Zoe had been intently listening to everyone's suggestions and wished that she had spoken up earlier so that maybe she could add something original.
She looked back down at the text and tried to find something new. She saw the carnation, which covered disappointing, and freesia, which stood for childishness. There didn't seem to be any that would be better for those two words.
Looking up she added, "Well I think that we can all agree on the carnation and freesia. Those are pretty straight forward. The trouble seems to be with unfavorable.
Our options so far are
Yellow rose – jealousy
Orange lily – hatred/revenge
Red Spider lily – never to meet again
I hope I didn't miss any. Maybe we need a combination of two flowers to mean unfavorable. Possibly a flower that can make the one flowers negativity not as strong since unfavorable isn't a real strong word.
Maybe because it is rooted in Japanese they have a different meaning of unfavorable and 'never to meet again' could mean that you never want to meet the behavior again not necessarily the person. Or maybe you wouldn't want to meet them again while they are acting childish." Zoe finished babbling and looked up at the faces expectantly. She wanted to make a plan so she added, "Maybe we could list all of the possibilities that we have for unfavorable and then vote. That is if we all agree on the first two being freesia and carnation."
