    Summary

    Emmrich found himself hesitating. What could he say to her?

    It was, perhaps, too forward of him to even do this, to pen his admiration in written word then retch it at her feet — too much, too sudden, indelicate and indecent. He had not been meant to see the drawing, and an ugly feeling akin to guilt gnawed in his gut. He had placed it back, tucked it right under the same book at the same angle, and then ran to his room as if he were afraid of being caught. And now, his quill lingered too long on the paper and the ink fell in droplets, obscuring her name.

    The ink ran, then dried, unfurling like petals.

    Petals. An epiphany.

    Or, Emmrich leaves flowers for Rook.
