    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    Summer was a busy time for Sera, the shop was usually packed all throughout the day and evening.

    But this evening, she had closed a couple hours early, relishing in the quite time to restock and get paperwork done. Though the Lost of Sacramento would know the door would always be open for them, despite the sign on the door. If the lights were on, they were always welcome.

    Through the window one would see Sera, sitting at a table, coffee in one hand, piece of paper in the other. She hated paperwork and was seriously debating hiring an accountant.

    Cassandra is a little nervous. Sometimes things feel awkward when you've been gone and suddenly come back. She even managed to miss a coronation. Well, the coronation in Sacramento anyway. Then again, could things with Seraphina ever really feel awkward? She supposes she'll find out.

    The Polychromatic shows up in a floral, green wrap dress with a pair of dark green flats to match. Her waist-length, scarlet hair is in a simple braid down her back, a few whisps of hair out of it to frame her face.


    The Garden Grounds is always such a welcoming sight, it almost puts her at ease just standing in front of it. Right. I'm home in Sacramento.


    She steps inside and smiles genuinely seeing Sera who looked to be busy with some work. Cassandra almost doesn't want to interrupt her, but she says, "Hello!" in a sing-songy voice.

    Treasured Nix

    Hearing the bell, a soft sound, but one she was attuned to, she looks up, not sure who to expect.
    But it was not the radiant Winter Cassandra!

    Sapphires widen and light up, paper and cup put down as she stands, “Cassandra! Oh my god, it’s soo good to see you!” it was hard to miss the happiness in the Nix’s voice, long legs bringing over to the Polychromatic redhead. Arms were held open, inviting and offering a hug, but not pushing it. Her and Cassandra weren’t all that close, but she was just so happy to see her back!

    The Treasured was wearing a light blue wrap skirt with a white sleeveless top that hinted at gilded skin on her stomach. The green in her long hair catching the light, scaled ears poking out of her hair.

    “Are you back? When did you get back?” then stopping, laughing, “Sorry, got a bit excited there! Want some tea and to sit?” she gestures to the tables.

    Cassandra certainly wasn't expecting the response she got, but it fills her with the joy seeing that she's been missed. Normally, she isn't very much of a huggy person. Touch used to send her for a fright. Now, things just feel different. She feels different. So, she seizes the opportunity for the hug, opening her arms and giving Sera a squeeze. "It's great to see you too!"

    "Yes, I just got back from Baltimore. I'm sorry I left so suddenly. One of my friends passed away and I went back for her funeral." For now, she leaves out the full importance of the person. "I am here to stay though." She takes a moment to step back and look around, taking in the surroundings. Lately, it feels as though she's been doing more and more of that, taking in the world around her and trying not to miss a single bit of it. Knowledge of your own mortality will do that to you.


    "Actually, some tea would be really nice, thank you." Lately, she has been drinking more coffee than tea, given John's absence. Perhaps it is just her way of trying to keep his scent around. But today, tea will do.

    Treasured Nix

    The squeeze was returned, “You’ve been missed!” which was the truth. While she knew she missed the Winter, she knew her own Court had to be missing her dearly as well.

    Hearing that a friend had passed, the Nix frowns, “Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that! How are you doing?” because making sure the Winter was ok was important. “Losing a friend is difficult, if you ever need to talk, I’m here.” She had lost a friend, not to death, but it was still a sore spot for her. “Friends are so precious.” Especially in their world. “But I’m glad you’re here to stay! Sacramento just didn’t feel the same without you.” Seemed the Treasured had grown quite fond of her.

    Cassandra would see a lot of bright summer flower arrangements around the business. Some were in decorative vases, and some were in simple glass jars on tables. A variety of wild flowers that could be found around Sacramento, and even a few fresh herbs and whatnot. The wisteria had recently been changed out, so what was hanging from the ceiling was fresh and fragrant. Though Sera’s Mantle overtook whatever scent the fresh flowers would have. The double French doors stood open, letting in a warm evening breeze.

    “Coming right up.” Walking towards the counter, “We can sit outside if you wish, there is a koi pond and sometimes the sound of the water can be soothing. Or in here.” A happy shrug, she was ok with whatever. Thing with a coffee shop, is you had hot water on demand, and after pouring it into a clear glass pot, she checks the temp with a long thermometer. There was a nod as she saw the temp, and arranged some fresh herbs and flowers into the steeper then into the water. Cups and various treats were then arranged on a tray and she brings them to wherever Cassandra had decided to sit.

