Aradia, as you brush against the roses once more, the feeling is clearer, but it isn't so bad: Because isn't that something precious? Realizing that having a place you belong is something you could want? Something you could have, if only you reached for it?
When you both head to the bedrooms, even Hope may be a bit surprised by how many there are.

...I wonder if she feels a little bit like an outsider, for not being able to appreciate some things in the same ways. Hellfire, I mean.
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
[ and glancing to the wild roses, next ]
Those flowers . . .
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
...they feel like a sort of longing, though.

apart from like, metaphor. ]
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
I wonder if I could make it true, too - but these are things that I should save, aren't they?
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
After all, it seems like there's worse things than roses to be contended with. Perhaps let's see if it does anything first.
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
[ just reaching to stick the recipe in some brambles. eat up lil dudes ]
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
Nothing much seems to happen? But you feel that longing again, as your hands brush against the leaves.

turning her head to look at hope, ]
Um, did anything happen...?
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
Ah, maybe, though—well, her room should be in here, shouldn't it? That might be a place to put it.

[ reaching to take the recipe sheet back, sort of. preemptively wincing in preparation for the sense of longing ]
Re: CHANCEL BAD END=DEAD END
