there are many paths to tread
A raven had gone ahead of him, with a piece of parchment tied to its leg with only one thing written on it: Midnight. Three days hence. A single flower petal was crushed and rolled up in the parchment, the only sign as to the location of the meeting place.
But they were twins; Toulouse knew he would understand.
So he waded through the flowers absently, green eyes looking over them with disinterest. They had all turned grey in the darkness, their glass petals whispering every time two touched, like dancers trading off their partners, gossip running rampant among their ranks. He would do anything to speak their language, to know the secrets they kept.
When the familiar figure appeared - alone, not another soul in sight - he went to him. The flowers parted like a river about him, and he swore their whispers grew louder in anticipation.
“Brother.” One of them greeted first. In the shadows surrounding them, it was impossible to know who was whom. Perhaps they were the same person all along, two halves of a whole.

***STAFF EDIT
@Toulouse has rolled a 3! Perhaps he has decided to pick a flower to take home with him; however, bad luck will dog his heels for the next 1 RL month (half an IC season). You can decide what the details of his bad luck entail, pm @nestle or @sid if you want ideas!
