[fortune_sought]

[the CAT activates, seemingly by itself, to show Sophie Smith tending her flower shop. at the moment, she is arranging flowers in the front window, mumbling to herself as she does so. occasionally, she glances up to peer through the window--painted with the curly-lettered message "H. JENKINS FRESH FLOWERS DAILY"--to see if any customers might be coming]

[a voice drifts through the air, saying with a thick Welsh accent:] "If you were expecting an ultraviolet violet or an infra-red geranium, you got it wrong, Mrs. Mad Scientist."

[Sophie jumps at the voice. an expression of worry crosses her face for a moment--and then it passes. she goes back to her work as though nothing has happened, mumbling cheerfully as she puts a final sprig of Baby's Breath into a pot teeming with strange, navy blue roses]

[ooc: Sophie has assumed her resident persona for the current plot.]

Comments

[terezi_pyrope]

[and someone who's been walking by happened to take a good whiff of whatever that was. then that someone grins as she walks straight in.

it's terezi pyrope on the case of the wonderful smelling flowers.]

...More like a genius scientist with the way these flowers are growing! I can just tell by the scent, you're doing a great job.

[and she added, just to tease.]

For now.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie frowns at that comment, not quite sure what to make of Terezi's acknowledgement of the strange voice. but she puts it out of her mind after only a moment's hesitation, and she smiles warmly] Hello, Terezi. Is there anything in particular you're looking for today?

[terezi_pyrope]

[for a moment, she is about to answer no, not really, but then a single thought occurs pertaining to a certain someone, and ponders if there is anything she could get.]

Actually, maybe so. Something a little bit cutesy?

[a giggle.]

Romantic?

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie smiles, then puts a hand to her chin thoughtfully] Well, roses are always romantic. Red roses especially. I suppose daisies are cute, and I'm partial to coloured orchids, myself. What would you like to see first?

[terezi_pyrope]

[she thinks she might go for the traditional route.]

Hmm... the red roses! Not only are they the best color, but they never really get old.

[fortune_sought]

[she nods] That's very true, and I do have some here. [she steps over to a shelf, bringing down a pot full of fresh red and white roses] How many would you like? Just one, or a bouquet?

[terezi_pyrope]

[she takes a nice whiff and grins.]

These smell amazing, Sophie!

A bouquet would do.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie nods with a slightly proud smile, moving to the counter to gather some paper to wrap them in] Would you like to choose which ones, or shall I?
