::Closed RP for A and Kurama::

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

After A's encounter with the Invisible Man, A was both proud and worried. L wouldn't like what he'd done, he was sure of it, and Kusuriyuri would be cross that he hadn't thought enough about ripples...

But Kurama, surely Kurama would understand, and so he went to the school greenhouses in search of the Herbology professor, both to regale him with his accomplishments and confide his concerns.

"I'm not quite sure. Some say it eats the bodies, but I haven't studied enough on those to entirely know." He glared at the moss. "I know enough to put it to sleep if I have to. Oh!" He crossed the greenhouse and went to a tiny clear area containing a single flower. It was a tiny white forget-me-not, glowing with its own light.

"This one isn't a dangerous one, but I put it in here on purpose. This is Snowdrop, a very rare flower that only blooms once a decade under natural conditions. It provides protection to one who wears or carries it from little dangers, like poison or attack spells and predators." He smiled, cupping his hand around it lovingly.

"It is a gentle flower, and one I don't like to force. But even so, it is one of my favorites."

"It's beautiful," A said, admiring the small flower. "Do they all bloom at once?" The idea of a patch of them, all lit with the same soft light, in a night-darkened meadow was, well, enchanting.

"I know a place where an entire field of them blooms at once, though it is a long way from here. I could take you there in the summer."

A's gaze grew distant as he imagined it, all those gentle lights, glowing like fireflies. He was sure the actual sight would be far lovelier than what his imagination conjured up.

"I would, I'd love to see that," he said earnestly. "It would be something I would remember."

Kurama smiled softly a moment. "You could take River there, as well."

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

"We could remember it together," he murmured. "And I, I could take her without saying first, without telling her what it would be, and let her see..."

He liked the idea of giving River such a wonderful surprise.

Kurama's smile widened. I'll sholw you where the field is, and you can take her there when they bloom. It shouldn't be too long from now, as long as you ask them nicely." Which he was sure A would. And snowdrops, being flowers that thrived off of feelings of love and affection, would assuredly bloom beautifully.

"Oh, oh, thank you." A's words were deeply heartfelt, and it showed. "Is, is it very far?"

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

Kurama waved off the thanks, though A's gratitude made him smile wider. "You would have to floo there, but it isn't too far. It's outside the village where we got Boukensha and River's kittens."

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

A disliked flooing, but this was certainly a good cause, and it would be well worth it to see River's reaction.

"I would, yes, I would like that very much. It is a wonderful feeling, to show River something beautiful that she would not have seen otherwise."
