(Private)Three Seasons and Coffee

[Seraphina]

Garden Grounds had closed for the night, but not for the Lost of the Freehold. Tonight Sasha wanted to meet with her and Rhodes, so the door was unlocked.

Gone were the fall décor, replaced with more whites, reds and pinks. Valentines Day was coming up! And while she didn’t like the cheesy traditional decorations some used, hers were more subtitle and elegant. There were red, white and even purple roses in various arrangements. On the tables were square holders with water and roses resting on top. She couldn’t help it, she loved the smell of roses.

The Nix herself was wearing a pink wrap suede skirt and white fitted shirt. Her long hair was down in effortless waves around her shoulders. Her hedgespun necklace resting around her neck.

She was absently humming to herself as she sat at a table looking through what appeared to be plans of some kind.

The bell rings and a sweeping breeze moves through the tables of Garden Grounds, tickling Sera's legs with it's icy chill and sending her mantle's blossoms twirling. "Well look at you," a familiar voice comes from behind. "You just seem to exude Spring, no matter what the season."

The Autumn King sweeps into the coffee house, smiling broadly. He moves quickly over to Sera, wrapping his arms around her and pausing for a moment of anticipation before kissing her soft lips. "I made you a little something..." the Flowering offers, looking around, "But I fear you may have enough flowers for now, hmm? I didn't realise you would be redecorating so early." The head of flowers are clearly his own, along a long woody stem and wrapped in a cone paper to protect them.

[Rhodes]

Dammit - they look like this.

[Seraphina]

At the sound of the bell, she turns towards the door as a chill raced down her spine. Smiling, “Why thank you.” She tried.

Her own smile widens as he wrapped his arms around her, and her own going around him. When his lips left hers, a smile returned, “Hmmm.” She hums softly. “Made me something?” as he looked around, she laughs, “Never enough flowers. Usually I wouldn’t, but it was an excuse to buy some new ones.” Eyes widen as she sees the flowers, “They’re beautiful! More beautiful than anything I could decorate this place with.” She marveled softly. “This is so sweet, thank you!” she cradles the flowers gently while giving him a kiss.

Hearing the door open, she pulls away with a slight pout.

But it was very brief as a wide smile appears, “Sasha! Come in!” she motions her closer. “I always enjoy hanging out with you. And you guys can sit anywhere.” She replies, “Did you guys want some coffee or tea?” she asks, using her free hand to put her paperwork away. Moving towards the counter, she finds something to put the flowers in. “I have fresh pots of everything, and pastries if you wish.”

[Rhodes]

Rhodes sighs a little, smiling as Sera pulls away.

He turns to face the door. "Sasha! So good to see you!" the Flowering says cheerfully. "Surely it would be nicer to sit all together?" He looks between the two ladies before pulling a chair out for Sasha at a table, and one for Sera.

"Oh, yes. Coffee would be wonderful. If you have everything on, what would you recommend?"

[Seraphina]

Looking to Rhodes, “Of course it would!” she replies with a smile.

Glancing at the various machines, “Lets see, I have regular coffee, and a few specialty ones. We have Cupid’s Kiss, which is Swiss Chocolate with undertones caramel and pecans. There is Bourbon Truffle, which is flavored like Kentucky Bourbon and truffle. Some Kozy Fire, which is almond and cinnamon flavored. And finally, White Chocolate Covered Cherries, which is just what it sounds like.” Then looking to Rhodes, “I personally like Cupid’s Kiss, it isn’t too sweet, but has a nice flavor.” It had been a popular one with Valentines Day coming up.

Beaming to Sasha, “Aren’t they?! Think they’re quickly becoming my favorite flower.” Replies the Nix with a knowing smile.

A shake of her head, “No trouble at all!” her hands already getting cups ready, pulling down glitter. “Thank you for the offer, but I got it.” Hands busy as she moves back and forth. “I did! I have some Valentine’s themed ones, and some regular ones. I can put a few of each on a plate!”

[Rhodes]

Rhodes chuckles at Sera's suggestion "Of course you do... Alright, I'll try that one," referring to Cupid's kiss.

The Flowering's eyes flick between the two beautiful ladies, his face a mask of nonchalance, though a eyebrow twitches and his eyes sparkle knowingly.
Should have got here earlier... still, I suppose it couldn't be secret forever. He removes the thunderstorm coat revealing his usual suit and shirt, no tie, and waits for Sasha to sit at the table.

He looks at the Winter Queen, his Mantle rippling out a cool breeze across the table that lost it's chill in Sasha's own.
"So soon the season is halfway done," The Fairest says with a smile. "I am sorry we didn't see more of you at the Coronation, but we wanted to stay out of your way with so many offical acknowledgements to make. You seemed to have had something of a horde of new arrivals to watch over."
