As always she is able to find the way into the Colorful Grove! Just like the rest of the island, this place is blanketed with snow, although here and there the thickly woven vines and branches have provided little shelters where flowers that bloom in the cold are still bright and colorful!<br/><br/>Blossoms is there, sitting off the ground a little, in the nook of a tree where a branch splits off. Her legs dangle below her, kicking back and forth merrily as she takes in the beautiful scenery of the winter wonderland around her. She is still dressed as always, although many of the flowers that typically adorn her do not bloom this time of year.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh hello Rin!"</strong>She calls to the little fire spirit with a wave, beckoning her to come up for a hug!<strong>"What brings you to my grove?"</strong><br/><br/>She listens as the spirit explains the situation.<br/><br/><strong>"Mortals?"</strong>Blossoms looks rather distraught at the news.<strong>"On the island? Oh dear."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Mortals are not the same as me, no not at all."</strong>She says with a shake of her head.<strong>"In fact mortals cannot even find this Colorful Grove! If they become too numerous or bothersome you are always welcome here, you and all of the other happy spirits."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Mortals are always thinking, and this makes it very hard for them to be happy."</strong>She explains her point of view. She seems hesitant to say more, but then makes her mind up and continues speaking.<strong>"Once I spoke with mortals quite a lot, but that was far away from here. I was hoping they would not find this island."</strong>She sighs.<strong>"It is so easy to fail them."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"As to whether they are delicious, they would not be for me. I eat only sunlight and water and berries!"</strong>She says with a laugh.<strong>"Perhaps there is a fox or a wolf about who might know."</strong>
