In the Sunlit Garden
Who: Anthy and Seymour
Where: Victory Road - the National Park
When: Daytime
Rated: PG 13 for Seymour having killed a man and Anthy being...Anthy
What: Blank needs to test drive someone!
[The National Park was even more lovely than Anthy had hoped. The winter seemed to have melted away from this place, even if it was just for an unusually warm day, and shy buds were attempting to peek out of tender, green shoots. Anthy walks among them as easily as she breathes, pausing often to take a look at the plants trying so hard to bloom, and shaking her head when she finally moves on to the next.]
Go back to sleep, little plants. It's not time to wake up yet.
[She mutters this a lot, the occasional rustling of a Pokemon in the bushes and grass not a bother to her as she checks leaves and stems with a critical eye. Hmmm. Well tended, this park...that's good. Better than she'd hoped for.
Of course, she thinks she's alone in this quiet part of the park, but that is always subject to change. Who might she meet around the bend of a path, under a tree? Let's see...]

But on this day he thought it would be nice to finally try going to The National Park. While the plants were hardly there at this point it was soothing to see that already the plants were coming back. Even if he did have a slight feeling of dread for the next frost.
It felt... weird looking at plants now, though. Not necessarily bad, he supposes, but it's really hard to look at plants for him right now and not expect at least one of them to start demanding blood from him.
He's so distracted by looking at the plants, however, that he almost completely barrels into Anthy while turning the corner, just bearly through some miracle missing her.]
S-sorry about that! I didn't know anyone else was here.
no subject
[Thankfully, she stumbles back just before running into Seymour - not the stumble of an empty husk of a damsel, since that ends in falling to the ground, but a gentle scuffle of feet - and looks at him in surprise.]
I'm sorry! I didn't know anyone else was here, either. [She smiles, though, on reflex.] But that's okay. This is a park, isn't it? There's always bound to be someone in it.
no subject
[He looks almost ashamed that it didn't occur to him that other people would be here, even though Anthy just said herself she was surprised.]
So um, what are you doing here, if you don't mind me asking? It's still a bit early for the plants to start thriving again.
no subject
[Just getting on that level playing field of obliviousness.]
I wanted to see this place. I heard it was here, and I don't mind so much that nothing's in bloom. It will be, in time. That's what's important.
no subject
[Well at least someone else here seems to be fond of plants.]
... You have any idea what kind of plants normally grow here? I thought it would be the same as normal plants on Earth, but now I'm not sure now that I think about it.
[He might be slightly paranoid but hey there are living plants here can you blame him?]
no subject
I've seen a couple I recognize. There's some Hellebore in a more remote part of the park, and some rose bushes...I'm not sure which breed of rose, yet. There's also a bunch of empty space that might have bulbs waiting in the ground for spring, but whether they're tulips or daffodils I couldn't tell.
no subject
[He sighs, realizing he probably sounds pretty weird right now.]
... I feel like I'm overthinking this. It doesn't really matter what kind of plants are here, does it?
no subject
["And interesting to find things you don't" goes unsaid, but...at least she's not outright making fun of him?]
no subject
[... Wait no.]
I-I mean, it's just something that reminds you of home, I guess. Not that I'm really eager to go back home anytime soon.

no subject
[Tactful.]
no subject
[Blunt.]
But I finally left, and that's the important thing.
no subject
... Unless by "left" you meant "arrive here". I'm still not sure what to make of all this.
no subject
[She really did get very lucky in that respect.]
Mm...I agree. It is a little confusing. I'm still getting used to things myself.
no subject
[He can't say he doesn't envy her.
Seymour rubs his shoulder awkwardly.]
I'm glad I'm not alone. It's so hard to get used to-
["Sentient plants who don't seem to crave human flesh" was what he was about to finish with, but he realizes that would have been very bad.]
Um... moving plants?
no subject
[And the most sincere thing Anthy has said yet goes to that right there. She tilts her head a little, smiling.]
I'm not used to that, either, but I've really come to like them. It would have been so much easier to take care of my roses if they could talk to me.
