"You'll never guess what I found while I was in town." Strolling towards Severa, Inigo used what he thought was his most winning smile to greet her.

Rolling her eyes, Severa crossed her arms and scoffed. "Another rejected proposal to tea? You don't look any worse for wear so it looks like you've escaped getting slapped this time around."

"Oh you wound me. You know that I'm faithful. My heart belongs to you." Wrapping an arm around her waist, Inigo pulled out a long stemmed rose, offering it to Severa. "Just a token."

Taking the flower, Severa gave it a delicate sniff, hiding her smile behind the thick red petals. "I suppose it's an alri- ouch!" Stopping midsentence, Severa dropped the rose, frowning at the nick that a stray thorn had left on her thumb. Blood welled from the cut, and with a sigh, she examined the wound.

"It seems like you're not the only rose with thorns around here." Laughing, he bent down to pick up the flower, plucking the offending thorn from the stem before taking Severa's wounded hand in his. "Now this won't do." Holding her thumb by its base, Inigo gently placed his lips against the pad of her finger, not breaking eye contact as he did. "A kiss to make it better."

For a moment, Severa was speechless, and Inigo took the moment to palm the flower back into her hands. With a two fingered salute and a wink, Inigo left, thinking that the blush that had bloomed over Severa's face had been quite cute. Perhaps he'd find a way to see it more often.


AN: Request for guest! Sorry this one's a bit shorter than usual. Also, I keep getting alerts for reviews but they aren't showing up, so my apologies if I missed a request from someone. And, I was wondering what type of interactions you'd like to see. Since the last few have been romantic[ish] and not everyone might be into that. Just a thought!

Smileplease91: [buries face in hands] Am I doing fluff right.

Scion of House Do'Urden: Thank you! And oh my god, that request sounds ridiculous; I'm excited to get working on it :

She Who is Woe: Thank you! Hope I can live up to your expectations.
