Description
Continuing Mireille's visit!
I don't know if anyone had suggested this, but here they are making flower crowns together and helping out Rose by making flowercrowns, which can later be put through the process (a secret technique to make flowers last longer) and be put on display in the store as merch blessed by Gaia.
Story Behind the drawing:
After playing Kick the can for a long period of time, they all got tired and wanted to do something else. During the game, Mireille had noticed the large amount of flowers that had been growing around the area and suggested that they helped their mother by making some accesories like bracelets and crowns. It didn't take long before the children had already gone their separate ways in order to pick some pretty flowers that they could use. Mireille didn't even get to suggest something else and it was obvious that they were thrilled to do this. She didn't really understand why, but happily looked at the joy in their faces. It turns out that to these children, the idea of helping their mother was something that they always wanted to do. They knew very well that despite their mother's tendency to complain about the sun, waking up, cleaning up and cooking, she did them anyway and did her best to care for her children. They also knew how she was doing her best as deity, priestess, shop owner and for now single mother, so they wanted to lessen the burden on her as much as possible, but she hardly ever asked them for help, and when they asked if they could, she would always be reluctant. She didn't want them to waste their childhood on work like she did. Now since it was a suggestion from Mireille, they thought that it was fine for them to help out and happily did so. Jasmine thought that making flowercrowns was fun as well and she was also pretty good at it. She quickly made a beautiful flowercrown that Mireille praised her for. Jasmine felt great joy from the praise and then decided to give it to her eldest sister, like a memento of her visit. In the meantime Mint struggled making hers, because compared to the rest, she had much less dexterity. It went so badly that Basil had to come and guide her. Sakura too couldn't make flowercrowns, though not because of her lack of dexterity, but rather because Olive started wandering off chasing a butterfly. Mireille was about to go catch her, but Sakura was already on the job and she felt that she could leave it to Sakura seeing how Sakura was so good at handling her siblings. It was honestly a rahter calm and nice bonding day.

I have worn flower crowns several times in my adult life, but I have never been able to make my own. All the ones I've worn have been fake flowers or made by others with real, dried out flowers. Basil, I'm definitely going to need your help with the floral tape, as I am not good layering flowers around a hoop of wire except in "make your own wreath" games for Christmas time. Mint, you are not alone.
It's great to see all of Rose's children playing together, even Sakura is not playing so much as preventing her energetic youngest sister from wandering off here.

Haha same (never bought one though, always tried them in stores hoping I would look good but sadly no ). I tried making them once in elementary school and my friends tried to teach me, but I seriously failed... oh well, I was at least good at something they weren't
Haha sorry but Basil is a lousy teacher, he might be trying to help Mint, but his lack of teaching skills makes it hard for her to understand and follow his steps So I can say that a part of why Mint isn't getting any better is because Basil's instructions are just down right horrible.
Yeah Sakura has to try and help look after Olive, because one person (Mireille) can only look after a certain amount of children besides she isn't used to watching others in the first place. Rouge is always the one doing it, never Mireille on the ship, and then there is Law watching her and Rose as well... in other words, she has always been the one being watched over and never the one doing the watching

You have good friends. All I got to do was make God's Eyes with string and crossed sticks when I was a kid, and I needed help every time i needed to change string colors. Although, I will admit to being pretty handy by myself once I got to my second woven bolt of fabric on a loom in high school. I wound the thread, strung the loom, and wove patterns using printed guides once the instructor showed us once or twice.

Yeah I think so too, which is why I felt bad for still being unable to do it even with their help...

Thanks!!!
I do try to make sure that they're not overlapping each other (though I kinda find it a bit hard with both Sakura and Olive being the adventurous and curious type... maybe I'll change one of them someday ) However I am happy to see you liking them all!!

Yeah I really tried to make it a sweet scene showing some dynamics and relationships, as well as talents in other words I wanted to better introduce what kind of people they each are through more artwork than text I am happy that I seemed to succeed. Sakura doesn't often take the older sister role, not with Natti around at least, but since Mireille isn't doing the best job, she needs to step in and help look after at least Olive Not that Mireille is doing a downright horrible job, I mean as you said, she is being a good sister acknowledging Jasmine's flowercrown
Btw it is true that Basil is helping Mint in her weaker areas, but it is also kind of showing one of Basil's. He sucks at teaching, it is why Mint is scratching her head, because Basil always comes with over the top and too detailed instructions for her to be able to remember and follow Though I admit that it isn't the most obvious thing here
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I did try to convey some more info about them through this and make it a nice setting and memory Thank you as always very very much!!!
