[The Dreamberry is seated next to Ada, who can be seen picking and studying flowers in the field. She looks rather happy about it, humming softly to herself.

While she has a number of different flowers gathered in a small bouquet at her side, she still seems determined.]

I wonder what sort of flower Miss Vanessa would like.

[She hums thoughtfully to herself.]

I have to do something to thank her for agreeing to teach me.

[Her eyes finally rest on a beautiful red flower. The vibrant color of the flower makes her think of Vanessa in a way. It's an amaryllis, she remembers, after a long moment of thought.]

Maybe this one. I wonder if she'll like it. I hope so.

[Ada happily plucks the flowers, careful to preserve the stems the same way she watched Vanessa.]

Comments

Those are really nice hobbies.

[Ada thought it was cute. Those were more feminine hobbies then some of her own but wasn't that a good thing?]

Still... I don't know if I could have done that myself. Most of the time I'm sure I probably don't live up to my family's name in most ways. But I try to at least be strong of heart so that someday I can.

[knightofchanges]

I can tell. [chuckles.]

Do you?

Perhaps it's for the best.

[ A wistful sigh ]

Young love is always so complicated.

[unsureazure.livejournal.com]

R-Really? Um... Thank you.

[That was the first time that she's ever been complimented on her secret hobbies. It kind of felt nice. Noel frowns at the next thing Ada says, though.]

I'm sure you can, Miss Ada. I... I'd like to think that there's something that only some people can do. So... I think you can defend your family's honor in a way that only you can do. It's only a matter of discovering it.

[Oh, she's so sweet...///]

If you're sure...yes, I think I'd like that a lot.

So it's a type of art that people would place on the walls?

[disinherits]

[She frowns, considering the question. That really isn't the point of why nobility learned such things, but flower arranging was also an important skill to have, and that was more about aesthetics than meaning for the most part. She sighs and waves her hand dismissively.]

Dahlias. They stand for elegance and dignity. I'm also fond of marigolds.

[But she refrains from explaining that marigolds represent grief and pain.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[Well with a sigh like that...]

Have you ever been in love before?

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[Ada considers this, and nods.]

Thank you... I think that's a good way to look at it. Everyone can do it, it's just a matter of how they can. Still... I want to try and move forward. That's why I'm going to learn how to fight.

[That's right... Elliot's going to teach her.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Please. I want to. [Thinking for a moment...]

Do you have a favorite flower?

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[Elegance and dignity... wonderful traits. It was fitting, Ada thought. It seemed like Vanessa to like something like that. But then...

Marigolds. That was what Elliot had told her.]

Oh! Elliot mentioned that you liked marigolds.

[She was proud to know this now, and didn't realize that it might not be the wisest to give Elliot up like that.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Mmn! [She nods, happy that he seems to understand.] They can be very pretty.

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[That was a good question.] Ah... well, yes. Although I think I still have a ways to go.

Or perhaps my expectations are simply high.

[disinherits]

[Nope, not wise at all. There's a moment of shock on her face before it melts into nothing but anger.]

He mentioned what?!

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[...Oh. Whoops. Too late to take that back, huh...]

Ah... um... well... he was just... trying to help....

[disinherits]

Trying to help?! Why did it even come up?!

[Preparing to walk to brother's room and punch him in the face in 3...2...]

[knightofchanges]

In what way?

[wantrobotgarden.livejournal.com]

Maybe I could do something like that for the young master.



Do you think I should do that?

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

B-because he must have known why... He probably just didn't want me to mess up and give you something you didn't like...!

[He was probably looking out more for his sister than her, right?]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Oh! You're a servant?

[Unlike some others, that fact didn't really change the way she looked at him.]

I think it's a great idea. You should try it. I'm sure it would be appreciated.

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Society has lesser expectations for women of noble standing. But I... I have never fit into that prescribed role. I want to learn how to fight and defend what is really important to me.

So perhaps my expectations are high, but I simply have to try.

[She thinks for a moment, looking up.]

I like roses a lot. Oh, and daisies! But I think every flower is pretty in their own way.

[knightofchanges]

That's actually rather impressive. I wish you the best of luck.

[disinherits]

Ugh!

[It's more a noise of frustration than disgust.]

Miss Ada Vessalius, I don't appreciate either of you speaking about me without my knowledge! Honestly, the fact that this conversation even took place is...!

[She cuts herself off with another loud, annoyed huff.]

[Nods and considers this.]

I think you're right. Bright and colorful flowers are nice to look at.
