[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?

...well, won't deny that.

[He laughs]

Maybe that's why we would never work as a couple, Gabe.

[angeliaforos]

I mean, I don't really have a 'type', per se, but I could never be effete if I tried. I mean - you remember my beard.

[A little laugh, and his hand brushes Jehan's hair again.]

It's hard for me to see myself long term with most people, to be honest.

[There's a little bitterness here, but it's not strong, barely rises to the surface. He's...still kind of confused about what happened to him on Valentine's day.]

[shylyintrepid]

I can see it, but it'll have to be with someone stubborn and patient and who loves you utterly. Someone willing to put up with your...you-ness.

[angeliaforos]

Gonna be real for a second, I didn't know someone could be stubborn and patient.

[A little snort.]

Very few people put up with me for more than five minutes, JP. I'm wholly surprised when they do.

[shylyintrepid]

Patience is just a form of stubbornness. You're just nice about it. And those people are idiots. I've put up with you for years, haven't I?

[angeliaforos]

That's because you're a saint, Jehan.

[shylyintrepid]

Can't be a saint until after I'm dead and I haven't performed any miracles.

[angeliaforos]

It was a compliment, JP.

[shylyintrepid]

I'm being obtuse, Gabriel.
