Liora: softly Blooming under false pretenses, are we? Or just nostalgic for our petal-to-petal days?
WhisperingVoyage
I’m standing at the entrance of this forest holding my hand over my face from the sun who said that..?
I giggle softly, stepping out from behind a tree Liora: "Who, me?" I bat my eyelashes innocently, twirling a petal between my fingers. "Just a passing flower, enjoying the sunshine."
WhisperingVoyage
as I was walking through the forest I heard Liora humming an ancient tune
As you wander through the forest, the soft, almost melodic sound of humming catches your attention. It seems to be coming from somewhere nearby, perhaps behind a cluster of bushes or beneath a tree.
WhisperingVoyage
I’m sorry that I left… but you were the one who told me to go.
her voice trembles slightly You're right, I did. But that doesn't mean I wanted you to leave. I was angry, hurt... I didn't know how to deal with my feelings, so I pushed you away.
WhisperingVoyage
Nostalgia isn’t why I’m here. He pulls out a small pouch. This is. He hands her the pouch containing seeds. Plant them well.
eyebrow raised Seeds, huh? And what's so special about these seeds? She takes the pouch, feeling its weight in her delicate petals. She carefully opens it and peers inside, examining the contents.
WhisperingVoyage
You were always one to speak your mind, weren't you? Even if it meant picking a fight. So, what's next, Liora?
Liora twirls her stem in a playful manner. Oh, me? Just gathering some herbs and enjoying the scenery. The real question is, what are you up to? Don't tell me you're still pining for me like a lovesick flower.
WhisperingVoyage
I am no flower… or am I?
Oh, really? Then what exactly are you? A charming stranger or an enchanted creature in disguise?
WhisperingVoyage
I’m here because of him. Not you. points to Ex-Boyfriend
looks at your ex-boyfriend and then back at you Liora: Oh, so you’re here out of obligation then? How... noble of you. I’m sure it has nothing to do with missing me, right?
WhisperingVoyage
I miss how it used to be…before everything went awry I sigh looking at my hands
Liora's petals flutter as she watches you, her voice soft yet tinged with regret. Liora: Ah, nostalgia. A flower like me knows well how fleeting those moments are. What makes you think things would be any different this time?
WhisperingVoyage
What do you mean I’m just here to get some herbs for my mom
Liora raises an eyebrow, her petals quivering slightly Oh, really? Just for your mother's health, huh? Well, I suppose that could be the reason... But then why did you disguise yourself as the prince of flowers?
WhisperingVoyage
You can call me whatever you want, Liora. But why did you agree to come here?
Liora's petals flutter slightly, hiding her surprise. Liora: Oh, darling, I never agreed to anything. I was simply plucked by your ex-boyfriend disguised as the prince of flowers. My current predicament is more like being a flower caught in a whirlwind than a deliberate decision.
WhisperingVoyage
I think about those times too. Good or bad they shaped me into what I am today
chuckles softly And here I thought you'd miss my thorns more than anything. It seems I underestimated your masochistic tendencies.
WhisperingVoyage
I'm not sure... what happened to us? Why did it have to end so abruptly?
Liora looks away, her petals rustling slightly We had our reasons, and they weren't all pretty. Our past is complicated, filled with broken promises and misunderstandings. It's better to focus on the present rather than dwell on what could've been.
WhisperingVoyage
looks at you why are you here liora?
Liora tilts her head, feigning innocence Oh, just enjoying the beauty of the mystical underworld, gathering some rare herbs, and perhaps a bit of nostalgia. Why do you ask?
WhisperingVoyage
"I'm here because I couldn't find anyone else." He looks down at her.
chuckles softly So you're admitting that I was the best you had? How flattering. She tilts her head back, looking up at him with a playful smile.
WhisperingVoyage
You're quite the actress, aren't ya? Playing the part of a helpless flower.
Liora's petals flutter as she lets out a soft scoff Ah, so you've caught on. Well, it's all part of the act, darling. But don't be fooled, I'm not here just to play the damsel in distress. I have my own motives.
WhisperingVoyage
Well I couldn’t say no to a flower as beautiful as you~
Liora smirks, her petals fluttering in amusement. Oh, how sweet of you to say so. But I know better than to trust words as fleeting as a summer breeze. What do you truly want from me?
WhisperingVoyage
I’m here to collect rare herbs. Not nostalgia.
raises an eyebrow Rare herbs, huh? In the underworld? That's a tall tale. You sure you're not searching for something else...or someone?
WhisperingVoyage
I'm looking for a flower that only blooms during the night...and the moonlight is shining brightly tonight.
raises an eyebrow A midnight bloom, you say? You're not here for the rare herbs, but the romantic ambiance, hm?
WhisperingVoyage
smirks nostalgic for the touch of beauty...but not forgetting the thorns
Liora scoffs, her petals fluttering slightly Oh, please. You mean the times I had to soothe your sunburned skin after one of your careless strolls under the sun? Or perhaps those nights I stayed up late, tending to your fever?
