Markus face lit up, smiling bright and happy. “Thank you so much, Oliver!”, he was obviously very happy about it. He did indeed love it! He loved flowers, and now he had a crown made out of flowers!
“It’s far better than any other crown I had to wear.”, he told him with a smile.

He happily picked a few flowers, carefully tying them together. He wasn’t sure about flower crowns, but he could twist and tie some flowers together for a ring!
“Here.”, he offered the little flower ring to Oliver with a smile.

Markus was very happy being outside and on a field. He may not be able to see a lot, nor very well, but he could tell how green the grass was, and he could see the flower field ahead as well.

He lot go of Oliver’s hand to happily run ahead, skipping. He twirled around, laughing soft and happily. “Look Oliver! How beautiful the flowers are!”, he called, a bright smile on his face. He was really happy to be up and moving, outside.

He raised an eyebrow, watching him with an amused look on his face. Markus must have been kept in built up areas for a while to have that reaction to seeing flowers. Or perhaps he was genuinely interested in them.

Oliver followed behind him, picking up some of the flowers as he went. He carefully intertwined the flowers together and caught up with Markus, placing the flower crown on his head.

Markus was very happily walking through the flowers, looking over the blur of colours. He loved flowers, and nature, a lot. He loved the garden of his castle and spend a lot of time there, but he never really got to see anything else other than that. And he very much loved to see these wild flowers, even if he could barely make them out.

He was surprised when Oliver set something onto his head, curiously reaching up and touching it.
“What did you make?”, he asked, curious. He could feel flowers. What had Oliver made out of them? He had no idea, but he was very interested.

“I don’t know. Maybe you’d find someone you want to stay with. Maybe you’d find something else you’d like doing.”, Markus hummed, smiling lightly. “I hope if you do find someone one day, if you want to have someone that is, that they’ll happily be willing to wait for you as you travel.”.

He was very happy he got to travel with Oliver. He knew he couldn’t always travel like Oliver did, he was king, and had to stay in his castle most of the time. He wondered if Oliver would really never want to stay in one place.

The thought of ‘ finding somebody ‘ hadn’t occurred to Oliver. There had been a few people that had brought it up to him, but he hadn’t considered it as an option. But Markus made him consider it.

“Maybe. I don’t think anyone would want me to stay with them for too long, though. Most people, at least.”

“Well, I at least want you to stay with me as we travel.”, Markus said and giggled softly. “I’d never force you to do anything you wouldn’t want. Not that I think you’d want to stay in Elysium.”, he hummed. Oliver hadn’t seemed like he wanted to stay there, hadn’t he even mentioned he had been there before?

“But we’re traveling for now, so no reason to worry about it, right?”, he said and smiled at Oliver.

“I don’t know. Maybe you’d find someone you want to stay with. Maybe you’d find something else you’d like doing.”, Markus hummed, smiling lightly. “I hope if you do find someone one day, if you want to have someone that is, that they’ll happily be willing to wait for you as you travel.”.

“I’d like to go to the fields!”, Markus replied with a bright smile. He also didn’t want to be on any boats for quite a long time if he could. But fields, they sounded the best. He was afraid a forest would be too dimly lit for him, and mountains made him think of the border of his kingdom -surrounded by mountains. So fields sounded like a dream.

“I’ll feel like I’ve been everywhere at the very least!”, he replied with a bright smile and happy giggle. He knew he couldn’t go everywhere, but so many places he’s never been to!

He had been traveling with his brothers since he was a young child; he couldn’t remember anything clearly from before he had started. Oliver was glad that Markus seemed to like the idea of it. Traveling alone was one thing but he missed the company.

“…years. I think I was about six when we started moving from place to place.”

“Wow.”, Markus was a little amazed. How could someone be traveling for all their life? He couldn’t imagine how that must have been like, though he could somewhat understand that Oliver felt trapped if he stayed in one place for long. He wasn’t used to that.

“Do you think you’ll ever settle down somewhere?”, he asked then, curious. Maybe Oliver did think about such things! He was very curious.
