Opening up the flower shop~

Where: Aqures Ixen: Terra’s new flower shop (Also a rescue center for animals and pets) located at the border between the 14th and 09th District of Aqures Ixen.
When: 9th through the month of May~ and June!
Summary: Terra has just opened her shop, Jardin Verdoyant, after spending some time and money getting it ready. Bartz had helped her where he could. Now it is open and ready for business. In June Terra can be found at the flower shop or her home. The memories left her feeling a little uncomfortable about people.
Warning: None.


Terra had made sure the shop was perfect before sending out Tempest with the flyers. There were rows of plants cut from the stem and rearranged in lovely patterns as well as rows of bright seasonal flowers that were still rooted to a clump of soft dirt. She wanted people to be able to plant flowers as well as have them to be placed in a vase or given as gifts. She had collected seeds as well, which sat in small baskets on the front counter, each with the flowers names written out on small pieces of parchment. The whole store front burst with colors drawing in those who walked by.

The back of the store was simple, Terra was in the process of outfitting it as a greenhouse of sorts and she hoped to have it set up so she could grow spring and summer flowers throughout the winter. On the far side of that wall there were pens and a dozen or so kittens were playing with small toys that Terra had made a few days before. Two of the kittens, whom Terra has trained, were wandering around the store front pulling in customers with soft meows. One was black with startling blue green eyes while the other was an orange tabby cat who’s eyes shined gold in the light of the sun.

Terra was excited and it showed in a happy smile as she lightly misted water over a collection of carnations.

She had her long green hair pulled back into a ponytail with loose strains falling to frame her delicate features. For once Terra wasn't wearing a dress deciding to wear a purple tank top and a pair of worn shorts. She wore brown boots that ended at her calf which were slightly covered in dirt and scuffed from work.

Rikku would not leave messes, one did not become a master thief by leaving evidence. Unless she was using Terra's kitchen to make something - then all bets are off.

The thief smiled as one of the kittens reared too far back to pounce and wound up flopping sideways.

Lacing her fingers together, her hands move to rest behind her head, "Huh, do you eat? Or is it like a half Esper thing that you don't have to?" She realized Terra did not live here full time but it seemed odd not to have any food, when she snuck about looking for a rag before settling for the one in her alchemy pouch she hadn't found any. "Ohhhh" She turns to her new friend with innocent, wide eyed speculation, "Do you eat flowers?" No wonder she wouldn't want poisonous ones!

"Oooooh" It made sense, Rikku was glad. Now she could introduce Terra to yummy things like flavored ice, if the woman didn't know them already. Never the less, despite the fact that the thief was clearly younger than her mage counter part, she pointed to her friend speaking out in somewhat bossy, well intended tones, "You should have food! You can't stay somewhere without it! That's no good!"

She tapped her fingertips to her lips. The thief wouldn't lie and tell her green haired friend she hadn't been worried - that was what friends were for - instead she reached a hand out - wiggling her fingertips. "Lemme see your moggle whistle? I wanna tweak it so, if you blow on it a little harder than normal you'll call Mochina - that's my moggle, and she can get me to run to you. I want you to...understand you're not alone. Cuz. I'm you're friend now. That means you're not." A steadfast nod accentuated the last statement. Rikku - stood by her friends.

Taking the delicate whistle with a grin, the girl extracts her own along with some of the finer tools from her alchemy pouch. Used for extracting small seeds from pods or scraping residue, they almost appear surgical. Closing one eye, she looks down the length of each whistle. There may be a bit of magic to them, but in the end they are a tool as well, a finely tuned instrument like a fragile component on a machina.

Rikku makes a couple fine tuning adjustments, for a brief moment enveloped in complete silence - her attention on the small mechanism in front of her. "There." She offers it back " If you blow a little harder than normal now it should jump to hit the pitch for Mochina. We can't test it right now, we will later. Call her anytime you want to come get me - do it sometime soon to try it out." Mochina spied on Rikku's cousins for her, since life in Aqures made having a Guardian hanging over one's shoulder a bit awkward. Moogles though, they were like wallpaper.

Stashing the tools away, the thief hops back up to her feet, "I should get going. Want me to turn the sign back to open, or you wanna stay closed?"

Rikku grins up at her new friend, spinning on her heels. She's at the door in a flash of color, even when she's moving casually the girl can't help but be quick, "Oh I'll be around. Don't be shy using that whistle yourself huh?"

Leaning down, Rikku gives a kitten that had followed her to the door a farewell pat before opening it to slip out, leaving the sign set to closed, "See you soon Flower Girl, take care of yourself." The door closes gently behind her.
