[OOC: How this works? Post a thread - or I'll post one if we have plans - and specify in the subject who you want and when/where. Flower-induced shenanigans will ensue.]

A world of grief and pain:
Flowers bloom;
Even then ...

We humans--
squirming around
among the blossoming flowers.

In this world
we walk on the roof of hell,
gazing at flowers.

[He does, but she keeps it quick.]

I was going to slip this in your locker, but. Don't read it here, and don't tell anyone. Okay?

[She giggles, then dashes off.]

[When he reads the note, it will say 'Eridan - meet me by the pond at sunset. Just you, no one else. I'll be waiting~ <3']

SEVERAL HOURS LATER....

[wweh]

[Eridan got a chance to read the note. It's almost time so he hurries down to the park to see Fef. He did promise a date, after all. He's almost out of breath as he makes it to the pond, hoping he wasn't late.]

[cullscuttlefish]

[As promised, she's there and waiting, sitting by the water with her shoes off, letting the fish in the pond nibble at her toes. There's a basket next to her, with flowers - one milkweed, just to get rid of any other pesky effects. She's already had to sniff it a few times, just to be sure.

The second? She doesn't really need them, since she's wearing a rose in her hair, but she has them anyway. She turns at the sound of those running footsteps, smiling and waving.]

[wweh]

Ah there you are, Fef! I was worryin' I was late.

[He's not over the effects of the Mint just yet. So he'll put on the schmooz some more.]

You're lookin' rather beautiful. Well, almost as beautiful as me but who's countin' really.

[cullscuttlefish]

[She blushes a little, but then hands over a flower of that milkweed.] I appreciate the comment, but I think you need to clear your head a little...

[Said as she pats the spot next to her. That's a hint.]

[wweh]

[Eridan plops down next to her and wraps his arm around her shoulder. He takes a whiff of the milkweed flower as per Fef's request. cue BLUH reaction to the horrible smell. Cue Eridan returning to normal... for now.]

What the glubbin' hell was that for? Givin me foul smellin' flowers all over the place....

[cullscuttlefish]

That was to make sure your thinkpan was on straight. It undoes any effect that you don't want to happen or you got by accident.

[And then she passes over a rose.]

That one's better, I think...

[wweh]

[Well, that makes things a ton better. The rose pollen snaps him out of his complaining... and causes him to wrap his fingers with Feferi's.]

You know how to win my heart, Fef....

[cullscuttlefish]

[She moves that hand to wrap around her waist, then moves in close, putting her head on his shoulder.]

I could stay like this forever. I really could.

[wweh]

[He really feels the same, and would regardless, with or without the rose. He'll rest his head on hers, feeling more comfortable than ever.]

I hope it will... I don't think I've ever been happier than I am now...

[cullscuttlefish]

I don't think I have, either. [Though she's a little chilly. She's just going to borrow a draping bit of his cape and wrap it around her. There. Perfect.] Like it should have been all along, really...
