Eventually he would make it back to Meridell. Really, he would! There were just places that kept popping up to tempt him into checking them out. Hearing about the beautiful Memorial Garden, who could blame him for growing curious about it? It wasn't like he ever had been good at finding his way back to a place anyway. The fact that people were preparing for some sort of festival made it even more interesting. Young men presented young women with pretty roses as a way to invite her to this dance sort of thing, huh? Yeah, that was bound to get people interested. Granted, he doubted it was limited to just 'young' people, since married couples were likely to show up as well, and others who were getting together later in life. For some reason all of these things just liked to stress the word 'young'. He never really understood that, but hey, why should it matter too much? He counted as a young person still. With a bit of a smirk on his features, Elwyn pulled out the stationary he picked up in Asgard along with the pencil set. A mailbox at the entrance of the Memorial Garden let him know that, yeah, a person could send mail from here, which was pretty cool. Maybe he'd just camp out here for a few days while waiting for this event to happen? Hmm... so writing to Tempest might be a good idea just so the faerie knew he would be coming back. It did bring one question to mind... "Wonder if a guy can ask another guy? That'd stir things up, huh..."★ open

❀ Elwyn Ya! hope you're okay with tiny kids eating your open threads ._. |
Sometimes Gideon wondered why he always ended up taking more than he could take. Lately he had been helping to prepare for the festival in Memorial Garden. It was a very big tradition for young men to invite young women with white roses and if they accepted then they would escort them for the evening. Then at the end the girl could give them a red rose to tell them that they would like them to invite them once more the next year. This year Gideon didn't know if he was going to invite anyone or not. Everyone probably already had a certain someone they wanted, except for him of course.
A basket as long as the boy's torso was strapped onto his back. It was filled to the brim with lovely flowers! Then there was a ball of bright rainbow colored string being tossed back and forth his hands. It was just supplies for decorating. And already getting into festivities, the boy was wearing a cool looking flower crown. Though Memorial Garden already looked pretty good. Gideon just decided to pitch in a little bit. As the faerie approached the entrance to the garden he saw a man. He looked very human, and for some reason Gideon could sense he was human. Originally he wasn't going to talk to him, someone else could interrogate him for his purpose in Whispering Woods or whatever they needed, but then he simply overheard the man.
"Ya, they can," Gideon said, and after blindly fishing out a now-thornless white rose from the basket on his back," Do you need one?" He was now standing at a comfortable distance from the guy, handing out that white rose.

...well now, this certainly got interesting very quick. A boy - a little boy, at that - stood a short distance away with a white rose in his hand. It was thornless, a small detail he took the time to notice, and exceptionally beautiful. Roses tended to be just that, didn't they? A small bit of perfection in an otherwise imperfect world. The scent they gave off allured many and the different colors their petals could turn would forever fascinate people of all ages. The fact of the matter was that the boy answered his question... and then prompted him with a white rose. It was a rather innocent mistake, one that the boy most likely didn't realize he made, and yet letting it slide would be one of the worst things a person like Elwyn Summers could do. Oh no no, he had to make sure his current companion was aware of that little error, and tease him because of it. Where would the fun be without that? "Why certainly, I would love a white rose." Practically glowing with glee, Elwyn reached out to take the flower from Gideon. He brought it to his nose and breathed deeply, releasing a rush woosh of air afterwards. Yes, the scent of roses remained a timeless pleasure that could be enjoyed no matter where. "I do wonder what your name is. Seeing as how you just offered me a rose to attend the festival together, we may as well be on a first name basis. It would be strange not to know who my escort is."★ gideon vardlokkur
★ oh, I'm perfectly okay with it, but I take no responsibility for elwyn c: |

