Clarity of Mind Amid Blossoms

Wow, that was a tall... rabbit? That was what Orchid wanted to say he was, anyway. She'd never seen creatures like Bunnymund before she'd joined the Suns, and so this was her first real experience with one. Nevertheless, Orchid wasn't scared of him. Her guess was that he was a fellow Sun. So whilst she took in what Anna said about her own sister relationship, she inclined her head forward in a polite nod to address Bunny.

"I suppose you're right," she said first to Anna. "And hello to you as well, sir. It is a beautiful day, isn't it?" The unicorn was still inclined to smile in his direction. A smile made more friends than anything else, she thought.

"You caught us in the middle of a conversation, so I do apologize if you only got the tail end of it. I'm Orchid. This is Anna," she introduced. A cloven hoof was lifted from the ground long enough to gesture to herself and her new friend. Then it was set down gently in the grass once more so she could walk a little closer to Bunny and get a proper look. She had to admit that his fur did look quite soft. He also had a sort of air about him that she liked. Perhaps it was sort of a springtime air? She couldn't quite be certain, but whatever it was she had no doubt in her mind that it was pleasant.

"Would you care to join us? I was hoping I could get to know my fellow Enchanted Suns a bit better, and now's as good a time as any to do so," she said. "I wouldn't mind continuing to have this conversation whilst we go on a little walk. If you two are up for it."

As Orchid introduced them, Anna decided honorifics really did not matter for the moment. If they ever saw her in Arendelle, sure - her title drew attention to her often back home, even if it was not as astonished as when the gates had first opened. Now it was more so a sign of friendly respect. Yet out here? Well, she was just another woman in her mind. That was fine. She never really felt the need to flaunt her title as a princess. The amount of royalty this war had brought in made it all kind of pointless anyway. For all she knew, he was king of the bunny people. The royal had to quickly hide a quiet chuckle behind her hand at that thought, biting her lip to force it back as she returned her hand to the other.

The introduction he offered in return was about as amusing to her as bunny people, she had to admit. However, she kept herself more composed this time, and offered a nod and a warm smile. Despite being a bunny, and therefore the name being honestly the most blatantly fitting thing she had ever heard, it really did not suit him beyond that. He sure looked and sounded a lot tougher than anyone she could ever picture being called bunny. Maybe Jack would have been more fitting. He reminded her more of a jack rabbit or a hare than anything else. Perhaps it was a good thing she was too polite to suggest that, though - she had no idea there was a chance his association with the name Jack could see him finding the offer offensive.

"Nice to meet you as well, Bunny," she offered instead. Anna followed Orchid without question as she drew closer to Bunny, and as the idea of taking a walk was offered and agreed to, her smile widened slightly. "I would love to go for a walk," she said, aiming to fall into step alongside Orchid the moment they set off.

Considering the more personal turn the conversation between Orchid and herself had taken moments before Bunny interjected, Anna decided she would skip out that part. Instead, she glanced toward Bunny with her usual bright expression. "We were just getting to know each other - its fascinating finding out the differences between worlds and abilities now that we're all coming together." True, but not too in depth. She still did not know Orchid too well, and while the unicorn had shared more personal information, it felt wrong to touch on such herself.

Anna supposed, however, that answering his question about the flowers would be alright. "Yes, they're beautiful, aren't they? Orchid actually grew them. I'm partial to this one myself," with a laugh, she gestured to the one the unicorn had placed in her hair. It was not just because it was in her hair, either. In her opinion, it was among the most beautiful that the unicorn had grown. Of course, it was very difficult to find any flaws among any of the flowers, and Anna had no intention of looking hard enough to spot any. Another warm smile was cast toward Orchid.

Bunny nodded, a smile on his muzzle. Both ladies seemed awfully polite and kindhearted which made him wonder what they joined this bloody war for in the first place. They must have had their reasons and the rabbit decided not to pry. Instead he marveled at the little horned horse’s abilities. Growing flowers wasn’t something that would shake him to his core of course, he’d seen much stranger things, but it was a pretty, fresh, simple ability and he liked it.

