Covent Garden Flowers, Friday 11/14

Hurley was mostly engrossed in reading one of his floral books, today.

If by 'engrossed' you mean 'attempting to read it in between bouts of falling asleep on the book'.

He was sleepy, shush. The book wasn't that boring.

For flowers minus Hurley.

Or... wake him up. One of the two.

Hinata had vaguely promised that she might stop in and, finding that she had nothing else to do, slipped into the store.

She smiled at the flowers. "Hurley? A-Are you around?" Hinata said quietly.

Hurley was, thankfully, awake when she came in.

"Oh, hey Hinata," he said. "I'm here."

She smiled, stepping over to the counter. "G-Good to know," Hinata replied. "Or e-else there would be n-no one here."

Hurley smiled at her. "Yeah, my boss probably wouldn't like that. What's up?"

"N-Nothing in particular," she admitted. "But it is not so bad. A-And you? Keeping busy?"

Hurley nodded. "Yeah. I totally killed my arms on this project on Sunday? But it was worth it."

She had been listening to radio.

"The cookies?" Hinata asked. "They were l-lovely, and I t-thank you."

"Yeah, radio kinda let people know," Hurley said. "I kinda just... did it cause it seemed nice. But you're totally welcome."

"It was n-nice," she assured him. "Though Yei was m-most put out by the fact that I d-did not let her play with them."

"Awww, poor kitty," Hurley said. "She hasn't escaped lately, has she?"

"Yesterday morning," Hinata said, almost rueful. "She o-only got halfway d-down the hall, but still. It was a good a-attempt."

"Aww, poor thing," Hurley said. "She's certainly, like... adventurous, at least?"

"She is, and I am g-glad," Hinata said. "Her name m-means 'flourishing' so I could hardly be anything b-but proud when she lives up to i-it."

"Good point," Hurley said. "So... can I interest you in any flowers?"

"I should t-think," Hinata said, amused, "that if I b-bought flowers, Yei would e-eat them."

She considered that. "W-What flowers, then, would you s-suggest for a kitten of c-considerable bravery?"

"Hold on," Hurley said. He grabbed his book and flipped to a page on edible flowers. "Lilacs, maybe?"

"And they smell l-lovely as well," she noted. "That d-does sound nice."

Hurley looked around the shop. "Do you want, like... purple or white?"

"Personally, I think... purple, for you."

"Why?" she asked curiously. "P-Purple for me, I mean. I t-think they're both lovely, of c-course."

"This is going to sound really cheesy," Hurley said. "But I'm just thinking, like... picturing you with the flowers? The purple might... bring out your eyes."

That got a blush.

"It's p-possible," she murmured, "I hadn't t-tried."

"Cause, like... the white would just sorta match," Hurley said.

"It d-does not help," she supposed, "that I w-wear a lot of w-white as well."

Hurley chuckled. "Yeah, I mean... I kinda... like your eyes? They're different, and cool and stuff."

"It's a f-family trait," she said, flushing a bit. "But t-thank you."

Hurley found a bouquet of purple lilacs. "A-ha!" he said. "Found some, dude."

She beamed at him. "M-Might I have them delivered? If I a-am doing this for Yei, than I m-might as well do it properly."

"Delivery is totally doable," Hurley said. "I could, like, do that after my shift is over, if you want."

"If y-you would not mind," she said, smiling but looking faintly worried. "I w-would not wish to cause a b-bother."

"Hey, it's totally cool," Hurley said. "Besides, this means I get to see the kitten."

"Y-Yei would be delighted," she said, smiling. "And t-thank you."

"No problem," Hurley said. He went and rang up the ~~handwavy~~ total, and pointed at the register readout. "That's how much."

She pulled out of her pockets a wallet and took out a few bills. "T-That should cover it."

Hurley nodded, and made her change and held it out for her. "Awesome. That's my first big sale. Thanks, Hinata."

"My pleasure," she said, smiling. "I will see you l-later then."

"Later," Hurley said. "And thanks for stopping by."

"It was n-no problem," she insisted, smiling and then slipping out of the store.

I'm around! Play with me!
