When Gaura comes home he'll find a bouquet of flowers with his name on the tag. Pink camellias and white clover.

[Jingyi knocks on his friend's door one morning with a small box in his hand wrapped in pretty paper and ribbon. On his belt hangs a pink knotted tassel, which is bright against the pale blue and white of his robes.]

Henry's sitting at the dining room table, fiddling with the ring on his finger as he waits for Gaura to bring dinner. Once the other man is seated, before they can even start eating, Henry simply blurts out, "Are we engaged?"

[ Sometime between the wedding and the event in August, Jingyi gives up trying to figure this out on his own and he calls his er-ge. Maybe he'll have some answers for him?

It's after nine, but Jingyi can't sleep. His hair is loose and he's in robes for sleeping. His bare toes are sticking out under the hem as he hugs his knees to his chest. He's outside somewhere and it's sort of dark, but there's a light from somewhere nearby. ]

Er-ge, I'm sorry if I woke you. Are you able to talk?

[It's about three in the morning on Tay's third night at chez Gaura's when their new houseguest stumbles in accidentally making a bit of a racket. His heels don't help and after fumbling in the kitchen for a few minutes the sound of something breaking can be overheard, followed by a few curses.

When Gaura comes in, he'll find a very drunk Tay attempting to pick up the pieces of a coffee mug. His knuckles are scraped on one hand and there's an angry red mark on his cheek. His shirt had been neat when he left, but now it's unkempt and some of the buttons are gone.]

It's really a wonder Tay and Pete didn't wake anyone up when they returned to Gaura's house sometime late the night before. Pete had helped him find a safe spot for the pistol and had left quietly. Tay had let the yukata drop on the floor of his room and fallen into bed.

After a certain late morning phone call, he very carefully gets himself up out of bed, wraps a towel around his waist, and limps to the bathroom. He stumbles part way and lands on the floor on his side (thank god not on his knee again), letting out a soft cry of pain.

Do you know James Bond?

[ maybe an hour or so after this exchange ]

Hi Gaura! It's Will. We talked today about music and gardening. I'm outside the gate of your nursery. IT'S SO PRETTY!

Henry spends a good portion of his time at home. For days on end, he'll sit in his study, collecting the information he's found on the native flora and fauna of Nippon. Though, he does take a walk every day with Gaura and they've begun to take short weekend trips to other areas, he is, what they call, a homebody.

But he's been getting more, in part thanks to his bicycle and making deliveries for Gaura. But a short time ago he was home when his fiance had a visitor and he couldn't help overhearing a part of their conversation. Which is why he's now wandering out to the garden to find Gaura and present him with something he hopes his beloved will accept.

"Jisu, do you have a moment?"

Keeping his cooking lessons a secret had been hard. But the surprise was more important! He waited until Gaura's birthday to surprise him with the one recipe he'd be able to find that seemed authentically Korean: galbi-jjim.

Henry spent practically the whole day in the kitchen. Thankfully, Gaura was working in the garden so he was able to be a little sneaky. Surely his fiance would recognize the scent of a spicy dish wafting through the house and then the surprise would be ruined! When he finally finished the short-rib dish, Henry was almost giddy when he went out to fetch Gaura from the garden.

"Jisu~ I need your help inside, please."
