Oh...? Might I ask what it is?

[he's so curious,]

Ah... They did. It was rather menacing. I am trying to decipher their origin, and so I thought I best begin by seeing whether it was an anomaly or a pattern.

[agleam]

Sure. It was the cross stitch one, everything else seemed... weird. All it does is make two people have negative feelings about each other, though, and I don't want to do that to anyone.

[a pause, though, before he sounds concerned.]

Menacing? Can I ask what it said?

[unsaid]

Oh... my. That would be quite the odd item to place in your hands.

[sweet rupert,]

Hmm... Well, the flowers themselves were an assortment that are not typically utilized. Some of their meanings are 'menacing', or 'I am a danger', or 'falsehood'.

But there were some still that mean to say 'I am still waiting' and 'separation'.

[agleam]

Yeah... At least it means one less person has it.

[anyways! yikes!]

Like... The person sending you the flowers is a danger, or they think you're a danger for some reason?

[unsaid]

[he nods]

At the very least, it is good to know what it does.

[but he tilts his head at that]

... I believe that the those sending flowers might be in the midst of some danger. For another meaning of the flower that could say 'Separation' is 'Thoughts of Those Dearly Departed'.

Knowing that Flayn is familiar with the language of flowers, and many on the other side are aware that I will similarly use them to communicate - I wonder if this is the type of message they are able to send.

[agleam]

[...ah. he looks more alarmed, at that.]

Wait, so - you think they might all be in danger? Maybe the still waiting thing means that they think there's a way to bring them all back...?

[unsaid]

Perhaps so... It may also tie in to the note that was left behind regarding that we ought not continue stealing from them. Their belongings might be tied to what they are equipped with on the other side.

[he will give rupert a gentle squeeze because it is touch week]

It is alright. We will support them as best we can. At the very least, I believe they mean to communicate their existence to us.

[agleam]

[he nods, taking a breath.]

Good news, then. I mean, I know we all assumed, but... It's good to know for sure that they're out there. Have you talked to anyone else who got a similar message?

[unsaid]

Mm, indeed. But we shall have to be careful to heed their wishes.

At the moment, that is what I am still searching for... Yourself, Cloud Strife, and Bradley Bain have not received any from what I have understood... but I shall keep inquiring.

Do let me know if you hear of any others - if the language is to remain in flowers, I am happy to translate.

[agleam]

Of course.

[...]

Hey, can I give you something?

[unsaid]

[ . . . ? ]

Yes?

[agleam]

Cool! It's in my room, you want to head there?

[reaching for his hand to tug him along!! affection week...]

[unsaid]

Very well, very well.

[he will just take the hand and follow after. are you killing me off schedule, eli? thank you]

[agleam]

[yeah surprise stabs him immediately

but no, in they go to his room! and he's grabbing a can of soda, tossing it to mikazuki.]

It'll protect you from attacks for half an hour, basically, if anything happens.

[unsaid]

[he

will take it.

but also.]

... why is that you have given this to me?

[agleam]

[waves a hand]

Well... It makes sense if the person in charge of all this controls things to a pretty big extent, right? So - I guess I'd just worry that if you're getting messages from people who are gone, it might put you at more risk if he doesn't think it's entertaining that we have some kind of proof they're somewhere.

[unsaid]

Then I shall accept the risk and meet it head on.

[he will hold the soda back out to rupert, honestly]

In combat, I feel more equipped than the majority of you to be able to handle myself. I would rather see to it that you will be safe.

[agleam]

[he hesitates instead of taking it back.]

...Are you sure? It would make me feel a lot better if you kept it, honestly.

[unsaid]

... where is it that you received it?

[agleam]

The gift shop, a couple weeks ago.

[unsaid]

[ . . . ]

I will hold onto it for a time, but I would like to teach you additional self-defense in exchange.

[agleam]

[he laughs]

I'm not going to be good at that, but - sure, if you want.

[unsaid]

... my dear Rupert, if you are not familiar with self-defense, why are you giving me an item that will ensure your self-defense?

[agleam]

I feel like I kind of already explained that...

[unsaid]

No matter what danger I may or may not be in, that does not mean that you ought let your guard down.
