- [ ❀ ] - Ume was extremely excited. All the plants she had planted were blooming beautifully. The hard word that she had put into them was finally paying off. She grinned brightly and got up from her spot, dusting off the dirt from her hands on her dress. She wasn’t one to care about getting her dress dirty at all. In fact, she sort of liked the smell of the fresh earth.
- [ ❀ ] - “I’m going to go get some water for you so i’ll be right back!“ She exclaimed almost as though the plants were in fact people who could understand what she was saying. Ume had gotten into a habit of talking to her plants due to her not really having many other people to talk to but she actually liked it quite a bit. She could say anything to them without hesitation— after all, who could a plant tell her secrets to?
- [ ❀ ] - As she hauled a can full of water back to the plants, she noticed the other talking to the flowers. At her comment, Ume lit up with a smile, her hesitation to talk to the other completely gone. “You like them? I planted them myself!"
Startled, her body flinched and her eyes shot up to the direction in which the new voice came from. ”–Uwak! Bikkuri!“ She yelped, falling back and landing on her rear. ”–tte, tte…“ She whimpered, giving her behind a rub before looking back up at the youth. "I-I wasn’t talking to the flower just now!” She said defensively. “Y-you were seeing things!” Oh, the famous denial.
“I just had time to spare so I was admiring the flowers!” Riruka, if you keep making up lies like that it’ll only become more obvious you’re lying. She sprang up from her position on the ground, standing up to look down at the younger female. “..You grew them?” She asked in awe. If only she possessed such an ability. “They’re nice.” She muttered lowly, not having the guts to say the compliment out loud.
She was slightly embarrassed to have shown such a side of herself to a girl younger than herself. How foolish. Regaining her composure, she dusted herself off and tossed a pigtail over her shoulder before studying the little one before her. She was cute, and Riruka could sense the familiar arrangement of spiritual pressure radiating off of her–a Fullbringer. “You, you’re a Fullbringer aren’t you?” She asked.
