Apanii Sildur is a lighthearted mare, who more often than not would prefer to keep her hooves busy, rather than allwoing herself to languish. As such, when not moving amidst the dancers for the Faire and attempting to learn new talents and techniques, she may find her way to helping one of the vendors mind their stall or offering her assistance to artists that need wares moved or showcased or otherwise handled when they could not. Today the matter of dancing was set aside for helping out amidst the additional flower stalls, for the florists appeared to be short hooved in the wake of so many requests for flower arrangements, bouquets, and now the rather frequently requested floral fortune.
Which, what? Flower fortunes? That was certainly new to her. Some spoke of an oracle, who read flower stems and petals rather than tea leaves, some spoke of allowing a true heart to select a bouquet and the reading the flowers they had picked... There was no one way how to do it, but one thing was clear: nearly everyone WANTED a flower fortune. Which meant more flower wranglers, even if they were only part-time florists or horticulture enthusiasts, even if they were perhaps outside their usual field of expertise.
Which, Apanii was, but not by much. She love her slowly building butterfly garden and beds.. She loved what she was learning of flower language, and today she was going to use her new skills to help others. Just as soon as someone stepped up to the stall and asked for it, anyway. For now she contented herself with smiling and calling soft greetings.
"Hello, hello! Bouquets, flower crowns, and flower fortunes here! Please feel free to look around!"

Crossing the green lands, there was whispers of this faire festival. It peeked his interest. There wasn't much information being told about it from far away. As Makoto seemed to travel closer, there were more talks than whispering. ''hm...." Thoughts came across his mind as his roots made imprints into the ground. "I wonder if these... Flower Fortunes will bring Masami and myself much closer."
They were already pretty close, but all he could think about is improving himself and their relationship. Maybe...just maybe having foals someday. As he walked along the shops, he looked at all of the options he could ever think of as gifts for Masami. He was mid thought when there was laughter and enjoyment going on down the way with a group of dancers. Makoto smiled as he enjoyed seeing everyone at the faire enjoy the scenery.
His ear twitched and moved hearing a voice offering help at a near by stall for flower fortunes. "Ah, just what I need." He moved between other Soquili as it was mostly crowded. Makoto looked at all of the options and became nervous. All that he ever wanted to do was impress his queen and make her feel loved. "I...uh...may need your assistance." As he called out to the florist.

Wishing another sweet faced mare well as she passes over the bouquet the young lady had selected, Apanii squeaks softly at the sudden arrival of a figure so large it seems to cast a shadow at the corner of the booth. The voice is deep and soft, polite, so she's not intimidated -not exactly?- until she turns around and...
Wow.
Who knew they made males like that?
The stranger standing before her is proud and tall, with reaching antlers and wings trimmed with living branches... and an assortment of flowers blooming over him... and in general all she can think is 'Wow, in the Spring he must be surrounded by butterflies.'
Which is so very cool, but not at all helpful. Right. Get it together. What had he said? He needed assistance.
"I can help!" She says cheerfully, giving him a bright-eyed look. "Ah, do you want to tell me about the lady in question... Or ask a question, perhaps, and I'll see what flowers speak to me about it? Or do you want to pick what you think she'd like, and I'll tell you a bit about what they might mean for you both, or about you? There are a few ways to approach it, so whatever you feel is best."

Makoto gave a soft smile to the mare. Thankfully she was eager to help him and it seemed she was going to make it easy on him. "Well, let me explain what she's like and you can help me from there." His eyes looked over all of the options available to him and noticed she was looking at his antlers and flowers on his back. "Masami, is her name. She looks like a soft pale sunset, her hair is orange, and she has the most beautiful face." His eyes gleamed speaking about the love of his life. "Where I am from, she has made trinkets and beautiful Kanzashi. Our village loves her shop and she is great company."
Makoto looked at all of the options again and trying to make sure other customers had room to see into the shop as well. "Do you think there is a set to compliment her?" There were so many things to decide on, he was glad to have her around to help. After realizing through a bit of the conversation, he never introduced himself. "I do apologize, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Makoto. I am pleased to have your assistance in deciding what is best for my Masami."

