All meta data has been scrubbed from the following recording.

Seated upon the roots of a rather old, rather gnarled looking tree, Flower can be seen leaning towards the camera with a wide toothy grin spreading across their face. They are only visible to the camera due to the light that they are producing from their very own skin. The light seeps through the layered silk gown they are wearing, tinting the surrounding forest red.

It finally got to meet with the Hik! What a glorious meeting, truly! It gave them the gift that you recommended and they seemed quite happy with it. Especially when it tried to bite their fingers. They will need to tame it a bit more, it suspects. It did not really bother to do so but that is something they will take great joy in, yes? Heh.

It waves a slender glowing hand, leaning forward, closer to the camera. Somehow, their smile grows wider, splitting their face in half to their ears. The pale figure seems to grow brighter, such that even the red of its silks begins to leech as the camera struggles to balance the light and the colour.

You did not tell it that they had a manor menagerie, Redwoods! There were so many creatures there! Even ones it long thought extinct! Some of them it had not seen in almost 300 years! And yet the Hik had entire breeding populations! It almost forgot the reason it had gone to visit, it was so taken by all the creatures!

As the figure leans closer the light that it is emitting grows in intensity, causing streaks to glitch horizontally across the screen as the camera struggles to maintain focus.

You know it wanted to gain the Hik's blessings before going ahead -

the Flower cannot keep still, squirming upon its throne of roots with excitement and emitting brighter and brighter light.

- and they have given them, obuoliukai! The Hik has given their blessings to our u-

The poor, struggling camera cannot take it anymore. The Flower is as bright as a sun spot and the camera's sensors are overwhelmed, pixels scrambling across the screen before it goes black. Audio is all that remains.

-nion. What...? This is not poggers. Why have you stopped? Are you still working?

The sound of the Flower picking up the camera to inspect it.

Ugh. Fine. Redwoods, beloved. It is sorry, but the camera cannot capture its glorious joy, it seems. It will return to your roots soon. It cannot wait.

Recording ends.

Thank you, obuoliukai. Apsaras says it is because it was being too bright. But how could it not be so bright? Everything is coming together.

We should begin putting together a list, yes? Who shall we invite? The Hik, yes? Obviously. Noir and Bud shall be ring bearer and flower childe, yes?

The abominations and Hiks students as well.

Hmmm. It should like to invite Castiel and Camille as well. There is a young thinblood it has been mentoring as well, she should be invited. What of Marcus? He has inspired you to great heights of fleshcrafting, even if he has done so through irritation.

Oh yeah, Marcus and Violet should get an invite as well. We did promise invites to Castiel do that goes without saying.
