( she tilts her head again, a soft giggle leaving her. ) sure. . . they look super soft. . ( she says, letting her guard down for the first time in awhile. )

( she reached out hesitantly, running her hand along his soft ears. she smiled. ) you’re so soft —

( she giggles, petting him for awhile longer before pulling her hand back. ) you do a very good job. .

( she nods quickly. ) mhm !

( she smiles back, giggling softly. ) of course. . ! it’s true !

haru flinched a bit at the sudden voice beside her, eyes wide. she looks around to see if the other could possibly be talking to someone else — the other was so pretty. . . why would she talk to someone like haru ? “ uhm. . . y-yeah, it is — “

( she reaches up again, scratching gently behind his ears. ) you’re a very interesting person, lumi. . . ( she stammers. ) oh, is it okay if I call you lumi ?

she slowly nod, observing the other. “ y-yeah. . . violas can live through the winter, but I haven’t seen any this vibrant in awhile. . . “ she says, also kneeling to smell them.

she blushes, chuckling lightly. “ I study flora when I have nothing better to do. . . it’s nothing, really. “

“ not really. . . I just wander and observe the ones i find. “ she says shyly, shrugging.

“ ahh, it’s um. . . it’s complicated, really. the place i’m staying right now isn’t exactly mine to cultivate, and it takes money. “

“ yeah, no money at all. . . “ she says, freezing at the parent comment. she laughs awkwardly, unsure as to how to respond. “ uhm. . . s-sadly, that isn’t really an option — “

haru’s eyes widen. she quickly waves her hands in a dismissive manner. “ w-what ? n-no, you don’t have to do that, miss uh — “ she trails off, not knowing the other’s name.

“ miss rika. . . you’re very kind, b-but I don’t even have my own home to plant any flowers in. . . I r-really can’t accept this — “ she says, blushing and taking a step back.

“ uhm. . . it’s complicated. . . “ she says, averting her gaze. she really didn’t like talking about it.

“ it’s just. . . family issues. I’m haru, by the way. . . “ she says timidly, extending a hand.

“ not really. I’m s-staying with a friend. “ she says, shaking her hand as well. “ the pleasure is mine, miss rika. . “
