You can learn a lot of things from the flowers

[analyzing]

Who: Everyone!
What: Cherry blossom viewing party
When: Sunday morning to evening? It's an all-day affair, but if you want to stay there till night, hey, it's cool.
Where: Cherry blossom tree hill.
Summary: Spring spring spring! The annual cherry blossoms are blooming, and they won't be there for long. Go go picnic-time!
Rating: G, PG-13? We're in crowds here, let's not scar the kids.
Sunday morning- bright, without a cloud in the sky and perfect in every manner for a picnic under the cherry blossoms. Sure, the hill's a bit far if you live in the southern end of the village but hey, the weather's perfect. Time to get a-walking!

Did you bring food? Can you cook? Or would you, in an attempt to be generous and adventurous, set up a barbeque pit?! Try not to burn down the place now, no one would be happy.


((OOC: Right, this is the cherry blossom viewing log that I promised! Use brackets or prose or whatever style you'd fancy, set up different sections if you'd like! THREADJACK like you've never threadjacked before as well- I expect to see some. Lots.))

I'm afraid that's something only your countrymen can tell. I don't know your monarch at all.

...do you like your monarch, mister?

[ledbythewind]

Our monarch?

... our king came to the throne by force. Since then, he's done many things to hurt the people, both of his country and the other countries in his world. I'm sure the people don't like him much at all.

[...actually, that's probably what's been bothering him for the whole conversation. Usually, it's the people not knowing what the monarch is taking, isn't it?]

But you're not certain?

[ledbythewind]

[He closes his eyes and inhales softly. Were he thinking more about this, he would probably realize that he's pretty much just given himself away.]

... no, I'm not.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't you ask them, then?

[ledbythewind]

They may not wish to tell the truth.

[Sir, save for your crippling fear of the people, you could be a very nice man.]

But it's a start. Don't you think they're worth at least an attempt?

[ledbythewind]

[It's not for the reason you probably think, Leo. :(]

Of course! I'd do anything for--

[... whoops.]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

I thought so. Then it shouldn't be a problem.

[Richard is quiet for a moment. Well, that probably blew his cover... oh well. For some reason, he's not really worried about it.]

... my name is Richard. And yours?

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Leo. It's a pleasure. [Even if Leo's smile isn't as sincere as most people would like to believe, he still holds out a hand to shake. Royalty? So what?]

[ledbythewind]

It's a pleasure to meet you as well.

[Richard will just be taking that hand to give it a firm shake. Leo isn't the only one here who is skilled in the art of faking smiles, but the one he's wearing right now is genuine.]
