[guestservices]

It does.

[...their hand is a little shaky in his.]

It really does.

[ashenvaliant]

[ squeezes. ]

...

I think I want some fresh air. Care to accompany me to the courtyard?

[guestservices]

Of course. ...did you want - would it be easier if I used a portal, or did you want to walk...?

[ashenvaliant]

I don't mind the walk if you don't.

[guestservices]

I don't mind it, either.

[they'll walk, then!]

[ashenvaliant]

[ walkies…. ]

I didn’t think to ask before, but out of all the rotating locations, which has been the most interesting one to you so far?

[guestservices]

Oh, hmm... that's hard to say. They're all - interesting, in a way, but knowing what went on at them makes it a little difficult to really enjoy them...

[ashenvaliant]

Interesting isn't always enjoyable, but... I get it. The answer to "where would you rather have been stuck" is always "none of them".

[guestservices]

You can say that again...

[they sigh]

[ashenvaliant]

Sadly, none of us were allowed to be picky.

[guestservices]

I suppose not, no...

[anyway, they make it out to the courtyard!]

[ashenvaliant]

[ the courtyard... ]

I feel like I always come here after trials. Not sure why, but-- [ he shrugs. ] Might as well stick with tradition.

[guestservices]

[they hum]

There are worse places to go after a trial.

[ashenvaliant]

Hiding away in my room isn’t always the best option. And… well, I don’t have the knowledge of meanings that someone like Mikazuki might have, but I quite like all the flowers around here.

[guestservices]

They are very pretty. [they tilt their head to one side, considering that for a moment or two.] Do you have a favorite flower?

[ashenvaliant]

I've never really thought about it, beyond aesthetics. Roses are quite classic, though. A bit difficult to work with given they're big and like to stab you, but I've never met someone who hates them.

[guestservices]

[they think about it...]

Do you know, I don't think I ever have, either?

[ashenvaliant]

I wonder if it’s because they’re so deeply entwined with love as a meaning. No one hates being told one way or another than someone who matters to them loves them too.

[guestservices]

[they think about that, too.]

...you may be right about that.

[ashenvaliant]

If it is that, then I don't think that's a bad reason.

[guestservices]

I don't think it is either.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he is going to go and gather some now they're thinking about it. ]

I guess I could ask which colour is your favourite, as you don't have a preference for flower.

[guestservices]

[they wander after him to see what he's gathering!]

Colors... mm, I'm not terribly picky, but I suppose I do like light blue and light green...? [a beat.] Although that doesn't really work for roses, does it.

[ashenvaliant]

A blue rose would be rather striking. [ genetic engineering has not made it in his time! ] Especially if someone made light green ones as well.

But out of the traditional rose colours...?

[guestservices]

Hmm... pink, I suppose.
