Good morning, Tighnari!
I hope your team if faring well during these festivities. What a welcome change from the last few days...
If you have some time, I have a present that I would like to give to you.

If you're not averse to the cold, perhaps we could meet outside? It's been a long time since I was anywhere that it could snow, so a part of me wants to enjoy it while I can...
[ Ori makes her way outside promptly, ducking out of Sphinx's room with a present tucked under one arm. She had gone to fetch a warmer coat with Arthur earlier in the game, which means she's properly outfitted for a walk in the snow! Thankfully, she runs a little warm again. Fiendish bloodline and all that...
When she spots Tighnari (and it really is quite easy to spot him, especially with everything blanketed in white snow), she waves with her free arm and walks briskly to meet him halfway— ]
Tighnari, I'm here!
[ —or she would, were she not instead getting her horns caught in some inconveniently low-hanging branches. Oops! ]

[ she's beauty, she's grace ]
Oh - wait, hold still!
[ tighnari rushes quickly toward her. thankfully his normal clothing is well insulated, but he's procured a comfortable cloak to wear to stave off the cold as well. anyway, he begins carefully, gently disentangling her. while trying not to laugh. ]
Does this happen often?

No, I'm...
[ she chuckles, something to say how she's genuinely amused at herself. and dutifully, she holds still and waits, though she can't help but notice how close he's standing - out of necessity - and how careful he's being! ]
I'm usually too short...

[ she feels just a bit embarrassed for getting caught like this, but it's so nice of him to not outwardly laugh at her. ]
Y-You think so? Maybe I'll have to cast Speak with Plants and have some words with this tree, later...

I'll do my best...
[ She breathes a sigh of relief once she's finally branch-free, before smiling back at him. ]
Speak with Plants is another one of my spells. I use it to communicate with flora... Though in my experience, the ones here can be very angry.
[ Oh, but before she forgets - she holds out a present towards him! ]

That sounds incredible. I speak with plants often, though they don't generally speak back. Not audibly, at least.
[ but there are ways to communicate with living creatures that do not involve speaking. also, right, presents!! tighnari smiles, and offers her one as well. it's small, and wrapped in yatagarasu colors. ]
Right, thank you. Shall we open them together?

Let's! Though... I'm sorry in advance if it ends up being a strange kind of present...
[ If Tighnari ends up receiving the third spicy adult coloring book she's unwittingly given out today, she will simply perish.
Their gifts are exchanged, and Tighnari would find a packet of flower seeds in his! ]

Wow, it's perfect!
[ —said in near-unison with him. ]
Hah... Really, though... What are the odds that we would both receive seeds like this? What a delightful surprise!

[ very heterosexual of them. ]
Maybe... If the snow clears up, we can plant them together...?

I-Is that so? Maybe I should... Um, visit? I don't think I've really been into any of the other dorms, now that I think about it...
[ she is just LIKE THIS. ]
Of course I want to! Especially if you have a conservatory. The Sphinx dormitory doesn't get a lot of natural light...

A walk does sound lovely, and then maybe a warm drink afterwards! We've been spending a lot of time all nice and cozy in those game rooms, so it'll be good to stretch our legs out a bit! I'll do my best to steer clear of any low-hanging branches, too...
[ She sweeps an arm out, bidding them to begin their wintery walk. ]
It doesn't snow much where you're from, then, I take it?

No, not at all.
[ tighnari chuckles, beginning to stride forward, his boots crunching over the snow. ]
Sumeru is part rainforest, part desert, so neither region is suitable for it. The desert gets cold at night, but it's too dry for snow. It's quite beautiful.
