Le SAMPLES 'n' stuff.

[crablette]

[Sophie has spent a little time familiarising herself with the Garden's layout, but despite her endless curiosity she hasn't really had her heart in it. She missed Asbel, and Cheria, and Hubert, and Richard, and everyone. This place just wasn't home, or even like home.

But if she was going to be here for a while... she could at least leave a little piece of her world.

And so, the small pigtailed girl had located a spare bit of flowerbed in the Quad to plant some of the sopheria seeds she had gathered some time ago. She was smiling as she worked, admiring the other flowers, wondering if others might have done the same - perhaps this was a garden of worlds! She would have to ask.]

[As Grell was passing by, she spots someone planting flowers in the Quad. She raises an eyebrow and walks over to the girl, standing behind her.]

You must be new here.

[crablette]

[Sophie glances up, frowning a little in confusion.]

You can tell?

[redcinemareel]

Yes, because everyone knows that there is a designated place for that. [She points over to what Sophie's currently doing.]

[crablette]

There is? But there are flowerbeds here. I thought it would look nice with some sopherias.

[redcinemareel]

Dear, you have to have formal permission to do such a thing! You can't just do as you please!

[A pause]

That's my job most days~! [GRINS]

[crablette]

Oh... so where am I supposed to plant these, then? I only wanted to share them with everyone.

[redcinemareel]

[SIGHS.]

There's a garden for that. Fortunately, I'm not going to tell you about the location.

[crablette]

[...wait what.]

You're... not? Why?

[And why is that fortunate?]

[redcinemareel]

No, I'm not. How else will you learn if I give you all the answers?

[ADJUSTS GLASSES]

[crablette]

But... this looked like a small garden. What if I found the garden - would I know if it was the actual garden?

[redcinemareel]

[Grell can already feel her patience wearing thin on this girl.]

The garden I spoke of has not only flowers in it. It has fruits and vegetables growing there as well. [Grell gestures to the quad in general.] This does not.

[crablette]

Oh, I see.

Do fruit and vegetables grow the same way as flowers?

[This may seem like a hideously stupid question, but she means "do you treat them different when you grow them." She hasn't grown food-things before!]

[redcinemareel]

I suppose. [Like Hell she would know. Photosynthesis is odd, and not her area of interest.] They need all the same essentials.

Why?

[crablette]

I haven't grown fruit before! I wonder if I could grow a peach tree?

[redcinemareel]

[...oh, a naive one.]

Why not? Anything is possible! But don't stop at just a peach tree!

[crablette]

But I like peaches.

[They look like little butts.]

[redcinemareel]

Well, aren't you adventurous! [SARCASM]

Fine, stick your boring peaches.

[crablette]

[She grows like a zillion sopherias. Granted, quantity makes for sparklies.

I don't want to just grow peaches. It's just that trees get really big.

[redcinemareel]

Why not just grow an oak tree?

[crablette]

Why an oak tree?

[redcinemareel]

Why not an oak tree?

[This girl is exhausting!]

[crablette]

You can't eat acorns.

[redcinemareel]

You'd best tell that to the squirrels.

[crablette]

What's a squirrel?

[redcinemareel]

...

[NOPE. Grell just walks away. She doesn't have time for stress-induced wrinkles.]
