Author's Notes:
Hey! I hope you enjoy this fic! I put a lot of effort into it, although I left it to the last minute, and while I'm not completely happy with it, I did have a lot of fun while writing it. Thank you so much to my beta for being absolutely amazing and editing this!

Title: Quiet Meanings

Pairings: Merlin/Arthur

Content Notes/Warnings: None

Summary: The quiet language of flowers was something that Gwen learned in her mother's lap.

Eirene was the one who taught Gwen that flowers had their own hidden language. Gwen would sit in her mother’s lap and look at the pretty pictures in Eirene’s precious book. She knew it was old, and Eirene never let her touch it alone because it was expensive, but Gwen loved it all the same. She learned to read from that book and learned the secret language of the world around her while wrapped in her mother’s arms.

Author's Notes: This is my gift to sushishin for Merlin Holidays 2020! I hope you like it, sushishin!
