Hello!

[Aerith is bright and cheerful, which seems to be the norm for her. She offers a wave, wearing a smile, her drake coiled around her ponytail and the pretty hair piece tucked into it.]

Not long after I arrived, I had this thought to open a flower shop. I haven't yet, but I have some flowers that are kind of taking over my apartment. I got these a bit ago, so some of them are younger than others, but they're all pretty hardy.

[Her camera pans over to a counter that's housing no shortage of pots with lily of the valley, larkspur, and primrose plants in a variety of colours.

Afterwards, she leans onto her counter and dips her head as she eyes her device, coming back into view.]

So I guess what I'm saying is that if you like flowers or you want something to spruce your home up, I'm happy to give you some of mine. If you don't know how to take care of them, I can help walk you through that, too. Or if you just want to come take a look at them, that'd be okay, too.

[After a pause, she continues.] Also, if you didn't know, larkspurs— [She points to the ones that stand tall with the colourful petals.] —are a favourite with King Arthur. Just in case you feel like getting on his good side.

I'd actually love that. I'd welcome anyone who might want to be involved, really. It could be a good way of bringing many of us together.

My name is Aurora, and I am quite adept at tending to plants and other matters regarding plants. I am not as skilled as my Aunt Flora, but she did teach me everything she knows.

A pleasure, Aurora. [She motions to herself.] I'm Aerith.

All that matters is you have a passion for them. Even if you didn't know how to take care of them, I'd still welcome your help. I'll consider your experience, however, a bonus!

Well met, m'lady.

May I inquire if you have begun this venture or if you are still in the process of making this business?

I'm still in the process of getting everything I need for it, but when it's all done, I'm happy to let you know. Until then, I'm just giving out plants from my apartment.

They are absolutely lovely, by and by. You have so many primroses, you could make so many into healing salves for whichever may not sell.

I don't know anything about that kind of thing, but I'm sure there are people here who could.

[It's a constructive use for them, for certain. Aerith isn't sure she could ever break them down herself given her connection to the planet and there is a very real idea that plants are quite alive and have feelings.

In the end, it'd probably be better left in someone else's hands.]

I wouldn't be surprised if I get approached by someone who wants to use them for that, too.

I would not say I am adept [Except she is.] at it but I have enough experience in such matters. That way, flowers that may be unfit to be sold just as flowers will not go to waste. [You use EVERY part of the plant when you live in the forest.]

If that is what you wish, of course. [Aurora is already a vegetarian, if she started thinking about plants having feelings she'd starve.]

I think that's a great idea.

[Even if she doesn't like the idea of hurting any plant... there's practicality. Not all flowers can be saved, after all, never mind how much Aerith might want to claim the opposite.]

When I manage to get my shop open, I think we should definitely offer that. It sounds like you'll be a really great help.

I look forward to offering it, Lady Aerith. Please let me know when you wish to begin. I have some salves and creams already made for my personal use but we can discuss what you may think best for the store.

Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Thanks for being patient while I try to get everything together!
