[He nods. It sure is like someone had helpfully hidden the majority of their figurative puzzle pieces under the couch before they'd even gotten to start their puzzle.]

As far as we know, it's only the two of us. It's fortunate to know people from before our kidnapping, but even so, I've yet to encounter anyone who hasn't been willing to work with us. [He gives her a smile, almost rueful as he finishes drying his feet and heads over closer to her. Not in an attempt to breach her personal space or anything, just to converse more comfortably without having to call across the room. Though, come to think of it, had that even been an issue...? He'd been able to hear her perfectly fine, after all.

Another oddity of this place to file away as he folds his towel in his arms.]

By the way, considering that you know about flowers, do you know much about flower language? I found the strangest flowers in my room, [thanks, Ren,] and was wondering if there were any meaning to them. A tall pink flower with a fern-like bottom?

[He's trying to describe Astilbe, but simply doesn't know enough to say so.]

[anciently]

That's a good point. Most people here are really friendly, which is nice. [ Kaiba had been one of the few who was...less so, but that hardly seems to concern her. ] It makes a lot of sense, since we're all in the same boat.

[ The question has her tilt her head curiously at the description, and she taps her chin in thought with a considering "hmmm." After a moment, she offers: ] Sounds kinda like Astilbe, maybe? Almost kinda spiky-looking in a bunch?

[ Funny that he found them in his room, though. Why that flower? ]

Pretty sure they can be seen as a symbol of patience, if I remember that right.

[Honestly, Akechi almost respects Kaiba for being so open about his contemptuousness for others. He wishes he could do the same, sometimes, but alas, he wants to be liked too much. It doesn't benefit him at all to be hated, not when there are so many unknowns here still.]

Yes, that sounds like them exactly.

[And he frowns. What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Ren??]

How strange... thank you. Hearing first-hand from an expert is even better than an internet search, wouldn't you agree?

[anciently]

I guess so. Not sure how I feel about being compared to an internet search, though, considering I'm not sure what that is!

[ Is it like the Worldwide Network? She's not a big tech geek, or anything, so she doesn't vocalize a guess. ]
