Summary
“A twenty foot fall is not nothing.” The Joxter’s quiet tone has taken a sharp turn. “If I hadn’t caught you—“
“But you did,” Snufkin says, his own hackles rising. “And I said thank you. There is nothing else to talk about.”
“We could talk about risking your life for an animal. A bluebird,” the Joxter says in distaste, “one of a hundred thousand bluebirds. What’s next? Will you help an injured creep cross the river? Save a squirrel kit from a landslide?”
An argument, Snufkin realizes, his stomach turning sour.

Summary
“So it wasn’t true then? What you said before?”
Snufkin blinks slowly at him. Moomin clarifies, “You told them you were spoken for.”
“Oh, yes. That’s true.”
Heartbreak is a physical thing, as it turns out. Moomin didn’t know that until now, looking at his best friend and great love and feeling like his whole chest is going to come apart.
“Oh,” he says. “I’m happy for you, Snufkin.”

Summary
A fundamental shift occurs; Alhaitham isn’t sure of its timeline—sometime vaguely in the weeks after Kaveh’s graveyard visit—nor the exact reason for it. Perhaps it's related to the volume increase of Kaveh’s smiles, or the way he’s taken to tucking some of the flowers behind Alhaitham’s ear when he dozes off reading, or a decrease in that bitter undercurrent behind their arguments.
All Alhaitham knows is something is happening that he has little familiarity with, and the unease that’s come along with it is just as startling as the problem itself:
He’s losing control.
❁❁❁
Alhaitham didn't expect he'd be the one to make the flowers bloom.

Summary
Kaveh didn't know that Al-Haitham is a sleepwalker. This is... an odd way to find out.

Summary
“Monsieur Chief Justice,” Wriothesley says, not sure if he wants to laugh or walk straight into the sea. “Are you unfamiliar with floriography?”
Returning to his dockets, Neuvillette says, “I understand it is a passing trend among the young people of Fontaine, but I have never given it much of my own regard.”
Wriothesley chokes. Half of Fontainian society communicates via the unspoken language of flowers, using bouquets to augment or even subvert their messages. “I wouldn’t call it a passing trend,” Wriothesley manages, strangled.
Wriothesley teaches Neuvillette the subtle political art of floriography, and Neuvillette takes the opportunity to communicate more privately with the Duke.
