Tonatiuh Adriata -a bright colored stallion that was formerly a Knight of the herd known as Sunwater- was both far from his home and his original calling. Though, it could be said, there were worse things that could happen. Truthfully, he rather doubted he could be any happier for it than he already was, though perhaps those from his former life would have a hard time believing it. Still, as strange as it may sound, the Market was a bustling, entertaining, irresistible little hub of action and intrigue and what he was coming to understand was 'everyday life'. Tona was pleased to be a part of it, even as a temporary installment.
Watching over the combined efforts of several very beautiful, more than a little intimidating ladies was no small feat. After making careful notes on the meanings of the individual flowers and colors, some basic bouquet structures, and keenly absorbing the advice on what the meanings might be when combined, he was a ready as he could hope to be. So he stationed himself at the flower stall, glanced over the selection of blooms, and braced himself for whatever the day would bring him.
Now to just hope no one scary showed up for flower predictions or, well... He was having a bit of a hard time imagining a floral emergency, but surely those existed, right? Whatever they might be like, he didn't want any part of one.
"Only good flower fortunes, please." He mumbles softly to himself, flicking his tail and pitching his ears forward hopefully. "Only good."

Thandiel had decided to come all the way to the market, to stretch her hooves. She knew her alphas would understand and she imagined her twin was busy with a certain stallion who she was clearly smitten with. It caused a smile to come to her lips, even if said stallion tended to be a bit rough around the edges. So she knew that she could go for a little exploration, no one would have any problems with it.
As she was wandering around, she happened to hear some mumbling. From under her transparent veil, a curious look came her. Well, she wanted to see what was going on, so she followed the sound, soon coming upon a flower stall, with all kinds of beautiful flowers. She bent closer to the flowers, taking a whiff, they all smelled amazing. However, she did eventually look up to the one manning it, he looked a bit anxious. Well, that would certainly not do, she needed to see what she could do to help. Plus, a bouquet of flowers would be something she wouldn't mind getting.
"Hello, is everything alright? These flowers are quite lovely, if I do say so myself. The herd I am a member of, flowers are one of the things that hold a special place for the alphas and their families. Well, along with stars,"she explained. She wondered if he was helping someone else who was not here, it did make sense in her mind. At least, it would make sense why they seemed so unsure, but maybe it was just his first time selling flowers, he might be used to growing them. However, if he wanted to share what was bothering him, she would be glad to listen. (WC: 291)

Until something comes along to distract him, the young Knight resolves to stay busy with work. Different blooms were arranged by color and sometimes the length of stem, some gathered in vases of varying heights and others arranged in a bunch, often with a longer stem, sprawled in flat baskets. Noting some had fallen out of their arrangement, Tona dips his head to gently nudge some flowers back into order, making a soft sound of enjoyment at the touch of soft petals.
The sound of a stranger's voice has his head rising, a polite smile rising on his face. "Good day Miss, and thank you for your kind words. I'll be sure to pass them on to the florists whose hard work you see before you. I am afraid I'm just a friend that is filling in to the best of his ability."
He steps around the side of the booth, giving her room to browse the flowers while remaining close enough to be of assistance. "I've quite a few friends that hold the stars in high regard. And while flowers are somewhat new to me, I have enjoyed learning their meanings and the interesting language that they can represent. Can I help you with a bouquet or arrangement request? It is hard to resist a beautiful gift that is also a lovely message."

Thandiel was happy that she had not startled him, having been a little worried that he might be so deep in what he was doing, that he might not have heard her come over. She observed him, just to make sure he didn't jump or seem perturbed by her appearance, but it seemed everything seemed alright. She knew sometimes she could be very quiet, it was just how she and her twin sister were sometimes. So hearing her just speaking up, well it could sometimes catch people off guard. This stallion was not one of those she wanted to surprise, so she was glad when he gave her the smile.
"Ah, I had been debating if the flowers were ones you grew yourself or if you were manning them for another. That is very kind of you to be helping friends of your's, especially if they could not be here themselves. They are quite beautiful, so they definitely should be here to brighten the days of all those who happen past. I know they have for me. Also, if this stall is anything to go by, you are doing quite well covering for them. I do appreciate your passing my compliments on to them,"she responded brightly. She had wondered if she could make any new friends today, maybe she had. She looked over the flowers, as she took each of them in. She flushed a bit when she heard what he had said.
"I have to admit, I do not know much about the meanings behind the different flowers. If you wouldn't mind helping me to make a nice bouquet, I would appreciate it. Surprise me with the meaning, maybe chosen at random, see what the fates want me to know,"she grinned. Who knew, after all, life was full of surprises, she thought to herself. So she was open to what life wanted for her. (WC: 317, Overall for me: 608 )

Tonatiuh made a thoughtful sound and swiveled his ears, inclining his head slightly as he conceded the matter. "Truth be told, there are a few very skilled ladies with absolutely incredible gardens under their care. I am dazzled by them. When they choose to sell or trade flowers here at the Faire, it's quite a compliment I think, and a unique opportunity to take home some of their stunning blooms. That being said, I am deeply flattered to be trusted with their hard work while they attend to other matters.
And he would do his best to do right by them, which was why he had studied their lessons about flower meanings and languages so fiercely. Of course, then he was complimented on his own hard work and he can't help but duck his head bashfully.
"Oh, thank you." He rumbled, shifting lightly on his hooves in a way that implied a bit of a nervous shuffle. "As for the meanings, I'm happy to share... but I think a bit of it is supposed to be a mystery, if you're seeking a flower fortune? So perhaps we could approach it like this, do any of them stand out to you? Because if you pick a few, I can tell you what they mean? Or if you want to ask a question I guess I'll do my best to sort of, zone out and pick what feels correct? Or relevant? It is a bit of an art more than a science."

Thandiel could not blame him for being amazed by his gardening friends, she did the same for the members of the herd who had a green hoof, so to speak. She was more of a warrior, so she always marveled at those who could make flowers and other plants bloom. She hoped she could meet his friends someday, she was sure their gardens would be quite a treat to behold, if the flowers that were here were anything to go by. She continued to sniff those closest to her, the smells were just amazing.
"I can't say I am surprised that they have incredible gardens, maybe one day I will get to see them myself. For now, I am quite content taking some of these lovelies home, I am sure the herd will be over the moon to see them. They must really trust you, if they are allowing you to act as caretaker to their blooms, while they are busy,"she responded to him. As he spoke about the flower fortune, she looked thoughtful, she figured that was a reasonable way to handle it. She could certainly pick ones that called out to her, maybe randomly picking some by pointing to ones with her eyes closed.
"I think I am going to let the pull channel through what pulls my hoof to it, while I close my eyes. With all the lovely flowers, I don't know if I would be able to pick any other way. So I give you enough to work with, I think I will point to five of them,"she responded to him. She closed her eyes, then pointed at each of the five in turn, before opening her eyes, to see what he set aside of what she had pointed to. (WC: 297, Overall for me: 905)
17. Violet - Modesty and humility
10. Daffodil - Renewal and fresh starts
2. while Lily - Purity, devotion, virtue
11. red Hyacinth - Sincerity and steadfastness
19. pink Camellia - Admiration and perfection
