It was a stereotypically lovely day; the sun was out, the skies were clear, and the grass surrounding the Sacred Tree was warm and soft. Licorice, true to her nature and her species, was happily frolicking about the base of the tree, running through the tall grass and chasing butterflies. Being the innocent girl that she was, she wasn't really certain about what being here meant, but she did realize that this was where baby Yumies came from. It was her hope to catch a glimpse of one, though at the moment there didn't seem to be much of a chance of that. She waited, wondering if someone else would show up and share in her happiness.

Buggle Yumi Rinadesh (Deshi) He was sent along with a small box tied around his neck. It was pink and had a green ribbon around it, apparently for the person he was to be meeting today. Deshi sighed uncomfortably... This person, he assumed, was going to be a girl... Flying in a little loop as he began heading down the paths to the Sacred tree and tried hard to hold back his nervousness. He had no idea what this 'Sacred Tree' was. He read that it had something to do with Eggcorns... But honestly? There was no knowledge of why he was headed there. Maybe this little box had a present that he just had to drop off? That Amethyst Yumi, Sedaige was giving him quite the funny look when he'd recieved the news.. Maybe he knew something Deshi didn't know... Course.. that seemed to happen a lot. Finally pulling away from his mind's ramblings a brightly colored Yumi in the near distance caught his eye. She had bright swirls and odd little pink striped boots. She seemed nice enough- But she was alone?...Oh no- There really wasn't anyone else around! Deshi gulped, he was going to have to confront a girl alone...! The soft buzzing of his wings ceased as he landed carefully, no too far away from her. His tail was twitching uneasily which made him more timid, knowing he couldn't get these nervous shakes to stop; She'd know he was feeling nervous!

The female Yumi looked up as she heard the buzzing of wings, then smiled widely as a Buggle Yumi alighted nearby. Someone else was here now, which meant that she had potentially gained a new friend! Bouncing happily over to Deshi, she gave a wiggle of her tail and bobbed her head in greeting.
"Hello, hello! It's nice to meet you! My name's Licorice, after the candy -- what's your name?" It was only then that she noticed the other Yumi was shaking, as if in fright or nervousness. Aww, the poor dear! Maybe she should tone down her hyperness for his sake. "It's okay, I just wanna be friends. Is that okay with you?" she asked, sitting down and trying to calm herself. Her puffy tail still wiggled excitedly, however.

Deshi smiled, "Oh- I'm Deshi" his upturned cheeky smile felt twitchy and very unnerved, but he gave it anyways. Better not to make her think he was totally afraid of being around her, she seemed awfully sweet, a odd little likeness her personality held in relation to her species. "I- erm.. Friends are n-nice" he nodded while accidentally taking a step away from her. Why was he always so afraid of what people thought of him?! Undoubtedly she was already thinking he was weird. "eehh---" he tried to think of a way to move the conversation away from his overly self-conscious reactions, "S-so, erm- is this the tree" his head jerked quickly in the direction of the Sacred Eggcorn Tree, there were large, lightly shaded flower blooming on it and it seemed oddly beautiful to him.

Oh, he seemed so awfully nervous! Maybe he just wasn't one for getting out and making friends? Though he did say that friends were nice... Licorice tilted her head slightly and then looked at the tree when Deshi pointed it out.
"Yep, that's the one! Pretty, isn't it? You know... I wonder how long that Sacred Tree has been there. I mean, it's so big! It must've been there a long time to get so big, don't you think?" There she was, rambling on again. Hopefully the Buggle wouldn't take that as a bad thing... Some people just didn't like those who talked too much. She was trying her best to control her hyper self, however, and it showed in the way her tail was twitching madly as she sat.

She was right, it really was a big tree.. but wondering how old it was wasn't something he usually thought about when it came to vegetation; Actually, the silly boy was mildly entertaining the idea of climbing it and seeing what sorts of things the Tree might show from amongst it's branches. "I-I dunno- It looks like it's be pretty old I guess~" he mused as he squirmed slightly towards it. "Those are some big long branches... Looks like fun...- I mean- Heh" His wondering gaze shot back to Licorice as he realized he had be inching more to the tree and hopped back to his original position to sat his fluffy bottom down so not to allow himself any more odd actions. His fur was feeling damp with sweat... something that happened when he was nervous. He knew he had made himself way too obvious and dreaded the question he was partially sure would come to her mind... If he'd like to climb it... His tail gave another twitch.

And of course, Licorice asked the question.
"Yeah! D'you wanna climb it?" She looked excited at the prospect, and, with another flick of her tail, raced towards the tree and climbed up it expertly, coming to rest on one of the lower branches. Licorice looked down at Deshi, wiggling happily on the branch. Looks like she had failed to contain her hyperness...
"Are you gonna come up? It's a lovely view from up here!" she exclaimed, looking out over the field the tree sat in. It certainly was a nice view; from up here, one could see out over the horizon for miles. "Come up, come up and see!"

Deshi blinked in surprise- She climbed that tree really fast! He suddenly felt silly, sitting down at the base staring like a idiot that found something shinny. Shaking his head a little he squatted his fore arms and head down and wiggled his fluffy stripped butt, with a look that said 'I'm so gonna show here I'm an expert tree climber! I betcha she'll be totally impressed with me!' then he shot off, light footing his way up the tree's main all the way passed the point Licorice had stopped at- only too pose at a very thin branch that snapped abruptly. Well, that was a flop of a show-off. Deshi caught his fall by his wings and softly buzzed the the branch opposite of Licorice, his face had to have been bright red under his yellow fur. "Ah geeze.." Was all he could say.

Licorice was very much impressed with the speed that Deshi summoned in order to climb up the tree, but she failed to suppress a gasp as the branch that he had decided to stop on broke. Luckily the Buggle Yumi had his wings and was able to save himself.
"Ohmigosh, are you okay?!" the female Candi cried, leaning precariously over the branch in order to inspect Deshi. "Good thing you have wings, or you would've really hurt yourself! But WOW did you fly up that tree! I don't think I've ever seen anyone move that fast! Not even myself!" She bounced excitedly, almost sending herself flying off the branch. "You need to teach me how to run like that!"

Her complement was enough to make his tail peek on straight end and his ears to warm up in flattered embarrassment. Was there a shade one could turn beyond extreme red?? Apparently there must have been, for Deshi was undoubtedly that exact hue under his bright pelt. He had turned away from her to cover his face. "eh-erm--eehheh..." He had NO idea how to react, a part of him was booming with pride.. but at the same time? He was still embarrassed about falling. He could hear the leaves on the branch Licorice was on, bobbing and rustling softly, and so he looked over at the bounding-in-place Yumi girl only to have to barely catch a bubble of laughter in his now bulging cheeks. His laugh was too much to hold in and escaped airily out of his mouth. The held back laugh was turned into a full on giggle that evloved into a solid laugh. Deshi caught himself on his branch just barely so not to fall and fought to stop his raging giggle-fit.

At first, Licorice wasn't sure if Deshi was laughing at her or with her. Eventually though her good nature got the better part of her and she began to laugh too, continuing to bounce and wobble on the branch precariously. It didn't matter that she didn't know what exactly they were laughing at -- they were laughing and having fun, and that's all that mattered.
Eventually, however, something interesting caught Licorice's eye, and she paused, the branch still bobbing her up and down. What she had seen was a beautiful flower bud, lying within easy reach on a thick, nearby branch. "Ooooh!" she exclaimed, staring at the bud with large round eyes. "Isn't that pretty!" She clambered up the tree to the proper branch and patted the flower gently.

Gasping to catch his cool again, Deshi's bright eyes looked over to where Licorice was now, observing, "huh?" The fat blossom really was pretty! All those silky pedals! With out even thinking about his awkwardness and feeling a little braver now that he had a good laugh- and even ended up laughing with Licorice! That had to be a plus in the right direction after all. Deshi hopped over to the flower choosing to look at it from the opposite side.
"Wow, it smells nice too!" He exclaimed as he took a little sniff of it's light aroma. He almost fidgeted as he realized he wasn't just smelling the flower, Licorice had a soft sweet smell herself... Deshi felt a little fluttery in his chest for just a second and then shot away from his position and cleared his throat, his ears were warming up again in embarrassment, "s-s-..erm- so, what do we do now?" He gulped.. He had an idea.. but he was hoping she would say she didn't know and they could just NOT have to pollinate it.. Ha! What were the chances she wouldn't know what to do next though?? Deshi was swimming in his own stomach with a sea of butterflies.
'I'm too young to pollinate my first flower!!!' Was booming in his head.

"Well... we could... ... ...I dunno," she said finally, lying across the top of the blossom and looking at Deshi curiously. It was true; she had no idea what this tree meant aside from the fact that Eggcorns came from it. She didn't know how Eggcorns were made, or that this bud was one that could be pollinated. She did have a strange urge to brush her tail over it, however...
"I think it's too pretty to pick, so we shouldn't do that... Um... we could just marvel at its beauty?" she suggested, showing off her knowledge of the word 'marvel'. Licorice giggled at her own sentence, wiggling a bit and making the branch jiggle slightly. "Heyyy, I wonder if we can make the flower open up? I dunno how to do that without pulling the petals, though."

He looked a little surprised, "you don't know how to make a bud bloom?" He asked her curiously. He grew up with a Yumi, back home, that prided himself in his knowledge of this mystical tree. If Deshi wanted to, he could make his own book on this dumb tree.. even if all of it would be based off second hand knowledge.
Deshi took a deep breath, he was fighting the fact that it would mean a lot to his family if he would go through with this 'breeding'... but first he'd give Licorice her present... that would give him some time t make up his mind about chickening out or not... Nipping the little robbon that held the box around his neck he picked it up off his fluffy chest and placed it infront of him. Staring at the box he nodded to it, "erm- Li-Licorice? ...That's for you..." he mumbled.

"No, I don't... ... Do you?" she asked, impressed that Deshi would know of such a thing. She was about to ask him how to do it when he presented a small gift to her. "Oh... f-for me?" she stammered, unsure of what to do. Getting gifts was fun and all, but she hadn't expected him to give her one... "Well... Um... Thank you!" Licorice finally decided to say, a big smile on her face. Without waiting she ripped into the small package, stuffing the paper in the back of her tail so that she could throw it out properly when she got back home.
"Oh wow... It's beautiful..." she exclaimed, gently pulling the object out of its box. It was a slender necklace, made of the most lovely pearls she had ever seen. The centerpiece of the necklace was a large glass sphere, which reflected the light of the sun and created little rainbows on the flower bud. "Wow.... Thanks sooooo much, Deshi! I'll treasure it always."
