I know I've been posting often lately and I'm sorry for that if it's annoying, but I have to, need to ask this now.

Which one of you sent me this rose?

[A picture here of Issei holding a silver rose; he's blushing profusely, naturally.]

The card only says 'From Y.' It's beautiful.

I don't mean to sound not appreciative. Because I am, truly, lighter spirits and all.

But a rose.

[deadly_garden]

Well of course. The rose is my flower, and a single silver one means "life." It seemed most appropriate.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's very flattering even when I don't get the 'life' part.

[deadly_garden]

Also I was hoping it would make you blush as much as it is, I quite like it when you do.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Why, why would that be something anyone was looking for?

[deadly_garden]

Mostly out of amusement, I must be honest, but also because you seem... most alive in those moments. I think you're too pale sometimes, blushing brings some color to your cheeks.

[Look who's blushing on camera.] Is this better for you?

Issei I hope you know what that sounds like [text]

[deadly_garden]

Just imagining you blushing was perfect but yes, this is very nice. I'm glad you like my gifts, though I must admit I far more expected a reaction to the plush than the rose.

/ruins everything. [Always video]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I-I'm still in shock over that one. Anyway, I... I don't know what 'anyway' is meant to be, my thoughts are all out of order.

Pft, hardly ruining~

[deadly_garden]

You're not the only one on the community that was fond of him, and certainly not the only one that misses him. I thought you might like a replacement for the one you donated.

You're fully allowed to take a moment to sort everything out, there's no hurry.

I love this too much.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You are by far too kind, mysterious stranger. I thought, um, well, if there was anything I can do to repay you b-besides blushing on camera...

So do I.

[deadly_garden]

For you to love that plush as much as you loved the first will be all the thanks I require.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I will absolutely treasure it, I promise.

[deadly_garden]

Good. Do let me know when the rose fades, and I'll replace it. Shouldn't happen for quite awhile though, I breed them to last.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

B-B-But really, I shouldn't be deserving of such attention!

[deadly_garden]

...Why would you not?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's more than enough to receive one gift from a mysterious donor.

[deadly_garden]

Well yes, but that has no bearing on how deserving you are.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It has a little...

[deadly_garden]

You'll have to allow me to disagree with you then.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can't argue with that.

[deadly_garden]

Not at all, which means if I choose to give you a gift every now and again you can't stop me.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'll suffer through it.

[deadly_garden]

Well, I don't like the idea of you suffering due to my friendship.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It was a joke.
