Fields of Vesuvia

@arcanaart @fieldsofvesuvia

My piece for the Fields of Vesuvia Gift Exchange, featuring their apprentice, Xavia, and Nadia

Happy Birthday, Nadia!

Nadia smiles over the rim of her glass, watching as Xavia’s face morphs from surprise to elation to confusion, all within a mere moment. She supposed this would be a quiet display of her feelings, a means of telling her that she cared for her as more than a detective, than a...an employee, for lack of a better term.

The bouquet was simpler than Nadia would have liked, but she knew the meanings well, and thought it fit the occasion well. Taking their lunch on the balcony had been a wonderful idea on her part, especially with how lovely the light accentuated the flowers.

Gardenia had been a given, and finding them in white had been no small task, but the florist, as always, delivered. They were lovely, well kept symbols of pure love, and Nadia couldn’t thank them enough. The yellow hibiscuses they were paired with symbolized good fortune and happiness. She couldn’t help but wonder how they managed to get their hands on the birds of paradise, especially keeping them in such good condition, but she was thankful that they managed to add it, considering it meant freedom and joy. She’d have to send them her regards. 

“Oh, my!” She exclaims, accepting the flowers from the servant, who scurries off without another word, “I…” Xavia, clearly at a loss for words, shakes her head and sets the vase on the table, “These are beautiful.” Her index finger, ever so carefully, traces the length of one of the hibiscus petals.

She searches between the flowers for any hint of who might have sent them, and Nadia can only grin behind her teacup, trying and failing to hide her enthusiasm, “Perhaps you have a secret admirer.”

Xavia snorts, disregarding that theory far too quickly, and produces a small, rectangular card, to which she reads aloud, “‘A gift, from a secret admirer’.” She smiles to herself, shaking her head, “I suppose I ought to give you credit where credit is due.” She chuckles, “A secret admirer.” She cradles the card, as if that were really the gift.

Xavia sighs, passing it between her fingers and continues, “It’s probably just Asra.” She slips the card into her pocket regardless, admiring the flowers again, “My master has a knack for surprises.” She looks disappointed, as if the concept of having a secret admirer was really so far-fetched.

Nadia feels her throat fill with cotton, apologies threatening to spill from her lips, and for what, she genuinely doesn’t know. She does, on the other hand, take another sip of tea, smirking as if she wasn’t falling apart from the inside out. “Perhaps it really is a secret admirer.” She shrugs, leaning on the arm rest of the chair, “Do you really think Asra would send you flowers?”

Xavia shrugs, taking her bottom lip between her teeth, “It’s not the strangest thing he’s done.” She smiles fondly, “I love hibiscus, you know?” She plucks one of the stems from the bouquet and sits back in her chair, smiling over to Nadia, “And birds of paradise...the gardenia is…” A wave of confusion crosses her face, and she asks, “You wouldn’t happen to know what they mean, do you?”

“Love.” Nadia says, incapable of keeping the desperation that edges her voice at bay, “Pure love.” She clears her throat, setting her mug on the saucer, “You should put them in your room.” 

Something crosses Xavia’s face, something not unlike familiarity, and for a split moment, Nadia allows herself to believe that, just maybe, she might understand, that she might see through this elaborate means of seducing her, of enticing her.

She doesn’t.

When Xavia stands, taking the bouquet with her, Nadia grabs her knee. When the door shuts behind her, she covers her mouth with the back of her hand, tears threatening to spill.

Words deceived her. She didn’t know how to speak as eloquently as a leader should, didn’t know how to enrapture and enthrall without knowing the other party was as invested as she, and she thought, foolishly, that maybe, just maybe, Xavia would just know that it was her. 

She was a secret admirer, after all. 

Nadia manages to compose herself at a moment’s notice, knowing full well that even though Xavia may not have known she was the sender of the flowers, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t interested. 

She bites her thumb nail, looking over the horizon, and she sighs once more, the gulls taunting her, the wind teasing, the boats in the distance enticing her so. 

She stands, wiping nonexistent wrinkles from her dress, and steps back inside, thanking the guard and asking him to fetch a servant to clean the balcony. It was so easy, having a guard to do as she asked, and she wished she could just say what she wanted, wished it didn’t have to be so convoluted, so...cloak and dagger. 

“Nadia?” Xavia finds in her in the ballroom, and, as Nadia would never admit, she didn’t quite remember coming to the ballroom in the first place. “I thought we were taking our lunch outside?” 

Oh. They hadn’t finished lunch.

“I…” She hesitates, picking at her thumb, “Would you dance with me, Xavia?”

A queer look crosses her face again, but it’s replaced by a smile at a moment’s notice, “Of course.” She curtsies, low and deep, just as Nadia taught her, “My countess.” 

Nadia does little to hide the disgust that crinkles her nose, and Xavia’s laugh pulls her back into a happy mood. She takes the lead, the movements of dance familiar, words not clustering and overcoming and - 

Had her eyes always been so green?

Xavia smiles, the hand in hers squeezing her fingers, and Nadia prays she doesn’t hear the hitch in her breath. They dance, twirling and laughing to music that isn’t there, pulling one another closer, flush against the other. Nadia can’t help but wish that it was always this easy. 

“It was you, wasn’t it?” Xavia asks, as if the pieces were all finally falling into place, and she smiles. 

Nadia doesn’t know what to say.

4 July 2019

For the @fieldsofvesuvia gift exchange I received @arcanaart and got to draw their absolutely lovely apprentice and Nadia! The apprentice’s gown is one from Rayane Bacha “Wishful Wanderer” Spring 2019 Haute Couture Collection while Nadia’s is based on the Spring wedding designs by @frothystars though I couldn’t bring myself to hide Nadia’s hair and had to make the veil somewhat transparent.

I hope you enjoy this piece! I had so much fun drawing Xavia; she’s gorgeous.

[i-am-arcana-trash]

So the amazing @arcanaart did a little drawing of Muriel and Portia with fancy Masquerade sprites (THEY DESERVE TO GET FANCY SPRITES!)

And my brain decided I need Laurel and Muriel in masquerade attire stat!

Look at these beauties! Look at how handsome Muriel is!

They were wonderful through the process and I highly recommend getting a commission from them! ♥️
