Now, she'd heard Tobias talking of the meaning of colors in certain flowers, particularly roses, hence why he wanted to give away yellow ones, for they speak 'friendship'. She knew the traditional meaning of the white rose didn't apply here, but she wondered and she asked, eyes on him the entire time, "Do you know what it means? The color?" There were different meanings, but there was one in particular that could fit this occasion.

Also, this was a paper rose, not to be confused with a real one. "You made it, yes?" she asked.

Big big biiiiig smiles for Lottie at that question. Tobias nodded his head in response, still sort of twirling the paper rose between finger and thumb.

"Yep. I remembered what you said, and this is one is specially for you." Yep. Nodnodnod. "Until I can get a real one, anyway, from my section of my grandma's garden back home." In any case, the paper rose was more likely to last forever, though his intention had always been to send out ones he'd grown on his own.

Tobias absolutely knew what white roses meant, yep. He was pretty good with Herbology, of course, but this information wasn't really the type of thing to appear in their textbooks. No, Toby had done his OWN research for his little rose project, and when Lottie had requested a white rose he'd scoured all the sources he could find to see if there was a meaning to apply to the gifting of the white rose in this situation.

So he nodded again. "Uh-huh. Well, usually it means, like, innocence and purity and all that, but it can also mean honour and reverence, and..." Toby paused, looked down at the rose, then back at Lottie. "... and they're also given to friends for farewells... and new beginnings." Here, Toby smiled again and held out the specially made origami rose. "Congratulations, Lottie. You made it."

Aaaaaaand he'd not forgotten Lex, either. He'd congratulate and give her a rose too, if she wanted one, but a yellow one (he always carried some paper with him). 'Cause they were FRIENDS TOO. But... yeah. Heartfelt Lottie moment first, heh.
