[shitplan]

you want to put flowers in my hair?
have you ever done that to someone before?

[vermintide]

i would stick them in my father's hair while he was sleeping

[shitplan]

huh
alexei would probably let me do that
but i never tried

i would let you.

[vermintide]

thank you

we can go shopping for them together if you like

[shitplan]

this place has flower shops where the flowers don't make you want to crawl all over the other person?

[vermintide]

oh right

there must be

[shitplan]

i am sure we could find one somewhere.
or just pick flowers
they grow here
i have seen them.

[vermintide]

in the park?

[shitplan]

is there a garden there? i haven't looked.

[vermintide]

there are flowers
you're not supposed to pick them but who would notice

[shitplan]

( oh, she's sure someone would but she also doesn't care. )

good point
they are just flowers
we will be putting them to good use.

[vermintide]

[ this is a good first citation to get. she's excited to be part of this citation. ]

[shitplan]

i can be there when you're ready
so whenever.

[vermintide]

[ On her way, she stops as a cafe and buys them each a cup of rosy black tea. And a cookie for Sebastian. She does not give it to him until they're seated on a park bench, whereupon he nibbles it beside her. Once she notices Yelena approaching, Cleo stands and holds out one of the drinks. ]

Some people don't like coffee. [ The tea tag hanging out the side completes the thought. ]

[shitplan]

Some people don't. I do but I am sure I will like this too.

( she takes the drink and smiles, sipping the tea and sighing. )

This is good. Good choice.

[vermintide]

Coffee next time, then. [ she says with a smile. She would like there to be a next time, whether it's picking flowers or waiting out stuck elevators or whatever else.

She turns down the path, falling into step beside Yelena. Finishing up his crumbs, Sebastian skitters along in tandem, rustling the leafy undersides of the manicured shrubs. ] I don't think there are any poppies or elderberries here, but there should be red and black flowers of some sort.

[shitplan]

I am not that picky about the kinds of flowers we use. I just think I would like them through my hair.

( something different to once again establish all of this as her choice. )

Your hair would look good with lighter colored flowers, I think. Not that I am an expert.

[vermintide]

Then you should pick some for mine. But my hair might be too short to braid. [ She tickles her fingers with the ends of it. ]

[shitplan]

Maybe. But it will grow.

( and lucky cleo, yelena knows how to braid people's hair. she'll do that when it's long enough. )

Come on now, let's go find these flowers. Make a mess of this park that this city has built for some reason.

[vermintide]

[ It will. It does. And then she snips it off in front of the mirror. Maybe she'll let it get a little longer this time. ]

This is Sebastian by the way. [ she gestures with her coffee to the dirt and greenery beside the path they walk. Sebastian pokes his head out and squeaks a greeting. ]

[shitplan]

Oh, hello Sebastian. I didn't even see you there.

( because she hadn't been looking. )

Did he come with you to this place?
