While walking to the Mother Tree to give their floxes some love, Sliced and Astrid conversed about their days and shared funny tales about their creatu.

It was a peaceful day and the two enjoyed the warm sunlight that caressed their skin. After Aream had arrived a couple of nights ago, with their bag full of goods, the two had decided to visit the Mother Tree during the day to get a better look at the items in stock.

Reaching the fields that surround the Mother Tree, the two laugh as they are tackled by their floxes and then chase them across the grassy lands in a game of tag. After tiring themselves out, Sliced and Astrid bid farewell to their floxes and walk the remainder of the way to the Mother Tree.

At its roots, the two notice Ink lazily sprawled against one of the larger roots and Aream nowhere in sight.

Seems I'm not the one you came to see today, how interesting!

Ink cheekily remarks before flicking their ears and taking a deep breath.

Nearing the guardian, the two Rescreatians come to realize that Ink had seemed to be resting, as their eyes had remained closed and they refused to move to greet them.

If you’re looking for Airy, he’s off in the fields helping some floxes prune their flowers. Dead and injured petals are a hassle to deal with, and I for one would rather not have to deal with pulling them off.

Sliced and Astrid both roll their eyes at Ink’s lazy drawl before asking the flox if any new birth flowers were ready to be plucked.

I’m sorry to say that no new flowers are ready to be harvested.  With the Full Moon still high in the sky, the Mother Tree has refused to release any flowers... not like I’ve tried to cut any down though.

Sliced and Astrid look at each other with unimpressed expressions before scowling at the guardian. Inks eyes open for the briefest of moments and they snicker at their obvious distaste before closing them again.

Oh, come on! Even I need a break from cutting the birth flowers! The Full Moon offers too many opportunities for relaxation. Plus it’s not like I’m purposefully avoiding my job. The Mother Tree needs time to recover too you know. How’d you like it if I constantly cut an arm or leg off of you?

Ink’s sarcastic voice echoes through the two’s heads, and they both give looks of sympathy to the tree.

Then again you two have helped quite a few floxes reach adulthood. My species population has increased 2 fold, and I suppose without your kindness I wouldn’t be as relaxed as I am today.

Ink admits finally while stretching their front limbs. Sitting up, they sweep their tail around and unfold the curled leafed tip.

Astrid and Sliced stare in amazement as two plain Birth Buds are laid at their feet. At Ink’s beckening to two then pick up their own and stare at the buds with awe.

I can’t thank you both enough for the love you offered to us floxes. It’s only fair you two should be able to create floxes made from your own dreams. 

Ink tilts his head and smiles a flox smile as Astrid and Sliced comment on the similarities between the two buds.

These two buds fell at the same time before the Full Moon came, and knowing how good of friends the two of you are, I figured they would be a perfect match for you both. It's said when two buds fall together they will share certain aspects. That means that they’ll have a connection that will go above and beyond.

Ink wags their tail happily at the end of their speech and then watches in relief as the two begin to pour their love and desires into the plain buds.

Congratulations Sliced, the feelings you pushed into the plain flower bud caused it to bloom! Atlas, it appears the bud went ahead and passed its flower stage and grew up into an adult flox! Born from your desires and wants, a beautiful Purple Water Lily has been created. Please continue to love this flox as it is a special partner that holds a piece of you inside it. (Ink and I thank you for using the custom service and are happy to have helped you create the perfect flox!)

Congratulations Astrid, the feelings you pushed into the plain flower bud caused it to bloom! Atlas, it appears the bud went ahead and passed its flower stage and grew up into an adult flox! Born from your desires and wants, a beautiful Pink and Yellow Dahlia has been created. Please continue to love this flox as it is a special partner that holds a piece of you inside it. (Ink and I thank you for using the custom service and are happy to have helped you create the perfect flox!)
