Gratitude Bouquet

Why the fuck is it suddenly the season to be giving out flowers and chocolates and all that bullshit?
Oh yeah. Matentines. He would far rather be trying to break couples up but he had not been in the mood to do that lately. Did he know why? Not really but he had his suspicions. Jackal and Dove. They had really changed his view on life especially regarding relationships.
.....His vice remains envious of relationships through but that was something he still would be working on.

Casque scowled as he stood in front of a flower store; Hollyhock & Iris Floral Emporium and he absolutely did not want to enter but he could NOT get the thought out of his mind regarding giving Jackal some flowers.
Why was he being so damn sappy for that woman?
....Oh yeah because she had been big help in getting him acclimated to Burrowgatory, unlearning Gremory's toxicity and setting up the envy bun gatherings.....
Fuck. Not to mention Dove had been absolutely sweetheart and put up with his bullshit.
Fucccck.

Groaning, the envy bun pushed the door open and trotted inside only to see that it was mainly suited for dolls not buns. Shit. He swore under his breath as he trotted off to find steps that led to the register. When he finally got to the counter, a dark lust doll was leaning onto the counter, going through her notes and she glanced up once he had cleared his throat rather pointedly.

"Oh...You're a bun. We don't get bun customers often. Apologies for not seeing you. Are you seeking to purchase some flowers?"
"Is my presence here in this flower shop not fucking obvious regarding what I'm seeking???" Casque snapped and Azrael simply raised an eyebrow with a small smile.

"My apologies. Who is it for?"
"Jackal." Casque growled and Casque simply continued while ignoring his sour mood.

"Do you know what flowers you'd like to purchase?" She inquired
"FUCK NO! This is fucking sappy and I ain't about that shit!"

The lust doll's eyebrows disappeared into her hair at his tone.
"My my, oh my. That's quite the temper." Her tone was lightly chiding and yet Casque's scowl deepened.

"You are here regardless of your opinion so Jackal must mean something to you" she continued, sounding somewhat amused "And you obviously lack the knowledge of flowers and their meanings. Now. If you would only simply tell me what messages you are hoping to convey, I can put something together for you."

"...........Do you fucking offer a delivery service or some shit?" Casque growled and Azrael sighed softly while clicking her tongue
"I do. I will deliver the bouquet afterwards. Now. The message?"

"...........I wish to express my gratitude to Jackal."
Azrael's eyes jolted toward his envy horns and nodded.

"That'll be simple to arrange then. Let me get them together for your approval." She walked away from the counter and Casque watched as she went for a flower that had particular showy trumpet shaped petals. Then the dark lust doll snipped few stems before heading to another section that had flowers with wiry stems and group of bustling blooms. Once those had been snipped, Casque watched as Azrael moved onto large bustling blooms in groups and snipped several stems in varying colors. He blinked when the last flower happened to be thin stems with umbrella shaped clusters in white. Huh that's kind of odd and pretty.

Soon, Azrael was returning with the flowers and laid them all out on the table for him to approve of.

"The first one is Petunia, it usually have negative symbolisms but I chose this because it also symbolizes 'your presence soothes me' which I'm going to safely assume that she does due to helping out the envy buns who show up in Burrowgatory?" At his approving nod, she continued

"The second one is Gladiolus, it means 'strength of character, sincerity and generosity' which is what Jackal is known for regarding the envy buns and her strength in the adversity" Casque frowned at how she had nailed it but had to begrudgingly concede the point. Azrael grinned as she moved onto the third flower

"Hydrangea, especially blue ones means 'gratitude and thank you for understanding'. It fits your request" Casque scowled as the lust doll quickly moved onto the last one

"Queen Anne's Lace. Feel free to disagree with my thinking but it does means 'Haven' and I do know that she has offered haven for all envy buns that has showed up so far."

"She does feel like it. You have nailed my request perfectly. Please have those delivered. How much?"

After Casque had paid for the flowers, Azrael set out to personally deliver those and smiled sweetly once Dove had answered her knocking

"OH! What beautiful flowers, are they for me?"
"No, Dove. Apologies but they're for Jackal. Can you get her please?" Azrael requested of the cherubun who ran back inside to call for the envy doll who came to the door with a frown.

"From Casque. I have included a note with the meanings. Enjoy" Azrael handed the bouquet over and left as Jackal went back inside to glance over the note attached.

"Huh. Well he can have his sappy moments from time to time...." Jackal smirked as she handed Dove the note before setting the flowers up in a vase.

"Those are really beautiful and thoughtful. We need to thank Casque for those." Dove squealed and Jackal only nodded; already coming up with ideas.
