— WHO TRIES.

THE SUNFLOWER WONDERS IF IT’S A BLESSING OR A CURSE, the position she holds within the restaurant. To tend to droves of world-weary faces and ration what little servings of bread and ale were left – whatever they could pull together to see them through the barren winter months. But even the winds couldn’t burden Rapunzel’s spirits, not with the gift nested within her hands : a pair of tarts, constructed with stolen bits of dough and preserved fruit. She casts careful glimpses over each shoulder before daring to catch the poet’s attention.

“PSST – ORPHEUS.”

Easily distracted ; mind wanders into a state of its own creation, half reality half otherworldly and filled with a soft hum of melodies that chase every moment with an underlying desperation that so frequently catches him at the strangest of times. ( finish the song, finish the song, finish the song — ). Doesn’t even notice the soft footfalls of her approach until name is spoken, bringing him out of slight stupor and into the present. Soft hues flicker between the girl and the treat in her hands, the beginning of a smile slipping onto gentle features.

“I hope that’s a good thing,” 

Soft laugh underlies his words, a smile upon his lips ; aery and gentle, reminiscent of the sunlight at dawn just beginning to peek through the shadows. A promise of warmth. 

                            — AND I CAN SING US HOME AGAIN.

“That’s not true,” 

His voice is soft, a whisper, a single breath breathed out just as quickly as she speaks. It carries such a certainty, and the way his lips purse after they’re said proves they weren’t misspoken. A hand reaches to caress her face, thumb resting against her cheek — he has nothing more than pretty words and sweet gestures, but he hopes it is enough to offer her, to show how his heart feels as though its overflowing anytime he lays eyes on her. How certain he is in this feeling, despite how sudden it may be.
