I'm sure she'll tell you if you ask.

[ Thankfully, it's thin all the way around, you can probably get by with bleeding a bit over three or four bushes right where you are ]

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[Yaaaaaaay.]

Good to know.

[And then he's cutting the back of his hand again and dripping blood in this heart again. '-']

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

[ It doesn't take much, at least, and more rose bushes spring up, choking the glass roses and replacing them with vibrant, living ones.

After choking them, the living bushes part, seemingly moving through the soil like water, opening a little path for May to step out of the circle with a sigh of relief ]

Well, that was fun, right?

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

[Good, I'd rather not pass out.]

Oh yeah. Nothing like a good bloodletting.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

Sometimes magic needs the extra kick.

[ she shrugs ]

But at least I'm free to wander around and do my thing now. The roses'll keep growing now that they've got roots down.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

And what is your thing exactly?

And that's good, right?

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

Simple version? I take care of the garden. It kind of staged a coup a while back.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

You gotta watch those weeds. They'll get you everytime.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

That they will. I think we'll be able to manage now, though.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

[Considers her for a few moments and nods.]

Take care of her, all right?

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

She's my sister. 'Course I will.

[ There's an odd sad look around her eyes, but she doesn't say anything more ]

I should be telling you that.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

I try.

...you okay? You seem...kinda sad?

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

[ May winks and presses a finger to her lips ]

Ask her about it sometime.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

I'm gonna have a list by the end of this, huh?

Do you need any other help here?

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

Probably! But it wouldn't be any fun if you didn't have to work for it, right?

[ she stretches her arms above her head and rolls up on the balls of her feet ]

Nah, I should be all right, now that I'm not stuck on that bench.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

I suppose. Maybe I should write it all down.

At least you should be less bored.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

Definitely less bored.

[ grin ]

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

What is this garden anyway? [Maybe I could touch some flowers I didn't bloodlet to make?]

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

A rose garden. It should've had more types of roses, but the glass ones sort of overran it.

[ You can, but be very very careful. If you can get hold of a stem away from the thorns or the leaves, you can avoid getting cut. Maybe. ]

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

[Yes, I will be careful.]

And what do roses mean to Lucky?

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

Symbolism, obviously!

[ May is pretty chipper about being vague and confusing ]

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

...you're tempting me to just cut myself on a flower to see what happens now.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

Probably the same thing that happened before, for what it's worth.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[protectshisown]

More Heliodor flowers? Yeah, probably shouldn't, feels like cheating then.

Re: The Garden of Glass Roses

[balancetheblood]

The other kinds will come back given enough time and tending.