    The tray placed on a table, a cup placed in front of Cassandra, a timer placed down as she sits as well. "Should only take a few moments." but she was sure the Winter knew that. "Aside from the unfortunate reason for your travel, was the travel itself uneventful?"

    How am I doing? That's a heck of a question, one she's been trying not to put much thought into. But now that it's been asked... Her breath catches a little, as if she'd lost it, and she goes a little stiff, "I'm..." She starts, but it is hard to get it out. "I'm not okay." There. It's out there. Something about saying it is both relieving and devastating at the same time. It's something she isn't sure she'll ever fully heal from. And then there's everything her death has caused in complication on top of it.

    She lets out a breath, takes another breath in, trying to steady herself, and then lets it out once more. "I don't know that I'll ever fully be okay, but I'm living and I'm blessed to have people in my life that care." With that, she tries to smile a little. She didn't realize that Sera cared as much as she did about her and that brings about a different set of complicated feelings, just given how up and down her own feelings have been. But then, when it comes to the Treasured Nix, it's near impossible to dislike her. At least, that she's found.


    Even though the inside of the Garden Grounds is beautiful with its perfect flower arrangements that mesh perfectly with the vibe and the summer season, sitting outside would be nice, given the slightly cooling temperatures. It would also give her some room to keep breathing and not be as overwhelmed with all of the beautiful floral scents. Though, with Sera, the floral scents will always be dominant. Not that that is a bad thing. "Outside would be nice. Could always use more fresh air." Especially right now.


    She sets herself down at a table nearest the koi pond. It reminds her of the Koi in Maymont's Japanese Garden. "Thank you," she says receiving the tea, gazing down at the timer occasionally to watch it count down. "Traveling was fine, though I swear, the Winter Queen had it out for me," And with that, she can't help but finally laugh.

    Treasured Nix

    And how could she be okay after laying a friend to rest? There was compassion in the Nix’s eyes as she gently nods, “I’m at a loss for words to say right now.” A soft and caring squeeze of the Winter. “But I can listen if you ever need.” She knows no words can take away the pain of a loss, but sometimes offering to listen can be helpful.

    “You might never be okay, but you have the Freehold behind you to support you however you may need it.” Support was good. Making Cassandra talk about it would only cause more pain, and Sera didn’t want that. But she wanted her to know the Freehold was there for her.

    Nodding as Cassandra mentioned outside, Sera enjoyed the patio. Especially when she was the only one there. It was quiet, the canopy of the trees with the brick wall helped mute some of the sounds of the city.

    Once she was content with her timer, she pours herself some of the tea, glancing to Cassandra to see if she would like Sera to pour some for her as well. But she knows everyone likes their tea at different strengths, and would not be offended if she was told not yet. Or simply no. Both worked.

    “I always found travel to be tiresome. Pack, get to the destination, adjust to any time differences.” There had to be an easier way. The laugh surprised the Treasured, she wasn’t expecting it. Was it a good laugh, a nervous one, or something else? “Did you not leave on good terms?” she asks carefully, “Not trying to pry or anything.” But Cassandra did kind of put it out there.

    "Thank you, I appreciate that," Though she isn't sure she's ready to open that box yet. "It's gonna take me some time to get there, but knowing I have people I can go to if I need to let it out is heartening."


    Cassandra nods to Sera for the tea, trusting the strength of the tea will be well enough. She takes a small sip and takes a moment to breathe in the vapors before speaking, "Adjusting to time differences is probably the hardest part. I was awake well into the night the first couple of nights, but it turned out fine. For some reason, adjusting back here wasn't so bad." She shrugs a little.


    "The current Winter Queen has never really liked me much," For good reason. "Before the previous Queen stepped down, there was question over who would take over. My husband had been one possibility and Black-Eyed Susan had been the other. Politics." There is so much more to it though. "Now, I'll be honest, it didn't help that I was originally one of her Flowing Page's when I met Phillip. It also didn't help that once we began dating in secret I was less forthcoming about intel on him." And then it didn't help that I was giving intel on her to him. It was a mess.


    Cassandra purses her lips briefly, "When I met with her for the first time in a few years now, I asked for a place to stay that was safe for the Freehold. A common request." Well, a common request for anyone else. "She wanted an exchange. I gave her what she wanted and she gave me my old apartment." For some reason, it just makes her laugh again, like it's a slightly funny, off-color joke. "It was the last thing I was expecting and for some reason, it tickles me in both a funny and disturbing kind of way."


