Nodding in agreement, Lorelai murmured, "Yeah, I think Ian, Torri and I would make a good team. I wonder how it'd go if we all went into the Danger Room. Seeing the first go made me wonder, and now I want to do it myself," she laughed slightly. She thought that they would come together well given the chance.
She continued to pick at the dead leaves as he spoke again. She thought for a minute about her experience with roses. "Ah, honestly, I haven't spent all that much time working with roses. Never really had a chance to, I only could look at them, but I'm willing to learn from you," she said, quieting herself to listen to what to do and watched him with an old rose. She went looking for ones similar to the one he pulled out, but for the moment stuck to picking at dead leaves.

Colossus nodded with a smile and he shifted a bit as he reached over and showed Lorelai what to look for in a rose that was ready to be plucked. With a gentle touch and careful patience he pulled the rose from the stem. Lifting up the rose he pointed out the signs of withered and discolored petals. "When the rose has reached this point it is ready to be removed and make room for new life. Its the same in all things. We are born, we grow, we shine, then he pass to make room for new life. The only thing that is important is that we make something beautiful out of life to be remembered. Like a perfect rose in its simplest beauty would never be forgotten. But, it does take a lot of care and attention to get that rose to bloom so perfect. " He looked to Lorelai and winked hoping the true meaning of what he had said had hit home. He would be there to help her and do his best to see that she achieved all she set out to. So she could shine and in turn help others.
"One of the most important things you must remember, and this is not just with plants, is that patience is the key. You cannot rush things. The harder you try, the harder and more pressure you put on yourself and everything around you." he turned and went back to work on the rose bush he was at and let Lorelai work on hers as he spoke. "I am going to set up a couple things here in the garden for our team to work with. It will be simple things first. But will always lead to more."
