((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.))

Briar: *lets go with one hand to cup his cheek, skin as cool and smooth as rose-vines to the touch* ...And you needn't bow to me. I don't want you to grovel, violet.

((*...suddenly wonders if they switch between calling Laramie 'tigerlily' and 'violet' depending on how ferocious/shy he's being in that part of the conversation*))

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

Laramie: *lifts his eyes in spite of himself, trembling and unsure and completely under the Rose King's spell* I... yes, sire, I'll try to remember...

((Seems like something Briar would do. If nothing else, he might want a name to call Laramie all his own before Laramie's given him official permission to call him by his real name.

Also, you realize I may have to write this entire scene pretty much as played in the book proper. *snuggles my dear, darling muse*))

Briar: *smiles at him, eyes warm and welcoming* Good. *leans closer and kisses him on the mouth, the same way he would for anny other of his subjects* You needn't be so formal here.

((So, so much glee. <3 *cuddles back and beams at you* Glad I could help - though god knows what Laramie'll do now. O-o Incorregible Fae!))

Laramie: *stare* *bzuh* *brain shut down now*

((...that about covers it. *flails* Bad Roseking! No breaking the violet!))

Briar: *doesn't notice anything for a second, then blinks and looks at him again* ...Are you all right? *confused*

((Um...oops? In his defence, he claims 'culture clash'... *hides*))

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

Laramie: *opens his mouth to reply* *...shuts it* *...hides under nearest bush*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *startled and completely flummoxed, doubletakes* ...Violet, what is it? *drops to his knees to peer under the bush, utterly lost*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *whimpers apologies and covers his eyes, trembling fretfully*

Felix: *is suddenly and inexplicably at Briar's shoulder* ...what happened?

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: I don't know! *looks over at him, completely lost for words* I told him he didn't need to be so formal or worry about thanking us, that was it... *looks unde rthe bush again, hair drailing in the dirt* Violet, what part of that could have made you want to run?

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *shakes his head mutely - it wasn't any of that-!* *gestures inarticulately, his fingers curling in front of his mouth*

Felix: *looks from one to the other* ...are you sure it wasn't your sterling humility?

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *comes close to flailing at him* No it was not! *drops flat on his front in the grass, peeking in at Laramie. Hand in front of mouth, what- oh!* ...Oh. It's all right, violet, I'm not poisonous... *reassuring, faint smile*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: N- nnh- *closes eyes and retreats again - he doesn't want - that, does he?*

Felix: *bends to peer at them both* What is it, Rosa?

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *is Perplexed again* Well, if it's not that, then I haven't the faintest idea. *it doesn't even occur to him that Laramie could be fretting over the kiss itself - what is there to worry about, after all? A kiss is a kiss is a kiss...*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *is starting to get his voice back* Hhh- wh- what- why-

Felix: *eyes sharpen* My lord, by chance did you kiss him?

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *nonplussed* Yes, why? *is this going somewhere important? Because it's really not the right time if Felix is being kinky...*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Felix: *groans and runs a hand through his hair* I apologize, I should have thought to tell you - humans aren't nearly so free with affection as we are.

Laramie: *closes his eyes, miserable and humiliated* Nnnn...

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *raises an eyebrow* Why in Earth not? *surprised*

*looks back under the bush* *coaxingly, soothing* It's all right, violet, you can come out...

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Felix: *shakes his head* I haven't the faintest idea. I only know that kisses mean things, for humans, the kinds of things you don't give away lightly. *shrugs* It seems awfully lonely to me, but I'm not a human.

Laramie: *pries one eye open and squints skeptically at Briar* ...

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *frustrated* Well, I can't think why. *holds his hand out to Laramie, like one would to a wounded animal* I promise, it's all right. *encouraging smile* I already promised that I wasn't poisonous.

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *hesitant little movement* *soft, breathy little whimper* m'sorry... *one hand makes its way nervously to Briar's, fingertips just shy of touching...*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: Don't be. *firmly* *holds his hand steady, yanking back the urge to take Laramie's hands again and comfort him, since that seems to be what caused the problem in the first place* It's all right, I swear it. I won't hurt you.

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *wide, wide blue eyes* *his hand slips around Briar's and holds, soft and just a little overwarm...*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *squeezes ever so carefully - just a little, just enough to let him know Briar's there* That's it... Come on, tigerlily, out you come. *gentle, coaxing smile*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Laramie: *slowly creeps out, absently clinging to Briar's hand, until his red head pokes out into the sunshine* *squints and blinks*

Re: Flowerverse cuteness.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Briar: *edges back as Laramie emerges, giving him room, then sits back on his heels and smiles at him* Much better. *squeezes his hand again*
