Have you heard of Idrila? I am one who follows them ardently, as a Knight of Beauty. If you ever wish to ask anything of me, I will gladly answer, and do my best to assist.
NOTE
The universe is filled with beauty. No matter where one is in the cosmos, this is a truth ingrained in existence itself. Therefore, I shall treasure every meeting between each and every beautiful soul I cross paths with.
[Fray simply nods with regards to the first part; he does have complete faith in Argenti to handle this. There's no reason to doubt the knight. It's the second part that catches his attention, and he inclines his head a bit curiously.]
[ Argenti hesitates for a moment, recalling what he has done before in the past when he has met others, or offered as a symbol of his companionship, even if it has been some long time ago. Though, he certainly hasn't been doing it while he is here; perhaps because he realizes this universe may incur differing reactions than he is used to.
Customs may, in fact, differ than what he is used to, and he is at least, on some level, aware that he may be unknowledgeable in far more pertinent ones. Besides, of course, they did once agree the man happened to not be much of a flower person.
Maybe he shouldn't...
But, maybe he should anyway - at the least offer. Argenti gestures to besides the main potted plant assigned to the room, there are an assortment of them settled on the table together, different from the one that's come from the room, though potted plants all the same. After that, he's turning back to face the other man, and in sight the potted singular potted flowers consist of the following: rose, a viola, a forget-me-not, and a tulip. ]
...A flower to represent our companionship! I have often granted certain flowers before to others to symbolize my appreciation, or for the bonds I have made on my various travels.
I have had not yet the opportunity to do so as of yet, and perhaps, in some respects, I had not considered doing so...considering certain matters.
[ Even beyond different backgrounds to consider, Fray does not still strike him as a flowers-kind-of-man, but... ]
Still, I wished to impart a flower all the same, if you are willing to accept one.
[Ah, how very Argenti of him. Fray may not be the sort to favor flowers, but Argenti is, and he can see how much work the man has put into maintaining and taking care of these. It gets a soft chuckle from him and a rueful shake of his head.]
'Tis true I am not one for flowers, but considering it's your offer... I can't bring myself to say no.
[A very backwards way of saying that yes, he'll accept one, and that he'll take very good care of it, because it's a gift from Argenti and that means the world to him.]
[ Argenti says, feeling silly, but also somehow glad and privileged once more.
But, he pauses, because he has to pick one! After some thought he's deciding at last to give Fray the one that he thinks will be most representative of himself, so he picks up the rose and hands him it to the other knight. ]
[O-Oh, the rose... Well, Argenti probably doesn't mean any sort of grand romantic gesture by it, otherwise Fray would know, right?? Right. So he accepts it carefully with a quiet scoff.]
A reminder of you, hmm? I'll be sure to take good care of it.
[The fingers of his other hand come up to ghost across the petals carefully and his eyes focus on that rather than Argenti himself. This is... the most precious gift he's ever received. And also the first, but that's not the point.]
[ Argenti can only think that it just feels right...but, it is without a doubt a deep significance, even so. He smiles warmly when he sees the other man accept it. Something about it makes him feel deeply happy, and...undoubtedly warm. ]
I am quite happy to hear that you shall.
[ His eyes watch the way he touches the petals with a gentleness that he thinks others may not expect from Fray, but that he knows is possible. ]
I will also treasure well your appreciation! As I truly feel that it is what you deserve.
[But he knows Argenti means every word, and that only makes him feel even warmer. How did he get lucky enough to earn Argenti's attention and admiration? Ah, best not to question it, as he's sure Argenti wouldn't want him doubting himself now.]
I suppose I should take my leave - for the time being, at least. You know where to find me, should you need anything.
[And silently, he's once again glad he's wearing his helmet so Argenti can't tell exactly how flustered he is by this.]
[ Incidentally, Argenti does wishes he can see Fray's face right about now. If only he can see what kind of expression he's making, and perhaps imagine maybe what a smile on his face looks like - ah, shoot. Focus. ]

Yes.
[ He clears his throat. ]
...I do.
Until next time, dear Fray.
