"I'll wear a violet shirt so I'm more easily recognizable. I'm pretty tall, though, so you shouldn't miss me," Blue said, proceeding to describe his appearance to her.
If before he'd been rather hesitant, the more they discussed their upcoming meeting as a done deal the more he started to open up to her, his enthusiasm noticeable in his voice.
Noelle gave him similar details about her appearance. For the first time she was worried that he might not like her, but she pushed everything down. She would put more effort in her appearance than usual and she was sure he was bound to find her attractive. If she had to buy one of those pheromone perfumes advertised online, then she would do that too.
"But really, Blue? Violet?" she chuckled. "You really wear violet shirts?"
"I'll have you know they are very nice shirts," he retorted playfully.
"You and your fancy violet," she teased. "Why don't you just call it purple and be done with it? It's the same thing."
"It's not. There are alotof differences between violet and purple," he said with a huff.
"Sorry I offended your color sensibilities, Blue. Please, enlighten me what those differences are."
"Have you heard about synesthesia?"
"Huh?"
"It's a condition where your senses are linked together. For me, all my other senses converge into taste. Sounds and colors have flavors for me."
Noelle blinked in surprise.
Good God, but it must have been divine intervention that she'd been too tongue tied to talk to him in the past. Otherwise he would have surely recognized her voice if he possessed such abilities.
"Wow. That sounds awesome," she breathed out.
She might not know too much about synesthesia, but as he gave her more details about it, she realized what it could mean for them—forher.
"So music has flavors for you?" She suddenly probed.
"Yep. It depends. Sometimes the notes themselves have a certain flavor and sometimes it's the overall melody."
God, but if he could taste sounds… She would play whatever he wanted for him for the rest of his life. She wouldfeedhim her sounds.
Not wanting to give herself and her enthusiasm for the future away, she cleared her throat as she brought the conversation back to their previous topic.
"You didn't tell me the difference between fancy violet and purple."
"It's simple. Purple is man-made by mixing colors together. Violet is natural. It works the same with my tastebuds. There's a counterfeit taste to purple whereas violet has a very pleasant aroma."
"So it all comes down to your interactions with the color and how it affects you, no?"
"Precisely. You're pretty smart, aren't you," he complimented her, making her redden from head to toe.
"Oh, I bet I can be smarter. Watch me," Noelle declared, opening the shared screen, and pulling up the search engine to search for weird color names.
"Are you really looking for the rarest color names?" Blue asked with a chuckle.
"Of course. If you can be fancy with your violet then I can be fancy with my favorite color too."
She was focused on finding something right as she scanned the list of names. Yet instead of settling on just one, she decided to mix two together.
"Ok, I got it," she told him, moving her cursor to highlight two different colors. "You have your fancy violet and I'll have…" she paused as she tried to pronounce the very difficult words, her breath into the mic, as well as the whispers of her failed attempts.
Noelle cleared her throat.
"My favorite color from now on isCadmium Quercitron."
