I'm looking for a specific type of flower. It's small and white and it gives off a delicious scent. Maybe it's something like jasmine? I'm not sure. Its been awhile since I had any.

I think the butterflies will like it. {Granted they aren't real butterflies, but surely phantom butterflies love sweet scents too?}

I remember them blooming for most of the year or maybe I'm mistaken? It has been so long. My mind is getting old.

I was definitely spoiled back then. If I asked for them, someone would grow them even if it was the wrong season.

I know better now.

It's just the memories that I miss.

Of course. I know where some is.

[ A map pops up a moment later with a dot marking a few choice spots. ]

I marked a few other places I remember seeing other small blooms.

Your memory is impeccable!

{He is on the move, eager to visit those spots.}

Do they smell as good as I remember? What is your opinion on them?

I appreciate beauty.

[ Not to mention fond memories of the Four Seasons Manor with it's perpetually blooming trees. Of course he'd search for where to find the most beautiful blooms here! ]

Has it been so long since you smelled flowers? So sad! You should go straight to fix this!

I took beauty for granted when I was younger. I don't really care for jewels and riches. I prefer flowers in their natural glory.

{Fleeting beauty is the loveliest of all.}

I'm afraid so. I'm about to change that!

Jewels and riches are a means to an end. Beauty is far more valuable.

[ He's married to the most beautiful being to exist. So there. ]

I'm happy to be able to help!

I had hundreds of temples dedicated to me once. My favorite had a statue carved out of clay with a fresh flower in one of his hands. Every day, a little boy would bring a fresh bloom. Golden statues couldn't compare.

{The effort put into choosing the bloom and bringing it to him had touched him deeply.}

I appreciate your kindness.

[ So he's speaking with a god. Or at least an immortal. ]

That story is a sweet one. I hope you find the flower you're looking for.

It's no trouble at all.

{A failure of a god, but a god nonetheless.}

Me too. It would bring back nice memories.

I'm Xie Lian. I'm sorry for not introducing myself sooner!

[ A kind god, from what Kexing has seen of the man so far! And one who clearly values beauty rather than riches. ]

Aiya! How rude of me! I am Wen Kexing. It is a pleasure to meet you. Hopefully we may meet in person soon.

Well met, Wen Kexing. I hope our paths cross soon! I want to learn more about your knowledge regarding plants.

{And other things! Xie Lian flusters, unsure if what he typed might be considered rude or...presumptive?}

That is if you want to share!

I would be happy to!

[ Cute. ]

Really? Wonderful! Whenever you are free, let me know.
