What is? What's wrong?

[faeshim]

Someone ordered red tulips...

[he thinks lennon might understand from that. he sniffles a little bit.]

I keep trying, but the color just...it isn't right

[privatechat]

Do you want me to help?

[faeshim]

[another sniffle. but the tears are drying up before they even really formed.]

Yes.

Could you make them red?

[privatechat]

Mm. I think so.

Can you give me some white ones and some pink ones.

[faeshim]

Yes! I will sprout you six of each!

[privatechat]

Dae, you should make sure that people know that if they order red they'll be painted unless you can get them from Baein.

[faeshim]

...Okay. But this is a special favor! Henry is giving them to Gaura and he must have red!

[privatechat]

I'll do my best, okay...?

[faeshim]

You will do amazing work.

I will keep trying too.

[privatechat]

Daeshim are you sure you want to? You don't have to hurt yourself.

[faeshim]

...Henry said that in the language of flowers, red tulips mean love and passion.

I want to give them to you too.

[privatechat]

You don't have to give me red tulips for me to know how you feel. I know how that color affects you, Dae.

[faeshim]

I want it for other reasons too. It...red is not blood. Blood is blood.

[ Lennon is quiet for a moment and he shouldn't discourage this but he's worried. He chews on his lip. ]

Okay.

I just... get scared.

[faeshim]

Scared? But...you don't mind red.

[privatechat]

I get scared for you. I don't know how to help.

[faeshim]

Mm.

Well! I do have one idea. But it might sound a little strange...

[privatechat]

What?

[faeshim]

Maybe if you put on some red lipstick and kissed me all over my body.

[it would help! really!]

I might start associating it with things that feel nice.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon tilts his head and there is some logic to it, exposure therapy or whatever. He chews on his lip and wellt he vague worry that it might have the opposite effect and the other would freak out at his kisses even without lipstick....... okay he's just being paranoid, right? ]

I can do that.

[faeshim]

[he could never feel that way about lennon's kisses. there's nothing better.]

Okay!

[privatechat]

Whenever you're ready we can try.

[faeshim]

I'm ready now! Oh, but we need the lipstick.

[privatechat]

I have some...
