  1. "What didn't you know? I don't see why it being me means that you helping doesn't count."
  2. He kept looking at it, careful not to tug. "Fascinating. I think it's a very nice color." "What do you mean?"
  3. "Oh, get over yourself. I have no interest in either of you." "Well, that's an accomplishment in it's own right!"
  4. "Who are you hiding from?" He delicately picked up a few strands of her hair, examining them curiously. "I don't think I've ever met someone who's hair was naturally green."
  5. "I see. How come you dyed it?"
  6. "So... green is the natural color?"
  7. As she did, he noticed them. "Is that green under the gray?"
  8. He held it to the side of her head, and the stem grew and curved to wrap itself around her ear. It then proceeded to manipulate her hair, forming a small structure to hold it in place. Lerac smiled. "Cool trick, huh? You don't have to keep it there, it's just a fun thing I learned."
  9. "Fair enough. But yeah, go ahead and keep the flower on you. Here, let me see it?"
  10. "Okay. What would you have said? If you don't mind me asking."
  11. He paused, looking taken aback. "Oh. I..." He didn't look embarrassed, just somehow perplexed.
  12. "It looked like something. Was it something I said?" He looked a bit frustrated.
  13. "It'll be just as safe in a bag or anywhere else. And it could be useful to have around if you need to know if I'm okay." He frowned at her. "Really, you looked surprised by something. What was it?"
  14. He saw the expression and looked confused. "What is it?"
  15. "You're the first person I've given it to. Actually, for plant magicians, these flowers are often used in weddings, though most can't make one like this."
  16. "Yep. You could even set it down in some dirt and it would plant itself there. But it is unique. You can't grow new ones from that, and I can't make more than one that connects to me like that."
  17. When she unclenched her fist, the flower was momentarily crumpled, but quickly straightened out and went back to looking normal and healthy. "Apparently, with my life magic, I'm also able to make exactly one of those flowers 'reflect' me. If I get hurt, it wilts. If I die, it dies."
  18. "It's my flower. Everyone from my planet with ability to grow plants has one flower they can grow by instinct, unique to them. Try crushing it in your hand."
  19. "Okay." He grew a small yellow flower, picked it, and handed it to her. "Here."
  20. He sat still for a moment. "Do you think we'll ever get... tired of each other? After such a long time?"
  21. Lerac shrugged. "They're suspicious of newcomers, and I'm practically an enemy of the state. Once I lashed out at my father, they took it as reason enough for my arrest."
  22. "That was just the guards and my father. Neither of whom like me very much."
  23. "No, most of them aren't. They're a pretty normal people, if not a little tense."
