Anything with a lot of color. But our summers would always get very hot and humid, so not all flowers survived that well. The resilient ones are my favorite. [ ... ] And I suppose carnations are nice.
[ in fact, they reach over once they reach a stall and pull out a red one to show her. ]
I've worked with them on and off. Think I mentioned before I've had plenty of jobs before this. Some of them were working with flowers. Creating wreaths, replanting flowerbeds, things like that.
[ they also grab a pink one to show her the difference. ]
They come in a lot of colors, and they're easy to work with. [ a pause. ] But I think I like them because it was the first flower someone ever gave to me. A white one, with a little baby's breath.
We can grab several kinds and take them back to the mansion. I can help you pick the best ones that'll still look nice when they dry.
[ little task! but oh, yeah. ]
I didn't know them at all then, no. At the time, they were someone I'd met once, because their friend meddled to tell me they thought I was cute. [ they sound both amused and exasperated by this. ] They sent me the flower as an apology so we could try again.
I think continuing to do what you were working on before last weekend is a start. Reflecting on your lives, meeting new people, learning a little more about who you are and what you want to return to... things like that. God's taking all of that into account. And after everything I think the important thing is to keep going.
It's seven. In a lot of places, it's common for it to be seven, but maybe not everywhere. I wonder if anyone else works on a different calendar. [ they are curious how many days are in their year then, but will refrain from asking since i will not force you to think about that if you guys don't actually know. ]
This must have felt a little confusing for you then.

[ but oh??? ]
You were gifted a flower? Was this from someone you knew well?

Oh...! That's very sweet of them. Did you... try again, then?
no subject
For a little while, yes. We didn't last very long as a couple, but we're still friends. I think we always would have worked better that way anyhow.
no subject
Have you found anyone else since then?
no subject
[ and because they see no reason to avoid a direct question: ]
But I have, yes. They have, too. We were all fairly close. [ they say "were" because, well, they are here. ]

Do you know how long this trial of redemption will be for us?
no subject
It's seven more weeks now. [ they say, not realizing that metaphors have extremely weird weeks. ]
no subject
[ yeah. ]
Is there anything we ought to do during this time, to ensure we do not stray from the path of redemption?
no subject
[ but hold the hell up. ]
—did you say 35 days?
no subject
Yes, seven weeks.

Oh! I believe they used a similar system in ancient times. This will take some getting used to...
