Open Yellow Roses Ignites

[Vader Hume]

Open After. Yellow Rose for @Zoe Tsuji ​

​

Vader twisted the flask of coffee open and sipped the hot drink lightly. The flask was magical and keeping it nicely warm. He was looking for the next person and headed into the student lounge where he'd been told she might be. He drank a few more sips as he glanced around, putting it away when he was sure he spotted at her. The teen rubbed his eyes lightly as he approached her, his mind had been preoccupied that night preventing him from sleeping much at all, which only added to his current lack of sleep. The boy was sure he had the right person, "Are you Zoe Tsuji?" Vader asked tentatively, visibly nervous, stopping himself from nervously running his hand through his hair, if only to prevent messing up the flower crown which sat on his head.​

After the embarrassment of how her rose from Ted had been delivered, Zoe had made her way down to the lounge to calm down. She still didn't want to hang out in her dorm for fear of running into Stella, but the pink rose she was now carrying around brought a new dilemma. It felt rude to talk to her ex girlfriend about rebuilding their friendship while carrying around a token of affection from someone else. There was nothing to be done about it, so Zoe was just sitting down with a book, hoping for a peaceful afternoon. She was absorbed in reading about centaurs when she heard her own name, looking up in surprise. Zoe didn't know who else would have sent her a rose, but at least this one was being delivered in a more subtle manner than her last. She nodded, closing her book quickly. "That's me." Zoe said with a smile. "Do you have a rose for me?"

Vader gave a little smile when the girl confirmed he'd found the right person. He nodded in response to her question as he reached into the basket and pulled out a yellow rose, he searched a little longer and found the note that went along with it. Vader held both out to her, "Just one yellow rose with it's accompanying note," the boy stifled a yawn after he'd spoken, rubbing his eyes lightly with his elbow as he waited for the girl to take both items from him. ​

[Zoe Westwick]

Zoe accepted the rose, a little worried about how sleepy the boy delivering it seemed. Those worries fell away to nothing at once though, as soon as she read the note. It was almost exactly what she had sent Stella, and Zoe felt bolstered by nervous, hopeful energy. She missed her best friend, and if they could... get back to normal again, that would mean so much. Looking down the table, Zoe tried to see if she could spot Stella anywhere nearby, both nervous and all at once eager to have this conversation at once.

Vader watched as the girl took the note and rose from him and looked at both. He stood a little awkwardly waiting for her to really react so he'd know what to do next. When it appeared that she had finished reading the note and was looking about to find someone, like whomever had set the rose Vader cleared his throat and took the camera in his hand. "Would you mind if I took a picture of you with your rose? You can pick it up from accio in a few days," Vader told her nervously, she seemed nice enough but he could never tell how most people would react to his question.​

 

[Zoe Westwick]

Zoe was so anxious and excited for her possible reunion with Stella that she had almost forgotten the delivery boy was still there until he spoke again. "Oh!" She said quickly, looking back at him. She glanced at her rose uncertainly... if the conversation with Stella didn't go well, Zoe wasn't sure she would want to see a picture of herself with this rose again any time soon, but... well, it couldn't hurt, she supposed. "Sure." Zoe smiled, trying to brush away her worries as she held the flower up for the photo.
