He glanced up from the box to offer the Commander an awkward shrug. "Well, tis the season an' shit. Sir," he added hastily, remembering that this guy was a demigod who could squish him. Even if he was kind of a floury demigod at the moment. And indeed, as he wrinkled his nose and pulled the lid off the box and removed the contents they turned out to be:
A bouquet of stunning flowers in a small vase. The blooms were the unmistakeable Psychotria Elata and Phallus Impudicus, and there was a short note attached.
Long have I thought of you in this way. Meet me in the Undergrove at the next full moon.

Looking decidedly uncomfortable and with an awkward blush on his cheeks, Tal cleared his throat and backed away from the vase, shifting awkwardly from foot to foot and looking anywhere but at the package's recipient.
