018 - Anniversary. [Action/Voice]

[tionysus]

[Spring has sprung, and that means flowers are in bloom. Myuria is at the lake, and she's taken the time to carefully weave a bouquet out of blue roses and dendrobium, tied neatly together with velvet ribbon. It's a funereal bouquet, which the Morphus use to bind themselves to loved ones in the next stage of life. She's taken it with her to the

[Not that Hisoka's being a creeper or anything, but he's been making excuses to drop by the lake since he stopped speaking to Draco a couple of weeks ago. He wouldn't normally approach Myuria without a reason, but people didn't generally go around dropping flowers into lakes without some kind of meaning behind it. He steps beside her, with care taken to avoid direct eye contact.] Someone left or someone died. Which is it?

[tionysus]

[Well, it's everybody's lake despite Draco's claims otherwise, so having company isn't that much of a big deal. If she's surprised, she doesn't betray it.] He died.

[aphephobic]

[Pfft. If someone drew a line in the sand separating Draco from the rest of Luceti, that line would include this lake. Hisoka respects that.] Plenty of people are dying around here lately. Any chance you feel like elaborating on that?

[tionysus]

[Well maybe Draco should live there. Except not.] He died before I came here.

[Arumat has taken to extending his regular patrols due to the recent murders, and today said patrols have happened to take him out to the lake when he spots a very familiar form there. Not the sort to interrupt things, he'll just stand some distance away to watch what she's doing. He catches sight of just what flowers are in that bouquet and understands the symbolism immediately-- after all, he'd left one of the same bouquets near a fragment of the destroyed Eldarian refugee ship on Aeos. A part of him finds himself wondering if that is for her husband, Crowe, or both.]

[tionysus]

[Oh, that silly Morphus tradition! She's going to be at the lake for a while, watching it float away. Not that it's going much of anywhere, but she doesn't want to miss if something actually happens. Above everything, it's a last ditch effort to get her husband to Luceti.]

[13th_captain]

[Then he'll just stand there quietly, not wanting to bother her. Given that he's not making any effort to conceal himself, it's likely she'll spot him after a little while.]

[tionysus]

[Once she's had enough time, she'll finally say something.] Were you planning on standing there all day?

[hisdarkmark]

[Myuria's being watched from up in a tree by the lake, even if she doesn't know it. Draco's not going to say anything yet, since he's mostly sure this was supposed to be something private and all. A year, huh? That's kind of a long time to be stuck here. He's got a good idea who she's referring to, but he doesn't know the rest of it, what the flowers were for or anything. So, for now, ceiling-cat!Draco is a ceiling cat...er, tree-cat, I guess.]

[tionysus]

[She doesn't know she's being watched, so she might let a few tears slip here and there. Purely accidental, and nothing to do with the last ditch effort to try and get her dead husband to show up in Luceti.]

[hisdarkmark]

[...why. Why did he choose to stay and watch this, this is depressing. He's going to be very quiet though and pull out his wand, flicking it with a silent charm. Here, Myuria, have some flowers popping up around your feet. Probably violets.]

[tionysus]

[Because he's an adorable little brother who cares. Sometimes. The violets surprise her, and for a moment she looks around, trying to see what made them appear. She relaxes when she sees Draco, but she also deflates a little. However, she's playing it cool for now.] Nice way to say hello.

Still waiting...

[Yeah, he knows that feeling all too well.]

[Voice]

[tionysus]

Who are you waiting on?

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

My boyfriend... Richter. They sent him back home in October.

[Voice]

[tionysus]

That's quite some time.
