if there's one thing the gods love, it's tragedy
This had been the place where Sunjata had forsaken Safrin, had switched sides to Frey. In a way, its bittersweet, but also freeing – a space of recollection that he doesn’t visit as often as he wanted to. But he’s here now, steel gaze dancing along the rainbow road, the hues of colors slowly melding together like a kaleidoscope before his eyes. But something else distracts from the peacefulness of the strange colder Flowerbirth day.

A woman, tossing… What he can tell to be rocks or sticks or something into the air though for what purpose he can’t tell. These days, he’s far more likely to avoid conversation, but something about it intrigues him – the Flood stepping closer yet still keeping enough of his distance to not appear as a threat of any sort. She’s unfamiliar to him, not like that’s surprising given the past year of somewhat isolating himself. “Hey!” He calls out to her to get her attention – to not surprise her. “Need some help with… Whatever it is you’re doing?” He asks, flashing a slightly amused smile, one that tugs on the scar on his face as he raises a similarly scarred eyebrow in the stranger’s direction.

Listen, when Frey had told her to practice with projectiles, Flora hadn't really thought that would be a big deal. You just..threw things, and in her short life, the girl had gotten good at that. Cups, dishes, pillows at Enzo's head...and yet, standing amidst the rainbow-coloured rocks, she was finding that regardless of what she aimed at, she couldn't hit a single thing.

Spinning around at the sound of Sunjata's voice, Flora gasps with unveiled shock. Not only was this the tallest man she was sure she'd ever seen in her life, but those scars? Those eyes? 'Oh.' She have moans to herself, before trying to fix her face into an expression of attractive coyness. "I was...uhm.." Glancing over her shoulder at the smattering of rocks and sticks, Flora frowns, before turning back. "..It's a thing for Frey." She adds over the sudden blast of water.

The woman turns and there’s something somewhat familiar about her despite Sunjata’s inability to place it. He scans her face, spying that coyness that’s suddenly there, reflected in more amusement on his own scarred face. “A thing for Frey?” He asks, ever more intrigued. He takes a few steps closer, as to inspect the things she’s working with – rocks and sticks and wondering what exactly the goal was in this case.

I suppose you’re in luck then, given that I’m one of their demigods.” A brighter smile is given toward the woman, a flash of pale teeth as he settles in beside her, still trying to get a grasp of what she’s doing. “Are you trying to hit things or throw them?” He asks, cocking his head relatively avian-like as he tears his gaze away to look back at her, waving a lightning scarred hand in front of him to create some amount of water, enough to lift one of the sticks and send it up into the air.

"You're—" The girl tries to quiet the fluttering of butterflies and birds in her stomach as Sunjata nears. Looking at him with renewed interest, Flora's aqua eyes scan the scarring on his face (gods but he makes them look good), and the remarkable steel of his eyes. "Of course you are." She chuckles as if he'd been wearing a t-shirt that said as much. "Gods, you smell amazing." Flora adds, and as the words leave her mouth, she flushes and hides her mouth behind one of her hands.

"Yes." Flora says with a laugh. "Both, I suppose? I asked Frey for daggers to throw and so they said I needed to practice first." Glancing at the array of sticks and stones in time to see one lift up, held in a watery embrace. 'Okay show off.' She chuckles brightly.

"Why don't you give me a target and I'll see if I can hit it?"

Do I?” He asks as if he’s unaware – but the compliments from not only her have been heard and he’s surmised it to be just an additional perk from Frey as he’s grown stronger from that weak demigod he’d been stripped down into. Still, he hums a soft laugh as she hides away, as the flush overtakes her.

He nods as she explains what she is to do, though, and Sunjata steps past her, letting the stick fall from the watery grip he has on it to step over toward one of the larger rainbow hued rocks that sticks out of the ground. “Alright let’s see.” He rummages in his pocket for something, pulling out a ball of twine he’s kept with him for whatever reason, he gathers a few of the sticks and twines them together in a way that they might stand as a small target atop the rockery. And for added benefit, to give it a bit more of a larger appearance, he partially shifts his Pegasus shift in order to pluck three feathers from his set of tricolored wings to add to the top of it.

Once it’s set with a small rock to give it some weight as to not let it fall over immediately, Sunjata steps back toward Flora, gesturing to the pile of rocks at the ground. “Go ahead and pick up a few rocks and we’ll see if you can hit that little target there. And if you can, we’ll move on.” As if for emphasis (though without a rock to knock it over), Sunjata waves his hand again, summoning a small sphere of water, and tosses it through the air at the target only to have it drop a few inches before it, splattering against the rock and wetting the twine, sticks, and feathers in the process.

With a frown, Flora watches as Sunjata...starts an arts and crafts project? It was a good thing he was handsome, because she was beginning to wonder about this massively tall demigod, who smelled like lilacs and campfires, who had turned his back on her to make a...

..oh. Well that's handy.

"Wow." She murmurs, clearly as impressed as she was eager to try and tease more abilities out of him. "Anything you can't do?"

While she thought the answer was probably no, now was the time for her to prove what she couldn't do. Which was going to be to hit Sunjata's target. Picking up a rock and focusing more on looking cool than on her aim, the first projectile sailed harmless overtop of the figure. "Uh...that one doesn't count." She murmurs, trying to cover up her embarrassment with a laugh. Picking up another stone and not accounting at all for the fact that it was smaller, Flora dialled back her effort only to have that one land a few feet shy of the target.

"Ugh! How hard is it to throw a rock!"

I’d be giving up my secrets if I answered that.” Sunjata remarks playfully, though remains withdrawn in keeping his abilities well within himself. Sure, he could show off all of his shifts and the magic Frey has given him, but it would do little in actually trying to get her to hit a target. Unless, of course, that target was a dragon the size of a bus in which case he’d be frankly amazed if she missed that one.

