(( When the feed switches on there's a very giddy Fae on the screen. He's sitting on his couch, guitar in hand and cat in frame beside him. He pushes a hand through his dark hair to get it out of his eyes and grins at the camera. ))

This place has a neat way of getting things to us. First, all my precious pets were returned and now this.

(( He holds up the guitar, just beaming to have it back. ))

So I thought I'd celebrate by giving you all a song from my world. It doesn't have any particular meaning, I just like it.

(( He looks down and strums the guitar before his expression changes and he goes ahead with playing and singing for you all. ))

(( What a cute pink! ))

Thank you! Are you a musician, too?

(( Is that a note of hopefulness in his voice? Why, yes, yes it is. ))

[pinkblinded]

I don't know if I'd call myself one. But I do enjoy singing and learning to play instruments a great deal.

[And he's very good at it. He's just also very humble.]

[floralias]

Then you're a musician!

(( Will nods decisively. He will not be taking questions or criticism at this time, thanks. ))

[pinkblinded]

[His cheeks color a little and he bows his head.]

I'm more of a gardener really...

[floralias]

(( He perks up, eyes brightening! ))

Really? Me too!

[pinkblinded]

[Don't mind the way Gaura can't hide that bit of excitement in his eyes.]

You are? Have you been to Harmony Garden? It's my nursery.

[floralias]

Not yet! I've only been here a few weeks and my folk are just getting settled in our new home.

[pinkblinded]

You should come visit. I have a wide range of plants there. Of all kinds. I welcome people to come by even if they're not here to buy anything just so they can find some peace here.

[floralias]

(( He's actually wiggling in his seat. And that annoys the cat, who casts him a baleful look then hops off the couch. ))

Can I come by today? I would love to see it!

[pinkblinded]

Of course! I'm Gaura, by the way. It would be wonderful to have.

[Yes, he's named after the flower.]

[floralias]

Did you pick that name or was it given to you?

(( He likes it regardless. But he'll like it even more if Gaura picked it for himself. ))

I'm Will.

[pinkblinded]

[He actually loves that question and he smiles so brightly.]

I picked it. It's my favorite flower.

It's so nice to meet you, Will. [A pause and then he remembers...]

Oh when you get here please let me know that it's you. I have a condition called face blindness so I'm not able to remember or recognize faces around me. But I'd like to be able to recognize you and an announcement will help.

[floralias]

(( And Will loves that answer! He practically wiggles in excitement where he sits. But then he sobers a little when Gaura explains his condition. He nods before his smile returns. ))

I'll send you a message when I get close, okay?

[pinkblinded]

Thank you. I'd love that. I look forward to seeing you soon, Will.
