She asked the brag to give her a moment, but he pressed on, forced himself on her. Clementine tried her best but wasn't ready. Her sister, Aster, has prepared her as best as she could, telling her don't take the sweet thistle and think of a song until it's over. No one wants that, a ravener ripping inside your mind, making you live your worst fears. Mother Fleur, the housemistress, is helping her get ready and also threatening her with a visit by the raveners if she doesn't represent the house well. It marks her as a Good Luck Girl who has to work at the Welcome House for all the rest of her days, and now that she's a woman proper, she gets to have her Lucky Night, where she finally gets to take a brag. This beautiful flower does not mean beautiful things though. She's finally a woman proper and her favor, the tattoo of a clementine flower put on her neck when she was 10, has bloomed.
