✿ Eleventh Bud [Action/Voice late morning]

[Things hadn't been easy the past few weeks; there had been ups and downs, much more of the latter than she would ever admit to. And as far as she could tell, it would not get better any time soon. At the very least, the weather was beginning to change even if she couldn't see it for herself. There was just something about the air of spring approaching that always managed to lift her spirits a little, and what better way to greet it than to start working on that neglected garden outside of House 11? Who cares how cold it is out, the plants are of higher priority.

It isn't until after an hour or so of working that her journal falls off her person and sprawls open in the dirt, making her frown upon hearing the familiar noise of it being activated. Taking to people probably wasn't a good idea right now, but she can try.]

… What are your favorite things about spring? Or… things you like the least about it I guess. Anything really.

[Later in the evening the residents of the large household might notice that she's managed to make her way to Silver's room instead of her own, though if anyone drops by the reason should be pretty obvious. You don't go through weeks of emotional whiplash and a day out in the cold dressed improperly without coming out unscathed.]

[... Big brother, that is adorable.] Seems like it, but... it was with my first dad, so maybe not and it was just waiting for a reason for me to try to remember.

[Not adorable.]

I am glad you remembered something happy, though.

Then do you have any happy memories with flowers, Freyjadour? [She's genuinely curious, since the exact details of the place Frey grew up in were still blurry enough that she can't quite try to imagine a picture.]

... And I guess I'm glad, too. [A happy memory amidst the terrible ones was definitely a breath of fresh air.]

.... when Lymsleia was little, I used to make her flower crowns. I did so for mother, as well.

[Though... his last one for his mother was as a memorial on mothers day his first year, here.]

I made one for you, when you were small... do you remember?

[While the first few words had begun to uncurl the sadness she had been all too familiar with for the past few weeks, the question directed toward her already begins to push it away. Of course she remembered the small crown of aster flowers.]

Yeah, actually... I still have it. [Yup, she's blushing.]

You do? [He's surprised... but kind of touched, and there is a mirroring tint of red to his own cheeks in embarassment.]

I'm glad you liked it. You were so happy when I made it for you.

Well no one had ever made something like that for me before. Still hasn't... not until you. [And even now, it still made her very happy.]

I guess it made me feel really special, and it was really pretty too.

Well, you really liked the flowers, so I thought it would be a great way to give you some....

I'm glad it made you feel special, though. [He smiles a bit.]

[If only he knew how much it really did mean to her. But she could at least try to repay the favour, couldn't she? Even though she had little idea about how to go about it.]

... Maybe we can go check to see if they have lily of the valley at the flower shop later? It's not time to grow them outside, but inside they'll be comfy, I think.

Sure. I think that might be fun.

...I am afraid I don't know much about what times of year a plant can grow well... do you think you could help me with that?

If you can help me to find some books about it, or tell me when there's less frost in the morning.

Actually... have you been reading about flowers, Freyjadour?

I would be happy to do both.

I have, actually... I started taking lessons with Ino a while back, and it got me curious. [Count yourself lucky, Kaori- he hasn't told anyone about these.]

You have? [It may not show much, but she's just a little jealous of this girl she's never heard of before, but... that was Frey's decision to make, not hers.]

What exactly have you been doing?

......Flower.... arranging. [there's reluctance in his tone as he admits it- the reason she hasn't heard about it is because he doesn't mention it. People will think it's girly.]

It's just a little something to do, that's all.

Flower... arranging? [Her eyes even go wider as she thinks about it, though soon enough there's a smile on her face. Feminine it may seem to him, but all the people she's known to be very good at it have been male – it was actually a more masculine hobby where she came from.]

That's amazing, I wish I could see it...

....Really? [His tone is surprised, having expected to be teased for it. It really was just a way to remind him of home, afterall...... An admittedly feminine way, but it was... nice, to try and create such elegance once in awhile.]

Yeah, I never thought anyone here would be interested in it... From what I've heard, it takes someone creative and very caring to be able to do it. [To be able to pull of that delicate balance while creating such beauty... Is it really such a surprise that it's an honoured hobby with someone like her?]

How long have you been doing this anyway?

....Creative and caring....? [W-what Kaori.....]

A... while. Ino offered to teach people a while back, and convinced me to try.

[Frey if you begin to deny that you are those things by the earth around her she will slap you.]

Huh, I never heard of it... How'd she convince you?

[He would much rather not upset her and continue the conversation then deny it.]

She can be very convincing.

.... Convincing how? [Does little sister have to try to look into this?]

She just is. [Nope. Not at aaaaallll.]

Anyway... how long have you been out here?

[She'll let this slide, for now given that today probably wasn't a good day to do that – she had been feeling a little faint this morning, after all.]

Since... I think it was after you left this morning. What hour is it?

....It is past noon. [Kaori it is far too cold out to be gardening this long.]

Have you had lunch? [there is concern in his tone as he says this.]

[Nonsense, it's not too cold when the health of the earth and the plants relying on it is involved. Why that concerned tone anyway?]

Um... no? I don't remember eating today?
