[PQ+] I'm a real tough kid

Mateo

Should'a seen what I wore
I had a cane and a party hat

Mateo, Flora will find, is very good at ignoring questions he doesn't want to answer (especially when his writer is double posting and forgot about it, d'oh), though he nonetheless preens under her compliments. "Floral arrangements are a common ask in Stormbreak, though this is my first fountain." Or five now, as it happens.

Whilst Ronin works on the fountain's structure, he organises the leftover stones and puts his thoughts into action, hoping to create a beautiful mosaic of a leviathan swimming overhead whilst a kraken curls its tentacles beneath, creating a circular image to border the mouth of the fountain. "Do you think that works?" he asks Flora as they begin.

I was the king of this hologram
where there's no such thing as getting out of hand

Flora

"Ewwwuhh." Flora groans as if Ronin had implied something filthy, her nose wrinkling.

Slinging an arm around her brother's waist hey listen we're all just doing our best out here, the queen grins and leans her cheek against him. "Well, if word of this gets out maybe you'll be getting a bunch more orders." She hums, waggling her eyebrows before peeling herself away so that they could get through the last leg.

The mosaic comes together beautifully, with both sea monsters easily visible from far away, only for their details to utterly come alive up close. The last few remaining stones had been thoughtfully saved rather than lazily yeeted into the design, and as Mateo added the final floral touches, the Doubletake couldn't help but think that actually it might be the best of all the fountains.

"Thanks so much for all your help, you guys." The queen calls, her focus on Ronin and Mateo specifically before she widens her arms to address the rest of the NPCs. "Well? What're you all still doing here? Go! Drink!"

What a shame,
didn't want to be the one that got away