He watches her rocks sail by with little judgement, hopefully preventing her from growing embarrassed at it. “You have to take into account the distance and the wind. And, of course, the shape of the rock and how it cuts through the air.” He tacks on, giving her a few things to think about. Another wave of water has him manipulating it into a line, to start where she typically went to throw the rock, and showing a curve that meets the target near the middle. “Try throwing it underhand and when we get you to hit them we can try something straighter to emulate a knife.” He turns the guideline curve into another sphere, as if to lead her by example as he tosses it underhand, watching it curve, before smacking into the rock once again, splattering the target with more water.

"Well I won't tell." Flora says in a way that she hopes sounds flirtatious. It probably doesn't, though. It isn't like she's had much practice.

"You have to take into account the distance and the wind." Flora mumbles childishly under her breath, before giving her head a shake that she let roll down into her shoulders. "Sorry, this is all really new to me, and it...I mean, it doesn't look like it should be hard, y'know?"

Watching as a curl of water appeared to show the right trajectory, Flora tilts her head and tries to listen as objectively as she could to what Sunjata was saying. Of course he could hit the target no problem, but then, he was a demigod. Or at least that's what Flora was telling herself.

"Okay okay." Taking another rock, Flora turns her hand so that she can toss it underhand. "Distance and wind. The wind is...in the air." Tossing this third stone, while she doesn't hit the target, she does come a good deal closer and it doesn't look as chaotic as before. Determined now, Flora grabs a fourth and fifth stone, and though she misses on the fourth, the fifth does hit the target.

"Eeeee!" Flora exclaims as if having just achieved some renowned victory instead of hitting a target not that far away. "I did it!"

The childish mumbles certainly bring amusement to his face, lingering in the lines of his crooked smile as he shows her the trajectory of the rock. When it comes down to it, though, he’s experienced because he’s been trained – he doesn’t begrudge her for it. Everyone has to start somewhere, right? So he watches, patiently, as she takes up another rock, then another, and another until the rock smacks the target exactly as he had hoped.

A bright grin breaks on his face as he steps toward her now, sharing in that delight and excitement. “There you go!” His accented voice rumbles in the start of praise. “I knew you could do it.” It’s easy praise for the young woman as he steps away to right the target again. “Practice makes perfect, though, and now that you’ve hit the target with a rock I thiiiink I recall mentioning we’d start with sticks.” He rights the target but flashes a wink over his shoulder toward her, before stepping away and giving an example this time.

With the water, he straightens it out in the form of what could be construed as a stick. “A stick is lighter than a rock, treat it like a dart or an arrow and aim higher. Let the wind carry it.” He doesn’t get much wind with his, given the fact it’s water but he still leads by example, sending the water over toward the target and completely missing when a gust of wind blows by. “Oh fucker.” He barks a laugh, but concedes to let her try.

Flora, like any young girl with daddy issues, positively radiates beneath the praise and also falls a little in love with Sunjata at the same time.

Blanking, Flora blinks a few times before turning her head as if to replay the conversation in her mind. "Oh." She murmurs before flashing the demigod an apologetic smile. "My bad." Patiently waiting for her demonstration, it's with a peel of laughter that Flora watches Sunjata's attempt go rogue. Clapping her hands over her mouth to hide her smile, she drops them to her sides before giving the Flood a sympathetic look. "You'll get it. Practice makes perfect."

Grinning, she picks up a stick and moves it forwards and backwards over her shoulder like someone preparing to throw a paper aeroplane. The stick goes absolutely rogue, land-darting directly into the sand. "Okay, that one wasn't my fault. The stick wasn't even straight." At this the girl raises her eyebrows as if there's some underlying innuendo here (which there probably is, what with sticks and wood and straightness, but Flora isn't experienced to know what it is).

Ouch.” He responds, playfully hurt and dramatic enough these days to lay a scarred hand over his chest as if she’d wounded him. Though, it’s all in pure fun, as the Flood steps back to let Flora work. It’s uncontrollable and chaotic and Sunjata’s brows rise slightly to see it nosedive into the sand, well away from the target he’s crafted.

Her jest, though, has a snort leaving him as he steps back up to her side, reaching for a stick to hand her and to help guide her in how to throw it. “You can still work with it even if it’s not straight. Just takes a bit more work is all.” He muses, before standing at her side, extending one arm and the water stick in the other, using his nonthrowing hand as a guide. He squints as he finds where the target should go this time, before he speaks. “Try extending your nonthrowing hand and using it as a point to guide. You should release the stick right about even with it and with any luck…” He murmurs as he focuses, sending the water stick flying with concentration to watch as it pelts into the rock at the target’s feet. “It should get you closer to center.” His steel gaze slips down toward her again, a scarred brow raised as if in a playful challenge.

Flora is pretty sure that this is one of those moments where the big handsome man stands behind her, wraps his arms and hands over hers, to guide her actions. Then they fall in love and blah blah blah. That Sunjata was just standing next to her stole Flora's concentration away from the task at hand. Was she not cute enough? Was he taken? Did she smell?

Huffing, it would take several poorly thrown sticks and a few more mild-mannered comments from Sunjata before Flora began to strategize that maybe if she impressed him, things would go the way she expected (read: like a romance novel). So, with her brows furrowed and sweat beading down her spine despite the chillier than normal temperatures, Flora, using both arms, thrust the stick forward where it neatly hit the target.

"Well how about that." She trilled triumphantly as if they hadn't been standing there for the better part of an hour.

"Easy peasy." Flora adds with a flirtatious wink. Little does she know how very badly she's read the situation, but nevermind.
