SITUATION POST: JULY 21, 2013 (APHRODISIA)

[greekchorus]

[Today, a single rose has been placed at the feet of the statue of Aphrodite in accordance with the laws for celebrating Aphrodisia.

When you ate your breakfast this morning, you might have noticed it was delicious, even better than usual. Maybe the nymphs and harpies took extra care, or maybe there was a little Love Potion No. 9 in it.

Who knows?

OOC INFORMATION ABOUT THIS EVENT CAN BE FOUND HERE.]

[Um. Okay.

Jehan, unable to think, returns the kiss for a moment before pulling away. He's a furious red now, and his face is hot. He's also a little confused.]

C-Courf...?

[dandylicious]

[He pulls away a little farther now, dropping that hand that was at Jehan's hair.]

Sorry... We should go pick those flowers now.

[shylyintrepid]

U-um. Yeah. Maybe. That's...yeah, a good idea.

[He's not moving though. Courf is just too attractive. It feels like he can't]

[dandylicious]

[He squeezes Jehan's hand a little before attempting to tug him along.]

By your cabin, right? That's where the best ones are?

[shylyintrepid]

Y-yeah. We tend to them. Roses and lilies and daisies and all sorts of flowers.

[He follows. So red. So flustered. What is happening?]

[dandylicious]

[He leads the way to Demeter's cabin, letting go of Jehan's hand only when they're near the flowers.]

I will follow your lead now.

[shylyintrepid]

[Jehan nods]

Okay...lilies aren't good for this, not really...roses?

[dandylicious]

Roses are nice... Something that brings out my eyes, I think, as far as colors go.

[shylyintrepid]

What color are they?

[He turns to look at Courf, blushing again. Dammit!]

[dandylicious]

[Sorry, he really couldn't help himself. He grins and leans a little closer so Jehan can get a good look at his eyes: Dark brown with hints of amber.]

Brown. Though, I'm wounded you didn't already know.

[shylyintrepid]

[Mental keysmashing! Jehan stammers, unable to look Rey in the eye]

I--I've never noticed before...!

[dandylicious]

[He frowns a little.]

That's probably because you won't look me in the eye.

[shylyintrepid]

N-no! I just...never noticed before.

[He tries to look up but just ends up biting his lip and glancing away after a second or two, shy around one of his best friends for some inexplicable reason]

[dandylicious]

[He just grins, laughing a little.]

Well, as long as you noticed now, I'll be happy with it.

[shylyintrepid]

I did. [And before he can stop himself:] They're a very pretty brown.

[dandylicious]

[That gets a brighter smile and a kiss on the cheek.]

Thanks~

[shylyintrepid]

[More mental keysmashing! Jehan fumbles for words before gesturing to the flowers. He's not looking at them, though]

S-so, what flowers do you want...?

[dandylicious]

The roses, since my mom likes them so much.]

[shylyintrepid]

Okay!

[Jehan hurries off to get some good ones, as well as a few daisies for color variety]

Here or back at the tree or...?

[dandylicious]

[Courfeyrac grins and shrugs.]

Either is fine, I'm not picky.

[shylyintrepid]

I think I left my notebook there...let's go back.

[dandylicious]

Yeah, don't want you losing that! By the tree it is!

[shylyintrepid]

[Jehan smiles and takes Courf's hand before heading bac. He feels like a little boy with his first crush for some reason]

[dandylicious]

[Oh! They're doing the hand holding thing again. Okay. He threads his fingers with Jehan's and follows him back to the tree.]
