"Arthur you've been starring at these flowers for twelve minutes." I say.

"Shhh... don't rush me, Merlin." Arthur says.

"I'm sure she'll love whatever you get her." I say.

"You don't know Red Hood. She needs perfect." He looks into my eyes.

I let out a breath.

"Any luck on your ends?" I ask the others.

"This store is pretty bland." Jack says.

"Eh. Going okay." Hans shrugs.

I hear a loud boom. I turn.

"Pino, what are you guys doing?" I ask.

"Testing our new plant cutter. Apparently, we're still working on the kinks." Pino says.

"Right..." I say.

"Merlin, speaking of which, what'd you pick?" Arthur asks. 

I hold up white flowers mixed with pink and blue. Jack examines them.

"Um... what's wrong with them?" I ask.

"Merlin, no offense but this looks bland." Jack says.

He hands me red ones.

"Uh... I'm not sure those will work." I say.

"Why not?" Jack asks.

"They're red. Like apples." I say.

"Ah. Right." He says. 

"I think those are fine Merlin." Arthur says.

"Thanks. And no thanks to you Jack." I say.

"You have to admit I'm usually right about these things." Jack points out.

"No, I don't." I gently shove him.
