Ivy can mean everlasting in a way too, if you think about it! Because if they use it for weddings and royalty... It's something people want to last for a long time.
Did you know that wallflowers is a type of flowers that can mean to help others -- or to heal, too? I think that's really nice...
[ Everlasting.. bonds of loyalty? She can see the appeal in using it for royalty. That it's used for weddings, though, that, um... it actually sees a few of her mental and emotional threads tangle before another spins a save. ]
arnt tey both clingers??
[ Actually, this might not be a save, not that she's sure what the hell would be a 'save' at this point. "It could be something" is wrecking her "it's probably nothing" while her "even if the disease could produce flowers with meanings relevant to its host, it'd probably be general like a horoscope" is being thoroughly shaken as she thinks through the meanings Basil has told her.
It's probably a good thing she hasn't made it to his shop yet. Her face is more than tinged with red. Yes, that's right. Red. That's -- ]
oh an tere was veronica and [ Oh. ] a um a thornless red rose? i mean it like tere was srsly a thornlss stem wit teh petals
Yeah, they both are... I think that's nice. It's no wonder that they're both associated with bonds that others share.
( Thornless rose...? Oh! )
There's a lot of roses that don't have thorns! Some red ones are called Oklahomas. There's so many roses in general... They're really versatile. And I think that's one of the reasons why they're so loved by others.
[ She doesn't know Basil well, but he has entertained her questions, and patiently. He doesn't know who the other person is either, so she takes a quiet breath. ]
those flowrs most of em came from me teh ivy, a frend of mine
teh uh 2nd time i caught the disease last secret that cured it was about wantin 2 kiss sum1 so
i got 2 thinkin about hanakotoba and floriography an well
[ Here she is, sounding so smooth and casual right now when inside she's a little bit... not freaking out, but (yeah, she's freaking out). ]
( It's scary for him to talk about. He had almost died back then. His friends and loved ones have almost die, just as he's sure that they had for Nao, too. )
I Saw different flowers from others... So, I think that you could be right.
I'm really sorry that that happened to you, Nao...
u hae nothin 2 apologize 4 but thank u basil i hope u had bettr luck tan me but um
i am sorry if i sprung teh topic on u its been n my mind a lot
i kno it probly doesnt bring good mmories
[ Not for anyone, she thinks. Even if some good things might have come of it, the experience was traumatic and Basil... again, she doesn't know him well, but she gets the sense that he's probably a soft person, kind person and she's pretty sure those kinds of people are more heavily affected by things like... well, that. ]

Ivy can represent bonds of loyalty and it used to be used as a sign of royalty, and in weddings, too...
And almonds and blossoms can mean some really nice things, like hope and promises...
Does that help?
