((I was trying to draw HW&HD Fluffmoon, I really was. I even looked up uniforms and everything.

Yet, somehow, I ended up with a tiny drawing of ickle baby Artemis instead, and the idea for Fluffmoon has vanished as though it had never been.

Because little!Artemis is Just That Cute.))

Flowerverse cuteness.

Because you muse at me. ;)

"You're not like any noble I ever imagined," Laramie murmured, then flushed again when Felix turned a grin on him.

"My young lord, I take that as a grand compliment," he stated, and Laramie couldn't help but smile at that.

"Take what?"

The Rose King was there again, standing close at Laramie's side, and the redhead tensed in indecision - should he stand, bow? Groveling was out, it'd just made the fae lord muss his clothes in the dirt, but Laramie was sure he ought to do something, even if Felix seemed to have no such inclinations. "Our guest tells me I don't match his notions of nobility," the daisy-fae was telling his lord jovially. "I'm sure I'm much too handsome, for one thing."

"And humble," was the dry response.

"Oh, yes, certainly humble," Felix laughed. "In contests of humility, my lord Rosa, I stand second only to you."

"Oh, not at all, Erigo. You far surpass me in all aspects of being humble."

Laramie was beginning to get the impression that Felix and the Rose King were teasing each other. He let his gaze flick upwards at Felix, taking in his merry smile, then turned his attention to the fae lord.

He wasn't smiling, but behind the gravity of his expression was a flicker of wry amusement, an echo of Felix's merriment. As if sensing his guest's attention, Lord Rosa glanced downward, meeting Laramie's gaze with a quiet curiosity. "Tigerlily?"

Laramie hastily dropped his eyes. "H-hello, sire."

He'd already said that once today, curse it to the seven hills, but the Rose King didn't seem to mind. "Hello, tigerlily," he replied, and the kindness in his voice made Laramie long for bravery enough to offer him a smile.

*DIES laughing at Felix and Briar - then squees like a lunatic and melts happily* So, so sweet, poor thing... *cuddles and fusses over Laramie*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

Felix: *beams and bows* I'm so glad we can entertain you, my lady.

Laramie: *blushes dully and curls up* *wants to say something besides 'hello', darn it!*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

*giggles and bows back* Always, my lords. ^_^

*skritches him...*

Laramie: *disgruntled noise* *nuzzles under your arm*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*fusses him quietly* You okay, hin? *snuggles and strokes his hair*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *curls up and sighs under the fussing* ...just wish I knew what to say to him.

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Well, 'hello' was a good start... *tries for encouraging* What do you want to say? *snugglefuss*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *leans close and clings* Um... to thank him for letting me in, and being kind to me... and, and not getting Mistress Borage in trouble, and... *flails* There's too much!

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

*lets him cling, stroking his hair and thinking it ovver* In that case, maybe it'd be easier to jusut say one thing every time and not get bowled over trying to say everything at once? That way you shouldn't get tongue-tied. *smiles*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *nods* ...But wouldn't he get annoyed? Me coming up and thanking him for this and that all the time.

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*grins cheerfully at him* Does he seem the type to get annoyed when people say nice things to him?

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *looks confused* Well... no...

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

So why don't you go tell him? Make his day a little bit better and show someone else appreciates him too? :)

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *fidgets* *peers after him* .... *takes a deep breath* Okay. *stands up and creeps slowly towards Briar...*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *is kneeling to talk to a small tribe of Cloverfae, nodding gravely as they chirp at him*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *halts a respectful distance away, fidgeting with the hem of his tunic* ....

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *conversation apparently over, Briar straightens as the Cloverfae wander off as a group and catches sight of Laramie* *smiles warmly, turning to face him* Hello again, Tigerlily.

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *ducks his head, a blush creeping over his cheeks* H-hello, sire... I... um... *gah, tongue no worky! Words not coming!*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

Briar's lip quirks, taking a step forward to stand next to him, head on one side and waiting patiently. One thing at a time, Laramie..!

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *takes a few deep breaths* Ijustwantedtosaythankyou-! *bows slightly - can't help it - and holds still, waiting...*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*...The Rose King's face lights up as he smiles, looking and sounding so very pleasantly surprised* What in earth for? *looks like he's about to clap his hands and bounce up on his toes with delight*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *cringes* *can'tlookathimcan'tlookathimcan'tlookathim...* For - for letting me - and for - *agh, gives up* For your kindness... *lamely*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

*long, pale hands wrap around his, drawing them forward as Briar bends to look him in the face* You have nothing to thank me for.

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *...ohgods* *and every instinct is telling him don't argue with a noble, just say 'yes sire' and have done, but he can't stop his mouth from forming the words* Y-yes I do. Y-you didn't have to let me in, or let Mistress Borage heal me without getting in trouble. You didn't have to let me drink you water. A-and you didn't have to smile at me... *oh damn, that's too much*
