Krishna & Viola (& a brief sighting of a wild Lukas) | Mid-Afternoon | Town Circle
Canwyn's Turning was always a particularly busy time of the year, not least of all because it was also Calvin's birthday. Krishna had been busy since early morning, first taking small crate of sugar apples to the Temple in hopes of delivering them directly to Calvin. Those hopes were small and incidental - like all the previous years, the Danu was exceedingly needed everywhere, so Krishna wasn't disappointed when he didn't see his friend. He was just glad that this time, Calvin wouldn't have to hurry from one job to the other, and that he could properly enjoy the Turning as he should.
Krishna then continued on to the Town Circle with his medicine box, though it was much smaller than the one he habitually brought with him on house calls. Instead of being filled just with tinctures and common salves, the box was filled with flowers that came from the woods and from his own home. Many of them were more humble flowers that had not benefited from the touch of someone with the green gift, but there were several more fragile flowers that had bloomed in the night, which he had wrapped up and tucked away in the darkness of the box, to be given to Ciara. He also had a bunch of the red-speckled clematis that Morrigan had liked so much for when he saw her later. Krishna was also wearing a pale green shirt embroidered with colourful flowers of all kinds, and his long hair was loose on his shoulders, dotted with bluebells. If they fell off, then that was the will of the gods.
His medicine box was almost empty by the time he had made it halfway across the Town Circle, many given away to giggling children, the rest exchanged with other villagers for different flowers. Krishna was sporting a new bracelet of yellow flowers when he heard a loud thump, which he was quick to investigate.
By the time he got there, none other than Lukas Fox was already dusting himself off, still cheerful. Krishna shook his head at the young man, the look he was wearing disapproving, but it was still soft, because it had been a long time since he had seen the youngest Fox boy so carefree with his gift. Krishna gave him a white lily, nonetheless, "Happy Turning, Lukas, and for Canwyn's sake, try not to hurt yourself!"
