A Rainbow Among the Roses (Intro/Open to 2)

✧ Allowing her footsteps to make delicate tapping sounds upon the decadent stones that made up the floor's surface, the guildmistress of the ravine of roses would slowly advance through one of the larger corridors of the stronghold, her eyes set on the crystalline structures that remained intact upon the walls and the reverberation of her heels. It had been only a few days since she had returned from embarking on a one-hundred-year job; while it had not proven to be the hardest job she had ever been on, the payout for challenging a dragon proved to be quite worth the time and energy in the eyes of both her wallet and her decorative visions. But looking for a spot to put the remnants of dragon scales on display was much tougher than she had expected it to have been when she was making her way down the Mysterious Canyon's cavern layers- everywhere she wished to put them looked weird in her rosy-colored eyes, and the pea-sized attention spans of her companions seemed to be indifferent to her requests of assistance in decoration. "The three of you are extra distracted today, aren't you? ♡ We've gotta find a place for these dragon scales where everyone can see them, they are just so pretty~! ✰ Pretty please help me~," the pink-haired girl of crystals and roses would talk to her pets as if they were little babies, their eyes coming in contact with hers while they would continue to converse about, well, mud and magic trucks, "Maybe we could try putting them out by the stairs next to the bar, ooh~! ♡ Let's go~! ✰"

Gracefully picking up her pace and beginning to levitate into the air, Desirée would attempt to steal the attention of the bio-luminescent organisms that floated behind her slowly with fragile pops of refracting holy lights, her eyes wavering between a pink color and gold. "Damn, not even one word~? ♡ You guys wouldn't stop talking if I took away your treats..," she would speak into the air behind her as the pets would gasp and bunch closer to her, almost as if they thought she would actually do it, "I would never take away your treats, I love the three of you too much! ♡" It was true- she would never give anything but the best care to her babies, even if they caused a giant guild ship to crash into the ground. Petting the three of them as they would ease back into a comfortable float around her shoulders, their attention, alongside the slayer's, would be quickly directed to an echoing knock of sorts- it would seem to have originated a few levels higher than where she was in the guild's corridors, accompanied by a sweet scent Desirée was able to pick up with her slayer senses. "Hm~, ✰" she would quietly make a noise of fascination as she would quickly flutter up the stairs, only to freely levitate up the center of the ravine toward the tip of the top of the barrier, "if curiosity killed the cat, well.. I hope I'm a dog~ ✰ Or maybe a.. cute little bird! Moo~! ✰"

Laughing alongside her companions as she would reach the peak of the fluctuating pink bubble, her eyes would spot one of her newer guildmates prior to the familiar newcomer. "Shannon, diid you hear a knocking sound up here? ♡ It was a little quiet but more delicate than anything," she would call out to the girl and her companion, Lupa, which she would focus on, "was it you, you precious little thing you~? Awe~! ✰" However, upon speaking out to the two, the similar scent she had picked up on prior would stand out to lead her eyes to a certain direction; turning to face in that direction whilst continuing to float mid-air, her eyes and a fluctuation of bright lights from her forehead crystal would bring her to sight a slightly familiar face and what seemed to be a small fox of some sorts! However, upon closer realization of the stranger's quirks outside the bubble, her eyes would immediately slip into bright gold. "No way, it can't be~, ♡" she would quietly speak to herself in awe, a rosy-colored blush forming upon her cheeks as she would clasp her hands together before opening her lips once more in excitement, "Sakura..? Sakura! ✰"

Having recognized her old friend's promotional activities when it came to her musical career as an idol, a feeling of butterflies would manifest within her stomach as she would quickly flutter across the skies toward the doll- it had been far too long since the pair of ex-Black Rose aces had acquainted, and the crystalline queen had so much to catch up on! With her hands wide open as she would ripple through the barrier, Desirée would almost squeal in happiness as she would attempt to pluck her old friend from the ground in the form of an ultimate mega hug from the skies above. The pink exceed that would float beside the guildmistress would seem to wag its tail in excitement as well- even though it was even longer since the Vintermyr-born animal had seen the doll, she still recognized the fellow slayer too! "It's about time you've come and seen me, oh, I'm so happy~! ♡" she would exclaim within her elation, " and proud, my fellow idol you~! ✰"
