[ one of the last days before the mission, there's a note taped to iris' door with -- well -- an iris attached to it. the note reads: ]
did you know, in the language of flowers, your name means 'hope'? you probably did since it's your name. someone once told me that there's always hope if you keep fighting. so, uh, keep fighting and cheering.
- cal
p.s. that probably needs water, right? i couldn't find a vase and i'm not so good with keeping plants alive outside of a terrarium. but it probably needs water and a vase.
[ no one's ever given him a flower before. plants, in general, weren't all that common in the tower, and all his time spent outside of it had been filled with such anxiety he hardly hard time to (quite literally) stop and smell the roses. a vase and water is quickly procured (the former one of his own creations, black glass with his signature swirl of blue-green smoke etches deep into its surface). he places it on the sidetable he'd created for his bed, looking it over fondly as he reaches out to the other man to text him back. ]
1) it definitely needed water, remember that next time you want to try keeping plants alive
2) thanks cal
3) do you know? i never actually looked up what irises meant. it's dumb but i guess a part of me was afraid to find out in case it was something weird [ or terrible... ] hope's nice, though. i like hope.
[ they didn't have a lot of plants in the tower okay??? ]
good save [ it was a horrible save, actually, but iris is finding he's very forgiving when it comes to cal. ] i should probably ask someone who knows about plants how to help this

hope's really nice. hope's important. what were you worried it would mean? something like clumsy?
