the elden lord's radiance was gold itself —

she saw a piece of heaven.

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

Lucille leaned against him, already feeling much better with his presence.

"I'll be okay... just let me finish a few more flowers near to fountain..."

Feeling faint, she only leans against him more, dropping the watering can.

She needed to lay down and rest—

[𝚁𝚊𝚟. ⋆ — ​𝘙𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 . @GoldnEchoes]

Well, almost as if a sixth sense, Rav walks over to her. head tilted. ;;

"Lucy? There you are..."

Glancing around, he noticed no one nearby. he immediately wraps his arm around her gently. ;;

"Hm... you look unwell."

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

She would appreciate it — ! ;;

[𝚁𝚊𝚟. ⋆ — ​𝘙𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 . @GoldnEchoes]

( ... he should check up on Lucille. )

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

Sighing softly, she has to sit down for a little bit to feel better.

"... I couldn't give the job to just anyone. I appreciate the offer, though..."

Lucille places the watering can down, "... just give me a few minutes and I'll be fine! Don't worry, alright?"

[𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀 ˊ- @DlVINESAGE_]

Sonia stood up straight once she saw Lucille's change of expression , quickly making her way over towards her .

Resting her hands upon the other's shoulders , she gently ushered her to sit down on a stone bench nearby .

❝ As much as I trust that you can finish the rest , »

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

"But it's not your responsibility... uhm..."

Lucille fell silent, trying to calm the nausea. Once she felt slightly better, she shook her head.

"... sorry, I can finish the rest. If you're a guest, you shouldn't be doing these chores..."

[𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀 ˊ- @DlVINESAGE_]

Looking up from the bed of flowers she's tending to , she smiles and waves her hand dismissively .

❝ It's okay , please do not fret .

My help does not require any currencies . ❞

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

@DlVINESAGE_ / / heheh. everyone can just tell. She is NOT good at hiding it at all.

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

/ / this woman is literally Raviigon's top worker. She will NOT rest unless he literally told her to or she fainted first. 😮‍💨

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

In the moment she zones back to reality, she noticed the other woman helping her.

"Oh, you don't have to do that for me... I don't have anything to pay you with."

[𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀 ˊ- @DlVINESAGE_]

. . . Sighs softly .

Well , she cannot force her to rest .

. . . So , she'll help her tend to the flowers instead !

It'll be easier with two people tending to the flowers .

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

@DlVINESAGE_ / / She knows it's genuine kindness, but the poor girl puts all the work on herself. 😔

She'll be a little difficult but it's not from a place of malice. She's just truly, TRULY loyal and dedicated. (andcompletelyinlovewithhim)

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

Truly, she couldn't forgive herself either way. Even if he said it.

How contradictory... ;

She'll tend to the flowers anyway, despite her not feeling all too well...

[𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀 ˊ- @DlVINESAGE_]

Unfortunately , she doesn't have the ability to heal her . . .

She's certain that Radagon — Rav , wouldn't mind if she tended to the flowers while she rests .

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

She usually tends to the flowers... but that's her job that was given by her Lord Radagon... if she is caught giving the job to someone else, she would feel bad.

Could she help with healing, perhaps... ?

[𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀 ˊ- @DlVINESAGE_]

Is there anything she could do to help ?

She'd be happy to take on her tasks while she gets some rest .

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

Too bad she can't heal herself... she's feeling quite unwell today.

... maybe she IS overworking after all. 💧

[Cleanrot Knight Commander Kaela @CleanrotKaela]

Of course, of course. I'll keep that in mind.

[Good thing Lucille had to do work. Meant she was less likely to try and spy on the Cleanrotten one. Still. There was a chance she'd report Kaela's presence to the Lord.

She returned the bow with a polite nod, an attempt to +

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

sharing so much information as she did... hopefully that wouldn't come back to bite her. )

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

You're welcome.

( She bows a little with a smile. )

I should be going now. I'm late for so much work... but if you ever need any assistance, other perfumers should help you around.

Feel free to ask them~!

( Lucille started to get a slight feeling of regret ++

[Cleanrot Knight Commander Kaela @CleanrotKaela]

these days. Not after... everything... Frankly, if the Misbegotten were to act hostile, she'd offer no mercy. There'd be no reason to.]

I thank you. Your... talk has been most helpful...

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

the grand lift there... there's flowers there. also many misbegotten spend time there as well.

They are friends of his, I believe...

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

Well... he tends the flowers like I do.

( She wouldn't mention their secret home out of respect, though... )

You could find him in the main road. That's where most of the flowers are nowadays. If not there, then maybe beyond the east side of the capital.

Closer to ++

[Cleanrot Knight Commander Kaela @CleanrotKaela]

better that than to waste too much of your valuable time...

[Given the loyalties of this one, it was best to be cautious regarding what she did and said next.]

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

idea to point in the direction where she could be found... if a fight broke out in the capital, her lord wouldn't be impressed... )

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

The stranger...? Oh, right—!

( tapping her chin, she remembers a bit back. Perhaps the Naeva person...?

Most likely. )

If I have the chance, I'll memtion you to them. They are mostly with... Deus, I believe. Last time I saw them, I believe!

( Maybe it was a bad ++

[Cleanrot Knight Commander Kaela @CleanrotKaela]

she hint towards something? Hmm, might as well, judging by the attitude of this one.]

And perhaps, if the coincidences align, 'talk' to that stranger I mentioned earlier. The one who spends some time here...

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

/ / finally I can sit down and play elden ring. The journey of Lucille finally begins. >:3c

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

Or need... anything?

[𝐿𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 @altusblooms]

( Fiddling with her earrings, she sighs a bit to herself. Probably she sounded too dedicated.

Better to stop talking now before she makes a fool out of herself. She'll kick herself later for that one. )

Well... uhm. Did you want to look around in the meantime? ++

[Cleanrot Knight Commander Kaela @CleanrotKaela]

might.

Though Kaela felt rather comfortable not having a dedicated side just yet, she knew at some point, picking an allegiance might be better for her... stability-wise.]
