I've been reading up on it, but all the books say different stuff.

[ he sounds. a bit sulky about it. ]

Nope. Just the red ones. I like the color, an' that's as far as I get.

[foodbin]

They do? About what, specifically?

[She tilts her head, even if she lets the last thing part slide.]

...Before I forget, though, I wanted to say thank you.

[leaberator]

Flower meanings. They're a lot more varied between places than you might think. It's almost like it ain't an exact science or something.

[ the jokes aside, though-- he blinks ]

Thank you? For what?

[foodbin]

Oh. Yeah, I think I know more about the science than I know about the meanings, even if I might know a little.

[She gives a small shrug.]

...I should have trusted what you said yesterday. That's all.

[leaberator]

What, you secretly a botanist?

[ ... ]

I mean, I had nothing to do with any of that. I just knew what she had.

[foodbin]

...Is it secret when anyone can see it on the scrolls they have up for each of us?

[...]

Still.

[leaberator]

[ his player can't read and forgot ]

It's a secret if you never talk about it.

[ so. there? hm. ]

I'm not gonna accept a thank you for something I had nothing to do with.

[foodbin]

It hasn't really come up yet. Why did you think I spend so much time in here?

[She shakes her head.]

Maybe not with how it actually turned out, but... You were trying to make sure I wasn't as worried, right?

[leaberator]

I dunno. I meet people in here all the time.

[ like 90% of his pcs are here? wow ]

... Well, yeah, but. Is that really worth thanking me for? It only came up 'cause you were worried about me.

[foodbin]

Well... I come here because it reminds me of home. Before everything went to shit, at least.

[She laughs, though there's not much humor in it.]

Remember when you told me you'd take a compliment if it was true? It... means a lot to me. I know I'm not really the most optimistic person in the world.

[leaberator]

... Me too.

[ he doesn't say much about the home subject outside of that. ]

Well, I wouldn't exactly call you a pessimist, either. It's not like tryin' to cheer you up is some kinda chore I gotta do.

[foodbin]

Yeah, I'm still sticking with that thank you.

[leaberator]

[ he sighs, dramatic ]

Okay, okay, fine. You're welcome, but it's a weird thing to thank people for!

[foodbin]

What, are you calling me weird?

[leaberator]

If the shoe fits...

[foodbin]

I'm wounded.

[leaberator]

Eh, you'll live. Weird's better than boring, right?

[foodbin]

I'd settle for neither.

[leaberator]

Eh, normal's overrated. I've been weird my whole life, an' it's worked out for me so far.

[foodbin]

I don't know about that. I'd be okay with things being more average in general for a while, you know?

[leaberator]

... Yeah. I do. But things being average is different than people. Taking a break from wild adventures doesn't mean you can't still be special.

[ it started off weird, but okay ]

[foodbin]

...Fair enough. In that case, the same goes to you.

[leaberator]

Hey, I was in the middle of a break before I got dropped here.

[foodbin]

Oh, no, I meant the part about you being weird.

[leaberator]

I admitted to it, didn't I? It's not a big secret.
