Chloe fidgeted when asked that. She wasn't looking at the flowers or the direction of the forest right then. She was staring at Eleanor with a mixture of worry and other troubled emotions. "I think I understand, though what they offered me was ... easier to understand. Maybe, it is because I want something that is... rather basic." It was shameful to admit it, but the fact was that she was lonely, and two years hadn't been easy, and weren't getting easier.
Chloe raked her fingers through her hair when she saw blue eyes turn back towards her and she fidgeted in her spot again. "Yes... and two others, but if you will forgive me, Eleanor, I would rather not name them right now." For a variety of reasons. "I suppose I've been conflicted lately, and the flowers seemed to know it."
Yes, that was a roundabout way of letting her know 'what' was wrong without being specific about it.
