[she will and will put su in a locker]

Maybe, but for now, just try it out with the others. Wish I could help. Don't have the right colors for that, unless you want to throw some food at these plants for some reason.

[countermeasures]

Oh, I think I read a book about that.. it's called composting, isn't it?

[fleshedout]

....I was joking. They actually do that?

[countermeasures]

Yes. They place food scraps that would otherwise simply be thrown out back into the soil so that it can be absorbed for nutrients, which in turn feeds the plants that grow in that soil.

[fleshedout]

Huh.

[The vaguest smile on her face.]

I've heard of fertilizer but that's something new. You're smart as always, Doctor Su.

[countermeasures]

I'd never heard of it before, but they had books about it in the library! It might be interesting to give it a try at some point...

[fleshedout]

Sure, you should go for it. Maybe I'll check them out, too...

[countermeasures]

If you did, we could give it a try together!

[fleshedout]

[NOT THE CUTE SMILE...]


.....Sure.

[countermeasures]

[she looks excited]

I'll look forward to it.

[fleshedout]

...


[It's touch week so she just finds herself reaching out and. Patting Su on the head.]

...Good. [INTERNALLY YELLING. PLEASE IGNORE THE HEAD PAT]

[countermeasures]

[she seems pleased by the headpat but that's probably just because it's touch week]

[fleshedout]

[An awkward sort of cough as she draws back.]

Anyways. Um. [......] It's good you. Like the greenhouse.

[countermeasures]

It's a very nice addition to things here!

Although... I do wonder why it appeared here. It seems a little sudden, doesn't it? It just came out of nowhere...

[fleshedout]

It....did, didn't it.

[She's now more visibly awkward, though maybe its just because of the headpat from before.]

I'm sure Shale enjoys it.

[countermeasures]

I haven't seen them up here yet... I've only seen them at work in their own garden.

[she smiles and turns some of her attention back to the planters.]

...I hope they enjoy it too. But even if they don't, I definitely will for sure.

[fleshedout]

To be fair, their garden is pretty big.

[She nods, silent for a moment, before saying:]

...............I'm glad.

[countermeasures]

That's true... if I had a garden of that size I might never leave it unless I had to see a patient.

[she giggles]

I hope all of us are able to enjoy using this, now that we have it. Whoever's responsible for it really did us a favor!

[fleshedout]

[A tilt of the head.]

...You think someone was responsible for it? Not the Prism?

[countermeasures]

Well... I think maybe someone did something with the Prism to make it?

Like how we all talked about places we wanted to see the other week, and then they showed up.

[fleshedout]

[Hm. It's a thought for sure, and she seems to ponder it for a moment.]

...Say. Doctor Su. This seems a little random to ask, but...have you ever received something called a "Special Delivery"?

[countermeasures]

A... "Special Delivery"?

[jiuqing's brow furrows, and she shakes her head.]

No... I haven't. Have you, then?

[fleshedout]

Yes, I have.

[She...seems to be debating something, here, thinking.]

Could you...keep a secret, Doctor Su?

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

Of course.

[fleshedout]

...I received a seed under a "Special Delivery". The sender was anonymous. And it told me I could plant this seed and wish for whatever area I wanted.

[...]

So I planted it.
