“Lavender blue, dilly dilly…”

Only it had been ages since he’d seen any lavender- well, there’d been some in one lady’s garden, but he’d been busy at the time, so he didn’t think that it really counted.

“Lavender green…”

Instead, he had lilies, which he supposed was her trying to apologise in her way, except that she never got things quite right. Lavender was one of the flowers that meant home to him, and lilies meant… well, they could mean a number of things, depending on the lily.

“When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen. And that’s not an invitation,” he added, twisting the stems of the lilies of the valley around the others.

The bird would probably have huffed at him if she hadn’t been holding a lilac in her beak. She was excellent at looking offended, though.
