Maple: Pick some to give to Erybelle later.
From Create Your Own Story
You figure it won't take you too long to pick some of the flowers for Erybelle. You know she loves them and hopefully giving her some will help cheer her up.
Crouching among the flowers and long grass you look over the flowers approvingly. There's a wide variety of flowers all with different meanings. Aloe for grief, acacia for secret love, buttercup for riches, borage for courage, primrose for eternal love, white poppies for consolation and dreams and peace, white carnations for innocence and pure love, and different coloured tulips for different types of love. White for one sided love, red for undying love, purple for eternal love, and yellow for hopeless love. There's a whole flower language for sending messages encoded in bouquets that you've tried to teach to Erybelle countless times, but she's never seemed very interested.
Thoughtlessly you pick out a few flowers, some buttercups, some tulips, an acacia, and a single white carnation. Content with your flower choice, you stand and begin to walk leisurely down the path, letting the unease slowly ebb out of your stiff limbs. A wagon passes suddenly and you jump off the path to avoid getting run over, dropping your white carnation. The wagon wheel passes right over it, tearing the delicate petals and crushing the stem to a pulp. You stare at the remains in horror. What was once a beautiful flower symbolizing innocence and love was now in ruins and there was nothing to be done about it. You feel tears welling up at the back of your eyes and you quickly push them back down. It's stupid to cry over a flower, you tell yourself sternly.
Sticking up your chin and gritting your teeth you walk back to the main village, your basket and flowers clutched close. After walking for a few more minutes you start to hear voices and smell smoke. You also think you hear Erybelle cry out and panic floods through your mind. all the unease that you'd previously flushed from your system was suddenly back tenfold and all that matters is that you have to get back to the booth. You have to make sure Erybelle's alright.
What will you do now?
