A day to Return your gratitude!

[ulternnpc]

Today is Return Day in Ultern.

Happy families, and blushing couples can be seen excitedly exchanging gifts that day. Not only that but it seemed the Pokemon too can be seen handing gifts out to their own family and friends, be it another Pokemon or a person.

Like any other holiday in Ultern there seems to be excitement in the air. In fact, everyone just might notice there are Gracidea flowers blooming here, there and seemingly everywhere especially out in the fields. People here can be seen decorating their place with the flowers, or even handing out bouquets of them as gifts to those they hold dear.

Maybe, just maybe there's someone out there waiting to send you a gift too. Or perhaps there's someone you're excited to send a gift to...?

Oh! Theoretically, that should be... let me try.

[Alice picks up a flower, goes to make a hole... and then splits way too much of the stem.]

Fine motor skills are admittedly few and far between for a host. Sorry, I am trying.

[eep, this didn't send yesterday]

[timidlyblooming]

That's alright. Maybe you can make something else! Here...
[Lillie will take Alice's hand and carefully help her braid the flower heads and tie the split ends of the stems together of just two flowers around her wrist.]

See? It makes a bracelet! Besides that, I can help you.

[Not as fancy as a chain, but it's also a fun little creation she can wear!]

((Tracked this down for this thread for ideas, fff. It just felt relevant. ♥))

[Alice smiles at Lillie and hands her a flower.]

Sorry about that. I'm glad you're here. I really should just be giving you all the flowers plain before I wreck too many.

[timidlyblooming]

A-aww, that's so sweet of you! But I couldn't have all of them, could I? I'm sure you have enough to give other people too!

I don't think it's wrecking them, really... it's the thought that counts, right?

Here, this one's for you, Alice.

[It's a little, white, cardboard heart, trimmed with lace and decorated with bit of blue ribbon tied into a bow. The message is hand-written in neat cursive.

"Dear Alice,

Thank you for being a friend!
Good luck with all your studies and endeavours. ♡

Sincerely yours,
Lillie"]

[domeinion]

Oh... Thank you! That's good of you, Lillie. You've put a lot of work into everything while you've been here, haven't you?

[timidlyblooming]

Well... [Lillie got a little shy, blushing. She wanted to protest, but maybe it was okay to accept it. It had been hard at times, like the long, long absence from her newly reunited family...]

Thank you! [Softly.] I try...

I'm sure I could say the same to you, Alice! [More eagerly, this time!] You're always studying whatever you can here, it's impressive, even inspiring!

[domeinion]

Do you think so? It's really more of an impulse, or a habit. I don't think I couldn't study. It'd be better if it were more helpful.

[timidlyblooming]

Oh, don't say that... it's still work, even if it's something you enjoy, and besides, you never know when it might come in handy!

Besides, there's all those Minior you helped save, remember? It made a big difference to them, I'm sure...
