A rose by any other name....

[random_xtras]

There's a red, grey, and white Transformer in the nexus, frowning quizzically at one hand, which is holding a flower pot containing one of those forced mum plants that they sell in the autumn. He contemplates the orange flowers for a few moments, then lowers his hand and looks up.

"What is this?"

Comments

[alternate_faye]

"They're flowers... where'd you find them?" She attempts to get a good look at the flowers from her vantage point.

[random_xtras]

"Someone gave them to me." Another human. He studies her curiously.

[alternate_faye]

Well, a human with advanced prosthetics. She doesn't mind being looked at, as long as he doesn't draw attention to her non-organic parts. "Well, maybe they're a token of friendship. At least, that's my guess."

[random_xtras]

"What is 'friendship'?" He transfers his attention back to the flowers and frowns at them.

[alternate_faye]

"It's, well... a supportive, affectionate way of thinking between beings. Well... something like that."

[random_xtras]

Puzzled optics swing back to her. "'Supportive'? 'Affectionate'?"

[alternate_faye]

"Well... that's when someone wants someone else to be okay, and be close to them."

[random_xtras]

"...I've never seen the person who gave me this before."

[alternate_faye]

She gives him a quizzical look. "Oh... they must have just did something nice, and you seem like a nice enough mech, so..."

[random_xtras]

He looks down at himself with a puzzled frown.

[alternate_faye]

"...Okay, I don't know why they gave the flowers to you either."

[random_xtras]

"Well...." He turns his attention to the area around them and prepares to walk away. "Thank you for answering my question, though."

[alternate_faye]

"You're welcome..."

[random_xtras]

And there he goes.
