Unlike many people, it is all the magic here that makes her feel safe and comfortable. Therefore, the sudden exit of so large a part of it in the form of the plothole has left her ill at ease for the past few days for no reason she can quite articulate. Miranda has decided, then, to take a walk through the garden. Perhaps a path no one has ever

Leo likes to think he believes in magic, being the Starboy to Stargirl, of course. He's been mostly keeping to himself in recent days. Today, he decided to perhaps pick some flowers for his favorite girl, though he really has no idea which ones to pick.

Miranda, should she pass him, curtsies shyly.

Which Leo responds to with an awkward bow. "Um, uh... hello."

[topofadmiration]

"Good day," she replies.

[porcupineties]

"Er, can I ask you a question?"

[topofadmiration]

"Yes, sir," she says, surprised.

[porcupineties]

"W-well, I'm picking flowers for a very special girl," says Leo, feeling a little awkward about the whole thing, "what would you reccommend?"

[topofadmiration]

"O!" She smiles brightly. "You are kind. Here, let us look."

[porcupineties]

He smiles gratefully. "Thank you-- er, what's your name?"

[topofadmiration]

"Miranda," she says, already peering thoughtfully at one of the flower beds next to the path.

[porcupineties]

"I'm Leo," he says sheepishly. "What do you think she'd like? She's very colorful."

[topofadmiration]

Brow furrowed in deep thought, she finally bends and breaks off a pink tulip, streaked with white and lighter pink. This she offers to Leo, then turns at once back to her inspection of the flower bed.

[porcupineties]

He smiles. "That's a good one," he tells her, taking the flower and holding it up to the light.

[topofadmiration]

"O, and this!" Miranda has no skills whatsoever in the field of flower arrangement-- she's just picking the most brightly colored ones she can find.

[porcupineties]

Well, that just works for Leo. He's quite certain she'll like it, regardless, but he figures feminine help would be good too.

[topofadmiration]

Miranda continues her search with the occasional cheerful, 'O, this!' or 'This!'. She doesn't know the names of any of the flowers, and several make her sneeze. When she returns to Leo, however, she proudly offers a sizable bouquet, a burst of particolored petals.
