New Elucien headcanon: in an attempt to learn more about his mate's interests, Lucien (who has barely managed to keep himself alive for the past three centuries or so), tells Elain he'd like to help her out in the garden. Elain, absolutely horrified and definitely unwilling to let him anywhere near her months of hard work (HE KEEPS STEPPING ON THE FRESHLY TRIMMED GRASS) (WHY ARE HIS FEET SO FUCKING HUGE), decides on an alternative option. "Take this potted fern, Lucien, I have no space for it in my garden anymore and I just---" *doe eyes mode activated* "--it just really needs a good home. Would you take care of it, please? For me?" Instantly YES. The plant is now to be defended with his life lest he disappoints his mate. He takes it to his Velaris apartment, finds the *best*, most well-lit spot by the window (he is unaware ferns prefer to grow in shade), and waters it at least three times a day (they should be watered once every 5-10 days).
