MAEA
Blushing a pretty scarlet at the compliments, Maea tried and failed not to squirm like an abashed school girl. "I used to, when I was younger... never in front of an audience though. That.. was the first time." Which either meant that she was a genius or that the competition wasn't much to speak of. It didn't matter either way, of course, not when Liam was saying such nice things about her already.
Following his gaze, she nodded slowly in agreement. Just then, something red just beneath her field of vision registered, causing her to look down. And there, sprouting from the seam between two pavement stones, was a single, crimson, gold-thorned...
Sucking in a gasp, Maea fumbled for Liam's arm, grasping his sleeve to simultaneously tug and pat at him for immediate attention as much as to prevent him from taking a step forward. "Liam – !" Suddenly she was grinning, giggling unabashedly like she hadn't in years. "Yeah. I'd say we've done miraculously!"
Crouching down to cup the flower between her palms, pale skirts pooled around her like a snowdrift gone astray into spring. There was a reverence in the gesture, and something painfully desperate in the faint tremor of those pale fingers. "You should take it," she murmured, hastily tucking the hands away beneath her arms. "I'm having all kinds of greedy and selfish thoughts right now." Bribery and bargaining chips and what a rose might do to buy her second chances flashed through her mind, seductive and very difficult to resist.

I see a new horizon, holding on to hope
Say goodbye to all my pain when it's time for me to go
