013- [action/phone] Hitler is an awkward turtle.....

[springtime4me]

[Hitler can be seen around town today, in and out of stores. Mostly the ones that sell things like jewelry, perfume, and other girl's accessories. He's taking Kay's advice that a bought present is better than a homemade one. But, seriously, he has no idea what kind of presents girls like.]

Maybe flowers would be better....

[Girls like those, right?]

[Sophie happens to be just outside the flower shop, tending to some potted flowers if he happens to pass by. Tiffany's not!mother needs to meet Hitler, of course.]

[springtime4me]

Oh, hello. Umm, i was wondering what kind of flowers would you recommend for a really fancy date?

[eldest_hatter]

A date? Well, I suppose that depends. Have you been courting the person you are going out with very long?

[springtime4me]

No, it hasn't been very long. That's why I'm trying very hard to impress her.

But to be honest, I don't have much experience with girls.

[eldest_hatter]

[Sophie nods.] I see. Perhaps some lilacs would be good in that case.

How might you describe the girl? What qualities do you admire in her?

[springtime4me]

Well....

I guess what I like best about her is that she's honest. I don't mean just the way she talks, she has a way of being very practical and direct. It kind of forces you to be honest with yourself.

And she doesn't let her opinions get swayed by things like rumors or popular opinion.....

[He trails off. Maybe he should have just said 'she's really pretty' or something like that. Now he just sounds like an idiot.]

I'm sorry, that probably didn't make a whole lot of sense...

[eldest_hatter]

On the contrary. It made perfect sense.

[She smiled and thought it quite sensible of him to be more concerned about a girl's personality than her looks.]

In that case I think some lilacs and gladiolus would be lovely. The lilacs mean first love and gladiolus means strength of character. What do you think?
