Multicoloured kindnesses, met by chance, one by one

Who: Yuna and EVERYONE. No CR? No problem, drop on by to make new friends!
When: March 21st, all day
Where: Shinju's Temple
What: Hanami birthday party yayayay

[With a blanket invitation delivered, the only matter of business left is ensuring the temple is set up nicely for a gathering!

The main attraction of the day, of course, being flower-viewing in the temple's courtyard. With light snacks and refreshments lined up at tables inside the building itself and blankets and pillows available to pick up for lounging under the flowering branches, the 'viewing' part of the day should be set. As winds blow lazily through the area, blossoms in an array of colors are occasionally shaken free from the tree, falling in gentle showers to the ground below, creating a serene, relaxing atmosphere. A handful of paper lanterns have been strategically placed around the grounds as well, ensuring that anyone who happens to arrive or stay as the sun sets can still have a good view.

Elsewhere in the temple, the room Yuna uses largely for crafts appears to have spilled over somewhat. There are a few stands set up with origami paper, watercolors and brushes arranged at a table with a few chairs, card stock, glue, colored pencils, stickers, ribbons, and most importantly, there are flowers. There are flowers everywhere. Some arranged tastefully in vases, some dried and pressed and left alongside the other craft supplies, clearly for use in tandem with whatever you feel like making with the other things left out in such a tantalizing way. Go ahead. Make some stuff.

And, while the invitation had been extended to pretty much anyone wanting to drop by, should any of Yuna's friends decide to stay a little longer, she'll let them know of a cozy hot spring bath in one of the back rooms of the temple. Towels will be provided, of course, so why not stay and have a soak to wind the day down with?

The hostess herself will be roaming about the party in high spirits, ready and willing to top up beverages, share a snack, or just have a nice chat. So - kick back! Enjoy the sights!]

It's nothing, forget it.

[ This kid is so polite that she's having a hard time being annoyed by his presence.

Mordred smirks at his question. ]


Something like that, yeah... I'm Saber, Yuna's shinki and the Exemplar at this temple. She didn't give her true name in the invitation so the fact that you know it means you aren't just some random street urchin, right?
myblueskies: (of course!)

Oh you're miss Yuna's shinki! [The one that Yuna had been trying to win a prize for! Romeo's glad to finally get to meet her. He shakes his head though, with a grin.]

I'm Elfnein's shinki. Miss Yuna helps me with training a lot and we play kites together!

Oh hey, you're the kite boy!

[ Mordred does sometimes pay attention when Yuna talks about her other friends. ]

Romero, right?

[ ...Okay, she doesn't pay super close attention. ]
myblueskies: (smiles all round)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2019-01-27 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I'm Romeo! [He doesn't seem to mind the slight mispronunciation.] I don't know your name miss!

[ Mordred reaches out and gently flicks his forehead. ]

I just gave it to you a couple seconds ago. It's Saber.

[ She maintains an easy smile, apparently not too upset that he'd missed her name when she'd given her whole title. Mordred points at the present again. ]

So, Romeo, what treasures have you brought for Yuna?
myblueskies: (smile)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2019-01-31 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! [Saber was a name? It was an interesting one but Romeo was still a little embarrassed that he had missed it.] Sorry Miss Saber. Oh I made her a drawing!

[He unrolls it to show her, it's him and Yuna flying a kite, it looks like a much younger child has drawn it but the effort is clear.]

[ Mordred has been curious about the contents of the paper ever since Romeo walked up so she eagerly watches as he begins to unroll it. What could it be? A valuable painting? A property deed? A treasure map?!

Apparently, those are all reasonable things to assume a child would have...

But no, it isn't what she expected at all. She cocks her head to one side, her expression confused and disappointed. ]


...That's it? Just a drawing?
myblueskies: (I don't understand!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2019-02-03 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Romeo's face fell as he looked at her and looked back at the picture and then back at her.] Do you not think miss Yuna will like it...

[He had tried really hard...]

[personal profile] roundtablerebel 2019-02-08 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd be disappointed if all I got was a drawing.

[ Mordred glances up from the picture, only now noticing Romeo's expression. Crap, maybe she's being a little too harsh? He's a kid after all, and at least he made an effort to bring a present. ]

...But knowing Yuna she's going to love it. She's really into these sentimental sorts of gifts.

[ And that's actually true. While Mordred looks at the paper and sees a simple drawing, Yuna would see a happy memory immortalized. Appreciation for such things is something Mordred is still learning. ]
myblueskies: (sad eyes)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2019-02-09 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... [Maybe he should have got her something better. A picture was quite babyish after all and Yuna wasn't a kid. He should have thought of something nicer.

He doesn't want to disappoint her. Especially not on her birthday.]
Does sentimental mean disappointing?

[He's a bit confused, she thinks it's disappointing but miss Yuna might still like it?]

[personal profile] roundtablerebel 2019-02-14 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? No, it's...

[ It did sound that way didn't it?

Mordred runs her hand over the back of her neck while she tries to figure out how to explain this properly. It takes her a couple of seconds before she thinks she has something. ]


Okay listen, if something has sentimental value it's because there are important feelings, memories or whatever tied to it. But it's worthless to anyone who doesn't share those feelings.

[ Somehow that still doesn't feel like a good enough explanation. A thought suddenly occurs to her and she fishes her phone from her jacket pocket for a little show 'n tell. Mordred lifts it up and indicates a tiny cat charm dangling from the top. ]

See this? It's a cheap phone charm and there are probably thousands just like it but this one is irreplaceable because it was a gift I received from Yuna. Understand?

myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2019-02-14 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! [He nods, he thinks he understands. It's something that's really really special because you're friends but might not look so special to someone who doesn't understand it. He peers at the cat charm, it looks really cute!] I understand miss! So because Miss Yuna gave it to you it's extra extra special. [And because the drawings were about a happy time he and Yuna had shared they would be special too, hopefully.]
