Heartsong outfits and apprentices with their presents!

Pirouette - a hand painted, hand carved wooden bear from Muriel
Alverio - a robe with the constellations and arcana on it from Nadia
Rinina - a handmade necklace from Asra. a song from Julian
Daphne - homemade heart shaped jam tarts from Portia
Mirsa - a matching crown from Lucio

It's finally done! I've been kinda working on this for three days straight, oops, whenever I got an actual break from all the nonsense going on

The Heartsong tale did some inspiration, and I was going to draw them all separately, but when I couldn't get the pose for Pirouette to work right I ended up combining them
Pirouette was supposed to be gently stroking the bear and sitting down, lightly kicking his feet, that wasn't working, and I've done things like this before so I decided to do a picture of all of them again

Daphne was very specifically supposed to have a sun hat, but I could not get it to look right but the intention was there and she does wear a sun hat during this, I just couldn't draw it

It didn't occur to me until after I finished this, but I should probably figure out what my apprentices got their apprentice loves for Heartsong, all of my apprentices are dating at least one of my friends' apprentices, so of course they got them things for Heartsong

Pirouette got Muriel dried forget-me-nots, just full stop, in some way he got him dried forget-me-nots, I picked the brush in the tale because it wouldn't go away like the food and drink (nothing wrong with that, was Muriel's favorite food and drink! but something that sticks around is better for Muriel in my mind) and seemed practical for Muriel, but out of the tale canon, Pirouette got him some pressed dried forget-me-nots in some way, and probably made him some tea blends
Alverio grew some flowers from Prakra for Nadia, a bouquet, perfume, anything to give her a taste of her former home, he couldn't make the perfume on his own, but he grew the flowers himself
Rinina knitted Asra a scarf with little bobbles they made themselves, and made a full little speech about how he's the other half of their heart and they love him, and will always love him, and they got Julian a stuffed raven, filled with calming herbs (for anyone new here, Rinina is dating Asra and Julian separately! Asra and Julian are not dating!)
Daphne got Portia a bag full of rare, shiny rocks, worry stones, smooth stones, things that can help her channel her new magic skills, etc. Daphne also brought Pepi a pretty collar, that had a little stone on it
Mirsa got Lucio a decorative hunting knife, aesthetically pleasing and useful for things Lucio likes, such as hunting

Heartsong being a thing made me decide that Muriel full on fell in love with Pirouette at a Heartsong dance, he saw him dancing happily with Valerius, all dressed up, and just smitten, he was already falling hard, but that dance and seeing Pirouette happy? laughing and dancing and everything? Muriel's in love

Mirsa had their hood up until seeing Lucio, who pulled their hood off and did up their hair before putting the crown on their head (with a forehead kiss) and Mirsa is very dumb for the man, they love him so much
