"Hello, this is Fox. Please leave a message."
Mmm. Yeah, I did.

Who knew spending all morning sparring could take so much out of a guy?

Sometime on day 164--Fox's phone is going off with an incoming text alert.
Hiryuu: Hello, Fox. Sorry if now is a bad time.
Hiryuu: I've been trying to find or think of an adequate time or place to speak with you and no opportunity has presented itself well.
Hiryuu: So it seems I'll need to make one for myself. If it's all right to ask for a moment of your time...?

Hiryuu: So it seems I'll need to make one for myself. If it's all right to ask for a moment of your time...?
Fox: I can finish up what I am doing now within a few minutes, if you would like to come by.
Hiryuu: Yes, that would work if it's not an inconvenience to you.
Fox: Not at all.
Fox: Give me about five minutes and I will be ready.
Fox: Give me about five minutes and I will be ready.
Hiryuu: Please, take whatever time you need.
[it's not very long before he replies with:]
Fox: I am ready anytime.
Fox: I am ready anytime.
Hiryuu: Okay.
[ within the space of a few minutes, there's a knock at the door.
If/when he opens it, Hiryuu is on the other side--along with a very large bouquet of flowers: bluebells, purple bittersweets, white poppies, blue and purple hyacinths, and several large, full irises, all bound by a length of green ivy with white sprigs extending up into the bouquet.
if you're curious ]

[fox is immediately surprised and preoccupied by the flowers]
Did you bring these for me?
Did you bring these for me?
Yes!
[ although suddenly it's occurring to her that he might have the wrong impression
from her suddenly showing up at his door
with a bunch of flowers. ]
Don't--it's not--I'm aware that you're dating both Joker and Prim and I'm not trying to make any sort of advance--!

[ he probably didn't think that in the first place. but if he did--well, either way, she is actually... more... embarrassed now. maybe she should... not... give one of these to North as well.....
AUGH just. focus; one thing at a time. ]

... It's traditional, to give flowers... as a gift when someone has gone through something tragic, as acknowledgement of their suffering. I wanted to apologize properly... for what you went through because of me.
[there's a lot to unpack here]
I did not think you were propositioning me... surely you would have picked more appropriate flowers if that were the case. These are all far too melancholic to suit such a thing.
[he carefully takes the bouquet]
However, they are lovely. I shall place them in my atelier so I can admire them while I work.

[ She relaxes a little. ]
I wasn't sure--I'd hoped, but I couldn't be certain you'd know what they meant.

I have studied flower language, although I am more familiar with the Japanese take on it. Please, come in.
[he ushers her inside and goes to find a vase to deposit the flowers in, which he'll place on the low table that has been turned into a kotatsu for the changing seasons. toasty feets.]

I didn't realize there were different--interpretations?--To the language of flowers.
[ following him inside. ]
... I see you're all prepared for winter already.
[ following him inside. ]
... I see you're all prepared for winter already.
Most of my knowledge on the subject comes from art; artists have historically used flowers as symbols for a number of things.
Would you like some tea? We have fruit, as well. I find these are best enjoyed at a kotatsu during cold weather.

You've all pulled the kotatsu out again?
[ She remembers that from last winter.... A faint, nostalgic smile turns her lips up. ]
Are you sure it's not too much trouble for you?
[ She remembers that from last winter.... A faint, nostalgic smile turns her lips up. ]
Are you sure it's not too much trouble for you?
Not at all. You have come here to express your feelings to me, and it would be rude of me to simply dismiss you before you have had a chance to properly tell me what is on your mind.

[ She'll go ahead and take her seat then.
Please don't mind if she looks a little lost in thought. She has... many things on her mind. Or perhaps more accurately in her heart. ]
