Quite simply: a method of communication of intents during victorian times through the arrangment and selection of flowers. One could have as many as a dozen meanings or interpretations. Kiyotaka is quite familiar with the meanings of flowers.
He sent nothing to his brother. The flowers were for me.
Considering the sender...any number of meanings could apply. The most obvious seems to entail waiting, and having patience and faith.
The essential difficulty lies in the sender. Kiyotaka has an irritating penchant for statments much like prophecies from a higher being. Any number of meanings could follow at any time. Pursuing one meaning may very well be the move that plays into his hands in regard to another less common meaning and action.
...If you wanted a better answer, you might try asking Little Narumi. He likely understands his brother better than I, but there is one certainty to the message: He will likely do notihng, or very little to interfere or mend Little Narumi's current situation.
[And he finds that dissatisfying, though he won't say it.]
[Grace is pretty open-minded but even she has her limits. She can't honestly believe someone like that could really exist and replies teasingly.]
You know, the way you talk it sounds like you have a serious man-crush on this guy. Do you even know how you sound, going on about how 'amazingly powerful' you think he is?
[Eyes is in what passes for a foul mood with him, truth be told. He holds his temper, but there's still a measure of agitation in his voice, perhaps as he answers Grace slowly]
I'm well aware of how I sound. Had I any other way to express accurately, I would. it can't be helped.
Truly, in some regards, I'd go so far as to idolize Kiyotaka. He served as my instructor earlier in my life. It's natural to have respect for him considering at times he was as much of a father figure to me as could be found, and certainly an inspiration and guidepost in my field of study.
Yet, in some reagrds, I do truly detest him from the depths of my heart: there is no hatred so deep, or anguish so profound to a man as putting absolute trust in another, playing blindly with utter faith, and being betrayed nonetheless, save...perhaps the anguish of the man who put himself in such blind hope for the sake of another he truly hoped to have rescued.
[there's a long pause, and when Eyes speaks again, it's mro quietly, more slowly still]...At once I seek
( ... )
[A slightly frown] Indeed? The allegations of injustice, cruelty, and mention of viewing him much as a mentor when I don't actively detest him for his ability to condemn myself and my fellows to death for his convenience or whim, were trusted to drive the point on that particular subject. To say the least of his treatment of his own brother.
No need to be so cold. I'm just saying, for all your talk of how much you hate him, you still keep going on about how amazing he is. It doesn't fit in when the point your trying to make is how terrible a person he is.
A man may easily contain the capacity to be both powerful and terrible at once.
Those with great abilities aren't necessarily the most...compassionate of people simply because of their capacities for great good in utilizing those abilities.
Kiyotaka's abilities are...without compare. His capacities are not what I question. He has commited acts of good--as I, and my fellows would interpret it--in the past. There is no certainty he will do so again, or even that his intentions were for our individual good in the first place.
And perhaps, consequantially, I will lose the gamble which matters most to me.
But regardless, there is yet no man living with the raw ability he possesses. There is no man who might match him, except the uncertainty present in the very existance of Ayumu Narumi.
[He pauses]
As of yet...nothing at all is certain. Even fate. But..I don't exagerrate to say my life is in the hands of those two...possesors of ability. It's a precarious situation.

And one quite apt at the sending of flowers with ulterior motivations.
Are you familiar with the language of flowers?
