Tatsu (12 roses)
Tatsu trotted happily towards the barracks. He felt very proud of his purchase. He was certain that it was perfectly appropriate. He'd spent a few minutes researching Valentine's Day customs, and he had decided on flowers instead of candy. Candy had several drawbacks. Linly might not share it fairly. Worse, she might eat it all and then be too full to make any extra treats. Also, Tatsu wasn't going to risk eating it all himself before he gave it to her, not like last year. Flowers seemed a wiser option. He wasn't likely to eat them, was he?
He sniffed the bundle. It had a vaguely medicinal scent, not unpleasant. It reminded him of the spiced ovis milk his Mamapon would make for him when he was a littlepon. The flowers certainly looked healthy. He leaned over and licked one, just to see. A small trail of drool clung to the tip of a petal.
Tatsu frowned. Drool was sparkly, but not like dew. He tugged the petal from the blossom, and three more fell off along with it. He popped all four quickly into his mouth. Very refreshing, and nicely bitter. That particular flower was looking a little lopsided, and the drool was still there. Or maybe it was fresh drool. He made a decision. Lin would still get 12 flowers, a perfect dozen, and Tatsu would have better breath. The crunchy stem would do nicely for cleaning his teeth.
a/n: This was probably the shortest one.
Next up: Lin.
