"For how long are you going to keep tailing me? ... If you have something to say just say it ... although I think I already know what you want to ask."
He stayed silent for a while, and before long he got down next to her, his usual poker face expression perfectly plastered in its place. "oh oh ... If you know, than do you mind telling me why? Why do you keep obeying your village? It's easy to tell that you want to die from your expression ... just like the meaning of that flower."
"I see, nothing goes past the lord of assassin, Kirigakure Saizo. However that deduction is true and false at the same time ..."facing him for the first time for this night she started to answer, "In a way I do want to die, but I can't. The chains the village casted on me are hard to break for now. I can't die before having the reason that bought me to this state back from their hands." Stopping for a while, she turns her gaze from Saizo to the moon taking in its sight before finishing her 'explanation' ...
"This black rose ... does have an other meaning which is the one that applies to me. And I think you know it without me saying it." Leaving those words behind, she turns and goes toward her room for some rest.
Watching her until she disappears in her room, saizo also goes back to his place on the roof. While observing the moon, he murmurs to himself the answer to her last words... "I do know, it's 'despair'... and the thorns mean 'pain' ... but you know little lady, I think the 'Saguaro Blossom' goes better with you." (which means 'Enduring all things, no matter how painful or difficult').
Smiling to himself, for just a second, he closes his eyes and continues the rest in his thought before taking a nap... "But, if I were to offer you one flower it would definitely be that one..."
Meanwhile, she also thought to herself that if she were to give him a flower it would be 'The deep pink Rose' to say 'Thank you for being in my life' ... falling asleep feeling better and lighter for the first time since a long while ago.
