The boys turned out to be a good team, and Azure was finding himself enjoying his brother's company more than he'd anticipated. After all, they weren't doing anything fun and interesting together and were only playing with flowers. Indigo's assurance that he might be able to climb trees too made Az smile wider, and he hoped that one day he could be alongside Indy in his tree helping him collect the beautiful high-up blossoms.

Indy latched onto the idea to tie the flower to him, suggesting they make him a part of the bouquet. Azure thought it sounded perfect, and couldn't help the excitement bubbling up inside him. Luckily his father had shown him how to tie knots when he taught him about trapping rabbits, and so Az went off looking for a long tall piece of grass that would be strong enough to hold the sunflower.

He wasn't certain of the strength of one piece of grass, though much like he and his siblings he knew they'd be stronger together. He snipped off multiple pieces with his teeth, returning to Indigo with a mouth full. "OK, hold still." Az told his brother, grasping the stem of the sunflower carefully in his teeth and pulling hard to drag it onto his brother's back. The pedals hit Indigo in the face a couple times, but luckily did not fall off and after a few careful ties around his tummy, neck, and tail he had the stem secure on his brother's back. "Where d'you want the other one?" He asked, and then he frowned. "is it enough to just have two flowers and you?" Azure knew nothing of bouquets.

"Speech"
"Thinking"
"You."
