[there's the smallest hint of a memory as they glance up at the flowers. a tall man with brown hair and a beard looks down at you, amused, as you explain to a horrified court assistant the various ways you could kill the duchess --
[Somehow, a little blip of memory is almost more disorienting than the big chunks of alternate lives he's been dealing with lately - maybe because it's new. He blinks a couple of times, quiet for a second, but chooses to leave it unaddressed.]
--I think you might like it! It's a really unique-looking flower. Most volcanic flowers are.
Huh, could've fooled me. [YOUR ROSES, PRIDE!! But he holds his hand up, emulating the size of a bloom and gesturing around as he discusses various parts of it.]
The most popular ones are purple - a light shade on the inside, and a darker one on the outside. But there are some really nice ones where the petals are white or red instead. With the way they grow, they kind of make a bowl shape and the corona just spills out of it.
[i can't believe mahito's tiered lists of favorite npcs is just doing the rapid charleston slide shuffle this week
Anyway his expression brightens WAY THE FUCK UP, like a kid at Christmas... He reaches out to take the flower and holds it very carefully in his cupped palms.]
Woah—! That's amazing! If you hadn't seen one before, I was gonna show you in the simulation room, but this is way better!
[Hilariously Mahito the fucking curse can read a vibe better than half the people here apparently, because he'll stand up when they glance away, still carefully keeping the flower tucked in his hands.]
Well - I'll get outta your hair now. You don't mind if I stop by to talk later, yeah?

Mahito seems unbothered as ever though, raising his hands.]
Alright, alright. Let's talk about something else, then! If you could put any plant in here that isn't already here, what would you choose?
no subject
... I don't know. [they say after a moment. they look at the other flowers.] I don't know many others.
Monkshood, maybe. Oleander. Hemlock. [those are all poisonous, pride.]
no subject
Mahito also sees Pride.]
Any that aren't poisonous? [But he says it in a light and lilting way that implies he's not at all bothered. Poisonous plants are great, honestly.]
Ah - have you ever seen passionflowers before?
no subject
pride shakes their head.]
Maybe. Why?

Not really a flower enthusiast. [they mostly just like roses, but.] What color is it. The flower.

It was a good enough description. [shrug.]
no subject
Can you make any flower if you have a good enough description? Or any plant?

Hah, yeah, I wasn't gonna ask for anything else. Gifts like this are better!
[SURPRISE ONES!! One of a kind ones!]
no subject
Hm. [they glance back at the flowers. well, okay then.]

[they say dryly. but - that seems like a yes? neat.]
no subject
Hah, true, I guess! See you later, then.
[AND AWAY HE'LL MOSEY, flower in tow.]
