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.



[...............]

[countermeasures]

...oh!

[she beams]

So it's you I should be thanking for this!

[fleshedout]

[A GROAN, NOOOOOO]

This is precisely why I want to keep it a secret. I don't need thanks for it.

[countermeasures]

[i'm sorry but it's touch week so she's getting a hug!



but she at least doesn't say thank you again.]

[fleshedout]

Doctor Su...

[what the heck why are you HUGGING HER, this is UNPROFESSIONAL and UNFAIR]

[but its touch week so. hugging back is happening]

Come on. This is too much.
