Lizzy - brat that she was - had spent most of the morning searching for her greenhouse. She had come all the way over to DauphinMare from her "home" in Riverfell, and she had left her old greenhouse behind, and she had been promised that there would be a new one here to replace the one that she had lost.

And if it hadn't shown up, she had half a mind to tell Saul that they were going back. But somehow, she didn't think that it quite worked that way.

Regardless, she supposed the point was made moot when she did finally manage to find the greenhouse, stepping inside triumphantly - though her expression faltered slightly when she saw that there was someone already there.

She pouted slightly for a moment, shifting her weight from foot to foot - whether he had noticed or acknowledged him or not - and managed to mumble out, "Are you the wizard who is supposed to give lessons on plants?"

Neville was slightly startled when someone came in. Especially when he realized it was someone from Riverfell. He paled slightly, but she wasn't ... attacking him or anything.

"I ... what?" He shifted his attention reluctantly away from his plant to look at her. "I ... can," he said, his brow furrowing slightly. "If you wanted me to?"

He hesitated, then extended a hand toward her if she was close enough. "I'm Neville."

Lizzy was being sulky, and did not extend her hand to shake Neville's. In fact, she was having a hard time making eye contact with him. Her lower lip was stuck out in a mild pout, and her arms were crossing and uncrossing like she didn't know what to do with them.

"They said I had to share my greenhouse with a wizard who could teach me about plants," she told Neville, in case he didn't know. She managed to not stress the fact that it was her greenhouse, but it was a close call, and likely a complete coincidence.

"I ... oh." He said. "Yours?" he repeated, brow furrowing slightly. Was that how it worked? Should he have asked? He knew some places 'belonged' to certain people, but he'd assumed the greenhouse was his.

He had experience with them, after all, and he was going to be the herbology professor at Hogwarts, so it was a logical leap in logic. "Should I go?" he continued reluctantly.

He didn't want to leave, of course, but if it was hers and she didn't want him here, what could he really say about it? "Or ... I could tell you about some of the interesting plants in here."

He thought all of them were interesting, of course, but some were more interesting than others.
