Arriving back from the festival Saren donned a golden colored headdress on his head and carried a flower by its stem in his mouth. He had gotten the flower with the intent to give it to his sister Thalia, they had had a nice conversation at the festival and he wanted to thank her for it. He wanted to thank her for her support of him. Saren hadn’t actually heard that anyone supported him before so that alone meant a lot to him. He looked around to see if he could spot his sister, he knew she’d probably think he looked silly but he didn’t really care.

As much as Thalia would've liked to linger on the island for a bit longer, their father seemed eager to get them back home as soon as it was all finished.. and in a way, she too was glad to be home. These lands were familiar, and back home she could let her guard down rather than exploring and feeling uptight and on edge constantly. Today was certainly one of those days - she had no real goals for the day, and instead she made herself busy sniffing around the edge of the castle. When Saren's nearby scent touched her nose, she decided to redirect her course. By the time she found him, a small smile had crept over her lips, giving him a curious look as she tried to take in what precisely he was wearing. Hadn't he dragged that home from the festival? It was unusual, but not too strange that it caught her by surprise... instead, she raised a brow in gentle inquiry as she approached. "I like the new... thing," she gestured to the top of his head, unsure quite what it was called.

Saren set down the flower as he saw his sister approach. She made a comment on his headdress as he expected, she wasn’t rude about it though which was nice. He tried looking up at it but it just hurt his eyes. “I’m not really sure what I think about it either.” Returning his focus to the matter at hand he said “I got this for you.” Before picking up the flower again. She might not like it, but that was alright all it was for was showing his feelings as long as she understood that he would be fine.

Thalia definitely didn't dislike the headdress, even if it was a bit strange. In a way it seemed... religious? Like something that might be worn during one of their family member's lessons. She wasn't quite sure why it seemed that way, but it seemed more fitting than something to be worn for fun. "You'll figure it out," she said simply, shrugging it off with a faint smile. Her expression only grew when she noted what he'd been carrying, moving forward to sniff at it. For a second she wondered why he'd thought a flower would fit her, but after studying it for a moment she decided she was rather fond of it. It was pink, but a gentle pink that danced with a creamy white. "I like it. Thank you," she pawed it closer to her, wondering what she'd do with it. Perhaps it'd look nice if she found a way to weave it into her fur, but it'd just die soon or later.. right? She'd figure it out. "So.. did you enjoy the festival?" She knew Saren tended to be more introverted, and liked to keep to himself; had he enjoyed being around others, especially non-family members, she wondered?
