He wasn't happy about the broken stems, but he wasn't about to ask to replace flowers that she had already had to wait a couple months for. He'd make it up to her for sure, foraging for flowers daily to remind her of his presence.

He reached out towards her hand, wanting to reassure himself as well as her that he truly was here, but his limited experience caused his movements to be timid and awkward.
