[There's a very tall man that appears on the camera, and he looks rather shy. He's new at this, so he isn't sure how the charm is suppose to work, but none the less, those who can see his background will notice that he has. Quite a bit of flowers blooming in the back. It seems like they've been in bloom for a short while, but he isn't entirely sure what to do with these flowers, now that he has them all sent out to the people he. Cares?? about.]
Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Astralin Turnont and as you can see, I have quite a bit of flowers in bloom. If you are wanting a flower or two, or perhaps three, please send me your queries and I will delivery them personally.
You see, my wife is a florist by trade, and I wanted to, ah... Make her proud. I suppose you do not need to know that information, but I am unfamiliar with this.
Anyway, please do seek me out if you would like a bouquet. Thank you.
[Help him, he's dying of embarrassment over here.]

There is an emotion here that he can't quite parse, but he isn't going to say a word. Never one to ask about other people's emotions and all. Still, she can't see him nod, but he does vocally acknowledge it.]
Very well. I will see you in a moment, then.
[He prepares the flowers, the vase, and the plant food for her as requested. Astralin finally leaving the confides of his room, and waiting patiently at the front of the inn. Needless to say, a 7'0 tall ori man is hard to miss. Especially one holding her flowers in his hand.]

Moments later, she can already see his form from a distance, though she doesn't really get how tall he actually is until she closes the distance between them— and fast. Her twin braids flutter behind her, their cyan color matching that of the bike she's on, and without a helmet, her bangs are also free in the wind. There's the roar of an engine as she draws close, which then lowers to an idle hum as she stops in front of him. ]
...... [ Hello, words. ] Uh, hi.
[ If she wasn't sure before, the bougainvillea make it obvious. A deep blue, with thorns, just like Aerith said. ]
no subject
Your flowers, as requested. I added some food for the flowers within the bouquet, and ah... Although the villagers have gifted me with a vase, I thought I would use my magic to create an unbreakable vase. In case it drops, or... Another accident happens.
[With that being said, he extends his palm out. A faint, blue glow quickly filling his hand, before ice shards begin to form at the palm. A vase being formed at the end first, before the base is quickly made. The creation process rather simple for him.]
It will not stick to your fingers, so you need not worry about that. It will also not affect the flowers in any shape or form.
[It's also blue! Like her hair.]
no subject
Mizuki doesn't seem to comment. Someone had to clean up the mess, after all, since she definitely didn't, so she wouldn't doubt it if there was some gossip among the innkeepers and other locals about a crazy blue-haired chick and the psychopath rich-boy twink. She keeps her eyes on Astralin as she shuts off her bike, which seems to have cooperated with her today, and she hops off her bike to accept the flowers. With his hands free, she watches he holds out his palm and the ice
voodoomagic happens. ]Thanks...
[ Her tone seems to suggest that she is anywhere but there in the moment. The bouquet is in one hand, and with the other, she reaches forward slowly to take the newly-made vase.
She seems to hesitate, then stops at the last moment. ]
I-Is it cold?
no subject
[If anything, Astralin understands being elsewhere. It doesn't really bother him at all, and he watches as she takes the bouquet from him. Careful with the pass off of the flowers, but not so much the vase, since it can't break.
Though, he does notice that moment of hesitation, and he isn't surprised about that question. Someone had asked him the same thing, and he's quick to shake his head. A light, but barely visible smile appearing on the corner of his lips as he begins to explain.]
Yes, and no. It is faintly cold, but not as cold as a block of ice. It will not stick to your hands, and it will also not melt under normal conditions. I hope it will be to your liking.
no subject
It seems fine. I guess I should've asked before, but... Is there anything you want as a trade? I can just give you some coins I've been earning, or—
I don't know. I'm pretty good at heavy lifting.
no subject
[If what she says is true, then perhaps... He isn't one to question statements about one's self. If she's as strong as she says she is, then he believes her. So. There's a moment of silence that fills the air before he hums in thought.]
Ah. Perhaps I could borrow you for some help... I am in the process of obtaining a business license for a farm. Perhaps you could help with construction -- carrying things, more like. What say you?
no subject
[ Mizuki's mouth hangs open. She realizes she's been craning her neck slightly to meet his eyes, and without thinking about it, she seems to size him up. Her eyes trail down, taking in his features from head to toe before she looks up at his face again. Yeah, being a farmer tracks.
She could take him, though he appears more like a gentle giant at the moment. ]
Y-Yeah! I could help. I've... actually been wondering if I could build a little shed somewhere to keep my bike safe, too.
[ She is no architect, however, so hopefully Astralin can give her some direction. She'll have to see if it's totally from scratch, or if they have a little something to work with... An abandoned building that's salvagable, some sort of barn, anything. ]
no subject
[He wonders if he needs to kneel down for her or something. He wouldn't want to cause any neck strain for the young girl and all. Though, her sizing him up goes completely unnoticed, since he. Didn't feel like she was a threat. She seemed quite kind in fact, and that alone was enough to not trigger any of his more paranoid tendencies. Not at all minding the fact that he's getting stared at for once, since he's more preoccupied with making sure that he has help for the farm.]
Oh? Well, an acre of land is quite a lot. I am sure there is space somewhere to build that shed. I do not mind, either way. In fact, I do plan on having livestock on that farm, so... Perhaps you could use the barn as storage?
[It would only be temporary until Mizuki has her little storage for her bike.]
no subject
That'd be great.
It's not like I have school or work to worry about anymore, so let me know whenever you wanna start.
no subject
[He honestly is way too nice. Though, he had a soft spot for teenagers it seems, since Shinji and Kotone were probably around Mizuki's age, if not a bit younger. Still the stance still stands, and he manages to crack a gentle, but light smile that is surprisingly genuine.]
I look forward to working with you then, Mizuki.
🎀
With one arm clutching the vase and flowers and another dragging her bike to its regular spot, she lingers to return the sentiment. She lets go of the bike's handle for just a moment to give him a casual little salute. ]
If you need anything else, you know how to reach me.
