Flowers and...
Permalink Closed

Malcolm had spent two hours at the florist, trying to decide on what sort of flower Bianca would like. He decided he didn't know the bottle red-head as well as he would have liked, and if he had, such decisions would be much easier for him to decide.

He'd kept the money that Ash had given him for the precise reason to actually send her flowers, and it had taken a week of him searching all the flower shops in Rome to try and decide exactly what sort of flowers to send.

In the end, he was defeated, and instead sent her a few dozen roses. As in, when she would arrive home from the pack house that day, she would enter her room to find the entirety of it filled with the barely budded to blooming blossoms of roses in the shade of red. Such an endeavor cost quite a bit more than what Ash had given him, but that had put a scratch on the cost. Hoping she would appreciate such a gesture, Malcolm left the flower shop and made his way to the pack house.

Malcolm beat the delivery boys to the place by approximately three hours. While he waited for everyone else to come home afterwards, as he had no where else to go, for he had a night off for once, he made himself a spot of tea with a dollop of honey to sip on. He settled himself in the kitchen, eyeing the refridgerator that still sat, unused on the back porch. Those viridescent hues slid to the current, still working refridgerator with the black paper over the front. Remembering that such a phenomenon had occurred the very night that Silent and Llidya disappeared, he only just remembered that he still hadn't seen what was underneath the paper.

So Malcolm stood and moved to the refridgerator, and tore off the paper, his verdant gaze widening in utter surprise at what he was seeing. Not a second later he felt a blooming heat crawl up his neck, and he glanced about, laughing a bit nervously. So there was a rather dashing picture of Llidya on the icebox.

Out of respect for Llidya, knowing she would, and most likely was, quite abashed from such a photograph of her in evidence, especially on the pack refridgerator, Malcolm set it to his sights to remove it from the door.

One hour, a crowbar and three bent razorblades later, Malcolm finally understood why Llidya had ordered a new refridgerator.

"What the bloody hell was used to glue this on?"

-Ryver arrived at the house right on time. Or to him it was right on time. Then again when your brain worked through a process of reverse clairvoyant fusion you couldn't help but always know where you would be and when. It was virtually impossible to do otherwise. Opening the door to the eighteen wheeler he took a moment to look at the long drop to the ground. Not being a tall man it was rather a distance. Then giving the driver, aptly named Ted, a little wave he hopped out of the cab of the big truck on which he'd hitched a ride for the bargain price of one rasberry gelato.-

-Of course rasberry gelato was Ted's favorite, a coincidence that Ryver had forseen without realizing it. Things just tended to go smoothly for him in those regards. In many others ways not so much. Lifting a hand he shut the door of and gave two solid knocks on the corrugated metal letting the driver know it was safe to move away then he headed up the long drive to the pack house burdened with several shopping bags.-

-Once inside the house he was not surprised to find his brother in the kitchen, Ryver was after all very rarely surprised by circumstances of that nature. Lifting the heavy laden bags he set them on the counter and let his eyes wash over a breathless Malcolm who seemed to have been playing with a crowbar.-

"We're getting a dog. He should be arriving any day now."

-The statement of fact was so random and cryptic that it was easy to think the boy was crazy if you didn't know him. Of course Malcolm did know him, but even if that weren't the case Ryver would refuse to be bothered about it. As he spoke to his brother he began pulling items out of the bag. Two dog bowls, one for water and one for food. An enormous bag of dog food, treats, toys, and a thick studded leather collar with a tag on it that read Capernicus Einstein Book. Wolf no More.-

"You should have tried a witch. They're much better at that sort of thing." -Ryver shook his head sadly.- "But you men of science are so stubborn. I knew that."

-Sometimes his conversation was so disjointed that it became hard to follow. Suddenly his head snapped up and he made a soft Awwwwing sound.-

"Loke's bringing the dog. Hmmm then it might be more than a few days. Soon though. And others too. How nice."

-Ryver was already busying himself getting the bowls and food put in what he knew would be their proper place. Then he picked up the dog colar and handed it to Malcolm. Setting the heavy thickness of it in his brothers hand.-

"The dogs for you. But I figured we could share him. And don't worry," -Ryvers lips turned up in a smile.- "She likes roses."

With her arms full of this and that wrapped in paper and stuffed into a large paper bag, Bianca kicked open the door of her room. 

When she saw the roses situated around the small space, she promptly turned around and went back into the hallway to look for familiar landmarks that she missed. Because that was clearly not her room. But according to the rest of the house...it was.  Looking off to the side for a moment, Bianca fully expected for someone to pop up and offer an explanation as to what the hell was going on.  And when nothing happened, she slowly went back into her room and took the time to really look around now. Her things were still there, which was good, however there was one giant element that took her by surprise. For one, it was full of roses and Bianca was pretty sure that she didn't leave them there before she left that morning.  No biggie, someone probably made a big mistake and delivered them to the wrong spot.  Yeah, that had to be it.  

Seeing how no one gave her flowers.  

Ever.

Setting the paper bag aside, Bianca managed to edge her way to the center of the room where the largest arrangement sat on the side table. The roses in early bloom looked lovely with the halo of fading daylight behind them she thought. Then promptly gave herself a mental shake.  Chiding herself for turning into a damn romantic Bianca reached inside and plucked the small card from within the thorny stems. Noting with interest that the thorns have been shorn off. Quality, nice.  Careful so not to rip the paper envelope (in case the flowers weren't for her, which they most likely weren't) Bianca opened the little thing that held the card and tapped the bit of tissue paper out onto her hand. 

It took her three times to read the two short lines of text. Three times for the words to sink into her brain and make that place their home.  Well holly shit, the flowers were for her!  Not just the one arrangement but all of them. Now she took a second look the sheer amount of the flora hitting home.  Holly crap on toast! The man was insane. And if the grin that bloomed on her face was any indication, Bianca liked insane.  Leaning towards a flower nearest her, Bianca took a deep breath, letting the sweet perfume fill her lungs. Well damn, the boyscout did good.

Plucking one of the larger buds Bianca brought it to her lips. In a soft exhale she sent a tiny of spark of Will into the center of the flower, and with a twitch it bloomed to life, opening right there in the palm of her hand.  Smiling, she tucked the flower behind her ear, checking the reflection in the mirror before she headed off in search of the good Doctor. Well, maybe not right away, first she had to get him a little something too.  Like smelling salts...
