[The way in which Ori reacts to the declaration, first with surprise and then with overwhelming affection, makes something warm and affectionate swell inside of his chest. Archons, he loves her so much. He has for awhile now--her and Thoma both, if he has to be honest with himself. It's a strange and wonderful feeling, especially after isolating himself for as long as he has.
Her kiss is every bit as sweet and loving as she is, and he's helpless against it. He tightens his arms around her ever so slightly as they both melt into it, holding her close as if she might disappear the moment they part. For all of his issues and uncertainties when it comes to this romance, he at least knows well enough not to take it for granted.
When they part for air, he presses one last, gentle kiss to her forehead before pulling back enough to see her face. He then takes one of the night gladiolus flowers from his hair and tucks it into her braid among the other flowers already woven into it. The dreamscape will force them apart sooner or later, especially as they're on opposing sides of this feud, but at least this way she has a little bit of him with her as they separate.]
Flowers have their own language, don't they? Is there any special meaning to this one?
