Bravery
- Tally was getting a homey feeling from the Smoke, but now she feels a little exposed, as if everyone knows about her treachery, both ruining her friend's relationship and the Smoke in general.
- She feels like the orchid—a destructive weed that ruins everything. (Even the hummingbirds like her also.)
- But David wants to talk to her about how special he thinks she is, which is just the thing a guilty person wants to hear. See, she's the first runaway to come all by herself, which gives her 100 bravery points, because she left everything she knew behind.
- David is also impressed that Tally did this all just out of friendship for Shay; and David trusts Tally because of how happy she was to see Shay when they met again. (Awww.)
