(despite  his  unfamiliarity  with  such  proximity,  he’s  easily  swayed  beside  her,  gaze  flickering  between  her  rummaging  &  her  face,  the  corners  of  his  mouth  faintly  tugging  up  at  her  delight)         for  me ?         (he  echoes,  taking  the  rose.  his  head  bows,  gaze  on  the  ground)       thank  you.  it’s  very  nice

⠀ ⠀ you’re  welcome!  (she loops an arm through his, pressing close to him.)  flowers are the pretty things in the gardens,  smell good, sometimes are mean in wonderland.  wait,  i’ll  show  you  —  (she rummages around in her bag before pulling out a red rose.)  for  you! 

[oh]      thank  you .. ?         [..]     what  are  ‘ flowers ’  again ?

what ?      (genuine  confusion  can  be  discerned  from  his  voice,  slivers  of  the  very  thing  evident  in  his  face)          aelwynn,  of  course  not.  i—      (he  clears  his  throat,  palms  dusting  off  on  his  pants)      i  was  thinking  of  my  sisters.  the  sea.   it’s    [..]   difficult  being  so  far

⠀ ⠀ (she tilts her head,  her mismatch eyes scanning his face as if looking for a problem.  not that there was one,  of course,  he was like a statue in the white queen’s garden.)  what’s  on  your  mind,  cas?  is  it  —  is  it  me?  do  you  think  i’m  too  much? 

no,  no.  i’m  alright,      (hues  of  sea—floor  depth  rake  over  her  appearance,  unable  to  avert  for  long.  he  adds)          don’t  worry.

atti—(?)     [oh]   atticus.  right,     (he  nods  once;  then  gives  his  head  a  shake)          you  only  say  that  because  you  haven’t  seen  it.   &  i  wouldn’t  hold  my  breath  on  seeing  it  either           (knuckles  brush  against  the  hued  flush  of  warmth  flourishing  her  skin,  hand  promptly  dropped  back  at  his  side;  choosing  to  not  mention  it  in  hopes  avoiding  further  awkwardness)         through  it ?  i’m  not  sure  i  could  imagine  myself  being  used  to  such  a  thing

⠀ ⠀ i  don’t  think  so.  i  think  they  would  suit  you  a  lot.  atti  thinks  so  too.  (she almost leans into his touch,  pale cheeks turning rosy at the contact.)  o  —  oh  thank  you.  you  see  through  it  silly,  and  you  get  use  to  it. 

(taking  a  moment  to  consider,  castor  nods)       i  suppose  i’d  say  those  are  rare,  yes.  doesn’t  suit  me  anyway,  from  what  i’ve  heard  at  least.        (he  plucks  a  leaf  from  her  hair,  proceeding  to  tuck  a  strand  out  of  her  face  &  behind  her  ear)       how  do  you  even  SEE  with  all  that  hair ?  it’s  everywhere
