[dignity_misery]

[Her apartment is full of flowers, each set addressed to a different individual. Even her canvas has flowers painted on it and on the floor her puppy is eating flowers. She doesn't know what the fuck has come over her, and for this instant she's questioning it,]

I don't... give people flowers. Why did I buy all of these...

Coriander? Really?

[dignity_misery]

[She is actually kind of mortified.]

Yes. Really.

[itsjustafruit]

[As she should be.]

I don't know what kind of merit I could be concealing. It's all right there for the world to see.

[Says the demon who was around when floriography was au courant.]

[dignity_misery]

Any merits you have are a surprise to us both.

[It had something to do with feeding her cake in a hospital.]

[trenchknives]

Huh. Interestin'. They're pretty -- d'you know what they mean?

[dignity_misery]

It was clearer yesterday.

[trenchknives]

Well, I'm just gonna take it as something good, then.

[dignity_misery]

Nothing rude.

[Unless projecting her old boyfriend on him counted as rude.]

[worldofourown]

[ So. Many. Flowers. Fortunately it's not as unsettling as it should be. He knows most of their meanings. He's always had a fondness for blue roses, back home. ]

It's a floriography curse.

[dignity_misery]

You don't have to keep them.

[She does not like this expressing her feelings to people nonsense.]

[worldofourown]

[ He shrugs a shoulder, letting a little smile flit across his face, ]

I don't mind a bouquet. The ivy fits, in any case. [ The other two selections make him feelsy, though, so they shall not be mentioned. ]

[dignity_misery]

You were the only husband I'll be needing.

[mortemscintilla]

[ He doesn't speak hanakatoba, nor care for it. By nature, he's suspicious of gifts anyway. ]

The City thought it was a good way to waste your money.

Private/Unhackable

[dignity_misery]

maybe it's karma.

[mortemscintilla]

You conned people in another life.

[ It's a assessment, not a question. There's a spectrum of individuals Carla fits in well with; embezzlers, racketeers and paper-hangers. White collar criminals. ]

Private/Unhackable

[dignity_misery]

[There is a long pause. Because. Well.]

it's easy.
i meant that i enjoyed february too much last year.

You always know how to make a boy feel special.

[dignity_misery]

You're easily pleased.

[...tsun tsun tsun]

[signatures]

That's true, but you still didn't have to.

[synanthrope]

Oh.

Flowers.

[dignity_misery]

You don't have to keep them.

[Really, this is embarrassing enough as it is.]

[synanthrope]

Why wouldn't I?

[othersdie]

The mourning brides are nice. I've never understood the aesthetic appeal of tamarisk.

[dignity_misery]

You're the only one I picked it for.

[Because she loves to make you feel special.]

[othersdie]

Thank you.

[Yeah, it's a curse. They are nice flowers, though.]
