[He's too startled to keep following her after that. In too much disbelief, both from her words and from his overwhelming need to shoot down everything she said, however she felt be damned. The instinct to steamroller over this conversation is too strong right now, and she...didn't deserve that. She deserve a hell of a lot more, even if she couldn't realize it.
So it's some time before Maverick works up the nerve to confront her again. He's disposed of the pink plant in the greenhouse, of course, because we can't have nice things even if he feels bad about the mood he'd put her in, and in the end he doesn't even stick around to see her. Going the dodgy delivery route, like she had for his birthday gifts, although it's a bit harder for a dorm. He had to bribe the bullshit RA with sugary bullshit coffee delivery to get him to make sure it would get where it was needed. What a fucker, that guy.
Anyway. Jolyne will be presented with a medium-small terra cotta pot filled with dirt and the barest hint of a plant, a single, cut stalk of gladiolus, and a folded up note.]
Gladioli are too fucking big to grow indoors so I had to settle for something smaller instead. Like the message of forget-me-nots, too, so it fucking works out I guess. You get both. I didn't mean to be just another person to go through or to be such a dickhead. You were there for me and then I didn't do the same for you so I kind of fucking deserve an asskicking if you want to give one. Atropos is still open to you the 28th if you feel like coming. Maverick
