anyway, this time it's a blue and pink metal bird that's dutifully following ishmael around, and that lets out a small synthesized trill of satisfication once its package is safely picked up. though said package is actually a small bouquet of flowers wrapped in brown paper—specifically a handful of pink camellias, chosen for their significance. (you don't live in fantasy france your whole life and not pick up a few things about floriography.)
there's also a message, unsigned, though it doesn't take a genius to figure out who it's from. ]
Sorry. Looks like I'm the one making you wait this time.
[ wow, why is his bird so nice compared to hers... anyway.
she doesn't know what the flowers meant. flowers, at least the real ones, are close to being extinct in the city amidst all the industrialization. she's instantly reminded of the cherry blossoms from a couple months ago, the one that was tucked into her hair that day, and then she gets to work.
later, wriothesley will get a text from ishmael - a photo of the flowers placed in a simple glass vase that she went out to buy for cheap, with the window as the backdrop. ]
