[Day 47]

Who: Roxas and EVERYONE
When: May 17, daytime
Where: Wherever there are people who need flowers. If he knows you feel free to assume he's tracked you down.
Style: I'll match
Status: Open!

It's taken a little time, but now Roxas, too, has fallen victim to the infectiousness of the underwater springtime. There are just so many flowers everywhere! How can he not be cheerful about it?

...and how can he not want to share it with everyone? Normally he moves about the city making no effort to interact with people he doesn't know, but today he seems to have almost the same outgoing nature as the two boys he shares a face with.

Roxas can be found around the city sans coat with an ever-changing collection of flowers in his arms as he gives some away and picks up new ones. There might be someone in particular he intends these flowers for, but he's in no rush to locate him. After all there are so many other people to hand them out to.

Xion's made several trips into the plaza in her exploration of the bubble, usually with a particular type of location she wants to find for future reference. Today though, the bubble seems a bit brighter with the coming of the flowers. She finds it a welcome change from the events of the past months, and Xion eventually ends up forgetting her previous task as she just enjoys the day.

She shouldn't be hard to track down at all, her exploration now a lazy walk in the park.

Oh, the park. The park is an excellent place for flower-picking!

Roxas is walking along one of the paths when he spots Xion some distance ahead through the trees. Picking up his pace, he plucks out a handful of the flowers he's carrying and holds them out to her as he greets her.

"Hey, Xion."

She turns at the sound of her name, and smiles when she sees it's Roxas.

"Hi. It's a nice day to be outside, huh?"

She gestures toward the flowers, "Are those for me?"

"Yeah, it is."

He nods at her second question and extends his hand a little farther. "They're really- brightening the place up. I thought I should spread it around."

She gladly takes the flowers, her smile never faltering-- growing brighter if it's even possible. "Thank you. I think everyone could use some cheering up after all those nightmares a few weeks ago."

She looks around at the multitude of other flora that dominates the park landscape. "They sprang up really quickly, though. Is this just what spring is like here?"

Roxas's smile does grow a bit distant at that, and he nods. He's been trying not to think too much on those nightmares. There were a lot of bad memories there, and he just wants to make new ones.

But his smile soon brightens again as he adjusts the remainder of the flowers he's carrying and looks around. "I dunno. I mean, flowers blooming underwater is pretty unusual to begin with, right?"

"That's true." She seems largely unconcerned with this fact, though. "We'd better enjoy them while they last!"

She notices the large bundle he's carrying, quirking an eyebrow bemusedly. "I'm guessing you were planning on sharing those with more than just me?"

Roxas doesn't seem particularly concerned about it either; everything about an underwater city is bound to be a little unusual.

"Oh, well, yeah. There're a lot of people here. And I have to give a bunch to Axel."

"Of course!"

She pauses for a moment before tucking away the bunch he gave her. Kneeling down, she starts picking some of her own.

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, actually."

"I haven't seen him out much lately. He could probably really use some cheering up." There's a playful note in his voice. If the flowers don't work then he may just have to resort to tickling.

She picks up on his tone, giving a short laugh before smiling again. "Well if you need any help with that let me know. There's no way he can resist both of us with a bunch of flowers!"

Roxas laughs, too. The thought of the two of them accosting Axel with flowers is kind of funny. "There's no reason you can't give him some even if I don't need the help. He's your friend, too, right?"

"Right."

She stands up again, dusting off her coat. "I'll let you get to him first, though. I'd planned on exploring the bubble some today, but..." she holds up her bunches of flowers, "looks like I got a bit distracted."

"You could still explore. There're flowers pretty much all over the place." Meaning you can pick them for people wherever you happen to wander off to. Convenient, isn't it?

"You're right, they're all over the place." Her lips purse lightly in thought, "I wonder if there aren't different kinds growing in different places..."

So far she'd primarily seen pale yellow and blue varieties. Without fail all of them had led her to the park where they were growing in abundance.

Roxas glances around the park. "I think I've seen most of them here." It does seem to be a good place for everything, with sunlight and shady spots and the pond. "Just some are a little harder to find than others."

"I think I might go on a flower hunt instead. I can gather them up and share with whoever I find. Days like today are perfect for being out in the flowers anyway, not some muggy sidestreets."

She turns and looks out over the flowers blanketing the park, before looking back to Roxas and gesturing to the bunch of flowers he gave her.

"Thanks for these, Roxas. Running into you just seems to have made the whole day a little bit better."

"I- I'm glad."

And he really is, somehow. He feels like a much better friend to her right now than one who forgot her.

"Maybe later we can meet up for ice cream."

She would smile if she weren't already smiling. "That sounds great! Bring Axel by, too, it'll be just like old times."

Ditto. "Of course! No way could we leave Axel out." Even if he may be having an allergic reaction.

With plans made, Xion gets ready to wander further into the park.

"I'll see you guys later then. Just let me know when you want to go and I'll meet you."

"You really have to ask when?" He may not remember having ice cream with her in the Organization, but he's sure it must have been like it always was with Axel-- at sunset atop the clocktower.

While Xion meant only to err on the side of caution, she smirks knowingly at his tone. She really is happy that their icecream routine is still in tact after everything, even if the bubble may be lacking said clocktower.

"The usual time, then."

"I'll see you then."

Grinning and waving with the hand not laden with flowers, Roxas turns to continue his search for people to give them to. And Axel specifically.
