empiricaljewelWHO: Luluko, Rolo
SECONDARY CHARACTERS: None
WHAT: Luluko is at home when Nunnally visits Euphie and she sits in her rose garden with Rolo.
RATING: U
Sitting in her little garden was one of Luluko's favourite passtimes. Nunnally was visiting Euphemia at the li Britannia estate but Luluko had opted not to go. She was feeling a little under the weather and did not wish for her sisters to have to cut back on their activities for her sake.
She had waved her sister off and missed her instantly, but it was okay. She was not alone - Rolo was staying with her for the day to keep her company. She had been so happy when he said he would let Cornelia's guard take care of the younger princesses today as he didn't want her to be alone.
Now she sat in the area of garden left for her use. In here she allowed no one unless she came with them and she grew all the plants in here herself. It was a peaceful little sanctuary that she loved. Usually it was Jeremiah or one of her siblings in here with her but the Knight had been called off on official business with her mother and so today, she was showing Rolo.
She smiled as she covered his eyes and gently drew him through the gates into her little paradise, making sure he didn't stumble over his own feet or trample her blooms. She got him down the ornamental gravel path and to the pretty waterfeature in the middle that housed some koi carp under a mermaid fountain. The stone mergirl poured the water in from a jug as she watched over the fish and Luluko had fallen in love with the design as soon as she had seen it.
"Are you ready, Rolo?" she asked and the boy nodded. Luluko allowed herself a smile as she saw he was blushing furiously beneath his hands and she reached over to him and gently drew his hands away from his face. "Open your eyes."
He did as asked and his eyes lit up as he looked around at the coloured rosebushes, the bright tulips and nasturtiums around the small rectangular area.
"You did this all yourself?" he asked.
"Well, almost. I make Jeremiah help me with things I can't carry or reach," she admitted. "I like sitting in here for a bit of alone time."
She watched as Rolo looked all around the little enclosed garden and enjoyed it's beauty and smells. The high bushes around them cut it off from the rest of the palace gardens and allowed the pair a little bit of space away from the general bustle of the servants and Knights going about their business.
"Peaceful in here, isn't it?" she asked as she sat down on her chair and bade him come sit with her as she enjoyed the relative solitude.
It was nice - getting to spend time with Rolo. The boy still got embarrassed easily and was a little overly formal, but then Jeremiah did the same. He was always so eager to please though and that was different. None of the servants were outrightly rude to her because they feared for their jobs if they did, but there was something about Rolo that made her feel like he was genuine. She got the same feeling from Jeremiah and the older man had taken a liking to Rolo himself. She had high hopes for him. Maybe even one day he would be admitted to the Rounds - he certainly had skill with a Frame. She realized she had just been sitting and pondering her companion and turned to him.
"Thank you, Rolo," she said simply.
"For what?" he asked, apparently confused.
"For just being you." She knew it was a little cryptivc, but she meant it. Every word. Silence fell and she looked up to the blue skies as her nose filled with the delicate scents of her garden.
It was good to have friends like Rolo.
