Blinking her eyes slowly, it finally came to her. She pulled a sheet of parchment out and set it aside as she started on her tussie mussie. 'Tussie mussie, is a funny word,' she giggled to herself as she continued to work.
With a smile of confidence, she looked down at her work and admired her handiwork. Neatly and beautifully arranged before her was a bouquet of cherry blossoms, lotuses, and lily of the valley; She did a nice job, if she thought so herself. 'Wonder how Tibi is doing.' she thought as she turned her attention to her partner beside her. Tibi was confused. He was supposed to pick flowers and then she'd read them? So it was code? Tibi scrunched up his face, flipped to the correct page and set to work on his tussie mussie.
He wasn't feeling fantastic about the whole thing, moping as he selected a blue rose, mint and ivy to make up his Tussie Mussie.
Turning to Mina, he managed a smile and held it out to her. Accepting hers, he looked through the text. "Well, we're not in Japan nor in China, soooo, I'm going to go with 'good education' as the meaning for the cherry blossoms, and um.." Tibi looked back to the text. "Lilys of the valley mean trustworthy... annnnd, lotuses are for" Tibi scrunched up his face. "purity, chastity and eloquence."
"Sooo, putting them all together, I'd say that you're getting a lot out of your time at Hogwarts and that you're a well-behaved, well-spoken student that can be trusted."
Tibi looked up from his text, knowing it wasn't a very good reading. He shrugged. "You turn, I guess."
