Horus Zontini

With Horus's mother's birthday being the next day, the boy wanted to do something nice for her. His siblings always seemed to be the better gift-givers, and he felt the need to step it up a bit. Not only was he going to get his mother a gift that meant something, but he was also going to take the time to get her some of her favorite flowers. It didn't take long for him to figure out which flowers were her favorite, as she often had some in a vase in the house, or planted out in the yard. She had always loved lilies, and luckily, they weren't too difficult to come across.

Horus had never really taken the time to go into a flower shop, so the day was quite different. The aroma of the flowers when he stepped inside was actually quite soothing, and the soft chime of the little bell that alerted the shopkeeper of his entry sounded sweet to his ears. He wasn't normally one to be easily calmed, but he was surprisingly relaxed that day. When he began to look around the shop, Horus examined the different flowers, trying to find lilies. As he looked around, he saw over a dozen different types of flowers from roses to tulips and anything in between.

Finally coming across the lilies he was looking for, he began to look at each individual bundle of flowers. He was determined to find the best quality ones, and the ones that looked like they would live the longest. Horus wanted healthy, beautiful flowers. He had always been the determined type, and even though this was a different sort of thing to be determined about, he still was.

The teenager picked up some of the flowers, looking them over, when he noticed someone else in the shop. Since he was in a surprisingly good mood just then, he decided to greet them. Albeit not all that formal, he gave a greeting to them nonetheless.

"Hey, how're you?" he asked the person working in the shop.

Tiffany d11f Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me for centuries Tiffany absentmindedly braided the stems of three irises together as a TV played noiselessly in the background. Playing on it were the current game events which were mandatory to have on at all times. Her head tilted upwards as the captions flash across the screen: FINAL TWO ABOUT TO FIGHT. WHO WILL WIN?! The pictures of the girl from district twelve and the boy from district ten flash onto the screen, the image of Caeser Flickerman laughing joyously emblazoned afterwards. Her head tilted back down, trying to ignore the death sentence placed upon one of the two kids by the capitol. The two district eleven kids had already died. Tiffany didn't know them. She thinks the boy might have come into her shop once, but other than that she hadn't seen either of them before. She sighs and continues to weave the flowers together, careful not to mess up the delicate petals on the Irises. A yawn spread across her face for a small moment. A few minutes pass until suddenly she is jolted out of her absentmindedness by the small bundle of flowers being placed in front of her. She looked up to the face of a teenager, probably around her age. "Oh, uh, I'm good." She said awkwardly, she hadn't been expecting much of anybody to show up during the work hours of the day. "How are you?" And just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries

Horus Zontini

Horus gave a slight smile when the girl in the shop spoke to him. She sounded kind, and looked to be about the same age as he was. The television in the shop was on, of course, as it had to be, showing the Games as they were unfolding. The Games were so close to their end at this point. Unfortunately, the two tributes from District Eleven hadn't made it to the point the Games were at now; the final two.

"I'm alright," was Horus's reply when the girl in the shop asked him how he was doing. "I'm just looking at some flowers for my mother. Her birthday is tomorrow, so I thought I'd get her some flowers..." he began to trail off, looking at the bouquet of flowers that he had in his hands. "How much are these lilies?" he then inquired. He hoped that he wasn't making the girl uncomfortable with his conversation-making.

The bouquet of lilies that he had selected were in stunningly good health. They looked as if they were as healthy and perfect as they could ever be, which was exactly what he was hoping for. He knew that his mother would really appreciate getting them as a gift. Now, he just had to make sure that he had enough money to pay for them. He'd been working recently to earn the money he needed, but still wasn't sure if what he had was enough. After all, he did have to save some of his income for the family's food and other necessities. He couldn't spend it all on his mother's birthday gift, no matter how much he felt that he really wanted to.

OOC: I'm so sorry it took me so long to make this post, and that it still ended up rather short! I'll try to be quicker and write more on the next one!

Tiffany d11f Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me for centuries Tiffany smiled at the man as he brought the bouquet of flowers up to the cash register, remembering what her boss always said. Smile, be polite, be kind, even if the customer is a total jerk. Fortunately, this customer didn't seem to be a total jerk, and so it was a bit easier for her to pull a smile to her shy face. "Tell your mom happy birthday." She says cheerily as the man talks about his mother birthday tomorrow. She smiles and tells him how much the lilies cost. It isn't that much, as the lilies are some of the more common flowers found within district seven's forests. She moves quickly to below the counter to grab a small plastic wrap for the bouquet of flowers. "Do you want me to wrap it for you?" She asks the customer, her smile begining to tire her out. If this wasn't a store where she had to be polite to everyone, she would probably be hiding in the back right now hiding or something along those lines due to her shyness. And just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries
