Athanasios looked at the spider lilies that had been brought out. But, he was not the one who reached it first. "Lycoris!" It was Selene who did so. She came out from behind him and was now at the counter looking at the pot of spider lilies like a child and a delicious cookie. That expression was certainly something to the audience. After all, she had clearly shown to be uncomfortable around other people. She would mostly stick close to him and Vicentius. Her expressions would be strictly limited to a frown. However, she was blazing through with her eyes sparkling like a sea of stars. "I'll plant them later." He said while giving her head a pat.
"Sunflower, Wisteria, Lotus, Hydrangea, Marigold, and Dahlia for now." That is what Athanasios wants for now. He was certain that he would add more as the days go by. After all, he wants a place where he could take a nap comfortably. He listed it down and handed it to Aila. "Arthur, plant more Lycoris!" Selene looked up to him as she was now holding a pot of the spider lily as if it was some kind of precious treasure. Her expression was quite bright as well. It never ceases to amaze him how much of an actress she is. Then again, she is well-versed with emotions more than anyone he knew. "Okay." He caressed her face ever so gently. It was at that point Vicentius shifted attention to them.
Selene inwardly growled at what Vicentius was implying with his words. "Vic..." She was clearly hesitant as her hold on the pot of spider lily tightened. Her brightened expression shifted into that of doubt. Athanasios understood what Vicentius meant with the look given to him. "You can do it." He reached for the pot of spider lily from her hands. She did not give it away as she looked down. A few minutes passed before she released her hold and the spider lily was now secured by Athanasios. "Okay..."
"We--We would like to- thank yo--you..." Selene was stuttering while twiddling with her fingers. It was an adorable sight if it was for the fact that Vicentius and Athanasios knew the truth behind it. "So... We would like li--ke to invite you... I mean..." She stopped a moment and then bit her lower lip, before continuing on. "for... dinner..." Her voice was incredibly soft. "Invite... Ms. Aila... Ms. Amaryllis... Mr. Adrien..." She said those names while looking at the floor. It seems she didn't want to make eye contact because she was extremely shy. Taking one deep breath, "Please come!" After saying that loud enough, she ran to Athanasios' side and buried her face on his back. But one could see that her ears were burning.
