The Magic Within (Needs Many More....semi lit --- lit)

[JuliaFinalea]

"Oh! I know!" She grins, "After we get my chores done every day, we can meet up here and enjoy a different tea every day! If we run out of teas to try, we can go in search of new ones to try!" This was actually sounded so much fun already! She looks to Luki to see what his reaction to that idea would be. Would it be too boring for him?

Luki Veles

Luki smirked when Iris mentioned her idea of meeting up everyday for tea in the garden, with the purpose to have a different tea every day. It gave some sort of a routine and it wouldn't get too boring, not if there was a small difference every day.
"Sounds good to me." He replied, taking another sip of his tea.
It was something to do and it provided wishes, what wasn't to like?

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris smiles, taking another sip of tea, "It also means we can have different kinds of snacks while having tea, too." She grins, thinking of all the scrumptious delights that await them. She purrs at the thought, then takes another sip of the tea. Sighing happily, she sits there, relaxed. A girl could get used to this.

Luki Veles

Luki nodded when Iris mentioned that different kinds of snacks would also have to be had, though he'd figured it to be a given. After all, what was tea without a few little delights to go with it.
"But of course." He replied, leaning back on his left hand.
The genie blinked when he felt the sensation of something dragging across his hand and looked to it to see what was causing the disturbance. It was a simple little snake, a type common to most gardens.
"Well hello there little one." He cooed as he picked up the small serpent, letting the creature explore his hands for a few moments before settling down.

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris jumps, almost dropping her tea cup, when she spies the snake on Luki's hand. She didn't know why she was afraid of snakes, having never had a bad experience with one before, but she couldn't help but inch away from Luki's hand with the snake. But, at the same time, she was curious of the creature. She never really saw one face to face. Her eyes look to the little creature, curious.

Luki Veles

Luki couldn't help but titter a bit when Iris shied away from the small snake, it was rather amusing to him when humans shied away from harmless things like they were about to get eaten. He could guarantee that this snake wouldn't try to eat her, not like a man-eating rug would.
"It's okay, he's really quite harmless." Luki said to her with a smile, turning to look at her as the snake decided to coil in his hand a bit. "Pretty docile too."
Despite the fact that there was a snake in his hands that he really didn't have much knowledge about aside from it's lack of venom he remained absolutely calm, almost as if he was comfortable with serpents.

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris sets down her cup and crawls over to them both, her curiosity getting the better of her. She took Luki's word that the snake was harmless, giving her more courage to get closer. She shifts a little closer and reaches out a hand, slowly, to touch the snake; curious about how it feels.

Luki Veles

Luki moved his hand, gently narrowing the gap between Iris' hand and the small snake who had risen its little head and began flicking its tongue at her. This was rather normal, a way for snakes to gather information about the things around them.
"She's not gonna hurt you." He said softly to the snake before raising his eyes to look at Iris. "It's okay to touch him, he's just as curious about you as you are about him."

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris pulls back slightly when Luki holds the snake closer to her. After his reassuring words, she closes the space again, reaching out to touch the snake. Her finger gently brushes against the snake. Her eyes widen at how soft and smooth the snake is, "It's...so soft." She smiles.

Luki Veles

Luki smiled when Iris closed the gap between her and the snake, gently brushing it with the tips of her fingers. He nodded at her comment, much like a parent would do when a child made a new discovery alongside them. Somehow, he was enjoying this little interaction, though he couldn't really explain why.

[JuliaFinalea]

Feeling brave enough now, she looks to Luki and smiles, "Do you think it'd be alright...if I hold him?" Who knows when she'll gather enough courage again to do something like this. However, it seems with Luki here, she feels more bold. Feeling stronger.

Luki Veles

Luki smiled when Iris asked about holding the snake.
"It should be fine." He replied, taking her hand with his free one. "Just let him do his own thing."
Luki guided the snake from his hand into Iris' hand, pulling his hands away from her once the snake seemed to have its bearings.

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris became motionless, holding her breath when the snake took it's time slithering from Luki's hand to hers. She gulps slightly, her eyes never leaving the little creature. Before she knew it, Luki pulled his hand away and she stares at the little thing use her hand like it were a play ground. After a few moments, she let herself relax. A bright smile appears back on her face.

[ninjaingaround]

Luki Veles

Luki smirked when the snake decided to slither about in Iris' hand before starting to settle down a bit. This was one docile garden snake, that was certain.
"Looks like you've got a new friend." He commented, the smirk never leaving his face.
It was somehow comforting to know that such a ill-omened creature could be accepted despite the stigma it's species carried.

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris shifts herself to a more comfortable position and watches the snake do as it pleases on her hand. Every now and then, she would trail her finger along it's curled up body, finding it completely fascinating. Normally, she wouldn't go near such things, but today she feels so brave. After all, she was hiding out from her superior today, which she never would have done prior to meeting Luki.
