The tussie mussie should have no more than 3 flowers total and be of a specific meaning which you will determine. When you are done, give the flowers to your partner and ask them to interpret it. Keep a score on a sheet of parchment and give your partner 1 point if he or she correctly interpreted at least two of the flowers in the tussie mussie." What a ridiculous term. He felt ridiculous saying it. And for Kapoor, that was saying something. "And 2 more points if they could correctly gather the gist of your overall statement. Once that's done, pass the papers up to me and we'll use your scores to determine how the next part of the lesson shall go."
Page 217. Got it.

A what?! A tussie mussie? Er, that was a word(s) she didn't like thinking, even less saying it. It suited Professor Kapoor, though.

Tussie mussie....really...how...silly. Who thinks of this terms anyway?

"I think I'll start" she said, trying to figure out what exactly she wanted out of the flowers...which ones to choose? Let's give Jack something easy to interpret, right? Er, probably not.

The concept of picking up flowers was...nice...but having a reason to pick them was...difficult. However, Kaika made up her mind and placed three flowers together...one oxeye daisy, a lavender (which was quite pink, to be honest) and a yellow poppy ('twas so Huffie-like)...

So, the meanings were thought of, but the color combination of the three flowers wasn't...yellow, white and pink seemed made for Bunbury.

"Here you have them...what are your thoughts on this, Jack?" she asked, rather serious. There was no way she was saying tussie mussie.
