Galahad is, honestly, very used to letting someone else tell him what to do, and he tends to take whatever suggestions Shen Qingqiu makes. It feels different from listening to God, and not just because Shen Qingqiu is not God. Shen Qingqiu wants to help him make something good because he cares about this because Galahad cares about it.
It's also just pleasant to work on something with the company of another person he likes. He doesn't say much, but he responds if Shen Qingqiu addresses him, and he appreciates Shen Qingqiu's occasional touches, the moments when their hands brush or their shoulders bump. It feels like being around Percival, but without the agony of desire. It's nice. It makes him want to think of other things they could do together, and he finds himself actually thinking about the future as something he might at some point anticipate instead of dread.
Eventually it seems there's little more to do with the arrangement; the flowers are gathered in a fanned-out spray, and wired together carefully with floral wire. He can tell that Shen Qingqiu's help has made something better than he could do on his own.
