Elizabeth had thought long and hard about the request for 'rainbow themed' offerings for Frey. Having never met the herald, she didn't have the slightest inkling as to what they might like. She knew they were partial to nature and sex, but that didn't give her any idea except flowers. And she was trying not to be too basic. However, an idea had quite literally fallen in her lap as she'd been reading a particularly interesting book on a hillside. As if sent by Frey themself, a feather had landed perfectly in the middle of her pages. Her eyes had lit up with excitement as she dropped everything to search out more of the colorful plumage. It had taken her all afternoon, but by the end, she had a rainbow of brightly hued feathers. Some were solid while others had stripes or specks. One even contained an inky black that changed colors in the light, like oil on water. 

So with her bundle of quills in hand, Elizabeth joined Deimos at the shrine. She gave him a warm smile, setting her offering on the altar in a fan of every color imaginable. "I didn't have many ideas, but I thought Frey might appreciate the poetry." Especially considering the fact that birds often used their bright feathers as ways to entice mates. Her eyes scanned the arrangement of designated colored produce, nodding in admiration. "You definitely went about it very practically." It wasn't an insult, but an astute observation of the methodical organization of each component which didn't surprise her coming from the serious Warden.

Realize this,
