Following the hedges maze for a while you eventually find yourself in a small clearing with another white table sitting in the center. On the center of the table is another letter.

Echo would like to start by matching Citrine with 'pity.'

Re: [Discussion]

[sharksong]

Why pity?

Re: [Discussion]

[medpacksapunch]

...Oh.

Re: [Discussion]

[sharksong]

It's not too bad . . . right?

Re: [Discussion]

[brociopath]

I'll get Ruby started while we finagle the last few words on Citrine.

I'm thinking... Sympathy, Frankness, Indifference...? Since there's a range on there.

Re: [Discussion]

[sharksong]

We should give them bonds or friendship too. For Cyclone and his brother.

Re: [Discussion]

[medpacksapunch]

Bonds. Oh my gosh, Ruby bonds.

[nods, keeping quiet]

Re: [Discussion]

[brociopath]

Sasuke?

Re: [Discussion]

[screwthatnoise]

Ah... he is Tsunami's friend. Friendship? And stoicism.

Re: [Discussion]

[medpacksapunch]

Sourness of Temper, Stoicism, Bluntness, Coldness, Disdain.

Re: [Discussion]

[brociopath]

What about Kakashi?

Re: [Discussion]

[medpacksapunch]

For Kakashi...Admiration, Friendship, Warmth, Silliness, Sympathy.

At least, what I can remember of him, plus how he's been since he arrived...

Re: [Discussion]

[brociopath]

Finally, Mother. Do we want to be honest or suckups? If honest, Insincerity, Disdain, sourness of temper, busybody...

Re: [Discussion]

[screwthatnoise]

She told us to be honest... let's go with that.

Re: [Discussion]

[sharksong]

I want to say we should suck up, but if she really knows when we're lying . . . We're in trouble either way.

Your suggestions are fine for the honest approach.

Part 2

Bouquet 1:
Indifference, independence, variety, friendship, and silliness. We think it came from Lloyd.

Bouquet 2:
Bonds, curiosity, amiability, silliness, and perseverance. We think it came from Kakashi.

[Second Task]

[dramatispersonae]

When you return to your section of the hedge maze, you find that there are bouquets of flowers (and other greenery) that have been set out. Along with the flowers is a note that reads:

"Well, you've spoken honestly, but my children it is time you learned a lesson in subtlety and understanding the meaning that lies beneath. What your fellow heroes and knights think of you lies right before you, if you can find the meaning of the words they hold. But Mother is feeling generous today. Make an attempt to tell what they say and who would speak such words of you. Dear Mother may even tell you if you're right."

((Your team must guess the meaning of every flower in your bouquets and who sent you which set. Comment to the Turn In withe your answers.))

[FLOWER 1 IN BOUQUET 2 IS THIS THING]

How am I supposed to guess all that . . .

Re: [Second Task]

[standbyrival]

Are they color coded or something?

Re: [Second Task]

[medpacksapunch]

[f-frustrated]

Wow... it's really terrible to be staring at something you know you should understand and not having the skill back.

Re: [Second Task]

[standbyrival]

I'm just going to throw my guesses out there.

For the first bouquet, I think it's indifference, independence, wit or variety, then protection. . .or friendship. . ., and probably silliness or uselessness. I'm going to just guess most of these are Clue's fault. It's probably a team that some of you are close to.

The second one is a bit harder.
