Thank you to the members of the botany department for helping me to find a place to purchase cattleya orchids on short notice.  Life would be slightly easier if I was less picky about my flower meanings, I suppose.

And, while I'm here, the drama department students are taking suggestions for next year's shows.   If you haven't made a suggestion already, consider what you'd like to see performed.

Perhaps.

So who are the orchids for, anyway?

[unknownrival]

I'm keeping it a secret. Or trying to, at least.

[croibhristeoir]

I see...well, I'm sure they'll be grateful. I tend to stay out of these things, to be somewhat blunt.

[unknownrival]

Someday it might find you. When that day comes I expect to be invited to the wedding.

And the bachelor party just to make sure that you don't do anything you'll regret.

[croibhristeoir]

...I don't do well with weddings, so I would advise you not to hold your breath.

[unknownrival]

Okay. Can I at least meet your girlfriend if you get one?

[croibhristeoir]

Highly unlikely, but yes.

[unknownrival]

Boyfriend?

[croibhristeoir]

It's not really a question of preference one way or the other, to be completely honest. I just have what one would consider poor experiences in the field of romantic exploits.

...Mostly with women, but I don't hold that against them in general.

[unknownrival]

Even so, I still think it could happen that you'll find happiness with someone new.

[croibhristeoir]

I doubt I would know how even if I tried. My experience lies in avoiding unwanted relationships, not being part of an honestly healthy one.

[unknownrival]

You're still young. Don't write it off immediately.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm twenty-five and not remotely interested in the matter. When would one write it off?

[unknownrival]

Sixty.

[croibhristeoir]

That's oddly specific.

[unknownrival]

I just picked it out off the top of my head.

[croibhristeoir]

Why are you so interested in my lack of a romantic life, anyway?

[unknownrival]

It was the topic, wasn't it?

[croibhristeoir]

It's just that you seem strangely invested in the concept.

[unknownrival]

I'm a romantic, I suppose.
