<A> Boys Like Flowers Too, Right ? (Caelia/Isidore)

[A Wandering Esper]

With the pretty green flower given to her mother, Caelia was left to ponder who else she could give flower to. It had made her mother happy, after all, and Augury liked happy people. Happy people were nice indeed.

Some of the flowers were more curious than the others. The one she took from her basket was blue with some black on the petals. It reminded her of... Oh, her brother, yes !

Boys liked flowers too, yes ?

Of course. Who wouldn't like flowers ?

Finding her brother could be a relatively easy task. The first thing she did was stop by his room and knock "Isssiiii~~~" Knock knock knock. "I have a surrrrpriseee~~~" Knock knock knock.

Isi was indeed in his room. He was plotting, he wanted to go back to the grave yard and find out who had hurt the baby grim so bad. He also had it on his list to go on an adventure with his father. He wanted to help him with the souls aaaand he wanted to go to the underworld. So many things to do and it seemed like there was so little time to do it.

The knock on the door brought him out of his thoughts.
"Come in Cae." He called, he was quite used to her and Kyrie's hyperness. The puppy got to its feet and limped across the room to the door. It barked, tail wagging, excited to see who was on the other side.  

[A Wandering Esper]

At least she had waited for the okay to open the door and come inside. That was a learned consideration - always knock first and wait for permission.

"Hi puppy." She paused to pet the grim puppy on his head. It was a cute puppy, but she preferred her birdies... Not that any of them were actually hers, but that was a detail. She liked to pet Infinity's nice black feathers, and the crow seemed to like it as well... As long as she remembered to be gentle. Hopefully the puppy felt better too.

"What are you doing ?" She had forgotten to hide her flower basket, in her curiosity.  

[midnight_medea]

"Thinkin'." Isidore replied, his eyes falling on the basket of flowers. Whaaat were thooose? "What you got there?" He stood up and wandered over to peer at the basket. "Flowers? They're pretty, where did you get them?"  

[A Wandering Esper]

"Daddy went looking for some souls in a forest." Boring stuff, at least to her - but she had gotten to play and explore a bit, so she had not minded as much as she usually did. "Found them."

She watched her brother's curious glances with am amused expression. "Thought they were pretty and people would like them." Pretty things made people happy after all, no ?  

[midnight_medea]

"Oh?" Well that wasn't fair how come he never got to go looking for souls with his dad? He glanced up at his sister and smiled. "They are pretty. Can I have one?" He could add it to his collection.

The puppy, hobbled over to the basket and sniffed it gingerly. It twitched its nose then sneezed rather loudly.

Isidore laughed. "I don't think he likes flowers."  

[A Wandering Esper]

Caelia laughed as well, as the puppy got too curious and sneezed. "Doesn't look like it. Figure he doesn't want a flower !"

Silly puppy. As for her brother, however, she reached out for the flower she had noticed earlier, the one that made her think of him. "D'you want this one ? Thought of you when I saw it." It was his colors, kind of.  

[midnight_medea]

Isi looked the flower over and smiled.
"Yes, I really like that one." He grinned, he liked presents a lot. He liked flowers a lot too, they were pretty and made people happy. "Thank you Siss".  

[A Wandering Esper]

Caelia grinned, and them moved in for a hug. Brother hugs were the best, really !

Sister hugs were awesome too. She would have to go see Kyrie later.

"It looks good with you. We should find a vase with water, though." Something she had just learned from her mother, in fact. "If we put it in water it will stay pretty a lot longer."  

[midnight_medea]

Isi hugged her back tightly. he liked hugs too, they made people happy and there was nothing wrong with that at all.
"Oh?" He thought about that for a moment. "Oh yeah, of course!" The flower would die not, was dying in fact, though maybe water would help it a bit, even if it wasn't for a long time. "Let's go find something in the kitchen."  

[A Wandering Esper]

"We should." Caelia nodded, and was quick to lead the way. The flower's death was inevitable, perhaps, but they could keep it pretty for as long as they could.

Getting to the kitchen was easy, but then there was no one else around, and the glasses were high up in the cupboards.

Caelia knew exactly what she had to do. She was a goddess on a mission and no cupboard or high height would stop her, no sir ! "Keep that for me, kay ?" She handed her basket over to her brother, and once she knew it safe with him, she reached for a chair to push toward the counter.

She could totally reach this !  

[midnight_medea]

Isi watched her and nodded as she handed over the precious basket of flowers. He wasn't entirely sure it was going to be safe but how else were they going to save the flower.

"I'll hold the chair." Yup, that would be helpful. He kept the basket in one hand and reached out with the other to take hold of the chair. "Be careful Cae!"  

[A Wandering Esper]

Caelia nodded - she was always careful, of course ! Or so the little goddess thought. She was no stranger to taking tumbles and falling from and off things, and just because it didn't hurt that badly did not mean she liked to do it.

Especially since she was probably going to land on her brother if she fell from the counter, with how he moved to hold the chair. Hurting herself was one thing - one she could deal with - but hurting her brother was another !

Hoping on the chair was easy, and hopping on the counter from the chair was also easy - one look was spared to make sure there was no boring adult in sight to twart her glorious plan, and then came the more... delicate part of the equation.

The cupboard was opened carefully, and she peeked inside. She needed a glass big enough for Isidore's flower, that could hold plenty of water. Ah, this one would do ! Little hands took it, and now she was faced with getting back down without using her hands to hold herself steady.

This could be problematic. She really did not want to break the glass. The last time she had broken something, she had been in such trouble ! "Isi, can you hold this ?" She sat on the counter and reached down to give the glass to her brother. He could put it in the basket and go back to holding the chair after.  

[midnight_medea]

Isi not only watched his sister but also the doorway, he really didn't want to get into trouble his mother and father were pretty scary when they were angry.
Nope, coast was most definitely clear.

He looked up as she said his name and nodded. First the basket of flowers had to be put down. Then oh so carefully he reached up to take hold of the glass gently. he didn't want to break anything any more than she did.
"Got it." He lifted it down slowly and crouched down to place it gently in the basket.  

[A Wandering Esper]

With the hard part done, Caelia was free to climb her way down, then finally drop from the chair to the floor with not so much as a bump.

Hah. They were totally the best at this.

"There, we have a glass !" Though, slowly, something occurred to her. They had the glass, yes. But something was missing from this carefully thought out equation.

Something like... water to go in the glass for the flower, perhaps ?

"...Uh oh." This could be a problem.
