[lenore sets the glasses down on a nearby bench, opens the bottle, and starts pouring.]
I don't often get to enjoy flowers, being one who shuns the sunlight, and all. The climate back home isn't very good for them, either. It's a novelty for me, and besides... with all this death happening around us, there's something comforting about being in a place with so much life. It's nice.
[she sits down on the bench, and holds out one of the now-filled glasses.]
Mm. [they'll come sit down next to her, and take the glass with clawed hands. they don't drink quite yet, just watch her - a glint of gold shines under the hood.] The person that this room in particular reminds me of would agree with you.

Didn't know people would like this place as much as they do. [they glance over at her.]

Would you like to sit?

Someone else who isn’t around anymore?

A rose. [softer.] My rose.

[she sips her wine.]
Is it... all right, to take flowers from here? I confess, I already picked a few. I hope it wasn't too inconsiderate.
no subject
I don't mind. [...] Don't use them in a memorial for any of the Envy aligned. Otherwise, I don't care.

[she smiles. that is so petty, pride.]
I tried making some bouquets, a little while ago. Steven liked them, I think. Law, well... it was a little harder to tell, with him.
no subject
Considering he asked you to cover for murder for him, I imagine he appreciated them enough.
no subject
I suppose he appreciated something about me. Even if it might have just been my connection to Steven.
This may be a strange question, but... did he talk to you about it, by any chance? Before the trial, that is.

He did...?
And did he ask anything of you?

[another sip of her wine.]
I’m sorry. That must have been a difficult trial to preside over.
no subject
It was as irritating as any other one.
no subject
If you’ll allow one more impertinent question about the matter...
Law didn’t ask you to do anything for him. I don’t doubt that. But... did you? Do something for him, that is.

[and then she looks off into the distance, a somewhat dreamy look on her face.]
I wonder who it could have been, then... The person who made that distraction during the trial.

I just wish I could have done more, myself. But... I suppose that sometimes, the people we care about are simply beyond saving.
no subject
I don't have much respect for people who roll over to die.
