"I saw this and thought of you~!" Shui beamed as he chirped that comment rather excitedly-- fetching something from within the small bag he'd been carrying. And just what was it?
It was a simple thing, really… But-- peeling open the pages of a small notebook, the ginger cat presented his companion with the head of a flower which had been carefully pressed between the pages… A pale yellow iris, who's soft petals now clung gently to the paper.
"It still needs to dry for a while… But…" Here he trailed off, hints of pink dusting his cheeks as he laughed softly. ‘I couldn’t wait to show you’ the words went unsaid, but even so— they were probably still plain to read across Shui’s slightly shy smile.

It's been far too long since Alucard was gifted something so innocent and thoughtful. Wasn't he a child when he was last given something this sweet? Memories come to mind of his childhood, leaving a softened smile on his face at the sight of it.
The color even reminds him of his eyes, surely believing Shui must have picked this as it reminded him of the dhampir. It leaves Alucard's cheeks to pink on his pale face, lips into a smile that was gentle as fingertips tuck hair behind his ear shyly.
"It's beautiful...Once it dries, I would love to have this framed." A precious preserved moment to remind him forever of Shui's sweet gesture, and a moment that drew him closer to this cat he's begun to feel his heartbeat flutter for.
