Hm... well, I guess I can ask. If she does want to try planting them, I'm curious about how it goes! Lucas and I just wanted them to spruce up the place a little to pass the time while we figure out what to do, and make it look... less creepy...

[recession]

That's a nice thought.

Flowers in vases do serve as a pretty quick and easy way to spruce up a room.

[segnale]

Yeah! ... Though we don't have any vases, but it's fine. We can get creative.

[recession]

Strings.

A little garland hung here and there.

[ That wouldn't be so bad. ]

[segnale]

Ooh, yeah, that'd be good. You're a genius, Daan!

[recession]

...

Just saying whatever comes to mind. Our would-be benefactors gave me the idea after all.

[ Producing his stupid flower on a string. She can have this one if she wants. ]

[segnale]

Haha, right...

[DAAN YOUR SAD FLOWER ON A STRING]

String in general might be useful around here, so maybe that was a blessing in disguise!

[recession]

Sure. Put a positive twist on it.

[ YOUR sad flower on a string now. ]

Hope you can get decent use out of it. Doesn't look like it's quick to wilt.

[segnale]

That's good! It'd be pretty sad if we went through all this effort of decorating and then they just wilted and made everything look worse in a day, huh.

[recession]

...

Some things are worth going through the effort even for the temporary joy...

It'd be a nice break from all this dreariness.

[segnale]

Right? I mean, obviously we can't get too distracted from what's important, but... you have to do the little things to cheer yourself up to keep going.

[recession]

Mhm.

So let's keep that in mind and trek forward then, shall we?

One flower garland at a time.

[segnale]

Yeah! I'm glad you get it, Daan. I'm sorry that when we first met I secretly thought you looked kind of grumpy.

[recession]

...

I think that's one of the nicer things you could've called me, the way I looked on arrival...

[ She definitely could have called him a number of way worse things. ]

[segnale]

... W-Well, probably. But I was kind of distracted!

[recession]

Well... no offense taken.

So no need to apologise.

[segnale]

Heh, thanks. You're a nice guy, you know that?

[recession]

Uh-huh.

Don't see much point in being an asshole for no reason, that's all.

[segnale]

... And very humble too, I see...

[recession]

Is that humble?

[segnale]

You're downplaying your good qualities, so I think it counts!

[recession]

Aren't you a flatterer.

Keep up the optimism. It's good.

...

Though of course, no need to force yourself either.

[segnale]

[...]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. But I'm pretty good at staying positive, if I do say so myself.

[recession]

Great.

Guess you'd know your limits best.

[segnale]

Yep! [does not mention she sometimes ignores those limits] So you don't have to worry about me.
