It's not and you know that. [ Sticks tongue out at him in a blep. But takes the tease with stride. It's familiar. ]
Mm.. Yves helped run me through some colors after the trial when I explained what some of the whispering was. [ Said sheepishly, albeit warmly. They're kinda learning!! Blinking a bit, they smile a little at the offer. ]
You don't have to, you already gave me that crown of flowers before. [ Even if they weren't real flowers, it counts to them! ] But, I won't stop you.
Ah, dear Yves is becoming a bit of a teacher himself, it seems. Is it helpful for you? [He wonders how easy or hard it is to memorize colors based just on how light or dark an object is, especially when there are so many shades of each color... SOUNDS HELLISH.]
Mm, true, but I gifted that to you before knowing of your custom! This one will be different.
[IT'S JUST MORE FLOWERS but he'll move over to take a look at some of the arrangements, tapping his fingers against his chin as he goes.]
...It is. [ It's definitely helping. And Siffrin is happy to spend time with Yves, their wings doing a happy little flutter at the thought of it. Ahem. ] We took photos so if I ever need to remember, I can look at them again.
[ It's something to do so they don't mind trying to memorize. Even if they'll likely forget when they go back, forget all about colors when they no longer exist again but that's okay.
Quietly, they follow after him, peering at the flowers before tilting their head. ]
So many..? I'm mostly just darkless and lightless, right? [ Gestures first with their cloak then gestures secondly to their eyepatch. ]
I'm glad he was able to think something up for you.
[YVES IS CUTE! HE'S THE BEST!!!! But he'll just nod, gesturing toward the flowers and letting his fingers rest lightly against the petals of a yellow daffodil.]
Each flower has its own meaning. This one, for example, could mean friendship, but it can also mean strength in the face of adversity. Lovely, isn't it?
[ Siffrin just nods, even if they are very happy about it too.. it's so nice. Yves is sooo nice. Warm and kind. Like a little peak of sunlight. Anyway........... ]
..Yeah, it is. I didn't realize they could have more than one meaning, too.
[ Interesting! ....Oh. Something comes to mind. ]
Um... what would... "Forget-me-nots" mean? Out of curiosity.
They can! It depends on context, or even on what other flowers you pair them with. I've heard other places have different interpretations, as well?
[Flower language is just a hodgepodge mess... At the question, though, his head tilts to the side.]
Forget-me-nots? Hm, let's see... If I'm remembering right, the most obvious interpretation is remembrance. It can also mean long-lasting connections, though.
[ A little ray of sunlight in this dank ass heaven. Lucas is also soft though. ]
I didn't realize it was that complex.
[ How interesting! A certain flower shop keeper back in Dormont sure didn't share as much. But quietly listens, almost intently, waiting on the answer and... oh. Their shoulders dip, partly in relief. ]
[ zia voice you wake up knowing what dank ass means
Siffrin can tell that they're being teased here, they can Feel it, but it's.. familiar. Similar in the ways that Odile would tease them so they aren't bothered by it. Just mumbling and hiding their face with HAT. ]
[ What can they say? Clearly Lucas should know... that's not their fault.. at least it was enough time to recompose themselves, lifting their head again so they aren't in hiding shy animal mode.
They do offer a helpful wink. ] I'm sure you'll figure it out.
That's right, yes. [A nod! He is charmed by how carefully they're holding these flowers...] These ones are yellow, and those are blue. The yellow ones are called pansies, and they're generally associated with positive energy. The blue ones are called bluebells, and I chose them because they can represent kindness. Kind and warm, the way you've been to me and to others.
[ Listen, what if they accidentally crush these pretty flowers.. after Lucas clearly put thought into it? Devastating. They listen, nodding along the explanation. Peering at the bluebells and ah, yeah. It is blue. Right in the name at that. Though those meanings come in and hm
they blush again. Tucking the bottom of their face into their cloak collar. ]
[ Huff... not pouting but, maybe a little. Still cradling those flowers gently as they peer at them. Part of them wonders how they look in Lucas' eyes. With color. ]

The problem is, so many of them could suit you.

Ah, wonderful! A very wise idea and a very good way to make a reference book.
[A reference photo album... At the question, though, there's another little mischievous sort of look.]
Oh, yes - certainly any number of colors could suit you well. But I was referring to the meaning behind the flowers, you see.
no subject
It is, isn't it? It was Yves's idea.
[ Yves is sooo smart and kind. pleading face. Blinks at that expression, head tilting to the other side. Huh. ]
Flower meanings?

no subject
It's a little surprising, isn't it? How many different ways people can interpret the same thing.
[Though there's a little sparkle of gremlin amusement in his expression at that, and his head cants to the side.]
Did you pick forget-me-nots for someone?
no subject
Though their cheeks flush, bringing a hand to tug down their hat to hide their face. ]
..No.
[ Yes. ]

He tries for all of 2 seconds to resist the urge to tease, but he is like a shark that smells blood in the water...]

He probably told you anyway.
[ Maybe. Just assumes this. ]
no subject
NOT THIS GIANT HAT SHIELD. Lucas won't invade their space, but he does leeean comically to the side like he's trying to peer under the wide brim.]
Hm, I'm not certain I know what you mean?
[BLINKING OWLISHLY. Are these truthing eyes or lying eyes the world will never know.]

Then I guess you don't know.
[ They're not saying it!!! ]

no subject
You have so much faith in me, my dear... I'm really going to need to prove myself now.
[But he will stop circling them to go back to the flowers so he can pluck a few yellow pansies and bluebells.]
Here you are.
no subject
Gingerly holds these flowers like they're gold. ]
These are... "yellow"? [ The pansies. The bluebells though are pretty. ] ..What do these flowers mean?
no subject

they blush again. Tucking the bottom of their face into their cloak collar. ]
Oh.
no subject
I think they suit you very well, at least! And now I can say I've given flowers to a dear friend, in your traditions.
no subject
..Thank you. I'll take care of them.
no subject
[Said brightly, lightly, UNAWARE THAT THIS WEEK IS GOING TO TAKE SUCH A FUCKING TURN!!!! My god. But for now:]
Shall we keep exploring together for a bit longer?
no subject
But they'll nod, happy with this. Explore together in nice chill quiet vibes. FREES US FROM THIS PC. ]
