014: build me a garden

[cetraflowergirl]

[Aerith couldn't sleep, so she's sitting in the living room of her apartment, curled up on the couch. The coffee table is buried beneath sprays of flowers, and the couch is surrounded by buckets full of more blossoms. She's humming softly, watching her work as she's weaving a garland of bronze chrysanthemums into a small wreath. There's a few other

[Watches Aerith quietly, not saying anything or making his presence known since he would only startle her.]

[cetraflowergirl]

[Finishes with the chrysanthemums and looks around, setting down the finished wreath. Her mouth quirks and she frowns a little in annoyance, then perks up as she spots something. Carefully lifting out some bright orange and red flowers out of the pile on the coffee table, she starts weaving a new garland.]

[Annnnd he leaves the level!]

[cetraflowergirl]

[Sees him just in time for him to drop, was about to say something, then just sighs. She'll find him later]

[1stclass_puppy]

[blinks at all the flowers]

Woah. I think we have an entire greenhouse in here.

[cetraflowergirl]

[Looks up, grinning]

Not quite, but I'm working on it.

[1stclass_puppy]

[grins back at her]

You're a wonder, that would kill my allergies.

[cetraflowergirl]

I'm used to it, I suppose you could blame being exposed to the flowers from a young age.

[Waves him over] Zack, come here for a moment, please?

[fatedgriever]

watches, smiling a little.]

Looks like you're busy.

[cetraflowergirl]

[Smiles when she sees him]

Only a little. Do you have a favorite flower, Leon?

[fatedgriever]

[blinks, then shakes his head.]

No, I can't say I do.

[notachickenhawk]

[Have a hawk watching you, Aerith.]

[cetraflowergirl]

[Looks up and sees the hawk, her head tilts. She's never been studied by a hawk before.]

I don't think I've ever seen a bird like you before. And certainly not one that could access the second level.

[notachickenhawk]

[He sounds amused.]

[cetraflowergirl]

[Looks a little surprised, but only a little]

No, not that I remember. But then again, the city I was raised in wasn't exactly brimming with plants and animals. It wasn't until a couple years ago that I got outside the city walls, and even then, most of the creatures we saw were monsters. People and animals that had been mutated and released back into the wild as something completely different from what they had been.

That and I didn't really get the chance to take a good look around, we were rather busy at the time.

[turkalcoholic]

[standing five feet away from any flower; he doesn't want to step on them.]

You're ridiculous.

[cetraflowergirl]

Hm? [looks up from her garland]

Ah! Reno~! [She grins] What makes you say that?

The chocolate's in the kitchen if you'd like some, let me finish this really quickly, I need to take a break anyway.

[turkalcoholic]

[grins right back at her] You're wearin' yourself out. With flowers.

[ping'd! at the mention of chocolate, but waits patiently for her to finish]

[cetraflowergirl]

Well, some people just don't have many creative means to wear themselves out. These were on-hand.

[Stands up, a newly finished wreath of orange and red ranunculus in her hands]

Tah-dah~! Finished! [carefully picks her way out of the flower minefield she'd built for herself, then places the wreath on Reno's head. Humming happily, she makes her way to the kitchen to get herself some more water]
