@groznilev asked: “Do they look familiar?” The prince peered at her as he set down the fine china and the tea he prepared for the two of them. “Dedue says they were blossoms from Duscur. Apparently the professor and him have been bonding over planting such seeds. Dedue gave me a pot of one of their sprouts, but perhaps they’d find a better and more attentive owner with you.”

  The flowers of Duscur are difficult to confuse or forget, even if her childhood memories begin to lose their details. She always recalls the floral smell of the fields clearly along with scattered images of her and others running through the landscape. She always remembers how those times made her feel - safe.

  His voice pulls her out of her thoughts. She gives him a soft smile. “ They are. I haven’t seem them for quite a while, though. ”

  Her mind trails off on an unrelated thought - she thinks that she feels the same way now like she did back in those fields even if it’s for a few moments. 

  She giggles. “ It’s a gift; you can’t give it to me. What would Dedue think if he saw that you gave them to me instead ? ” 

  ‘ Bonding over planting ’, huh ?

  “ If you’re so worried about the sprouts, why don’t I help you with them ? ” A frown appears on her face, but it’s exaggerated - a tease. “ If I don’t take them and you end up killing them by mistake, I’ll cry and join another house ... I’m just kidding. ”

  A second smile appears, wider than the first. 

  “ When they bloom, maybe you can sketch them. I think I saw some supplies from a merchant yesterday. I’ll buy the sketch from you, and I’m not kidding this time. ”
