“I-- ?” A tentative hand reached out to touch the crown May placed upon her head, because what an odd thing it was for someone to gift flowers to a ghost that isn’t their ancestor. She inspected the present, delicately turning it around on her hand; it was quite beautiful and well crafted, the colors of the flowers complimenting one another perfectly. For a moment, Bloody Mary was almost suspicious, until it dawned on her that it was May 1st; halfway between spring equinox and summer solstice, a sacred day to many. She smiled and set the crown upon her dark locks again, understanding the significance of such a gesture.
“Thank you. I...lose track of time, sometimes.” All the time. Hard to keep up with days and seasons when most of your life was spent trapped in a mirror; though Mary didn’t outright say it, the explanation was her way of apologizing for being so suspicious. Her smile widened. “It’s a beautiful flower crown. Happy Beltane, May.”
