How to find a Man: Floretta's Unexpected Journey

As the short term of the sun set for the minimal day at House Lyyn, a girl's eyes flickered open and a dainty arm snuck its way out from under the silky sheet. A leg slid out and searched for the floor, finding some crumbs and a wrapper to crinkle as it rested casually, the noise creating a murmur from under the tousled sheets.

"FLORETTA?!" A feminine shout came down the hall into the sizeable bedroom causing the form under the sheets to violently roll sideways and kick, "Floretta you will be late!"

The form grumbled some and sat up, silky sheets falling like water revealing a pale Pakaasu woman with teal gas, "I am aware of the T-TIME!" Her voice cracked at the last second, almost as though she cried about the time instead of emphasizing it. Standing abruptly, the grumpy girl snatched up a white dress, affixed a plain pendant on her lapel, tossed and then pulled back her hair, and she proceeded to almost dance her way out of her room and down the hallway.

Entering the large kitchen were several workers finishing breakfast preparations and a woman with pale skin and lavender gas, "Mother, my day doesn't start for another three hours. You worry too much." She reached over and touched a white china cup filled with hot liquid before scooping it up and taking a sip, her face contorting in shock over the extreme temperature of the beverage...

The older Pakaasu with the lavender gas crossed her legs and sipped on hot a gelatinous substance in a likewise delicate piece of china, "Yes well, you are up now. And what is that pin for?! How ugly!"

"Oh mother," tantalized Floretta with a little busty wiggle, "What color flowers will accentuate my figure best today do you think?"

Her mother laughed, "You don't want a husband! What an awful thing to have. I got rid of mine. Oh boy oh boy! Go pick your stupid flowers for your stupid marriage quest. Don't be late for the council meeting. Don't muddy my good name..." The woman took another sip and stuck her arm out for a worker to catch the still mostly full cup as she let it drop towards the floor...

Heading outside, the warm breeze caught Floretta's silky dress as she walked, the ground warm and soft under her feet. She wasn't sure how far she had walked, but after a while she had to take stock of her surroundings... She looked around and found a bush growing white and yellow flowers. Humming softly to herself, Floretta picked three of each and carefully used her plain pin to hold them to her chest. Admiring her creation, she could hardly hear the footsteps that were getting closer and closer...

A young man's voice rang out in the nearby field, "Hello beautiful. I haven't seen you here before."

Startled, Floretta looked around, hoping for the Pakaasu of her dreams...
