In turn, Potemkin stands and comes up to him with a confident walk, like they had been summoned to talk about a diplomatic issue and not a glorified dating ad.
"There has been no inconvenience, King Kiske. In fact, before you came, I had time to pick out something in advance."
Potemkin had been clenching his fists hard enough to strain the knuckles, but throughout that he had been careful to only touch the tips of his fingers to the palm with one hand, the one holding a bouquet. There within his closed fist he left enough space so that not one flower was bruised. From his side he sweeps and opens his hand in front of Ky - daisies, with white petals and yellow heads. They feel out of place for the season, but this is a greenhouse after all.
"These flowers, because they hold such beauty, reminded me of you, because you are also beautiful."
The symbolism seemed a lot more nuanced before he said it out loud. He doesn't feel urged to take those words back (he meant it all), but he waits for Ky's reaction.
