Oh, you know. [listlessly, he waves a full fucking flower he coughed up, earlier, at Raihan] Trying to decide whether or not this would be a good place to start my flower shop.

[it's probably some kind of miracle he can still joke about this, but -- well, what else is there to do, really? he's too fatigued to be worried, right now. between the fever and the coughing, he really hasn't been sleeping well, if at all]

Maybe we could be partners.

[he noticed you coughing, Raihan]

[ woof. Raihan hasn't choked up any full flowers yet, but he does have a winding vine with a flower bud that's begun to spindle up his wrist. it was painful enough to cut out the first time, but it's returned with a vengeance and has grown twice as fast than its predecessor. it's only confirmed that whatever is wrong with him is getting worse, and he's clearly not the only one it's affecting. ]

With the way things are going, why pick one spot? We could go mobile.

[ he grins, but it has a wry tinge to it as he shoves his hands in his hoodie pockets. things don't look too good for them as it stands, but he refuses to keep a negative attitude about it. joking is probably the best way to keep up that hope. ]

As far as sicknesses go, I can appreciate the aesthetic. [ gross as it is, coughing up flowers feels oddly romantic. he looks at the flower he's held up, momentarily curious. ] Doesn't look like anything I've been hacking up... you think they're different for each person?

[that earns Raihan a bark of a laugh -- and another coughing fit from Damien, as it turns out his lungs don't seem to like that much. he reaches up to cover his mouth, then holds the for a second or two, once he tapers off, just in case. thankfully, he doesn't start hacking again. thankfully, he didn't cough up another flower, this time, though there was petals, blood]

[sighing, he drops his hand to the ground, to wipe the latter off in the snow, then returns his attentions back to the flower] All things considered, it's possible. [a beat] There's someone here who has a thing for what they all mean. Maybe they'd be able to tell us something. [if what they're hacking up matters as much as the why does, anyway]

[rotomphone]

[ hey, at least he got him to smile... even if it resulted in a coughing fit. he's not faring much better himself, but hey! little victories. ]

...I was sort of kidding, but now you have me curious. [ and that gets his eyebrow raising curiously. ] Oh yeah? Who?

[ he'd rather get in touch with them himself, should his flowers mean something he'd rather keep private. the void has proven time and time again that it has no regard for personal boundaries, so he'll just have to take steps to make his own. ]

[he shakes his head, faintly -- and immediately regrets it, for all that his head hurts, but] I don't know. I just know that someone was throwing out flower names and meanings as month names, back when everyone decided it was as good a time as any for a New Year's party.

[maybe Raihan knows who that was?]
