(( Well here's a fresh new face on the network. He smiles brightly and waves at the camera as if addressing good friends he hasn't seen in a while. The same hand that waved, cards through his messy dark hair more out of habit than anything else. ))

Hiii~ My name's Will. You can probably guess I'm new here. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this and sorry for being repetitive. I'm looking for someone: a cute fellow Fae with striking blond curls. If you've seen him, could you please let me know? If not, I'll just have to search elsewhere!

Thanks in advance!

(( Another wave, some finger guns, and he cuts the feed. ))

(( The mirth leaves his face entirely, a physical shadow seeming to cross it. ))

The Fae have not treated either of us well.

[thescorpionking]

Then I extend my offer of protection to you as well. Should the Fae who pursue either of you arrive, I will see to them.

[floralias]

Save it for Riley. They won't be coming after me.

[thescorpionking]

If you're sure. I just want both of you to feel safe.

[floralias]

I was kicked out of the Court. They're not clamoring to have me back. If that ever changes, I will happily accept your offer, Xie.

[thescorpionking]

I'm sorry you were treated so terribly. {Rejection hurts no matter the circumstances.} I can't say my opinion of them has or will ever improve.

[floralias]

I can't say I blame you.

(( Their general low opinion of humans earned them this attitude. none to blame but themselves if humans hate them. ))

[thescorpionking]

Do you like sweets too? {Just something to remember when they meet in person.}

[floralias]

(( He can't help the little smirk that curls one corner of his lips. ))

I like them very much.

[thescorpionking]

I will be prepared. {He isn't a bad cook/baker.} A-Ley likes my flower cakes.

[floralias]

Flower cakes? Tell me more!

[thescorpionking]

There are edible flowers that can be baked into pretty cakes. The blooms are sweet and they give the cakes color.

[floralias]

Oh, that sounds absolutely divine! If there are two things I love, they are cakes and flowers.

[thescorpionking]

Then I will make some for tomorrow. They pair wonderfully with tea.

[floralias]

(( Can you see him tittering, Xie? ))

You're so very kind! I'll spend tonight dreaming of it!

[thescorpionking]

I won't disappoint you.
