Oh dear... there's only a week left until Mother's Day! I'm not sure if I can come up with a suitable idea in that short amount of time...

My mama is very amazing, you see, so I need to figure out something appropriate! She's very beautiful, and very smart, and very calm, and she helps me take care of Mr. Erde when he's sad, and papa says he'd completely put romance out of his mind but once he met mama he knew that he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life even if people thought it was strange! So you see, she's that sort of wonderful person.

I wish my mother was amazing like that...

[areyoulovers]

Oh no! Does your mother not take care of you properly?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

My mother divorced my father when I was young.

[areyoulovers]

How sad...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm used to it, but I envy people like you with wonderful mothers.

[areyoulovers]

Oh dear! I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Not at all, don't worry.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, I'm glad! I really didn't mean to make anyone sad, after all.

I know the perfect thing for you to get her, it is rather common here but I believe she sounds like the sort of woman to appreciate it.

[areyoulovers]

Really? You have an idea? What is it?

These are the rarest white flowers that I found in a garden deep within the Dalmascan desert. Your mother might appreciate them, for they only bloom in the dead of night.

[areyoulovers]

Oh my goodness, I don't think that I've ever heard of a flower like that! They're so pretty!

[solidork.livejournal.com]

If you are able to arrange a worldhop, I would not mind showing them to you. Perhaps you could find something in the local bazaar? There is nothing you can't find in Balfonheim Port.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, if it wouldn't be an inconvenience, that would be so exciting! And I'll bring along some instruments to take readings from... if it's natural light levels that control the blooming, there's a chance that they might bloom all the time, where I live!

[solidork.livejournal.com]

Your instruments will not be able to register the Mist that allows the plant to grow. Do you not have magiks in your world?

[areyoulovers]

I don't think so! At least, I've never heard of it, and my spellchecker hasn't either.

I think Linda'll like anything you get for her, Mileina, just because you went to the effort of getting something. It's the thought the counts most of all.

[areyoulovers]

I'm sure you're right, but I still want to do something special!

[lockon2urheart]

Taking her breakfast in bed is always a good start to a special day, how about that?

[areyoulovers]

Maybe I can have Papa help me cook! Is that the sort of thing you did for your mother when you were my age, Mr. Lockon?

[lockon2urheart]

Yeah, it was. Same thing on Father's Day, usually, too. Nothing too elaborate, but it isn't supposed to be, you know? You're just showing you care.

[lockon2urheart]

Like I said, it's the thought that counts. And I bet Linda would love it.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, thank goodness... I realized right after I asked that I'm not supposed to ask anything like that, so I was worried you would be angry!

[ CB-locked ]

[lockon2urheart]

I wouldn't be angry at you because of something like that, Mileina. Mistakes happen. No harm done, right? It's fine.

Anyway, if your dad's too busy, I'll give you a hand if you need it. Do you know what her favourite breakfast is?

[ CB-locked ]

[areyoulovers]

She likes freshly made things, I know that for certain! I'd like to try and make her something from where she grew up, but I'm not sure where that is... can you really cook, Mr. Lockon?
