Inside the room of Team JRRC a lone vase stood in front of one of the bunk beds, more specifically, the one Colby and Jennu slept in. Wrapped around the neck of it was a red ribbon and a small piece of paper. Inside of it were a small mixture of flowers; orange roses, sycamore, three geranium, a single sunflower in the middle, and surrounding all those flowers were violets. On the paper was a message written in fine handwriting, 'Cupcake. Got the vase for them and some extras for you.'
Colby came to an abrupt halt as he entered the JRRC room, empty save for The Colonel. The black and white cat arched her back happily against his leg as he knelt down in front of the vase, staring curiously. He hesitantly reached out and read the note.
His face flushed red, but it faded quickly since there was no one but The Colonel to make him feel self-conscious about receiving flowers. He exhaled shakily, managing a happy smile as he looked at the flowers. He felt relieved that his Faunus teammate hadn't gotten angry at him for giving her the Violets.Â
He gently brushed his hand against one of the geraniums, because it was those whose meaning touched him the most.
