Cherub Wreath and her Friends
The quiet Cherubun glanced up upon feeling the vibrations of foot stomping on wooden floor and blinked up at the brunette Gluttony who was bending down slightly with confusion plastered all over her face.
"Messy....." The Gluttony gestured to the floor surrounding the Cherubun before continuing, her hands moving to form "What you doing, Lessa?"
"Oh...." Lessa's cheeks pinkened as she glanced down at the supplies scattered around her seated form. Pruning shears, holy holly, rosemary, spruce, eucalyptus and assorted dried fruit slices as well as flowers. The spirit of the season had taken over the young Cherubun and she had forgotten how it could be perceived by her Succubun roommate.
"Sorry....Forgot different traditions down here you have, Rosetti...." Lessa glanced back up at Rosetti who looked rather curious now.
"Cherubun traditions?" Lessa nodded
"Always weave wreaths every winter in the heavenly meadow..." Lessa explained as she picked up the white holy holly with golden berries "This Holy Holly. Grew a lot back home. Primrose and Beanny cultivated successfully in Gardens of Virtue." Lessa lowered her gaze toward the prickly leaves in her hand with a small nostalgic smile. Her three Harpups bounced over to prod at the materials as Lessa reached over to pet the pink one on the head.
"Want me teach you how?" Rosetti nodded at that question as she carefully sat down on ground, mindful of her long dress and sweeping it out of way for comfort. Lessa's three Harpups shuffled out of way and were quickly joined by a Bearly, Ryuudra and Uniqor snuggling against them.
Lessa reached for the eucalyptus and holy holly to pull to herself then signed to her friend "Usually work with only holy holly. But I want plants grown here to use. My two homes" she smiled softly "You do not need to." She wasn't surprised to see Rosetti grab the spruce as she knew the Gluttony to have capable hands for handling plants especially spiky ones. The Cherubun refocused her attention back to the plants in her hand as she carefully began to entwine them together and gently bending in curves. Silvia the Uniqor lifted its head to peer at Rosetti carefully manipulating her holy holly and spruce into the desired shape signature of wreaths. Dulce the Bearly nudged Silvia's attention back onto them and their fellow imps as Cinzia the Ryudra curled up on top of them.
Lessa raised an eyebrow when she noticed her purple Harpup scoot over to Rosetti and smack fins on her lap few times. When Maple finally had Rosetti's attention she bounced off toward where they both kept their mobile phones and-
Oh. Rosetti's phone light was flashing brilliantly. The Gluttony carefully set things down, rise to her feet and hurry off to check her notifications. Lessa reached over to scratch Maple's head as a way of praising the little imp as they scooted away to join Dulce, Cinzia, Silvia, Lim and Limi in their imp cuddle pile. The Ryuudra was staring at their owner as Dulce snuggled into Maple's side, sandwiching the purple Harpup against the oher two Harpups.
Lessa glanced up from her wreath where she was trying to entwine both holy holly and eucalyptus into a curve to finish the circle and it was fighting her.
"Azrael on way. Okay?" Rosetti signed from where she was looking at her phone nearby and Lessa nodded. She liked the petite Lust doll that Rosetti's dating. Azrael was rather understanding and made attempts to learn how to sign so she could communicate with Rosetti and also Lessa. Not to mention that the imps all loved her and Azrael didn't try to push Lessa out of her comfort zone.
It wasn't long before the imps were scampering off toward the front door with Rosetti right behind. Moments later, a petite Lust wearing gothic style dress walked in with her hand interlinked with Rosetti's and Lessa had to giggle at the soft blush on Rosetti's cheeks. They were just too adorable. Azrael waved at her then raised an eyebrow at the mess on ground before offering up her bag she had brought along full of supplies just like the ones they were using.
"Ok...If I....Join?" Azrael signed slowly and Lessa motioned for her to come over as Dulce, Cinzia, Silvia, Lim, Limi, and Maple all piled into a pile on a nearby cushion to cuddle among themselves. Azrael and Rosetti both got comfortable on the floor, Rosetti resuming her wreath as Azrael unpacked the supplies she had brought along to survey which to use.
"Lessa....Where get...Those?" Azrael gestured to holy holly and Lessa signed "Heavenly Embassy. Treasure to us." Azrael understood it as one of things from heavenly meadows that meant a lot to the Cherubuns. The Lust observed Lessa and Rosetti work on their wreaths for a moment before reaching for the holy holly to start manipulating into its own wreath shape. It did not take long before Cinzia was leaving the imp cuddle pile to curl up on Azrael's head between the heart shaped horns and the other two were giggling at the sight.
"Happens lot" Azrael explained with a smile as she expertly bent the holy holly into wreath shape and twisted it around to secure it. "Used to it" She added as she handed Lessa the pruning shears for the Cherubun to trim her wreath a little.
"This why....Eucalyptus, rosemary and spruce....For you asked?" Azrael inquired while slowly fingerspelling the three plant words to Lessa who nodded.
"We use holy holly only. Down here like second home for me. Want add other plants grown here. Dried fruits flowers from my gardens I grow and dry myself. I like add last. Small details finishing" Lessa smiled nostalgically as she set aside the pruning shears for Rosetti to take. Her pink, purple and blue Harpups all shuffled around into more comfortable positions with Dulce grumbling at having its comfortable position disturbed as it repositioned itself. Silvia snored away sprawled out.
Azrael soon reached for rosemary to trim and weave in throughout her wreath while explaining that she rather enjoyed the smell of rosemary and since the other two were already using eucalyptus and spruce; she wanted to use rosemary. Rosetti, Lessa and Azrael all reached for dried flowers and fruits to weave and tie into their wreaths to finish it up once they were all satisfied with their base.
"Which Wreath?" Azrael asked as she gestured to the front door. "Both. Yours for shop?" Rosetti responded, noting that the front door had two doors; suitable for hanging both wreaths.
"Yes. My wreath hang my shop" Azrael liked the plan as the three trio picked up their wreaths and got to their feet with Dulce, Silvia, Lim, Maple and Limi scampering after them toward the front doors.
Two nails stuck out of the doors, perfect to hang the wreaths from. Azrael stood back as Lessa and Rosetti both carefully hung their wreaths onto the front door then both stepped back to join the petite Lust doll in admiring the two handmade wreaths full of holy holly, eucalyptus and spruce along with dried flowers and fruits adjorning them. It was perfect door decoration for the season.
"Beautiful! Want come my shop? Hang my wreath with me?" Azrael asked and the other two nodded eagerly before hurrying inside to get ready with their imps running around underneath.
