[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.]

Hmmmm.

Pride and determination.

I take it the person receiving these is quite the fireball?

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[Huh? This young man knew the language of flowers too? Maybe it really was that important.]

Ah... well... maybe a little.

[She smiled and laughed, but really? He hit the nail on the head perfectly, Ada was just polite about it.]

She can be rather fierce at times.

[And there was no need question that Vanessa had more than her share of pride.]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

Define fierce, if you would.

[charming smile your way ada c: ]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Well... [since you asked so nicely~]

It's not hard to irritate her. She's loud and opinionated, but she says what's on her mind.

I think she's a really strong person.

[And that's not all bad, though it might come out sounding that way.]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

A person who has been through a lot, then.

And hiding those wounds.

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[Oh!]

That's exactly what I thought as well...

But I don't think she'd ever tell anyone that.

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

No one wants anyone else to think that they are weak. That's common sense.

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's true, but...

[...not everyone is that closed up.]

Are those kind of people really strong?

[Wasn't that simply hiding?]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

[ A pause. Contemplation... ]

I suppose not. Or...they're just not bothered enough to reveal anything about themselves.

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[That's what she thought. Nods.]

I think it must have been something rather awful if a strong person like Miss Vanessa has to hide it to herself.

[Curious.]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

Are you close to her, then?

Family, perhaps?

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. You see... our families don't get along very well at all.

But I'd really like it if we could be friends.

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

The classic tale of feuding families...

Are you a Capulet or a Montague?

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[Oh... well! And now it seemed that he could read her a little better than she might have liked.]

Ah... yes, well... I suppose you could say I'm a Capulet.

[Her situation wasn't much unlike that tale, though to the world at large, that fact remained a secret for the most part.]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

I wonder...

Is your Romeo a Montague, as well? A sibling to Miss Vanessa? [ just a shot in the dark but hey. How can he say such things with such a sweet smile. ]

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[This guy... did he know something? It seemed far to crazy to all be simple coincidence.]

You... you could say that. [Nods a little shyly.]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

Aha~

[ Probably not. Just going off the whole story, mostly. But hey, you're biting, Ada 8D ]

Would getting close to the older sibling have anything to do with this Romeo? [ shot in the dark - ]

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Oh! No, not really...

[She shakes her head for emphasis.]

She doesn't know.

[No one else was supposed to know actually. But it was lonely, hiding it inside all the time. And he wasn't here so... it was okay, wasn't it?]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it's for the best.

[ A wistful sigh ]

Young love is always so complicated.

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[Well with a sigh like that...]

Have you ever been in love before?

[video] sorry for delay dear

[componere.livejournal.com]

[ .... WHY DO YOU ASK THIS - ]

My, that's an awfully bold question for a stranger.

[video] not a problem~

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ask something I shouldn't...

[Perhaps it had ended poorly... she inwardly scolded herself for being so insensitive.]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

Oh no, not at all.

I was merely surprised by your tenacity. [ a giggle ]

And the answer is yes.

[video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Whoops.] I hope I didn't bring up something painful...

[She has to remember that it's not always a happy subject for all people.]

I mean... was it complicated for you too?

[But she is curious, and he did mention it, albeit briefly.]

[video]

[componere.livejournal.com]

[ lolol oh goodness. He had no intention of discussing his own love-life with this girl. JUST GREAT.

A pause. How to be vague but still satisfy her. ]

Oh, it's complicated every single day. [ dully, because it's sometimes too complicated for everyone's own good ]
