A beautiful summer day. That's how to describe today.

You and Megumi had both finally gotten a day off from training and missions, the chaos halting for a moment. It was nice to be spending time with one another again after what felt like an eternity. Megumi lets his guard down just a bit in moments like this, letting himself be selfish and indulge in your company and the tranquility it brings him. The two of you had decided to spend this precious time together around town. A small flower garden had managed to catch your eye and with an indifferent Megumi by your side, you went to take a look around.

Beautiful flowers of all different shapes and colors filled the space, leaving you in fascination. You walk around the winding paths of the garden together, silently basking in each other's presence when a small group of bushes catches your eye. You stop at the patch and gaze upon the assortment with a small smile, one that does not go unnoticed by Megumi. Bright red and pink flowers with yellow buds litter the bushes, the colors popping against its leafy backdrop. You bring your hand out to gently feel the flowers when Megumi speaks.

"Camellias."

The man starts, bring your attention towards him. He's also staring at the bushes of red, an unusual fondness in his eyes.

"They symbolize self-reflection and love... among other titles. Most of the time they are found in or near graveyards and temple grounds because it was stated that the gods would make homes out of the flowers when they came down here..."

He tilts his head in confusion at your reaction, your jaw dangling open in surprise. Yet another thing he had up his sleeve- he was a walking botanical dictionary. He never seemed to be interested in nature outside of his shikigami... but he never seemed interested in anything, really. Megumi lets out a small scoff and crosses his arms, but the smallest hint of a smirk plays against his lips.

"What?"