❀ Elwyn tbh i didn't think he would get this weird this early on... |
For some reason Gideon felt a shiver down his spine. It was like he was reading a ghost story or something. The expression of the guy in front of him seemed to lit up at the sight of a white rose. It was weird because due to the festival they were just about everywhere for asking people on dates and such. In fact it should have been weird if the man was thinking about asking someone and didn't have a white rose with them, unless they were going against the tradition. But mostly everyone followed it whether they were asking a young man or a young woman.
After he finished talking Gideon just sort of stared at him for a little bit. He spent those few seconds comprehending what was said. Of course they would probably see each other at the festival, since many people passed each other on the way to the different festivities. And he didn't even know who his escort was? Wait...just then the boy understood what he meant by wanting to know his name. It wasn't to be polite, it was something else.
"HAAAH!?!?" he spoke rather loudly, in an unintentional nasally and obnoxious tone. Really, it was unintentional. Gideon took a step back just then. "Uh...I don't know if I said anything the wrong way but I wasn't asking to be your escort..." He grew a bit quieter as his speech carried on but it seemed normal when you were talking to someone who seemed a bit creepy.

The 'haaah' sound that escaped the youth nearly caused Elwyn to crack up laughing. Did he really not consider how it would come across? Seemed like it! Poor kid in some ways. At least he was a kid. That would be his saving grace in the end of this all. If not for that, taking it all the way would be the course of action. "You weren't? Oh, but that's exactly what you said!" With his cheshire smile, he ticked off on his fingers. "First, you overhear my question and respond to it. That means that guys can ask over guys to the festival according to you. After that you present me with a white rose and ask if I want it. How could I take it any other way than besides an invitation to join the festivities together?"Elwyn twirled the white rose between his fingers. He kept his gaze on the purple-haired figure, trying to imagine exactly what he thought and felt at the moment. That was part of the fun of it all - the reaction of another person. No matter who it was, a few words could usually cause a person to break into laughter or embarrassment. The tricky ones were those with caustic or brooding attitudes. "My name is Elwyn. Elwyn Summers." He continued to twirl the rose easily. "What's your name, cutie patootie?"★ gideon vardlokkur
★ hey, hey, it's totally gideon's fault for weirdness this early, with offering a rose c< |

❀ Elwyn i didn't know he would take it that way >.< |
No no no this guy's logic was seriously messed up. He asked himself if all humans were like this, but they couldn't be right? This was the first one Gideon met though and it was setting a seriously bad impression. The man must have had a weird upbringing because he was greatly misunderstanding him right now. He was lucky that Gideon decided not to take him on, I mean, like not to the festival. Take him on as in punch him in the face, with his fist! And maybe kick him! But Gideon decided not to, yes, decided.
"No it wasn't! It was-," the boy was starting to reply to the old guy's words when he started to cough. Was he getting sick? No, he couldn't be. It stopped a few seconds later. Now it wasn't one of those mammoth roar or slime monster coughs, it was a soft cough like when a situation was awkward. "I asked if you need one for the guy you wanted to ask out! Then..uh, so are you actually going to use that rose or ..."he explained in the most appropiate volume that he could. But it seems it was a bit too much, because he coughed a bit more.
"Uh.....,"he started again, a bit unsure whether to give this guy his name, but he was pretty safe right now so it couldn't hurt," Gideon Vardlokkur. I guess that it is nice to meet you.....sort of." Gideon was keeping his eyes away from him, because obviously that would keep the old guy from realizing that he has no idea what he was saying.

What a peculiar game. Gideon Vardlokkur. Vard... lock... cure? Something like that? He'd work with memorizing it in the future if he ever ran into the spritely little boy again. Definitely had enough energy going, didn't he? Something about that was just adorable. "Well, cutie patootie," Because that was easier than the boy's name, "I do hope to see you at the upcoming festival." Instead of handing the white rose back, he kept it with him. This way it would be on the youth's kind until the event arrived. When it did, if he gave him some attention to mess with him, then there was nothing that could be done about the teasing that followed. For now, trying to get back on track would do him wonders. A barely concealed snicker escaped him as he started to walk off. "Take care of yourself!"Hm, things were getting interesting. ★ gideon vardlokkur
