[They seem kind of, uh. Blown away. Didn't expect this from him, huh? Probably didn't expect anything from him at all. Probably heard him mention he had a gift for them back in the hall a few days ago and dismissed it out of hand, or expected him to just forget about it.]

[Is this--is this a good thing? Do they like it? He can't really tell. Maybe they don't even like chamomile tea. There's other plants you can use to make tea. Lavender? Uh...vervain? Or was it something else that began with V? There were a whole lot of medicinal plants in the book he read, all of them with weird sounding names.]

[They say thank you, though. They say thank you, and he thinks it might be the second time they've ever said it to him, ever had reason to say it to him. They never struck him as the kind of kid who says "please" or "thank you" unless they're either being insincerely polite in that frightened way they have sometimes, or unless they really, actually mean it. Especially with him.]

[They don't even...make a joke. They don't even have anything sarcastic to say.]

[So maybe he did okay.]


you're. heh. you're welcome.

[Right, Wonderland. It gives out little things this time of year. He's not going to mention what he got. This is, uh, this is a nice moment right here, and telling them about the picture he got might just upset them.]

yeah. you could, uh. have one of those things you put on the windowsill, or something. when it gets warmer, anyway.

[They could pick a room in the mansion and turn it into a garden. Frisk could plant their forget-me-nots there as well, assuming they kept them. Boy is that some sappy, wishful thinking. Some flowers aren't going to just fix everything. It's gonna take a lot more than flowers.]

[But maybe they actually helped a little.]
