Val was surprised to find when he returned from his time with Lorelai that the front of his door was blocked by flowers. Half of these were potted ferns and orchids, and the other half were a type of rare Bajoran lily which had the colors of sunset. He found when he entered his quarters, that the state was very much the same-- lilies and ferns and orchid had been stacked on every available surface. The plants on his bedside table had tags.
One read in small spidery script,
"I would like to see you again, I have enjoyed your company. I think of you often, now.
-Da-an."
The other was a loopy, cursive note--
"I'm chagrined by my own words, I wish to send you my deepest apologies. I was out of line. I hope you can forgive me.
- Rai."
