Petal 09 -- IM/Action
[Jehan is out in his garden today, weeding and planting and basically being a son of Demeter. Not his poisons today, thankfully, but his flowers. Daisies, roses, tulips--all the flowers.]
I'll be making flower crowns for May Day next week, if people are interested! I know it's not really a holiday but after this odd winter, I feel it would be appropriate to celebrate the spring in some way.
[He smiles and goes to cut the rainbow before making a soft "oh" sound and turning back to it, blushing]
Oh, and...Nico, I. I was wondering if you would like to go with me on a trip of sorts. To Venice! Marianne has gone to visit her girlfriend and she said that if I wanted to stop by now that I can she would treat me and a friend to dinner. So...yes. Do you want to go to Venice?

Re: IM
Venice sounds beautiful, by the way. Well done. Nico's a really nice boy. [Knowing grin.]

We're not--it's not a date...

Who said it was a date? Not me. [Totally innocent.]

[From Lydia's tone, she's thinking the answer to that question is no. And even if it was no, it's the sort of topic in which the mouth may say one thing and the heart another.]

[But he's not looking at Lydia and he's blushing. He'd clearly like for Nico to like him like that]

Crushes may go on for a long time, but that doesn't mean that people can't move on from them. Believe me.
I think you underestimate your chances, but what do I know? I'm just the amokinetic daughter of a love goddess. [She lifts her brows.]

[He's blushing a little and smiling]

I think the possibility definitely has greater odds than you think, but I also think Nico needs gentle handling, pardon the pun. I think you ought to use the Italy trip to see if the possibility's viable, but with an open heart, and not just the assumption that he's not into you. He may not be. Or he might be open to possibilities but not realize it. Or he might be totally into you.
[She contemplates offering trying to get a read on Nico's attraction if any for him, but...sometimes things just need to happen organically.]
Honestly Jehan, if it turns out he's not into you, it's his loss; you're awesome.

I didn't even realize I liked him like that until he was talking to Amelia Earhart's ghost and now that I realized it I can't stop wondering if he likes me back. This is absurd.
[He didn't even realize he was over Zane until then]
You really think he likes me?
Re: private filter
[She considers him thoughtfully a moment.] The most important thing you can do for yourself though? Think about what it means if he says he doesn't like you that way. If the possibility that he might is worth the risk to you, then go for it, see what happens. Love is always a gamble, but fifty-fifty is pretty excellent odds.

Merci, Lydia. Wish me luck?