“That’s somethin’,” he said, “You wouldn’t be able t’grow me one like hers, eh? Somethin’ nice I can put behind me ears.” He smirked, winking at the unicorn, hopefully she’d know he was joking and she wouldn’t go out of her way.

Tell them about himself? “Oh,” he said, “Well I’m...the Easter Bunny.” To prove himself he pulled another pair of eggs out of his little shoulder bag. He was starting to run out, he’d only brought a few. He handed one to Anna (pink with purple swirls) and one to Orchid (light purple.) “Don’t think you aughta know what Easter is, huh?” He nodded to the horse.

“I make kids happy,” he said, “I hide eggs’n’they find’em.”

"Well, I did grow a few," Orchid told Bunny. Just like that, her horn lit up again and she levitated one of the flowers from the ground up toward Bunny. This one was more yellow in color than anything. If he wanted it, then he could have it. She held the flower up to him while she continued to walk and just smiled. So far, she was liking him quite a bit. He seemed like a very nice fellow, at least so far as the unicorn could tell. His answer about who he was, or what he did, was also pretty intriguing. Easter Bunny?

"Huh," she said. "I don't think my valley knows much about Easter, but it sounds like a lovely thing to celebrate. Especially if it makes the children happy." Perhaps someday she could share the knowledge of it with Sunray. Maybe, if they ever settled down and had colts or fillies of their own, they could tell them about Bunny's holiday. Then they could engage in celebrating it. To her surprise, though, it seemed Anna knew a bit about it.

Anna's childlike excitement warmed Orchid to her very core, and she stopped walking long enough to take it all in. There wasn't any real place or direction she wanted to go anyway. So a small break was nice. She did, however, laugh a little at the idea that maybe Bunny laid eggs.

"Oh, I'm sure he doesn't. There must be some other way to get the eggs, yes?" She tilted her head once again, an action the others must have been familiar with, and turned her gaze back to Bunny. "Would you care to share? I'm rather curious myself."

His response, admittedly, was a bit of a surprise. In fact, it startled Anna to the point of jumping, eyes widening with a gasp. Of course, she did not picture Bunny as the aggressive sort, and when he merely thumped his foot on the ground she found herself not to worried about it. However, from his earlier calm manner, the reaction sure gave her a start. Clearing her throat a little awkwardly, she reached up and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her air as he went about crushing all her childhood Easter memories to dust. Well, perhaps Arendelle had something to learn.

"Afraid not," Anna admitted sheepishly before she bit her lip. Maybe she should not have said anything after all. He seemed quite offended. Still, Anna was curious. She wondered how the supposed bringer of Easter himself could be unaware of the vast traditions. Perhaps he had not quite gotten around to all the new lands since the change? The world was a far different place now than it was two years ago. "Have you ever...been to Arendelle?"

Of course, she found herself distracted the second he pulled out another egg. This one had....legs? "Well," she said with a laugh, "That's new." Somewhat incredulous at the sight, Anna leaned forward to inspect the egg, then peered down at the one in her hands as though expecting it to sprout its own pair any moment. It did not. Well, that was fine.

Clearing her throat, Anna straightened. "Well, you sure have me convinced," she offered, hoping that would ease the offense of earlier. She really did not want any bad blood between them. Though, he seemed friendly enough to be perfectly forgiving of her confusion. She hoped. "I guess we just saw eggs and thought 'easter chicken!' Ya know, chickens lay eggs, which symbolize fertility, which signals spring and new life...At least that's what I was told. I did spend thirteen years shut up in a castle soooo..." Chuckling slightly, embarrassed as she rambled on yet again, Anna decided to cut herself off there and blink at Bunny with bright turquoise eyes in the hope of a resolution.
