melodiesoflife | 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.

"Ah yes. Hello Selen." She smiled lightly and then turned towards the upset moogle. "And you as well." She didn't know his name but she wanted to at least say hello.

Terra set down her watering pale and walked closer to the front of the store. There were two little kittens on her heels who moved as she did only taking the time to stop and play after Terra had stopped.

"Can I help you with something?"

"Terra this place looks rather magnificent. The flowers are very lovely," she mused looking around. It was like she was in another place, and it was also nice to see someone she hasn't seen in a while.

"Hello, my name is Galahad, Kupo. Thank you for being patient with Selen," he politely greeted Terra. The last time Selen was out and about, she didn't really take him with her.

"Yes, I'm looking for some flowers to decorate my home. How are you faring by the way?"

“It’s nice to meet you Galahad.” Terra inclined her head slightly greeting the little moogle. Somehow it was easier for her to talk to the fuzzy creatures and so her shoulders relaxed feeling more at ease. “There isn’t any need to thank me. You’re very lucky to be close with her.”

Once her greeting with the moogle was over she turned towards Selen with a shy smile. “I’m doing well.” Which was only half true but Terra didn’t know if she was ready to explain. The flower shop was the perfect distraction from her turbulent feelings.

"Hello Miss Terra, kupo," he replied giving her a small bow of his own. Galahad was rather grim but he was somewhat kind too. He liked the quiet girl, much more than his non stop headstrong owner, who kept stringing him along for everything!

"I am sure you'll come to be just as close as well, m'dear," Selen mused overhearing their conversation, "I'm glad that you are doing well!~"

Galahad just sighed but nodded his head to Terra. Selen didn't seem to ask beyond that, but she did move onto something more eventful, "So what kind of flowers do you have here? Anything bright and happy?"

"Ah, yes."

Terra's fingers laced together nervously as Selen looked over the plants. She had bushes and plants that could be placed in the ground as well as stem plants. There weren't to many selections just yet but there were roses and carnations, a few iris's and daisy's, as well as a few more uncommon flowers.

She had also managed to collect a wide rang of colors making her store look like it was the start of a rainbow.

Selen went for the Irises and the Daisies as they were the most familiar to her. She was looking at some other flowers as well. Some of which she was trying to figure out what they were called. Eventually, she turned to Terra to ask for some advice.

"Terra, what else would you recommend for house decor?" she mused with a smile.

Terra moved to the left side of the store and gently picked up a potted plant. It looked like a plain bush except that it was covered in bright purple buds. "This will bloom in a few days. After that these buds will continue to come back. It's more permanent then stem flowers."

It was also very pretty.

"Oh my those look rather gorgeous. What are they if you don't mind me asking?" she mused looking over at the potted plant that Terra was offering to her. The female seemed rather cheerful and pleased with the choice that the girl brought out for her, "Are they also easy to take care of?"

"Ah." Her cheeks flushed nervously. "I forgot what they are called. You need to water them twice a week but they do well indoors. After a few more days the buds will bloom into small purple flowers."

Terra felt as if she should have remembered the name but the moment that Selen asked it slipped from her thoughts.

"That doesn't sound hard at all. Thank you Terra," she replied happily, "Perhaps you can ring me up at the register?"

It would be a good time to see what else she would like before she ran off completely. She really would be coming here a lot more often than she should.

"AH, yes." Terra moved behind the counter taking Selens money and placing it where Tempest had instructed her. "Thank you for coming."

Terra smiled widely at her friend. It was always nice seeing Selen even if Terra didn't really understand her.

"You're very welcome. I'll be frequenting your shop often. Perhaps, I'll bring snacks next time too," and they can have tea time or something. Selen was eager to enjoy the other's company when she could.

Selen was starting to understand Selen a little bit but she's still very unaware of how Terra worked.

Terra smiled shyly. "I'd like that." Though Tempest was the master at making tea.

She watched as Selen left wondering how often she'd see the other hero now that she could easily be found.
