Today was hot. Or rather that past few days had been hot but she wasn't too worried since she had been staying in the cool company of her home. But she had work today hence the getup. After she was done with her daytime work she made a point to visit one of Rocket's new admins. After hearing the truth of what had happened to Rowan Wrynn and his confrontation with Katherine she had a burning sense of urgency lit within her.

There was nothing she could do that would make things perfect. And if she didn't act soon then Katherine would continue to burn, break, and kill all the things she held dear. She wasn't going to take that laying down. So she needed to change her approach. Instead of searching for the perfect angle she would just seek help from skilled individuals who would help give her the tools to give her a fighting chance. A much faster alternative than her original method for sure.

So here she was at Elisabeth Fiorelli's flower shop. She hadn't made an appointment ahead of time, which was probably an error on her part now that she thought about it. Serena stared at the 'Closed, out for Lunch' sign on the door and stared down at her bag of goodies. Good thing she came prepared then. Nothing like a lunch meeting with food. She'd prepared some things as a peace offering which should hopefully pave a way to forgive this sudden inconvenience.

Serena rang the doorbell and when the blonde she vaguely recognized as Elisabeth answered she offered her a smile. "Hi there." She said before offering an apologetic glance. "Sorry for the sudden pop in. But I come bearing gifts?" she said as she raised her arms with her bags in her hands. The smell of hot food wafting from them. "I was hoping we could chat over lunch, if you don't mind?" Serena said with a slight flush to her cheeks.

"Oh?" Elisabeth said with surprise. Serena could understand, this was a sudden visit after all. Elisa's Bellossom peaked out from behind her to spy on the bags in Serena's hands. Serena offered her a wink while Artemis, her espeon given to her by Mars, peaked out from in-between her feet also greeted the Bellossom.

"Ah. Well. If you'd prefer to speak here, of course we can. Although if you'd prefer to discuss matters in a more... clandestine environment, that is understandable as well." Serena felt the pressure in her shoulders relax once she found out Elisa wasn't upset with her sudden appearance. She'd been a bit worried about that.

"Ah," Serena said as she glanced around. There wasn't anyone that would be looking or overhearing their conversation. But this wasn't Serena's first rodeo. She knew how to have surreptitious conversations in broad daylight without getting caught. She was quite good at it actually. "What? A girl can't cook another woman lunch without it being suspicious?" Serena asked with a playful twinkle in her eye.

"We could eat in the garden, perhaps?" Elisa offered sweetly, as she opened her backdoor. "I have some seating, or we could picnic." Serena nodded and offered her a smile. "I'm fine with either or. Though I did pack some spill-able things, in case you wanted to take precaution we can eat at a table."

"Well, now I sound very cynical," Elisa said, grinning. "Thank you for lunch, then. I'll show you the bistro table outside." Serena followed behind as the florist led her through the backdoor of her cottage shop into her beautiful garden. Serena shouldn't have been as surprised as she was. This was after all Elisa's trade but Serena really did have her breath whisked away by the beauty of this garden.

What snapped her out of her daze was Serena instantly being surrounded by a Beautifly, Butterfree, and Vivillon. They hovered close, clearly curious of this new visitor and what she brought as humble offerings. "Oh," Serena breathed as she smiled at them. "...Evangeline. Bluebell. Petal. Don't be rude," Elisa said from her seat at the bistro table.

"I'm sorry. I think they're curious about what you've brought with you." Elisa said with a chuckle. Serena shook her head as she brought the bags over to the table with a smirk on her face. "Nothing too fancy." she said before pausing. "You don't have any known allergies correct?" Ah yes, this was the problem with sudden lunch dates. But even if she did have some allergies Serena was sure she brought enough food for Elisabeth to enjoy allergy free.

She began to unpack the items from their prison bags and neatly set them out on the table. The spread she had prepared truly was impressive. For appetizers she had deviled vullaby eggs, and a melon-berry salad. The entrée would be a qwilfish sliders with a sun-dried tomato spread and potato salad. Lastly she prepared some berry cheesecake parfaits to go along with her berry sweet tea.

Once everything was setup she sat down across from Elisa and gestured for her to try anything on the spread. "I hope it's to your liking. And if not let me know. I have some other things I can offer if these don't suit your palate."
