The two continued their meal, chatting from time to time through notes. It seemed they both preferred communicating in writing to speaking face-to-face.

"Miss Florella asked me to bring this to you as a gift. She said she was very happy to meet you today."
The flower in the rabbit-eared maid's hands was clearly no ordinary bloom. Earlier, it had been tucked into Florella's hair as a hairpin. Its broad, icy-white petals had adorned her hair and features, making her look especially beautiful.
