I couldn't speak.
My mouth opened and closed like that of an ocean breather.
I had seen pictures of him but he was more...what was the word? Handsome. He was a dark elf, his ears pointed downwards and his slit eyes blinked at me. A small scar ran along his lower lip giving him an ancient warrior vibe.
"Aetharia to Lora" his fingers snapped in my face, it was then I noticed his hands.
Dear Mother of floppers.
Thick yet thin veins ran along his hands, protruding like crazy. He had scars on his hands too! How could one person be so...sexy?
"H-hi" I finally choked out. My brain still processing and burning the image of him into my brain.
"Nice sweater"
He chuckled and pointed at the calico flopper on my sweater. My cheeks went hot and I felt my hair glow too.
Be calm! Be calm!
He outstretched his hand for me to take it. It was then I noticed his other hand was behind his back.
I tried peeking but he swerved, hiding whatever was behind him.
"Take my hand first...if you want...if you're not comfortable you can tell me?"
I nodded and held unto his pinkie. He chuckled at my actions before revealing his other hand
"I didn't know which one to get so I just got my mom's favorite"
Flowers
He gifted me flowers!
It was the first time I was given something by someone who wasn't family, well second time.
"You don't like it?"
His voice came and I snapped out my thoughts
"No no I mean yes no no I mean no...it's just I've never been gifted flowers before..."
He blinked, his eyelids hiding and revealing the dark of his eyes that had no whites
"You're kidding"
"I'm not"
He blinked again. He looked like a confused wall critter.
"Well, I've acquired a new mission"
He placed his hand on his waist, his eyes trained on me
"And what might that be?"
"Bring you all the flowers...good ones I heard there are some with bad mojo...good flowers until you find your favourite"
I giggled and shook my head, the flowers' petals rose into the wind from my movements and burst into little shiny particles
Blue Bursting Spirit Flower.
