[While Caius had been in Asgard for a number of days already, he saw no reason to make his presence obviously known among the network. While there was likely a chance that just listening in could somehow make his being there known, it was better than actually having to communicate with the others here. As it was, that worked out just fine as well; with a number of other new arrivals asking the questions he himself had, it was easy to just listen in on others replying to them rather than asking himself.

As unsettling as it was to have been brought here, he was confident ~~or just knew, or something, who knows how time really works with this guy seriously~~ that even something such as this would do no harm to his plans. Another anomaly in time--ironic, then, that he was now stuck in something like this rather than passing through them so easily as always, but it mattered little.

However, not even Mr. CHECK-OUT-MY-FEATHERS over here could stay cooped up in his lodgings forever (and man he'd definitely have to get himself his own place or something WHAT IS INTERACTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE), and he saw it fit to at last become familiar with his new surroundings. So yeah, just another walk through the city nothing intriguing here...

Or it would be if not for the fact that he looks like intimidation incarnate seriously what is that thing he's carrying on his back??? SOME WOULD SAY A SWORD AND PERHAPS OTHERS JUST SOME SORT OF MONSTROSITY. Please don't be alarmed if you happen to spot him he actually doesn't intend to be hostile or awful for once just trying to get a feel for this place and all really!!]

[Excuse me, it is totally relevant!!!]

It is this way.

[She gestures in the proper direction and takes a few steps ahead of him. Yeul's gotta get a head start since he's got a longer stride, and well, no one wants to see her "run."]

[SHHH let's just not talk about it...

Naturally, it doesn't take long at all for him to catch up, and soon they're walking side by side. It's... well, it's nice. For once he doesn't have to worry about her dying when he spends time with her. When was the last time that happened?]

[Probably before Etro freed the l'Cie and broke the timeline and rewrote history, which more or less boils down to... never!

In any case, she continues at her leisurely pace, taking everything around them with a faint smile as they walk along.]

Have you seen any of the others yet?

[The unasked question here is: you haven't hurt anyone, right? Caius did promise, after all!

[EEEEETROOOOOOOOOO

]

Yes, I have. [And he saw them all without doing anything violent! Maybe he was hostile, but he didn't hurt anyone at least. Aren't you proud of him?]

[Well, she hasn't had anyone coming up to her going, "CONTROL YOUR PET DRAGON DAMMIT," yet, so Yeul counts that as a good sign. She'll give him a small smile for showing restraint.]

Who?

[Because, well, maybe Caius has gotten to meet someone she didn't know was in the city! That could be exciting!]

The Warrior Goddess. Some of the Pulse l'Cie. A number of miscellaneous others. [P.S. They were all unwanted encounters EVERYONE JUST DIGS THE SWORD.]

You have been busy then.

[Caius, you gotta learn to hang out with more people. :( Even Yeul knows this!

Anyway, look! She awkwardly toddles (yes, toddles, you've seen that run of hers) ahead of them as they reach the garden. Yeul gestures at the flowers with a slight wave of the hand.]

Is not beautiful?

Somewhat, at least. [Wandering around just getting familiar with your surroundings counts as being busy, right...

YEUL SLOW DOWN YOU'LL HURT YOURSELF and then Caius will go off raging into the sunset I mean. He nods at her question yeaaah.]

Indeed. It is rather nice here.

[Well, it's better than Caius Ballad, the man who sulks in his room and collects dust bunnies... ? This isn't to say that Yeul doesn't support the collection of dust bunnies; there's a good chance one of her incarnations did at some point or another.

Anyway, she walks over to where the flowers are and kneels. Yeul turns and looks up at her Guardian.]

Will you join me?

[Yes, by the flowers, Caius. Careful not to step on them!]

[He gives a long look at the flowers. Whether he's trying to decide on if he actually wants to or is trying to formulate a plan where he wouldn't step or otherwise harm them when he's practically walking murder is anyone's guess.]

If that is what you wish.

It is. Please, join me.

[Yeul settles properly next to the garden now, and she pats the ground next to her. She might not be the Yeul who loves flowers, but Caius better be careful around the plants.

She's got her eyes on him. Oh yes.]

I have been trying to learn how to make flower chains.

... [Carefully making his way over now... OH GOD WILL THE SWORD NOT DESTROY ANYTHING he'll just have to hope it does as he takes a seat.]

I see. Have you learned well?

[She keeps her eyes on him long enough that he doesn't step on the flowers, or, you know, put a hole in the sidewalk with his sword. Anyway, when Caius is seated next to her, she reaches over and plucks a few daisies.]

I will let you decide.

[That's right, Caius. You get both feathers and flowers in your hair today. AREN'T YOU EXCITED? Look at those little hands go.]

[How much shit can his hair hold before it one day decides to ragequit on him and go WE'RE SICK OF THE ACCESSORIES!! If he's not looking forward to wearing flowers in his hair he's certainly not showing it at least.]

Impressive. [And that was the day Yeul earned his approval for. Making flower chains.]

[She gives him a brief smile and then presents him with the finished product. It's, admittedly, not the best looking flower chain ever, but hey! She's not going to turn down a compliment from Caius.

Okay, okay, she may or may not just be trying to see how much he's willing to put up with, but shhhh.]

If you would.

[Put it on, Caius! Put it on! Maybe she'll even take a picture or two with her bracelet. Er, if she can figure out if said bracelet has that function and how to use it if it does?]

[St....aring...... Yeul you know he would do anything for you but aren't the feathers enough. He raises an eyebrow ever so slightly at her gesture because how many things must be in his hair before she's satisfied?!]

Are you sure it would not get caught? [In his hair, the feathers, the beads, whatever else there is... He's trying to find a way out of this man.]

[Yeul lowers her hands, along with the flower chain, and a very tiny frown pulls at her lips. Is that how it's going to be, Caius? Well, fine.]

Perhaps you are right.

[Maybe there's somewhere else she can hang this thing. Her eyes land on that sword. Hm...]

[(bah) Wait no if she just puts it on the sword it'll probably get cut. That is also probably the worst result that could happen right. Uh...]

... on second thought, on my head is fine. [itt: he is whipped]

[There's a moment when she just sort of stares at him, almost as if she doesn't understand the words he's saying, but then she nods. While the smile she wears is hardly a bright and exuberant one, it probably speaks volumes to someone like Caius.

Alternatively, it just says, "VICTOLLLLLY!!!!1" in that subtle way of hers.]

If you are sure of it.

[Of course, Yeul doesn't give him any time to retract that statement before rising to her knees and gingerly places the flower chain on top of his head. You know, along with the feathers, the beads, and the hair wrap... scarf thing.]

[To his credit, he does his best to make sure his face doesn't look anymore sour than it usually does, but where most people would probably at least jokingly ask "How do I look?" here he just. Sits there. Stoically. Yeul if you are not happy from this he will turn into the deadcat emote......]
