[Voice & Written]

[He's going to regret this later, but there's a bunch of excitedly high-pitched chirps like a bird singing a love song.]

[That's okay. It matches the background sounds.]

[But FAR more embarrassing is the scribbles he makes into the journal:]

[So someone has a case of Spring Fever. Or maybe just a fever.]

[And then in big bold colorful levels Marco makes sure to add:]

FREE FLOWER CROWNS FOR EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP NOW.

[Yeah. He's kind of lost it.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Only if it's a crown of thorns, dear. Or roses. Whichever comes first!

Who says I can't do Roses?

No one. I'm saying why can't you do thorns?

You actually want to be pricked?

Or is it for someone else?

All those questions are not your concern~!

Can you make them or not? I'd like to know if I'm wasting my time.

Don't decide whether my time is yours or not.

Besides, flower crowns must be tailored as much as possible to the individual. If it's not for you then I can't make it as beautiful or it could overwhelm a lesser woman.

Now answer my first two questions or I'll kick you through an interdimensional kick-hole, yoi.

[Marco plz.]

Isn't it already?

[He's using it on her right now, after all.]

You mean they aren't unisex? Interesting. Also, I don't take kindly to threats. I could be good for your...business, or ill. [Even though she wants to be naughty...]

How about this: make them as you please. I trust your judgement, despite your idle threats. If they are far too magnificent for any creature but I, then I shall keep them. Otherwise, I won't keep them.

Although I doubt anyone else can do these lofty crowns justice, so I have high hopes.

How is it business if they're free?

Are you planning to reward me now? [Has to be asked.]

I thought it was a free business? What point could there be in a reward right~?

[She hums gleefully, because that was her point all along. It may be a free business, but there are still rewards for a job well done to consider.]

Do you see now?

[The answer is 'maybe' or 'yes'.]

Do you often talk in oxymorons?

[It's a measure of something that Grell is able to restore his deadpan when no one else could.]

Never would I ever~!

[A pause.]

Except I do. Sometimes.

[She feels so special if she knew that he was acting weird.]

Should I have enough green on the thorns to bring out your eyes, or will they be bloody?

My eyes or the thorns? [She isn't sure which he's referring to.]

[.... Why would her eyes be bloody?]

[Why wouldn't her eyes be bloody?]

[He has a headache already.]

Aye.

[Your call darling.]

[He can thank her later. Right now, she's giggling softly at how unsure he sounds.]

I think there should be an even amount. My eyes should stand out, naturally.

Aye. [Much more sure of himself this time, as he's already working on this thing.]

Now you just need the right formal occasion to wear it to.

[She sighs softly.] If only one were to pop up!. I'd love to show off the handiwork.

If I have a chance to provide one for you, I shall let you know, Gorgeous.

You're most kind. Don't keep me waiting~!

It's rude to keep a lovely lady waiting.

I prefer to think of it as whetting your appetite.

You're quite the tease. Usually that's my job.

I suppose you'll have to start beating me to the quick then, eh.

That's not all I'll beat.

How long will it take for those crowns? A queen can only rule for so long without one.

Patience.

There's a rhythm this island doesn't like disrupted.

How far away is your ship?

Patience is not a virtue I hold dear.

From Isla Empieza? Over a week's sail. Why? Planning a visit? Or something more?

[Since Marco could easily just come over via nav, so she's curious as to why he's even asking.]
