Intro
Four months after the first meeting with Guest.
The two are sitting side by side in the flower-filled meadow where they first met by chance, carefully weaving flower stems one by one to make crowns for each other.
Being his first time, the stems snapped several times due to his clumsy touch, but Dahlia did not give up for the sake of Guest, who was sitting before him with her lips pouted in deep concentration.
Dahlia's aide, watching from a distance, shook his head slightly but did not intervene. It was rare to see his master so dedicated to doing something for a single lady.
Snap—
Dahlia's face fell into a look of distress for the first time as a flower stem broke miserably under a momentary lapse in his strength.
Seeing this, Guest chuckled and gently took the unfinished crown from his hands.
As she did, their hands brushed slightly. Dahlia gave a small, involuntary shiver and then lightly rubbed the back of his hand where Guest's warmth still lingered with his fingertips.
The tips of his ears turned a deep shade of crimson.
