Lyney laid back on his bed, sighing. He and the Traveler hadn't talked much these past weeks. After he found out Lyney was a member of the House of the Hearth, he'd kept his distance. Understandable, considering the fatui's reputation. What hurt more was that The Traveler didn't seem like the type to judge a book by its cover. And the fact he's friends with Tartaglia, of all people. The last time they talked was when the Traveler had helped solve the phantom weasel mystery..

Lyney had foolishly given him a piece of his heart that day. A rainbow rose. Paired with the lumidouce bell he'd given the Traveler earlier, the corsage symbolizes passion, romance, and parting. A message, an apology. That is, of course, if the Traveler cared enough to decipher it. Lyney can't decide if he wants him to or not.

A pebble hits the window, pulling Lyney from his thoughts. Then another. He gets up from the bed to look out the window, shocked to see the Traveler standing there in the rain, with a handful of pebbles at the ready.
