Mother’s Day in our loop ⏳❤️💐
As you all know, Miss P is not only our Ymbryne but also our devoted adopted mother, she loves us as her own and therefore when Mother’s Day comes around, we do everything in our power to make her feel loved and relaxed
We start the preparations at least a week in advance, having “secret” meetings after day classes in the library, where we talk about what we want to do and who has which job
The full preparations are the night before, after loop reset we all go back to our respective bedrooms and wait an hour, then we get to work
of course Miss P isn’t stupid, she knows that we are up and doing things, but she knows how much it means to us so she pretends like she has no clue
for preparations, this is what we normally do:
Fiona will go to the gardens and make a table centerpiece of a Peregrine falcon holding a pocket watch in the beak out of a small bush, and then she makes flower streamers(dark purple Gladiolus, they’re her favorite) that Olive hangs on the ceilings. Hugh’s bees gather pollen and make sure all the flowers are well pollinated and smell fresh
In the kitchen, Bronwyn, Claire, and Emma are baking Miss P’s favorite desserts, which include Tiramisu, Honey Rum cake, and Black Forest cake
Horace and myself are busy upstairs in my sewing room, I had sneakily gotten Miss P’s measurements and had been working on a new outfit just for Mother’s Day, she gets a new one each year (here is the design for this years Mother’s Day, picture it with this color palette)
Enoch is working on the cleaning, well he makes his homunculi do most of the work but he still does take part! Surprisingly for such a messy kid, Enoch is quite good at keeping spaces clean (well, besides his own room of course)
Millard is in the library, preparing the Tales of the Peculiar stories that he plans to read, it’s tradition that we wake Miss P up in bed and give her breakfast while Mill reads to us all
once we finish our hard work, we creep back to bed and wait for sunrise where Miss P coincidentally gets into bed (she rarely sleeps at night, as is the ymbryne duty of watching over her wards) but she will still sit in bed and wait for us to sneak in and “surprise” her
We greet her with pancakes and fresh berries, courtesy of Fiona and Emma. Olive and Claire will jump up on her bed and cuddle into her arms while we all gather around her as Millard reads the Tales.
Once breakfast is over, we give her our cards and homemade gifts, a pendent, an embroidered handkerchief, her dress. She wouldn’t ever show it but a small tear always falls
We’d then take her around the house to see what we made and then take her for a walk around the beach
After we’d have a lovely picnic in the garden, Millard, Hugh and Enoch would play soccer while the girls and I would sit and braid Miss P’s long peppered hair
We’d end the day with a campfire before reset, and she would tell us old ghost stories that she heard from when she was a little girl
