[OTA] Bloom in Snow

[uncutclarity.livejournal.com]

The gardens at Diamoond Castle are a bit of a mess.

Nothing unrecoverable, but the head gardener - old Arnifrid, who'd taken over again after Desiree had gone off to the Outside for...whatever - had been wringing his hands, so Avery changed into her rubber boots and followed him out, making soothing noises.

Admittedly her gardening skills were only casual from helping her mother when she was growing up, but other than a few frozen plants - unfortunate, but as consequences of the storm go, relatively minor - the garden should make it through intact. What needed to be replaced will be. It's what they have the greenhouses for, after all, and despite the power outage, those were just fine.

Once she managed to give Arnifrid some shoulder pats and sent him back in for tea, Avery crouched down next to one of the aster shrubs, and smiles.

"You've made it through alright, haven't you?"

For his part, Davin is looking extra-Spadely (http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/le/burberry_body_fragrance_launch_271011/luke-evans-burberry-body-fragrance-launch-hosted_3578135.jpg) today, but he'll be smiling at Avery when she ends up turning around.

"Nice boots, know where I can get some?"

Mitchell was walking by the gardens on the way to the Diamond castle to visit his gamer friend. He was munching on an apple, which was scary, because hey, apples are healthy.

When he caught the ace talking to a shrub, he stopped, crunching loudly, as he said to her "Talking to plants makes you look crazy, you know that right?"

"We all have."

Blythe smiles brightly at Avery, shifting from one foot to the other. Even with a thick jacket, earmuffs, and gloves, she can't completely stop the chill from seeping through. "How are you, Avery?"
