[his cheeks flush anew at the innocent gesture, which only does more to air out that fog. he may hate himself, but it's hard to stay focused on that when she's around. even now, after getting so hurt, she's still so kind and thoughtful...]

Ye-yes. You liked the other ones a lot, so...I just thought, maybe...it'd be better if there were more here.

[girlybruiser]

They're very pretty!

[ It's hard to think otherwise, being a lover of plants and flowers. They do provide a sense of coziness to the room. ]

I hope you'll let me take some home after.

[darkov]

[bashful:] I got them for you, so...so you can take them if you want. Like a present.

[girlybruiser]

Thank you... I'll be sure to put them in a vase as soon as I can.

I think for now I'll rest a little while longer. I hope that's okay.

[ She still feels heavily exhausted, her body not ready for any real movement. ]

[darkov]

Oh-- [he hesitates, then gets to his feet. that was a cue, right? a cue to buzz off?] I, I can go back downstairs, then. If that's fine.

[girlybruiser]

I'll be down in an hour, if that's fine?

[darkov]

Yes. Yes, whatever you want. It's fine. I'm--I'll... [he hesitates. he's never been good at closing conversations. so, red-faced, he backs away, then turns and heads out the door.] 'Bye. [and closes it behind him.]
