1st Flower ❀

Greenhouses
[Flora had been invited here and for some reason she found herself coming here. As to why she didn't know, however when she arrived she settled in and began exploring eventually finding herself in a place of her dreams. A Greenhouse. Her eyes sparkled when she saw it and wondered what kind of plants were inside. Making her way she soon found herself entering the greenhouse her eyes focusing on what was inside.

It was at this point that she knew what she could be the teacher of and it was going to be in the subject she loved most, plants. Flora moves about studying closely some of them, trying her best to figure out what some of them were as she had never seen them before.]

Corridors (Both Morning and Night)
[Flora had been told that as part of being a teacher she was to go on patrol at certain times during the day and night due to it being a summer holiday. She didn't mind this as much since it mean she could explore a bit more and see what beauty there was in this place. So she can be seen wondering around most of the time, although it's hard to tell if she is on patrol during the day or just wondering. During the night however she is on full alert, knowing now that students aren't allowed out after a certain time.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Seth is already admiring one of the plants when the woman walks in. He’s older than most students so he isn’t surprised if she doesn’t recognize him as a student. His bright yellow eyes glint as he bows his head in hello.]

I apologize if I’m not supposed to be here.

[He doesn’t know and he really doesn’t care but there is no reason not to be polite. In front of him a plant shifts and moves as if responding to the sound of his voice.]

[Flora was already studying one plant that she was pretty sure she had never seen before. It was really interesting to say the least. Turning her head slightly, she nearly jumped, having not noticed that she wasn't alone until just now.]

Oh, I am so sorry. I'm not sure if you are meant to or not, but I won't be one to complain at fellow plant lovers to admire what beauties there are around.

[He smiles at that, backing up from the strange plant.]

I was just looking around. I've never seen these plants in person.

I have to admit, I've seen a lot of different plants that most people have never heard of before and in some cases 've never seen before. But it's always fun to learn and expand what we do know.

[She lightly touches on plant, a small smile passing by her lips.]

Would you mind telling me what some of them are?

[He's still learning proper names but some of the plants look a little familiar. Not that it means he knows anything about them.]

I'm still learning myself, but if you ask me again tomorrow, I might be able to tell you then.

[After all they are plants and she learns about them quickly, or at least since this will be her subject she need to learn quickly.]

Aren't you a teacher?

[He raises an eyebrow at that curiously.]

Technically, yes. However I went to a very different school where we were taught different things. Most of the plants here are vastly different than those at Alfea. I didn't even know they existed.

However I am a very fast learner when it comes to plants and nature.

Maybe we can learn together.

[He smiles though his grin doesn't reach his eyes.]

I'm hoping to catch up before the school year starts.

Perhaps, it's always fun to learn things with others.

[She nodded slightly. That makes sense really.]

So which plant do you think we should start with?

[He hums softly, tapping his chin.]

We can go by the book or in a circle around the green house.

By the book?

[She knew it was a saying, but Flora already had gone to one plants, kneeling down slightly to study it for the moment.]

I'll start here.

[Seth walks over to it, watching both her and the plant curiously.]

[ Tokiya is carefully pruning a few of the plants in the greenhouse. Though there seems to be something slightly off about the way he's doing it, the plants seem to be shrinking away from him for some reason.

Strange, right? ]

[Flora hadn't spoken up right away. instead she was trying to figure things out, like why they were acting in such a way. Maybe they didn't like what he was doing maybe? After a couple of minutes she figured by this point she should be talking.]

Excuse me, is it alright to ask if you are meant to be doing that to them? They don't appear to be liking it after all.

[ When she comes closer to him, she would be able to notice that the area surrounding him is noticeably colder. He has his wand tucked into one pocket with the tip sticking out, presumably that's where the magic is coming from. ]

Of course.

[ His voice is clipped with the faintest trace of a Japanese accent, but layered surprisingly richly (as is appropriate for someone with voice training).

But he doesn't explain further. Presumably it's the cold that's causing the plants to cower? ]

[Flora leans over slightly as she soon realized what the problem was. With a small frown she figured she should at least mention it to him. Maybe he didn't know after all.]

I think... You're wand is causing the plants to get cold. So perhaps you could maybe make sure the wand is away.

[ He sighs, still snipping leaves off the herbs one by one with a small pair of silver scissors. ]

Has it perhaps occurred to you that it is intentional?

[ But wait - the plants he are harvesting do need silver scissors to be suitable for potions coursework, but the manual didn't specify that they need to be frosted. ]

I don't think it's necessary to hurt plants with frost, no.

[Sure she couldn't understand them right now, but she could tell that could be how they were feeling and she hated that. Just wasn't right.]

If you just asked nicely, I'm sure they would be more than willing.

[ He doesn't seem convinced, though. Who is this woman who comes in and critiques his handwork when not asked? ]

Asking nicely rarely works on humans, much less plants.

[ When each leaf comes off, he directs a crackle of magic to preserve it in a very thin layer of ice. ]

[She can't help but sigh slightly. He didn't know anything about plants, but then again she was the fairy of nature and had a much better understanding than normal people.]

It depends on the person actually, but plants are always more than willing to cooperate when one asks.

[ Unfortunately for Flora, Tokiya has no way of knowing that. ]

If you're so sure about that, why not demonstrate?

[ He really is stepping back to let her try, if she wants to. ]

[She nodded slightly moving to check on them. First things first she needs to figure out what it was, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to actually ask them. She found that she can't use the ability right now, but that didn't stop her from showing the plant kindness, tending to it before giving a small smile.]

Now will you be so kind as to give us what we need?

[She ever so gently starts cutting and it seemed willing enough at least.]

[ Tokiya says nothing at first, observing her actions. When she finally starts cutting the plant, he can't not acknowledge that she managed to get a better response than he did. ]

It works for you, at least.

[ Maybe he's too frosty for this altogether... right? ]

[She gives a small smile placing the cutters at the side for the moment. She figured right now it was for the best to not cut from that one any more.]

It would work for most really. But... Did you try this method before?
