[The Dreamberry is seated next to Ada, who can be seen picking and studying flowers in the field. She looks rather happy about it, humming softly to herself.

While she has a number of different flowers gathered in a small bouquet at her side, she still seems determined.]

I wonder what sort of flower Miss Vanessa would like.

[LONG SUFFERING SIGH.]

Lesson one: don't choose a flower for someone based on what it looks like! An ugly flower can have a beautiful meaning, and something that you find pleasing can send the wrong message!

[...flinches.]

R-right! Sorry...

[Ada should have seen that coming, really, but she'd wanted to do something nice in return and well... for the subject at hand, it really was the only gift she could think of. She probably should have done some studying first too... This certainly wouldn't be easy.]

[Admittedly, she could have said all of that a little nicer, but. Well. THIS IS IMPORTANT, OKAY. But she does calm her tone before speaking again.]

Tell me. What message are you hoping to send to me along with that flower?

purethingsonly June 16 2011, 03:23:45 UTC

[Right. Message... It was admittedly much harder to say to Vanessa's face than it might have been to just hand her the flower and say thank you, especially now that she'd been scolded already. But Vanessa deserved to hear it.]

Ah... well... I really just wanted something to show you how grateful I am for what you're doing for me.

They are very beautiful flowers. Though don't they die from being picked?

purethingsonly June 13 2011, 04:13:18 UTC

I suppose you're right, but I think they'll make a lovely bouquet. And you can dry them and preserve them after they die too!

wantrobotgarden June 13 2011, 13:18:51 UTC

So your preserving them to make them last longer? How is that done?

purethingsonly June 16 2011, 03:28:47 UTC

Well, if kept, they'll dry out eventually. They become brittle and delicate, but they can still be kept and they'll still look lovely.

Or I suppose you could simply press them.

Hmm? Miss Vanessa taught someone? [laughs.] Hopefully it wasn't how to shout at people. [he has such an amused, cheerful smile when he says this.]

purethingsonly June 13 2011, 04:18:01 UTC

Well, she hasn't taught me yet... but she's promised to.

[Blinks. From the sounds of it, he at least seems to know her fairly well, right?]

Are you a friend of Miss Vanessa's?

[This was her first time meeting someone other than Elliot who seemed to associate with Miss Vanessa... it was probably that strong personality of hers that kept many at a distance.]

knightofchanges June 13 2011, 04:20:31 UTC

A friend, hm? [smiiiiiiiles.] Something like that, yes. I know how rather well, anyway.

So she is teaching you how to shout at people? [amusement all over.]

purethingsonly June 13 2011, 04:30:08 UTC

Ah! No! I didn't mean it like that!! I mean...! She's going to teach me the language of flowers.

[A bit of flailing as she quickly corrects this miscommunication... she recieved enough shouting directed at her as it was.]

My name's Ada Vessalius. Pleased to meet you. [Bows her head politely, still a bit flustered over the whole mess.] It's nice to meet someone Miss Vanessa is close to... I really didn't think she had many friends.

[Was it a bit cruel to be surprised to think she had them? Ada was happy to think she was wrong though now.]
