Cherry Blossoms are Pretty!

[Abandoned are the heavy royal robes she usually wears in favor of this much more lightweight spring kimono covered in colorful butterflies. In her hair she wears the peach flower clips Elder gave her in amongst several butterfly pins that match her outfit. Ok, so the peach flower clips weren’t really cherry blossoms… but they were close!

That's a very generous offer, Lady Aska.

[Especially when everyone could probably use a lovely festival.]

Did you prepare all of that yourself?

… Does it make it less special if we didn’t…??

Because our last attempt at cooking didn’t go so well…

[laughswithfan]

It’s really more edible because we had someone else cook it for us! But, we did tell them what we would like to have.

[axeofoath]

Oh, ah--No, don't worry. It isn't any less special at all, I assure you!

[Although it truly would be impressive if she had, it's still very special.]

I'm certain you'll get better with practice. In any case, it looks like a wonderful setup.

We found the best spot there is! [Totally bragging. ]

Are you going to come and watch the flowers with us? They really are much prettier up close.

Then it would be a shame to let all of your efforts be missed. I would certainly love to attend.

[laughswithfan]

Good! We will make sure to save you a few peach dumplings…

We keep eating them all.

[axeofoath]

Th-thank you, Lady Aska! In return, perhaps I should bring something for you.

[Something that isn't a sweet!]

[laughswithfan]

You don’t have to bring anything…

[TRYING not to be greedy… and failing a little. ]

But we do wonder what it would be!

[It's a good thing Gremio feels that bringing gifts is a part of good manners!]

Oh, don't worry. It's only right after you put so much work into setting up an entire festival for everyone. I'm afraid I can't make anything quite as elaborate as what you have, but I'll try my best!

[laughswithfan]

If you want to!

[So excited over this you have no idea! Kids are so easy to please. ]

We will be waiting for you, Gremio. Oh and…

[Here, more detailed instructions for just where in Xanadu her picnic is. ]

Don’t forget to bring a camera! It’s fun to take pictures of the Cherry Blossoms.

[axeofoath]

[He smiles! Kids are so worrying but also so wonderful.]

Oh, thank you! This will certainly help.

[However, he still thinks of his device as being "magic"...]

A...a camera? Ah, perhaps a painter...

[laughswithfan]

A camera is like a fast painter.

[Said with authority while holding her little pink camera up to the… er… camera of the Network Device. ]

You don’t know what these are either? We were given this as a present during Christmas!

video;

[axeofoath]

That little item? I-I see...

[Really, he doesn't understand at all.]

How quickly does it paint?

video;

[laughswithfan]

As soon as we press the button! And then we have to take the camera to the… We forget what it was called… but then they will develop the picture for us!

[not the best source of information this one… ]

But, you don’t have to sit still for very long at all! That is the part we like the best.

Well, I suppose it is convenient to have them ready so quickly--but it sounds quite impressive. Does it work by magic?
