//finally got to the replies :')

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · 15d

"A-ah uh... yes i do!"

She chuckles nervously, scratching the back of her head

"I'm sorry. It's just... you look a lot like a friend of mine and well, i got curious. His name's Cloud. Could it be that he's your son?"

The Puppet @dendr0brium.bsky.social · Sep 10

Certainly the resemblance is very telling, between 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐚 and Cloud.

"Oh—"

But the question is sudden indeed.

"I do—and do you have a sister?"

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

“Oh, hello!“

The young florist smiles before stopping in her tracks. Something about that woman seems familiar…reminding her of a certain spiky haired man she knows

“I-i’m sorry. This might be out of nowhere, but…do you happen to have a son?“

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · 15d

"Huh?? N-now hold on a minute! You can't just suggest me for a fight without talking about it with me first!"

She pouts up at Lep

"May I recommend @hibiscusmaiden.bsky.social , @succubusguardian.bsky.social , @flowermerchant2.bsky.social , @king-of-the-ocean.bsky.social , or @yuukakazamirp.bsky.social , should any of them choose to accept it?"

She chuckles

"Well, since you're here, what do you say about hanging out together? It's been a while since you've shown me a magic trick"

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · 15d

"No no, it's just...I'm surprised you even knew about this nickname in the first place..."

She looks down at her gloved hands

"Just... brought back some memories is all"

Lep, the Multiversal Explorer @infinitehorizxn.bsky.social · Sep 7

+ entirely different nickname I somehow referenced."

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · 15d

"Great! Then let's get going. Any place specific you'd like to go to?"

She tilts her head curiously

//I’ll get to the replies soon, i promise-

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · 25d

//hey people! I am so sorry for not being consistent with my replies recently😔

It'll still take me a while to finally write those replies. Especially with school back in session. Thank you for being patient with me🙏

In not even 5 minutes, the florist rushes back in with the materials she needs. Once everything's set on the coffee table, she sits down next to Cloud and starts off by cleaning up his wounds

"How did you end up in this bad of a shape? You're usually more careful then this Cloud..."

𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇͟𝐎͟𝐋͟𝐋͟𝐎͟𝐖 @loyalmercenary.bsky.social · Sep 8

But something told him she wouldn't listen either way. He just they'd be used to do light healing of the worst injury.

Either way, Cloud couldn't force himself up to go persue Tamara and tell her otherwise. He simply had to stay seated and await her return.

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · 29d

"It's ok. Take your time. You also don't have to tell me if you don't want to"

She carefully gets closer to him. Though still mindful to give him space still

𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇͟𝐎͟𝐋͟𝐋͟𝐎͟𝐖 @loyalmercenary.bsky.social · Sep 8

Hesitancy lingered, uncertain whether or not to elaborate on what left him in such a distressed state mere minutes ago.

It was difficult enough grounding himself in reality, let alone fully recalling the dreams which plagued him.

❝I could try, but... I don't really remember much of what happened.❞

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

Tamara instantly yet gently holds his hand the moment he extends it

“There you are. Do you wanna talk about it? To get it off your chest?“

She tilts her head, patiently waiting for his answer

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

//ok, i think i got everything i missed. If not, feel free to shoot me a dm lol

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

“Oh, hello!“

The young florist smiles before stopping in her tracks. Something about that woman seems familiar…reminding her of a certain spiky haired man she knows

“I-i’m sorry. This might be out of nowhere, but…do you happen to have a son?“

"Good morning," she greeted the younger woman—as she would greet anyone else, any other morning.

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

“Oh! That’s so nice of him!“

She claps her hands together

“Do you have an idea on what you want to gift him?“

🌸🌺ℭ𝔦𝔰𝔰𝔫𝔢𝔦 🌺🌸 @cissneishuriken.bsky.social · Sep 1

" that sounds like a wonderful idea , although I need to see what I should gift Ryan..he helped me out quite a bit last time giving me a big selection of tea mixtures he made to choose from."

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Aug 25

“How about this. You check out when you’ll be free again and we’ll both go to his tea shop together! Like a girl’s trip! How does that sound?“

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

Once they’re upstaires in her apartment, she leads him straight for her couch. She carefully sits him down before standing back up staight

“Wait here. I’ll get something to clean you up and the healing materia“

And with that, she rushes to her room to get the mentioned things

𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇͟𝐎͟𝐋͟𝐋͟𝐎͟𝐖 @loyalmercenary.bsky.social · Sep 1

With no choice but to rely on her, he followed upstairs, gloved hand still pressing to apply pressure against himself.

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

Cloud gazed at his own hands once more, ensuring that they truly weren't bloodstained before extending one towards Tamara.

Guilt and nightmares always threatened to consume him — along with fears of losing more people he cherished.

❝I... I'm okay now.❞

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Aug 31

Tamara stays silently by his side. Waiting patiently for him to calm down. When she noticed his steady breathing, she extends her hand towards him, an offer to hold his hand if he so wishes. All the while she keeps a smile on her face

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

“Oh, you’re not stealing my time at all! Though, I won’t keep you here if you need to go. Though, I do hope to see you again“

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

Her expression turns a bit sad for him

“I’m sure there’s some people out there that would do the same for you. Sometimes, it takes a while to find your people…“

She looks down at her hands for a while before putting her smile back on

Shaking the melancholic thoughts away, he bowed slightly:
“I fear I took enough of your time, I should get going at once and look after those beautiful roses.”

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

And indeed, she looks at him with heavy confusion. The thing that mostly caught her attention- the nickname he pronounced

“…what are you talking about?“

“From Wutai? Now that’s a nice surprise!“

She lets out a small chuckle before offering

“Say, as a thank you for saving me, how about we go grab a drink? My treat“

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Sep 7

“Nice to meet you Claudia!“

She smiles at the woman’s question

“I sure do! I would be a terrible sister if I didn’t“

The florist quickly rushes to his side, supporting him as she leads him to her shop/apartment

"Lets go inside and patch you up, ok?"

She careful not to cause him any more pain. Once inside, she locks the door and flips the sign to 'close' before leading him upstairs

Compared to his current state, Fenrir was worse off. He'd pushed the motorcycle most of the way back, leaving it only a minute walk away to seek help.

❝Ran into trouble and fell off. Ended up getting jumped.❞

Simply staying by his side is more than he could ask for. Gradually, with her there to ground his mind in the present, Cloud's breathing steadied.

His pulse returned to a relatively normal pace as well, seeming to do far better now his mind wasn't trapped within the horrid nightmare's clutches.

🌼Gainsborough Tamara🌼 @flowermerchant2.bsky.social · Aug 29

“Alright. I’ll stay right here, ok? You’re not alone“

The florist stays seated near him. Right now, her priority is to support him as best as she can. If it means staying up all night, she’ll do it, no questions asked
