( Kind is not the word Chloe would currently use to describe herself. But, as ever, she smiles at Anders' good spirits. There's a quiet sincerity to it that acknowledges that flicker of authenticity from him. )

You're a delight. As usual.

( He may have essentially told her no, Chloe, I'd rather not be subjected to a flower crown but she selects one out anyway. It's more greenery than blooms, constructed from ferns, arborvitae and a few yellow flowers woven in. She isn't bold enough to pop it straight on his head, turning it around slowly in her hands as she presents it for inspection. )

You see... Ferns represent magic, confidence. The arborvitae is friendship and the flowers - the celandine - are joys to come.
