The wildflowers were super pretty. [ Even if they might seem like poor imitations, she genuinely thought they were lovely and had an enjoyable time flower picking... that's all that matters! She hopes she can do that again someday. ] If you don't know their names, it's okay.
[ A brief pause, then she realizes she should probably ask questions too. Asides from talking about "nice things", she remembers Skulduggery telling her she could ask questions too. At first, she thought she was going to bolt off after dropping off the gift. But now... she doesn't look ready to leave yet. ]
Um... do you have a favorite flower, Mister Captain?
Orchids! I've seen pictures of those! I like them too. [ It seems she's fond of most flowers though. But orchids sound good to keep in mind for future gift ideas. She wonders if Skulduggery knows. ] I also really like white roses, sunflowers... and forget-me-nots.
[ This doesn't feel so bad, asking questions like this. At least for her, anyway. Still, she shuffles her feet a bit nervously. ]
What about... a favorite color? Do you have a favorite color?
Me too! I like black! [ Especially since it gives her a fond reminder of her dark monster bestie from The Cage. ] My favorites are also... um, gold! White... [ A pause. ] Oh!
[ She pulls up her sleeve to show off her friendship bracelet from Darcy, woven in those three exact colors. It's hardly ever removed, along with the capacity core from Jade. ]
Darce made this for me, back at the camp. I heard you got one too?
[ Strange, this one has similar colors to the bracelet with the bad word that she's already forgotten by now. ...She's not going to lean in closer to further confirm this though. ]

[... wait.]
... It's. Inside. Right now.
[it's on his wrist.]

[ And she's almost accepting of that answer...
Wait. Looking down, she finally notices the one on his wrist. That sure looks suspiciously like the one that she watched Darcy make at the camp. ]
Didn't Darce make that one?

Huh? Oh, I know that. I just decided that's your nickname.
