture. the needle felt beetle. there's some clou... sheep? sheep, maybe, nearby on the desk too. ]



What do you think? I wanna name him too, but I don't know what. Taking suggestions.

[withhold]

it's cute.

maybe you can name him xiao jia.

[ignoreher]

Ooh, that's a strong one! Good idea. Xiao Jia it is.

[ also because the only other xiao she knows was really hard to fight. anyway ]

How're you holding up? This month's really been something else, huh...

[withhold]

I'm fine, can't say as much for the others.

[ what happened last month was nothing he didn't expect from an organization like patho-gen right from the get go, so color him unsurprised. ]

how are you doing?

[ignoreher]

[ honestly. same, but she had hoped it wouldn't turn out like the wings back home... oh well. at least there are people upset about it all even inside. ]

I'm alive! My sleep schedule is pretty messed up now, but I'm getting a lot of work done with my all-nighters, so it's not so bad.
Definitely a step up from the last time we talked.

backdated to pre-event!

[glub]

[ he snaps and sends a photo of a duck plushie. the plushie itself is dressed as some sort of pilot with the little hat and scarf. the only odd thing about this is.... that it's photo'd in the kitchen on top of one of their dining plates. ]

you didnt say what kind of bird you needed for dinner sooooo
i might have improvised lol

[ don't worry, he also did buy some chicken...

just a lot less and they look like the worst parts of the chicken. ]

[withhold]

?

it's cute but we can't eat that. [ ??? ]

[glub]

idk have you tried asking first

he has two arms and two legs yknow

[withhold]

I'll ask him when I'm back but you did get all of the ingredients right?

[glub]
