🌸🌼🌺🌷🌻🌹🌸🌼🌺🌷

Hello, my dear friend! 🤗👋

I just wanted to let you know how much I value our friendship. 🌸💕

You are like a beautiful flower 🌼🌺🌷 in my life, adding colour 🖍and joy 🥳 to each day. 🌤🌨🌜

Thank you for being there for me during the winter 🌨️, spring 🌷, summer ☀️, and fall 🍁. You truly are a friend for all seasons. ❄️🌸☀️🍂

Let's spread kindness like a garden full of beautiful flowers! 🌻🌹

Please pass this ✉️ message ✉️ on to 3 👯‍♀️ special friends 👯‍♀️ who brighten up your world! 🌈👭👬👫 If you don't, you will turn into a bitter gourd 🍆🥒 and no one will want to be your friend. 😢 Send it to people now! My neighbour's eggplant 🍆🍆🍆 also turned into a worm 🐛🐛🐛 because he ignored it! 😱

🌸🌼🌺🌷🌻🌹🌸🌼🌺🌷

2/2

[monoceroscaeli]

Listen, comrade, I don't actually think you're going to turn into a bitter gourd if you don't send this to three people...

It seems more like a sort of prank than anything else. But I've had four people send this to me and I suppose it doesn't really hurt anything. They seem to believe this strange message for some reason...

[glidinglight]

It might be they're acting out of abundance of caution in case it's an actual curse. Usually when people use the 🍆 emoji they're referring to


Actually do you know what they're referring to?

[ Does she need to explain this to you too.... ]

1/?

[monoceroscaeli]

[Thanks to Hu Tao and Yoimiya, he is getting the hang of this emoji thing. He's a smart boy, and he takes a moment to look at her text message, and it doesn't take too long to dawn on him.]

2/?

[monoceroscaeli]

[Oh.]

3/?

[monoceroscaeli]

[Oh no.]

4/?

[monoceroscaeli]

5/?

[monoceroscaeli]

I see.

6/6 DONE

[monoceroscaeli]

I'm not entirely used to this...

Let me guess...the worm part is...

[Welp now he knows how inappropriate it actually is]

[glidinglight]

[ He hasn't come out and said it yet, but she can tell he gets it now. ]

Yeah, it's like that.

[monoceroscaeli]

Ah. Here I thought it had more innocent connotations to it.

...Forget I sent that to you.

[glidinglight]

It's all right! It's funnier than anything else. There's lots of little things like this that seem innocent but have a different meaning.

[monoceroscaeli]

Well, that's a relief to hear.

[He didn't want to be weird towards her. Time to change the subject...]

Knowing that, I'll be a bit more careful from now on. So, comrade, why don't we say we forget about this and have a little spar? I could do with getting things off my mind, haha.

[glidinglight]

I don't mind forgetting about it. But is there something else you need to get your mind off of?

[monoceroscaeli]

Nothing that you need to worry yourself over.

I'm far more interested in keeping my blade sharp, and who knows? Maybe I'll treat you to something afterward and you can tell me how you've been.

[glidinglight]

Yeah? If we're going to be catching up, I wanna hear how things are going for you and Yoimiya.

[monoceroscaeli]

Haha, you must of spoken with her, then. Sure, I'll tell you about that. Why don't you meet me soon so we can get a little exercise in, and we'll talk more afterward.

[glidinglight]

Just that you're dating. She sounds very happy. And I don't see why not.

imo handwave the spar and just move on to continuing their conversation haha

[monoceroscaeli]

[Well, at least he knows Yoimiya is saying nice things! Even if he expected no less.]

Alright, I'll see you soon. Be ready comrade, I've been itching for a good fight.

sounds like a good plan to me

[glidinglight]

[ After their spar, Lumine sits down heavily on the ground. She's sweaty, dirty, maybe a little bloody even. Par for the course, really, when they're both going all-at-it. She rests her elbows on her knees and lets herself just breathe. It would be nice to have some water, but she doesn't feel like getting up to find a fountain right now. ]

Enough of a fight for you?

[monoceroscaeli]

[This guy is as happy he can be, splayed out on the grass besides her as he stares up into the sky. There's never a time where he doesn't enjoy fighting her, himself being a mess of sweat and dirt, sure that there's a good bruise that's going to form on him from where she'd hit him.

Ah, life is good.]

For now, [he laughs, looking up at her from his place on the ground.]

It feels like it's been ages since we last crossed blades. Your skills have improved, comrade.

[glidinglight]

[ She laughs. ]

And here I was afraid I'd gotten rusty. It's been a while since I've had a proper fight.

[monoceroscaeli]

[He returns the laugh with a smile of his own, happily suffering through how much his body aches in the grass.]

Don't worry, your blade is as sharp as ever. Tell me, how have things been since you arrived here? I know your life previous to our summoning here wasn't so bright, but so far being here has been quite enjoyable.

[glidinglight]

Better. A lot better.

[ Even though she still doesn't trust it, or the motivations of the people that have brought them here. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

I'm glad to hear that, comrade.

[He makes a sad attempt to sit up, groaning when his abs feel like they get set on fire just from moving, plopping back down with a laugh.]

When we first met here, I could tell by the look in your eyes that something was amiss. That look seems to of softened, with time. You look more like yourself now more than ever. Seems your problems stem more with boys than with the life you were living previously.

[He shoots her a knowing look- so what if he's been stalking the network and saw Venti being a problem...]
