@SnarkyFlier — envisioned sits just before us. Even today, it’s a little surreal. Overwhelming, even.”
“I wanted this for you, and for everyone else— so much so that I had gotten to thinking that perhaps indulging it may shake my focus. As if happiness for myself were a selfish notion.”
@SnarkyFlier — “I’ve done a great deal of thinking about such things. Recently, even more so.”
“Hmhm. Would you believe I was inspired to work it out on my own?” As she speaks, Lucina had already poured tea for the two of them. Fruits she’d gathered prior quickly follow.
@SnarkyFlier — It’s part of the reason I decided on something so simple.”
A pleased sigh escapes her as she takes a seat before the tree.
“Come, please. My contributions should be in the basket. I hope you didn’t trouble Sumia for much more.”
@SnarkyFlier — her preparations proper.
“Thank you both for bringing me all this way. I’ll have this set up in just a few moments.”
"Father, happy birthday!"
"Hmhm. Being able to celebrate the occasion with you feels so surreal.. And thankfully, my gift giving capability has come a ways from the macaroni pieces of my youth."

"Stella, happy mother's day. It isn't much, but I set aside the coin to purchase this telescope for you."
"I hope it aids with strategy and star gazing in equal measure!
@BrandedPrince “Haha. You know, when I was younger, I was always tight lipped on my birthday in hopes you or mother would surprise me.”
“In this time, you’ve somehow discerned its my birthday without my mentioning it since my arrival.”
“I wonder, do parents have an extra sense for this?”
@exaltedflame “Thank you, Owain, but I’m afraid such illustrious bards may be wasted on something so simple as ‘happy birthday.’”
“Here is to ensuring they sing of the miraculous feats we have set out to accomplish, not just for today— but for all celebrations to come.”
@SnarkyFlier — so she can observe the sight proper. For someone seemingly so troubled of late, she appeared to be in decidedly high spirits.
“Still, if it’s like that.. As my first act, I decree that we find Daphne a proper spot by the stream before we unpack.”
“Severa, over there looks good. It’s open, and overlooks a river.”
One such afternoon where Lucina has made good on her proposition to ‘chat,’ the pair soar far and wide in search of her vague destination of somewhere ‘bright and peaceful.’
“Can we touch down?”
