[Now feeling safer about being outside, Himeno has taken a walk to the park. She's happy to see Meryl there alive, since she heard from Vash that she had died. They had only had one conversation before, but she was glad to see her safe. She approaches quietly.]

Meryl...right?

[Meryl looks over. Oh hey she knows you.]

Yeah. You're ....Himeno right?

[white_pretear]

[She smiles and nods.]

That's right.

...How are yo feeling?

[derringerous]

[She sighs.]

Better now.

A

[hideandhero]

Having a genuflection moment or...what?

[derringerous]

[That breaks her out of her thought.]

.....

A what moment?

[hideandhero]

The moment where you wonder what you did wrong and what you could have done right.

[derringerous]

Oh.

Yeah. One of those then.

Is there a house option? Because that's where they'd see each other.

[Vash rolled over in bed, turning to view Meryl as the first rays of sun fell on him. He blinked, not entirely sure he was awake yet.]

Insurance girl?...

[derringerous]

[Meryl blinks.]

....Vash?

[mayflychaser]

[Long pause. Very long pause while Vash begins tearing up.]

Hey...you're alive again.

[derringerous]

[...she clenches the fabric of the sheets as she looks away.]

Of-of -course- I am....

Everyone does ....idiot.

[But her hands are shaking as she stares at the sheets. Tears in her own eyes.]

[Mokuren is your florist for today. You may notice that there are a lot of flowers which also grew in Mokuren's garden that one time. Waste not want not, right?]

Oh, hello!

[derringerous]

[Oh hey plant lady.]

Oh Hi! I didn't know you worked here.

[istheatmosphere]

Where else would I work? [her mun Mayfield thought it would be delighfully ironic to have her kill flowers for a living. She's smiling pleasantly because that's what you do with customers and also people in Mayfield need cheering up after this last... massacre and also it's nice to see a familiar face.]

[derringerous]

Well I'm apparently a "secretary" and I know other people got jobs they didn't like here as well.

Do you like working with plants?

[It felt so strange to say that and not mean the machines.]
