[Alfred sends Rafal a bouquet that has several "bird of paradise" flowers at its center. There's also a bag of crystalline candies in rosy colors, and a bracelet.]
[ oh. he hadn't realized the day had come so soon. he sends a message. ]
It's lovely. I hadn't realized sweetheart's day was upon us.

[ He's leaving Rafal a box of chocolate dragon-pops who all look like they've seen some shit and a nebula pendant because it has all their colors on it.

[ rafal is waiting with a plate of alear's favourite sweets. ]
For you.
For you.
I don't need a holiday to give you stuff, but I'm glad you like them! Those flowers are the ones I said made me think of your dragon body. And I hope the candies are tasty!
Honestly, I think of flowers in relation to lots of things. But I wanted to show you that there was a flower that's kinda dark and spiny like you, and beautiful like you.

I'm not very flowery or descriptive. I assume that's fine?
Sure! I'm probably flowery enough for the both of us.

You're like iron. You're stalwart and in a way, you do not bend easily.

Oh
I LOVE that. I can picture myself as a huge chunk of iron! That's really nice of you.

I think it's romantic that you made me sound very strong. I hope to be strong for you, not just for myself.
