Rose: On a spur of the moment decision, she went outside to see the new flower beds that had been planted the spring before. They were so pretty, she thought as she examined them. Just like Adriana. "It's a white-pink azalea," she said to herself.
Amelia: It didn't take her long to realize that Rose was missing. She left breakfast early and went out to where she thought Rose might be. Without her noticing, Amy walked up next to her and spoke. "I knew I'd find you here. People don't like waiting," she said quickly. "You know that pink right there in the middle, fading out?"
Rose: "It looks pure, in a sweet, pretty way. Pretty like Ana," she said, thinking.
Amelia: She studied her. "It does, doesn't it? So many horrible events take place in our times that we are so very likely to forget that the world is a beautiful place; the people are what make our lives miserable. There are so many rebellious, cruel, hurting people in this world that those who are truly kind and good are beginning to be diminished into nothingness, taking all of the true beauty out of humankind."
Rose: She looked at her. "Yeah, I guess."
Amelia: She noticed Rose frown. "What's wrong?"
Rose: "We had these white lilies in our backyard that died over the summer. They looked sort of like this azalea."
Amelia: "Did they remind you of something?"
Rose: "I guess. Just some old ones I remember planting from my childhood."
Amelia: "I see. Well, if you want, I could find out where to get some of these." Rose admired Adriana, she realized. And she knew why.
Rose: "If you would, I'd like that. Sometimes we put them up next to our stables."
Amelia: "You have horses?"
Rose: Her features became less unhappy as she relaxed. "Just mine and Kira's, since she grew up with it, but I don't mind. Mine's the white one, it's small but it's perfect."
Amelia: "Of course it is," she said. She turned around and went on her way then, a small smile on her face See, she thought, I knew I could get you to smile.
OOC: couldn't remember what color I gave to Amelia, if any, so I just gave her that.
