[ yves doesn't seem to mind, his gaze drifting toward siffrin's hand but not really pulling way - if anything he tilts his head to lean toward it like that might help close the distance again?
but then siff is pulling away first, and yves just smiles ]
You don't need to say sorry. I don't mind. But... I'd say you're right.
[ he looks thoughtful ]
Should we go to the garden? I can point out shades to you, if it might help to make it easier to reference later. We can take pictures and label them, so you can reference them later if it comes up.
[ Sorry Yves, Siffrin is too afraid of ruining everything. Even if they did take a note of that head tilt and are probably still thinking about it even when Yves patiently smiles at them. ]
..Mm..
[ Little nervous finger taps. Though their head perks up again, blinking at that offer. The.. garden? It comes unexpected, with clear surprise, letting that offer sit. Pictures.. despite how strange some of the technology works, Siffrin does know photos and if they could do all of that then...
(Your heart flutters a little. A strange feeling. Something soft, something warm, and.. oh you- you haven't replied at all.) ]
That is.. if you want to? I'd.. [ ... ] ..Like that.
[ Taking a walk through the garden with their glasses of wine sounds like a nice way to spend their time than to sit and worry about other things. ]
[ very clearly, in terms that can't be misunderstood or doubted. if there is anything yves is good at, it's making it so very clear that he cares very much for the person in front of him. he'll shift so that he can offer his hand then, his wine glass in his other hand.
but they can at least head toward the garden to make good on exactly what he said, taking advantage of all the colors in bloom ]
[ Listen this is geuninely the nicest thing someone has offered to do for them unprompted? Without being asked? They're so touched, they almost want to cry. ]
I am..
[ It leaves with no room to argue coming from Yves, that confidence and clarification. Even if Siffrin questions simply because of bad brain thoughts. Trying to ignore it, focus instead on that offer of a hand that they gently take while holding onto their own glass with their other hand.
As they step into the garden, Siffrin looks quietly around, searching to see if there are any that are familiar. Two of them sorta are but... takes a sip of their wine to chase their nerves. ]
[ yves will look around when they arrive at the garden, curious... and then he'll take a second to squeeze siff's hand first before letting go. he'll offer his own wine glass over as he gives them a smile ]
Can you hold onto this for me? I'll go and pick you a rainbow—that should give us the basic array of colors, and then we can look at different lightness or darkness after. Sounds like a plan?
[ Their gaze flickers back to him at that squeeze, blinking a few before registering what it is he means to do. Siffrin doing their best not to look disappointed when his hand leaves theirs. Without question that they miss the warmth of it.
But they will take his glass with ease and offer a nod. ]

I do want to, and I'm glad you're up for it.

That sounds good to me. Take your time.
