WHO: all of you
WHERE: day 74
WHEN: through the day tbh

[there's trauma approaching in the distance but it ain't showing up quite yet THIS day!

it's a really beautiful day, actually. sunny and deeply pleasant weather. maybe sometime today people might return from a snadventure (snake adventure), or maybe not? the wildlife and your lil resident sheep are all perky and up and at 'em and full of energy. hopping.

what about you?]

[ During the early hours of the day, he'll be going for a run around the pasture as usual, or doing yoga outside of Rose. Join him or find him after he's freshened up and is putting some things together by the garden!

It looks like little paper flowers in a small jar, or little decorative perfume bottles? And cushions? HM. Come take a look? ]

[ Cubecall to Rubato ]

I'll meet you at noon, let me know where to come by- and dress comfortably.

[ He will definitely be planning to look nice for this. ]

I've already made some snacks, so just bring whatever you like, too.

[chasseurdebeaute]

When the sun is highest then, mon cœur, I shall be waiting at Bluebell's fence!

[Though he doesn't plan to have the picnic there]

[poisonista]

I'll see you then.


[ And once he's dressed up some, he'll be heading over- he has a cloth bag with the snacks he's made, as well as a present- but he'll give him a light wave when he spots him. ]

Hello, Rubato.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Belle said to dress comfortably, so Rubato's probably wearing just simple jeans, a long-sleeved tee, coat, and brown leather gloves. He's up on the fence, looking a bit windswept, a messenger bag over his shoulder and a broom in hand.]

Bonjour, Belle. Would you care to go for a ride?

[poisonista]

[ He observes him as he approaches, giving him a nod. ]

That look suits you.

[ He's learning how to dress himself without Belle's guidance... even better. For once, he doesn't reach up to try and correct anything, then coming closer with a nod towards the broom. ]

It's been a while since I've gotten on a broom. Please.

[ Gestures to him to ready the broom, then. ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

I'm pleased if it meets your approval. Fufu, though perhaps next time we can coordinate.

[He drops onto the broom and floats down to Belle's level, perfect for the sidesaddle position he prefers.]

[poisonista]

That will be a challenge with our styles, but not one I'm against taking on.

[ Coordinating Bluebell's look against Rose's, that is. With a nod of thanks, he gets himself on the broom and balances his bag with the basket and items in it, before relaxing. His makeup is perfect- almost too perfect for a picnic with the kind he's used, with a smokey daytime under-eye, a look that he usually doesn't wear normally (he only slightly defines under his lashes, though surely it's because he's at classes during the day). But he'll never look less than beautiful, especially for an outing- and they're not at school, either. He can go a little further than usual.

With his free hand on the broom just behind Rubato to balance, he looks over at him. ]

Where are we going?

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Noting the makeup--and also...]

There is a hill not too far by broom that offers a most stunning view. You don't want to hang on to me for the trip, Roi du Poison?

[poisonista]

[ He is being *mysterious* with the makeup- but he blinks, then-

( He wouldn't ask if he wasn't fine with it. )

After a moment, he draws himself nearer, a hand moving forward to settle around his waist with his arm to the side. ]

Excuse me, then. And don't get distracted.

[ A small "follow" spell will be on the picnic basket and bag for them to fly alongside the broom as he balances his now free hand atop the back of the broom. ]

Ready when you are.

[chasseurdebeaute]

I don't mind if you would like to try!

[He lifts up into the air then, heading out into the meadows where hills start to rise. There are trees spotted amongst the fields here and there, but Rubato will point out a big old tree up on one of the larger hills as they climb up higher into the sky. From above they can see that there are plenty of wildflowers growing in thick carpets over the grassy hill and the tree itself is bent picturesquely toward the earth, providing the perfect dappled shade beneath.]

[poisonista]

[ There is a wave of fondness that rushes through him despite everything at that— maybe he'd have taken him up on it, maybe he will, eventually-

But for now he simply leans in close as he flies, enough that he can smell a scent near his neck that feels almost too familiar, before he fixes his gaze on where they're going. He hasn't flown a broom here since his first day, so this is a new view. And it's... lovely. He looks around in awe, admiring it. ]

My... [ "Ara"... ] I never thought there would be a place this fitting around here.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Mm, I have passed over this hill many times while hunting.

[Glides them over until they're under the tree's heavy boughs. He touches Belle's hand lightly as warning to let go before he hops off the broom so he can offer a hand when Belle steps down.]

[poisonista]

[ The gesture that follows is comforting (how many times has Rubato taken his hand just like this before and indulgently led him into places?) — and Belle doesn't hesitate in moving his hand back, only to be ready to extend it to Rubato when he jumps off- and carefully steps off himself.

His free arm raises to get the bag straps back onto his arm and he gives Rubato a "thank you" before he removes his hand and reaches for his magic pen to summon the white and red-lined blanket and mat he readied for the trip from his bag and have it fan out for them under the shade of the tree. No need to waste time fumbling with it.

The bag and basket within are placed atop the blanket— and he turns to gesture to Rubato to place his own items there too. Why carry them around needlessly? ]

No shoes on the blanket. We can set up on it, though I should like to walk around a bit, first.

[ He wants to take in the view! ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

Bien sûr! A walk around here will reward you with many beautiful sights! --Just a moment, then.

[Setting his own bag down so he can start magicking items out of it--they dance out and change size back to normal--more pillows and cushions, wooden trays, plates, silverware--there will be food of course but that can wait until they're back. If there's food in Belle's bag he'll go ahead and hang both of theirs up in the tree so no animals can get into it in the meantime.]

Et voila. Shall we, then?

[electricflock]

[watching him do yoga from one of Rose's windows, in a red shirt that's way too big for him]

What are you doing...

[poisonista]

[ Don't worry, he's wrapping up- he finishes up with a sukhasana, so he's sitting and just calmly meditating when he hears Muffin, and gives him a smile. ]

Were you watching the entire time?

[electricflock]

[shakes his head]

Didn't see whole thing. Um, last couple minutes?

[poisonista]

I was meditating- though before that, I was doing yoga. It's a form of exercise. Not unlike what you may have gotten yourself.

[ :) ]

[electricflock]

[he got to pass out for 12 hours is what he got]

I don't stretch that much when I exercise. Am naturally flexible.

[poisonista]

You aren't human, though. That's to be expected. Most of the people who aren't human that I know have excellent flexibility and physical attributes.

[electricflock]

Don't mean because I’m not human. Mean because am gryphon.

[poisonista]

[ Muffin!! Why are you so cute. ]

I know. Is it the same in this body of yours?

[electricflock]

Yeah, um, still bendy.

[poisonista]

You should still do yoga. It's more fun with company, after all.

[electricflock]

Maybe next time I’m at gym.
