The Diligence of Lady Cheria 🎀 February (Post-Budwake) Catch-All
Who: Cheria and your character!
When: After Budwake, through to the end of February.
Where: Here and there~
What: With a busy Budwake experience behind her, no one would blame Lady Cheria for resting on her laurels after the close of festivities. Yet even as she takes the time to indulge some of her fancies, she remains as committed as ever to be of use to the people of Rosavelle.
Anything Else: The first prompt might feature/discuss various injuries, depending, while the second prompt touches on Cheria's worries about her weight. Otherwise, should be clear?
1 ❧ Doing the Rounds ❧ Various Locations
[Between the kitchens, the gardens, and the daycare, Cheria had no shortage of things to do during Budwake preparation. It seemed like every day ended with her faceplanting directly into bed and blacking out immediately (and, to her shame, sometimes without even properly washing off first; but fortunately none of her friends from home are around to call her out on her hygiene, and anyway she always made sure to bathe in the morning before heading out again). But it was a good kind of exhaustion, the kind rooted in the knowledge of good work done well. To see so many people, local and guest, band together for a common goal inspired her, filling her with the energy she needed to not let everyone else down. It reminded her of her work with the relief organization.
But the very nature of the relief organization necessarily meant there was suffering, and tragedy, and sadness. Rosavelle's Budwake had been a pure expression of joy and hope, a belief in better things just around the corner if one just keeps going a little bit longer. It's those precious seeds that Cheria hopes she can nurture for the organization when she returns home to Ephinea.
For now, Cheria's managed to find familiar work accompanying Doctor Lavande as an assistant on follow-up care around Rosavelle for anyone who went juuusst a little bit too far during Budwake. It's clear that even aside from her magical glowy hands of healing, she's experienced in tending to the sick and injured, with a gentle — some might say angelic — bedside manner. That being said, if you insist on pushing yourself or otherwise being a dummy about doctor's orders, she absolutely will put her foot down and attempt to scold you into submission.she's played these games before!!]
2 ❧ Dressing For Success ❧ Printemps Boutique
[Cheria remains as starry-eyed as ever about the abundance of both the beautiful fashions of Rosavelle and the time to just leisurely browse everything on offer. While she's by no means a rich girl, thanks to the additional pocket money she's picked up from various odd jobs she can afford a certain level of wardrobe that, she thinks, would surely be beyond her means back home. It's a little (or a lot?) frivolous, she knows, but...surely she deserves a little treat or two, right?
On either a day off or when she's finished with work, Cheria can be found perusing the latest selections at Printemps Boutique. Of course she doesn't actually need anything thanks to the capable royal tailors, but gosh, that gown has such lovely lace, and those jeweled barrettes might go so nicely with a blouse she has...
Potential sub-prompts:
❀ A planned shopping trip with a friend~
❀ Fashion tips! Cheria's no expert, but she's got her own sense of taste and will offer opinions (either spontaneous compliments or in response to being asked)
❀ Cheria trying on something and asking the dreaded question: "hey, does this make me look...fat?" (she is 5'3" and 104lbs, you do the math)]

1, February 12th, forget-me-not dorm;
So! The day after Haruhi brought her home from the after-till feast, Ena wakes up shortly after sunrise with a groan, drags herself out of bed, and faceplants with a heavy thud just outside her room as her sore, slightly bruised legs finally inform her they are not interested today and will be going on strike. She just... lays there staring for a long moment, before she sighs and pushes herself onto her rear end, figuring out what she's going to do. But really, she doesn't have any other options, does she?
Whether she catches Cheria on her way out or gets a message out to Doctor Lavande afterward, Ena can eventually be found back in her bed with her legs propped up on an extra pillow, having somehow managed to at least wash up first, looking miserable. Or at least very, very bored.]
Dressing For Success
As such, trying to focus on the blistering array of high fashions means her attention is wandering enough that she doesn't notice Cheria until she almost bumps right into the other lady. "Oh! Er, shucks, sorry about that. I really gotta pay more attention..."
She rubs her head ruefully. At this rate she's just gonna knock the entire place over with her meandering. "Ah forget it, this was a bad idea. I'll figure somethin' out. Sorry again, miss."
Taiki tips her stetson (oh shoot, should she have taken it off when she came in?) at Cheria before starting to step away.
