Cut flowers are dead, aren't they? They won't "live" for much longer.

[lustro]

[ He shakes his head a lot. ]

N-no, not exactly. Flowers in general don’t last that long. But… the feelings they inspire… remain with us. I think.

[meanspirited]

[You're gonna give yourself whiplash like that...]

...

[But something about that... It feels like something Nahida might say, if she was feeling sentimental. Wisdom and sentiment don't often go hand in hand, but with her attempts to get him "socialized" she certainly tried.]

So what feelings do you want me to have when I think about you?

[lustro]

Uh.......... What?

[ He's... a little lost. Feels like they're talking about something else now. But well, if Blue doesn't mind talking, this is okay, he thinks. ]

Do you feel any particular way about me??

[meanspirited]

You're the one who cared enough about these flowers to bring them over, so isn't there something you want to inspire out of it? Even if it's just an attempt at bribery.

[lustro]

No, I just like flowers and wanted to share. These reminded me of you, so...

[ He trails off. That's really all there is to it. Does there need to be more? ]

[meanspirited]

[...

Pfff.]

You're a simple man, aren't you?

[Hehehe.]

[lustro]

W-well, everything else is already complicated enough? And sometimes, the things we feel inside are… so… unnecessarily… stupidly complicated.

[ He sighs and shrugs. ]

Simple things are nice.

[meanspirited]

[For such a simple statement, it seems to make him pause for quite some time.]

Is that so...

[Hm.]

Well, I'll keep them for now.

[lustro]

Great! Remember to keep them
moist - not too much water.
