Hello! I don't know too many of you yet, so we can just call me your Resident Gardener A.

I've been waiting impatiently for the weather to get better - I know there are some old orchards here, and so I was curious... Is the fruit in this place similar to what you knew, back where you came from? Anything different? Exciting?

I was thinking of trying a little bit of everything, but if you have a favorite - describe it to me!

Or something that tastes awful - also describe it to me! Tell me about what your tongue likes~

Comments

[bloomly]

In shape or in taste?
Blueberries... I think I might know who you are.

In which case, you don't have to apologize.

You did very little of the trampling.

[grandspark]

Both.
Taste, really. Unfamiliar. Just doesn't feel right, you know?

Maybe.

Still had to do some.
Why do you like gardens so much anyway?

[bloomly]

I like the way that they talk.

Do you not like gardens?

[grandspark]

How's that?

Don't see many on the Plate.

[bloomly]

That doesn't answer whether you like them or not~

I won't answer yours until you answer mine.

[grandspark]

[Insert huffy dragon noises here.]

They're fine. The ones in Wutai are relaxing.

[bloomly]

What kind of flowers do you like? Or trees?

( yes, she's still asking, not answering. )

[grandspark]

Hey. Isn't that cheating?

[He noticed. Rude, this isn't an interrogation. You don't have to win.]

[bloomly]

It feels refreshing to talk to them. They always listen, and they want to know everything. They have good advice, the kind that people might not give.

Your turn.

[grandspark]

Refreshing?
[He thought about it for a moment.]
Guess that makes sense. Like spring rain.
You ever act on any of that advice? Does it actually ever help?

I don't know. I don't know the names of flowers. The first one that comes to mind when someone says 'flower' are your those yellow ones. They're, what, some kind of lily?

[bloomly]

It helps!
But mostly I just like that they listen.
I don't feel so silly, telling them all sorts of things...

Do you have someone who listens to everything?

You're right! They're lilies. Do you know the meaning of lilies?

[grandspark]

I guess that's fair.
They probably don't judge much.

You know me. I don't talk much.

No. What?

[bloomly]

You should try talking more.
You'd feel much better, you know~

I'll tell you what they mean, but you have to tell me something that's on your mind, first.

Anything goes! But it has to be something you've never told anyone else. Maybe something that's been weighing you down.

[grandspark]

Do you think?
It's not something I need or crave.

Hmm. I don't need to know.
You sounded like you were going to tell me. I just prompted on cue.

[bloomly]

( now she's pouting. )

Rude! You have to tell me something...

You really aren't interested in knowing about flowers at all? I thought you liked them.

[grandspark]

You really think I'm the kind of person that will just reveal something like that? On here?

I never said that. I just didn't deny that gardens were relaxing. Flowers have their uses but I doubt you'd like to hear my opinion on them.

[bloomly]

I would like to hear your opinion on them.

[grandspark]

[Aerith...]

Fine. My only use for them is to give them to ladies who like them. They don't serve any other purpose in my life.

[bloomly]

Hmm...
That's okay. That makes the ladies happy, doesn't it?

It's a good use for them.

[grandspark]

[S-she would turn it into something nice, wouldn't she? Guess he couldn't even be rude to her if he tried.]

That's a nice way of looking at it.
Just like you.

[bloomly]

Have you ever given a girl roses?

[grandspark]

It's the premium flower, isn't it? Everyone thinks they're romantic.

[Aka: of course he has, he's a sap deep down.]

Yeah. I have.

[bloomly]

If a girl gave you roses, would it be romantic?

[grandspark]

[ ... ]

It would be...cute?

[He's not saying it wouldn't be romantic in a sense, but he's also not sure how to answer honestly. It would be a gift he wouldn't deny though. It would be...nice. He'd want to reciprocate.]

[bloomly]

It would, wouldn't it?

Okay~
