[ Left where Ashey might find it during her work day is a small bundle of wildflowers of riotous spring colours, butter yellow and deep inky purple, bundled and secured in string.
Attached is also a note: ]
Dear Ms Pelt -
I found these doing nothing of value in the forest, save that they reminded me of yourself! I hope they brighten your day as well.
[ The gesture is a one of such absurd sweetness that Ashey immediately scoops up the little bundle and goes to find a cup of water for them.
It takes an entire afternoon of agonizing in between tasks before she's able to come up with an appropriate answer: a small bottle of some orange drink, set carefully next to his cleaned shirt with a note. ]
Dear Mr Loxley,
Thank you for the flowers, they're very lovely. In return, please accept this small token, a citrus cordial.
Fondest regards, Ms. Ashey Pelt
(P.S. my apologies if you do not enjoy sweet things. I wasn't sure how to bring up the matter in a timely fashion.)
[ This time, the note she receives is delivered by a runner, in the early twilight. ]
Dear Ms Pelt -
Your Gift is far too kind but I accept it gladly. And Yes I enjoy sweet things very much. I imagine that is in part why I look forward to our interactions so!
On the subject of preference, are there flowers you prefer better? Perhaps if I happen to see One, I will retrieve it for you.