Apanii is doing everything short of wagging her tail to indicate she is here and helpful and friendly, bright-eyed and soft-spoken and patient, but keen. Her general cheerful nature shines through at times like this, even if she gets a little distracted by the flowers and details. Still, she thrives in her current set up and that shows through how busy the booth has been all day, or so she personally likes to think.
Though the stranger is, quite uniquely made, his needs are somewhat similar to the last few that have visited the florists in the area so she feels comfortable in her capabilities. When the stallion confirms there is a mare, she buckles down so she doesn't excitedly squeal and clamor for information, reminding herself that details will be volunteered if she can just be patient for a heartbeat or three.
"Great! I can definitely do that." She asserts softly, listening to his description with keenly focused ears. "Hmm, well if she looks like a sunset and she is quite beloved, I think we can find a good combination of flowers for her. For example, these peach tulips mean warmth, sincerity, and genuine appreciation, which I think speak to how the herd must feel about her and compliment her appearance. But tulips can also mean perfect love and elegance, so in a shade of pink they would convey joy and kindness as well. Sunflowers indicate loyalty, adoration and joy, so they would also work nicely... and again, this selection is all based on warm and cheerful shades of yellow and orange that would compliment her, from the sound of things. Roses are always an easy call, in red they can be deep love and courage and in yellow happiness and light... Which could both be to convey how you feel about her and what you wish for her."

Makoto’s smile grew bigger as he listened to the mare. She had every intention of doing her job and he appreciated that so much. He listened as she explained every flower and detail own to a T, it was like she read everything he felt about Masami and who she is. It... it was perfect. "You.. have done a fantastic job here helping me figure out this beautiful gift. All three of those sound so perfect for her. The roses, tulips, and the sunflowers, they all remind me of her. " Makoto's heart fluttered in his chest. He was always so deep into his work, that he never thought he would feel this much for someone like Masami.
Overhearing another stallion looking at gift options and what to decide, Makoto called out to him. "My friend here would be more than willing to help you decide which Flower Fortune would be perfect for your love. She read my words like a book when I described mine." He looked back the mare helping him. "Please, what you've described for Masami is perfect, that is what I'll go home with for her." Awaiting her response, him and the other stallion had a small conversation about what was chosen for her. He seemed like he was over the moon for his love just as Makoto is for Masami.

Apanii makes a pleased trilling sound when Makoto agrees to the selections, shooting him a quicksilver grin before she begins sorting through blooms to pick the perfect ones to layer together. Not only is she after the best flowers, but she's eying the shades to make sure the most pleasing approximation of a sunset is represented in the selection when all is said and done. She starts with the red roses and pair of sunflowers, then works her way into the peach and pink tulips and then the yellow roses.
When all was said and done, the set up was such that the softest colors are on the outside and they get more vibrant as one moves to the middle of the bouquet. Careful to wrap and tie them prettily before she offers them to Makoto, the dark mare stops to consider the flowers with a distant expression.
"A deep connection blooms into abundance. Stay true to your heart to find both passion and lasting harmony." She hears herself saying as she looks at the flowers, then cuts her eyes to Makoto with a bright smile when she hears him recommend her to another patron.
'That was a little odd...'
"I wish you and your lady the very best, my friend. Thank you for spending some time here with me."

Makoto beamed at the gift as she handed it to him. "Thank you so much again, you've been so helpful." He placed the gift in his pouch and patted it softly. "Maybe we shall meet again someday, my friend."
He was thrilled about being able to find Masami the best gift possible. Moving out of the way and nodding his head towards the mare, he made his way through all of the shops. The lands where this festival was, it was lively and beautiful. The people really made this area what it is. If all of the shops there had a worker like he had the pleasure of meeting, they will go very far. She gave such care and love to his needs.
"Maybe, again someday."

"I'm glad I was able to meet and help you today. Please convey my best regards to your herd and your lady." Apanii offered a bright farewell with a soft smile, her mind still reeling in the wake of the strange premonition like feeling that had swept over her when the bouquet was complete.
That was not normal... she would be hard pressed to say she'd felt anything like it before. Then again, even as she tried to grasp the feeling it seemed to slip away like water.
"I would like that a lot. I will wish you well until then!"
His footsteps retreated and another potential patron stepped forward.
"Good afternoon! Fine flowers and flower fortunes here... How may I help you?"
