I knew you'd come around.

[Because Lorenz by no means categorized Hubert under 'most people', but knew that Hubert would likely accept a token if he deemed it useful. The gesture more was for Lorenz's own sake-- so he didn't feel a tinge of guilt over an observed breach in politeness by the act of overlooking someone's birthday.]

But, per your request, you have my word that you will not be given flowers from me on future birthdays. I meant no disrespect for this, truly.

[It a step beyond form and order. Politeness would have dictated a minimum of an impersonal token, such as a notebook to write in; Lorenz had wanted to show that he was starting to understand.

And, if the flowers turned out useful? Then the gesture was worth the effort.]
bergamotrose: (whatever)

Yes, unless you've something else in mind.

[A raised eyebrow. Whatever strange thing they had going, Lorenz didn't wish to assume anything.]
