R’nd chuckled as he nodded while taking in her attire. “The shirt definitely becomes you as well. Kerrin really has your style figured out.” And he did. Their friend had always taken a fascination with dressing Indivara for at least the past decade. He supposed it was because Indivara never really had her own style back then and was the perfect person to try colours and styles on. R’nd knew she tolerated it because it was Kerrin and anyone else that tried to dress her would have ended up bruised. It was also nice seeing her in something that was made for her and fit her properly instead of in one of her friends’ stolen shirts. He was fairly certain Indivara still had at least one of his as well.
“However, that’s not what I meant,” R’nd smiled as he walked away to go pay for his items, enjoying the little bit of teasing he was able to get away with. On his way, he grabbed one more flower, adding it to his stash of goods. A few minutes later and R’nd carefully added everything to his satchel with one flower laid gently atop the other items and the other flower kept in hand. He gave Indivara a little nod toward the door, indicating he’d wait for her outside when she was finished.
When Indivara joined him outside, R’nd worried he might get a foot stomped or a shin kicked for his efforts of dragging it out but it seemed she was too curious to inflict harm just yet. Besides, his intentions were mostly good; he didn’t want to chat too much in the store where gossipers were hanging about. Of course walking around in the open area with people everywhere seemed like a much better idea.
“A beautiful lady deserves a beautiful flower of her own,” R’nd held out the rose to Indivara, inspired both from the way she had admired the one for the kitchen worker and her idea to get V’ler rose-scented items. His mother always enjoyed gardening and he remembered asking her once when he was a child about the different colours of some of the flowers she seemed to favour. Yellow roses, such as the one he gave to Indivara, implied a platonic friendship and was bright and cheery like the sun—which was very much like the mood she was radiating.
“And I meant happiness. Oh and being mated, actually mated, that is,” R’nd smiled and again started to walk away, taking his time as he waited for Indivara to get over his words and catch up.
