The bustle on the streets of Rio had set Winnie into a state of bliss. The noise and commotion was wrapping around her like a blanket, warming her cheeks and setting her at ease. It was hard to remember hardship when the senses were being assaulted on all fronts, and the wine was flowing like water. Her companions had carried on down the road, laughing as they went, leaving her alone as she waited at a stand selling quentão. A vaguely familiar face standing nearby caught her eye, and she turned to face him, a playful smile adorning her lips. “You’re a bit underdressed for such a lively party.” There was a bush next to the stand, bursting with pink flowers, and Winnie plucked one before approaching the man and placing it behind his ear. She stepped back to admire her work. “Just as I thought. Much better.”

“Not the only avenue, though such an aversion does indicate a wider lack of appreciation towards natural beauty.” A new glimmer had taken hold of Winifred’s gaze as she spoke. She never would have guessed it from the outset, but she was charmed by the commander’s willingness to entertain her taunting. A relief, when she considered the other reactions a man with such a large blade attached to his hip might have- especially in the tense times they were living in. Winifred turned back to the stand to retrieve her quentão, content in her amusement. “I am enjoying myself quite a bit, though I have rarely been to a party I haven’t enjoyed for at least a few hours. Even at a dull event, it’s easy enough to make entertainment for oneself.” She took a sip of the spiced wine. “And are you here for work or pleasure? I assume I’m not distracting you from some important work. You don't seem the type to abandon your duties.”  

his chuckle  lingered  between  a  genuine  laugh and a scoff.   ❝ depends on the bird. some of them screech rather than sing. ❞   and those he'd rather shoot down with an arrow than have to endure them grating on his ears. birds of prey were a different matter, but he knew those weren't what the lady was referring to. eyes narrowed when she used his correct title. his attire and the sword strapped to his belt made an inference that he was a soldier expected but she must be observing him beyond that.   ❝ i didn't realize flowers were the only avenue one could admire earth's beauty, ❞   he retorted, his tone mirroring hers.   ❝ ut i am capable of enjoying the festival. are you? ❞

[balteren]

Winifred gave him a skeptical, bemused look, one brow slightly raised. “Not fond of flowers?” When it came to the big, strong soldier types, it was almost always a toss-up whether their brooding was a cover for their whimsical side, or if their brooding was just… brooding. It didn’t much matter to her either way, as long as they were willing to put up with her nonsense. “Next you’ll tell me you dislike birdsong and the sweet sound of children’s laughter.” The longer she stood staring, the more familiar he became. A thorough scan of her brain did not come up with a name, but with a few context clues, she was able to pin down his position. “Are you enjoying yourself despite your aversion to the Earth’s beauty, commander?” Her tone was toying, but not malicious. She was testing boundaries more than anything.  

there was  no  rule  that  stated  he couldn't partake in the festivities, but timur would rather use the time to obtain a better grasp on his surroundings. faith that the tribunal would pass without conflict - whether it be from the other nations or the criminals' friends who were still free. his strides maintained the illusion of relaxation as his wandering gaze appeared to be browsing the array of items and food for sale. most passed him by without acknowledgement so when the lady did, timur's brow furrowed.   ❝ yes, well- ❞   his next words faltered when the flower was placed behind his ear. neutral expression soured. reaching up, he removed the flower from his hair.  ❝ i'm not fond of flowers, my lady. ❞   a partial lie. they were fine to look at, he supposed.