    A little pause, "I apologize if any of that sounds... When I was in Baltimore, I don't know that I was as good of a person as I've come to be here. I have a lot of wonderful, but mostly negative feelings about my old apartment. So her placing me there was likely one of the biggest insults next to her asking me if I go by my maiden name now."

    Treasured Nix

    And that was all Sera could do, let Cassandra decide if and when she wanted to open up. It probably wouldn’t be to her, but that was okay, as long as the Winter knew she had people there.

    Taking her own sip, she nods carefully, “It was one of those things I never learned to really handle well.” Thinking on what she said, “I wonder if it was because there is a part of you still there,” pausing, “that didn’t come out right. But a part of your mind or heart that will always call there home, and it was, in fact, returning home. Making the readjustment easier.” It made sense in her head. Then again, a lot of things make sense in her head that make no sense when she says them.

    Huh. That was something. But Cassandra had seemed a bit standoffish and snobby when the Nix first met her. But she had certainly warmed and shown those first thoughts to be untrue. Then an understanding nod, “Ah, politics. Not something I particularly enjoy, but I understand the need for them.” Just not some of the rivalries and violence that can come from them. More info revealed, pieces slowly coming together to form a not whole picture. “Oh, I’m sure that created some, unpleasantness. But it must have been a difficult position to be in. On one hand you have your feelings for him, on the other, your loyalty to your Court.” She wasn’t completely sure what a Flowing Page did, but it sounded like a Winter Court position. “Must have been painful to feel pulled in two different directions.” Sympathy in her voice. Though it did make her mind wander over what-ifs. But if Cassandra could do that to another…could she do it Sera? The thought made her pause for a second and think about it. Not that Sera had anything to hide, but still.

    Her mouth drops and hangs open for a moment as she processes what was said. “That’s just,” a pause, shake of her head, “wow. So cruel.” It wasn’t that she was naive to how cruel other Lost could be, she wasn’t. But it still blew her mind that some could be like that after all they had gone through. “I’m so sorry she put you through that.” Another shake of her head, “I cannot image wanting to put someone in that sort of situation.” And yet, a small part of her could. The part that had awakened when her connection to the Wyrd increased.

    “You have nothing to apologize for. It sounds like it was a very difficult and emotional time for you. And sometimes, it takes going out on your own, learning who you are, to let that part of you shine. You’re a wonderful person Cassandra.” And that wasn’t Sera talking just to talk, she felt it was true. “She sounds like a miserable person, and I won’t lie, part of me wishes someone would do that to her.” It felt weird to admit that.

    Eyes like cut, polished emeralds, waist-length scarlet hair, and glowing prismatic skin that seems to react to her emotional state, however what they mean is anyone's guess.

    Something about the way Sera says 'maybe a part of you was still here' actually makes sense. And she rather believed it. Even beyond John and Gerrit being huge parts of her life, just her own heart was back here anyway. Maybe that's what made being back in Baltimore so difficult. "Honestly, that makes perfect sense to me. This is my home now, with all the people I love in it. Of course a bit of me was still trying to be here instead of there." And it makes her smile a little bit.


    "Well, in a sense. It was weird because I was being pulled in two directions within my own court. But that was the game we all played back there." It is a weird thing though, not playing games anymore. Just being able to exist and be herself regardless of who is in what position. Back there, she'd gotten close with a lot of Spring Courtiers, but never would have dreamed of being close with the Spring Queen. That would have been beyond dangerous, even though the Spring Queen there had been a mostly sweet woman. Phillip always had choice things to say, but to him, Spring was always weak. Given Cassandra's leanings, she's always disagreed. "I didn't realize just how much I hated it and what it did to my family until I came here." And Eliza deserved better than that. Which brings up what Blodwyn has done.


    She didn't expect Sera's full response to the situation she'd been put in. Sera seemed genuinely disturbed for her in a familiar way, like a gentle Blodwyn. Well, when Blodwyn wasn't then threatening to then do something to the person's wellbeing. Jokingly, of course. At least, she'd thought so at the time. Blodwyn might have had more Summer in her than Spring at times though. It makes her feel validated that her situation was just as bad as it felt and sounded. There is also the validation that she truly has changed and has had the capability to do so for a long time.

    "I recognize that I hurt her, quite a bit. Maybe I didn't realize the degree for her to be that cruel so long after the fact. Maybe. But I also know she has enemies. It's why she wanted our old Hollow so badly. It's got a great position in the hedge, certainly, but Phillip cleaned it out long before I gave her access to it. So, I suppose I got back at her a little for it. Even though I wasn't aware of it at first."
