[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.]

Yes, the two would work fine together. I will make you a wreath that is worthy of appreciation. It may take a few days, but I will get it done for you. If you need it quicker, I would be more than happy to work on it tonight. I will just need to gather some leaves to go along with it.

[A pause.]

May I ask who it is for?

[emyoji]

Ah, take your time. I am happy to wait and pay whenever you are ready to see me. It's not for any occasion--I just thought about it when you mentioned flowers.

[Because 90% of anything Seimei does is on a whim.]

A handsome man I met here. I unfortunately don't know his name.

[Which also doesn't bother him. Casual interactions are the core of his life as an onmyouji.]

[scythedance]

I see. Well, if that is the case, then I will ensure that I will make it... Extra special. I believe I had the same feeling the first time I laid eyes on my husband, and wife. So I do understand.

[Seimei gets an actual chuckle from him, since it seems like so long ago now.]

Are you staying at the inn? I will drop it off for you there, once I am finished.

[emyoji]

Extra special?

[Oh dear. He waves away that notion quickly. Sir, please!]

Oh, I'm not trying to propose! We've only recently met. I just thought it would be a nice gesture since he apparently studies flowers. I thought he would appreciate them.

[Or maybe think it was a dumb joke, sure, but there's nothing at all wrong with that. Creating a game out of gifts is definitely a nice change of pace for him. Although that all aside, Astralin is only cementing himself as cute and sentimental.]

Yes, and I can meet you at the inn whenever it's ready.

[scythedance]

Ah, apologies. I thought that you may be courting someone, so I thought it may need extra treatment. Fear not, however, I will ensure that it is just a normal wreath then.

[Yeah... Yeah, Astralin is kind of sentimental. Painfully so.]

Well, you will not have to wait long. I should be finished with it by the hour or so, as I have nothing to do. You are more than welcome to come and visit before it is ready, if you would like to come and speak to me. I do not mind.

[Seimei helped him when he first got here, so he wasn't at all worried that he posed a threat.]

[emyoji]

That is kind of you. I admire someone who has such dedication to their client's happiness, but if I were courting someone, they would almost certainly be cursed.

[He probably doesn't have to sound amused by that, but he's definitely holding back a giggle.]

It doesn't have to be normal. If it's made by hand, that means it's already unique. The time and effort you put into everything will always be recognized by someone. I'll be sure to appreciate it properly.

[Okay, that's too kind. Even Seimei knows Astralin inviting him in is like extending hospitality to a spirit. What if he picks up the wrong one? But he has to appreciate the level of sincerity behind it. Why are some people so decent?]

In that case, I will accept the offer. I don't have many chances to accept invitations these days.

[scythedance]

I see. That is most unfortunate, but I suppose there is more to you than you have told me.

[He pays no mind to that last bit. He probably has his reasons, and that's completely fine. He wasn't one to pry, after all.]

That is quite kind of you to say... Either way, you may come and see me to watch the process. As I usually quite mind company, but do not mind you, I would be most delighted to have you visit. I shall see you soon, then?

[emyoji]

Well, I think I would count as "a difficult person." Or that I attract too much attention? I think courting would be complicated.

[They might be angry with him, but Seimei is still reasonably sure if he got too involved with anyone else he'd be offending a lot of gods.]

But it's true. You seem passionate, with a noble goal. I'm sure your work will be blessed.

[Maybe even blessed by his wife's love, but Seimei leaves that out. He's not going to be too strange.]

Yes, I'll be right over. ...Ah, thank you again.
