So maybe life as a Hunter isn't very glamorous, and some weeks will be specially nasty with wanderer attacks, and maybe it could drive anyone up the wall to be bone-tired and elbow-deep in wanderer grime.

Sometimes, there's just no end to them and Delia can see her own exhaustion reflected back at her in her teammates' eyes. It doesnt help that they're expected to make precise reports of the ordeals, so what they have waiting for them at the end of the day is piles of paperwork.

Delia is sprawled on her couch that night, barely making sense of the words on her screen when her mind wanders, and she ends up looking at a familiar flower shop's website. A beautiful arrangement of purple and white catches her eye, and in a moment of impulse a smile spreads across her lips as she makes the purchase.

That weekend Nym will receive a pretty bouquet of purple irises and white snapdragons, and if Delia is lucky she might also run into the delivery boy. Or... she figures he might leave a little note of his own.

These made me think of your hair and your eyes, I hope they brighten your day. You're not very different from them, you know? Elegant, couracgeous, and like a little charm that keeps bad thoughts away.

- Delia

Iris: typically symbolize courage, wisdom and hope. Purple specially means disgnity and respect.

Snapdragons: strength and grace, but they are also associated with deception since having them on a person was believed to make them more charming and to ward off witchcraft. White snapdragons mean purity, grace, and good magic.

As soon as Delia strutted up to her desk belting the familiar tune, Nym didn’t even look up from her tablet.

She felt the beat in her bones.

With the smoothest transition imaginable, Nym pushed her chair back, let the stylus fall from her fingers, and—without missing a beat— she flipped her hair and looked at Delia as as she sang it back.

"YOU’RE my soda pop. My little soda pop! Cool me down, you’re so hot... pour me up, I won’t stop!!!!” She holds out an imaginary mic to Delia.

I heard that MLQC had a stuck "coming soon" for a new LI that never came. I'm hoping this is not the same situation. If they do give us a 6th LI I hope it's the last one.

Oh god that sucks 😭 Eternally edged with the quantum existence of an additional LI 😭😭😭😭😭

I hope it's not that situation either, and that the 6th LI is the last too 🙏🙏

The warmth of his hand and the press of his lips on her palm slipped into her, so easily getting under her skin and making her heart skip. It's not fair, she thinks, at the way the low rumble of his voice stirs up the butterflies caught in her ribcage. Since when has he had this effect on her and how did she allow it? Her mind is blank of any replies, she squeezes his fingers lightly before pulling her hand away as if burned.

"I'm not as bold as you are," She steps away, willing her heart to settle, but giving him a smile. "Should you be giving someone that much room? Careful what you say, I might grow curious and poke at your limits."

🙏: cheeks - @xaviersknight

Squeeze Sylus

At first, Sylus was still, eyes wideninf slightly as if trying to process what just happened. Delia’s fingers were squishing his cheek, gently but undeniably, and for a heartbeat he simply blinked in surprise.

Of all people, Delia? The one who guarded her affection around him?

A quiet breath left him, subtle and warm. No protest. No sharp remark. Just... stillness and something soft flickering in his crimson eyes.

As she began to retreat, fingers slipping away like a nervous apology, Sylus moved—slow but sure. He caught her hand in his, not tightly, just enough to keep her there. Then, with the sort of reverence usually reserved for prayers or rare treasures, he brought her palm to his lips and pressed a kiss to the inside.

"Well," he said, a low chuckle curling in his throat, “look who’s feeling bold today.”

He turned her hand slightly in his, holding it a little longer than necessary, thumb brushing lightly along her knuckles.

“You’re allowed to touch, sweetie. I quite like it… especially when you surprise me.” His smile deepened, slow and crooked.

Delia doesn't think much of it, or rather, she doesn't allow herself to overthink it. The morning sunlight had caught so beautifully on the yellow and white petals that she stopped on instinct, taking a moment to admire them and bask in the fresh floral scent of the small shop before deciding to purchase the bouquet. A brief stop, on an otherwise uneventful weekday morning.

She placed them on a vase as soon as she arrived at the association, leaving the simple yet pretty arrangement of yellow marigolds with white chrysanthemums on Miki's desk, a small note lying beside it.

Good morning, I hope these brighten your day. Something about seeing them in the sunlight reminded me of you. - Delia

Marigolds: associated with the sun, inner strength and light; also associated with grief and remembrance of the dead. yellow marigolds mean happiness and joy.

Chrysanthemum: longevity, fidelity, joy and optimism; white chrysanthemums specially symbolize truth and loyalty.

There's no special occasion this time, no date marked on the calendar nor any excuse to get the bouquet other than she wants to. Thoughts of white tulips and roses, of I couldn't bring myself to say it back then, and I can say it now flitting through her head.

Except, the words catch in her throat all over again the moment he opens the door. From the looks of his hair and the way he's blinking sleep away she can tell he'd been napping, something squeezes in her chest and oh, I really do love you. But she steps forward and offers him the red and pink arrangement, a small smile on her lips.

"Here, these are for you."

She lets him take them. It's only later when they're talking that it slips out of her lips mid-conversation. A whisper, as natural as a breeze rustling through the trees. And much later, he would find a small note.

I wonder... if all that time in Jeremiah's flower shop has given you knowledge about flowers beyond taking care of them. If not, you can look up what the flowers I've given you mean. But I still think you know by now, right?

Red Carnations: deep love and affection.

Pink Delphiniums: romance and love.

Baby's breath: innocence and everlasting love.
