You know, my darling, come next month, you'll have been here for a year with me. Time does fly. But this is your first Flower Fesitval since you came just after the last one.

[mamorus]

The flower festival? How is it celebrated?

[ Has he really been here so long? When he's with Usagi, time seems to stand still, as if frozen by their very love. It's amazing to think twelve full months have passed. ]

[lightthedarkness]

Well, for starters, we need to get you a yukata.

[mamorus]

That shouldn't be too hard. I've seen shops that have clothing inspired by Japan. I assume you have one too if you're confident I can find one.

[lightthedarkness]

I've been going to him for years and recommending everyone to him when they want a kimono. But if you have someone you're welcome to go to whomever, my love.

[mamorus]

Him? Is it someone you know personally?

[lightthedarkness]

I'm a faithful and loyal customer who has brought him quite a few new customers, so let's just say I get a lot of discounts.

[mamorus]

I don't mind. It's not like I know someone else. Is he open on weekends, or do I need to make time throughout the week?

[lightthedarkness]

He's open. You always look so handsome in yukata, I'm excited to be getting you one.

[mamorus]

If the clothing is so traditionally Japanese, are the activities too? It should give me an advantage, even if it's my first time there.

[lightthedarkness]

Well, no, that much is still more traditional to this place. But there is dancing. [And he so knows her partialness for that.] And all sorts of couple things and cake eating, high tea, and of course there's the nomination for Flower King and Queen.

[mamorus]

So, it's a romantic festival.

[ Obviously, he can see why Usagi would be so interested in this event, now. ]

I'll get an outfit and be ready.

[lightthedarkness]

It's Elios' festival so you bet. Lots of people get married at this festival.

[Or propose.] I've planned a couple of weddings at this.

[mamorus]

Does that mean I should suspect that you'll be busy for the next few months?

[lightthedarkness]

Admittedly, I've got two weddings in summer. One for Namine and Arden and one for Eugene and Rapunzel.

[mamorus]

That was decided before this Flower Festival.

[ So there's the likelihood that more will come after. ]

Then we'll be sure to celebrate the festival the right way before you become too busy.

[lightthedarkness]

Worry not, my love, I will clear the entire festival for you if you want.

[mamorus]

I know you like to spend time with everybody.

[ Not that they can't spent time with people together. ]

[lightthedarkness]

I do, but I like being around you. But you could be there with me.

[mamorus]

I think that can be arranged.

[lightthedarkness]

Somehow, I didn't doubt that.
