[Turlough looks...well, slightly fidgety.]

I know this might be a stupid question. But what all do you give someone on Valentine's Day-either on your world or on Asgard? Dates are out of the question because of her...job, but I'd like to give her something anyway. I've had girlfriends before, but that was ages ago and we didn't really do Valentine's Day like you lot do it. [because whooo aliens!] And when I was on Earth, most of the time was spent in an English public school-not of my own choosing, mind you. [by the little scrunched up expression on his face, it's pretty obvious what Turlough thinks of English public school (it sucks.)]

So while I'm no stranger to the subject of love, I...sort of am to gifts. [it took him a lot of strength to admit that and now he's frowning a bit.] Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps a bouquet with flowers of a specific meaning? Every plant has a meaning, after all, flowers are no exception.

Flowers have meanings?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Of course they do. The rose, for example, has a meaning for every color.

Really now...what about the pink ones? Does pink mean something specifically or does it depend on the flower?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

It depends on the flower. A pink rose does not have the same meaning as say, a pink lily or pink cherry blossoms. Although, they tend to relate to love, at least in some manner.

Well, what does a pink rose mean? I suppose that's the easiest to get, after all.

[madcuriosity]

Pink roses are a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an expression of admiration. It is a rose of pure intent, a thank you rose, as it were.

What about a flower that states 'I'd like to get to know you better.' Is there something like that?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Nothing quite so literal but there are some flowers of similar meaning.

The blue salvia means "I think of you." The purple heartsease means the same. The lavender rose means "enchantment" or "love at first sight," and the gardenia means "You're lovely." Only the sycamore means "curiosity" or "curious."

Oh, lavender roses would be wonderful. I'm sure I can find some in Asgard somewhere!

I don't believe that we've met, by the way. My name's Turlough.

[guess who doesn't recognize her now that she's big?]

Alice Liddell, a pleasure. [We've met, she thinks, but she smiles instead.]

Aren't you supposed to be younger?

[madcuriosity]

You don't pay attention to the bracelets, it would seem.

Pardon me for being a bit more distracted than usual lately.

With what, exactly?
