The petal rain had started falling. Their world did not have shards of thunder when rain was meant to rain. However, in its place, the ghost tenders of the Green kingdom, had chanted the clouds to rain petals. Each season a different flower petal type fell. It was raining rose petals.
Silver wondered out loud when a rose petal peppered Shinja's cheek. "Wow!" He reached out to take it but also used that opportunity to touch her skin. She colored some more and said more to herself than to him.
"Petal rain."
"What was that love?" Silver queried.
"Petal rain," she repeated as if that explained. She noticed he still wore a perplexed expression. "We receive petal rain in the Green kingdom. Today it's raining rose petals. How lovely! It's good luck I guess."
"Fascinating!" He exclaimed, then looked at her and added, "Your home is fascinating."
