A walk in the gardens
*clarisse and Nanette waiting outside at the fountain by the rose garden*
Clarisse: By God, he sure is late! You told him to meet us here non?
Nanette: Yes, I told him to meet us at the garden after breakfast.
Clarisse: kitten, I’ve got so many gardens! 😆 you should have been more specific. I’d wager he stopped at the orange trees, the scent of the blossoms is so enthralling 😙
*Alphonse running to the girls*
Alphonse: Forgive me, I got held up at the statue plaza admiring all the naked ladies!
Clarisse and Nanette: 😳
Alphonse: The women do not look like that where I’m from.
Clarisse and Nanette: 😵
Alphonse: So, where are we walking?
Clarisse: OH YES, I’d like to show you my flower gardens. These here are my prized red roses, take a smell, what do you think?
Alphonse: Why, they smell just like heaven!
Clarisse: Are you taking notes?
Nanette: I’m going as fast as I can.
Clarisse: And these are my sweetest white roses.
Alphonse: They are so sweet I could eat them! I could... *picks off a petal*
Nanette: *scribbles nervously*
*Nephele runs over*
Clarisse: Oh! The little miss is here! Are you assigning the Duc a flower?
Nephele: Yes. *hands over the flower*
Alphonse: Oh! This is...?
Nephele: it’s a morning glory. It blooms when the light is bright and withers in its absence.
Alphonse: *kneels down* are you trying to tell me something?
Nephele: maybe...
Clarisse: what a morbid thing for a little girl to say! 😅
Nanette: *Scribbles furiously*
Clarisse: Anyways... allow me to show you my Gazebo! I had my gardeners intertwine the roses all over.
Alphonse: this circular, outdoor room is lovely! Whatever is it for? 😊
Clarisse: 🥺
Alphonse: 😊
Clarisse: 😰 *turns to Nanette* What the heavens is the gazebo for?
Nanette: Madame Clarisse, you tell me! I have been here only a few days-
Clarisse: help mE
Nanette: WHY FOR ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS OF COURSE
Alphonse: 🤩
Clarisse and Nanette: 🥶
Alphonse: Lady Nanette, after dinner tonight... could I meet you here, at this gazebo?
Nanette: of course! 😆
Clarisse: 🤩
Bonus
Alphonse: she said yes!
Nephele: I said befriend her, not court her! 😰
