Covent Garden Flowers, Wednesday, 10/28

Dinah was fixing up the last of the pumpkin-and-leaf displays, the Halloween decorations, and the autumn flowers, just being quiet today. Oh, and looking up different types of compost and fertilizer to send to Reno in Midgar. Why hadn't she thought of that earlier?

Leda had a sudden inspiration and came down to the flower shop to put it into action.

"Hey Dinah."

Dinah looked up from a chrysanthemum arrangement and grinned. "Hey, Leda. What's up?"

"I had the idea of getting some flowers for Karla. Any recommendations for a, 'just because' thing?"

"Oh! That's sweet," Dinah said, smiling a little, then looking around with a frown. Tentatively she suggested, "How about some daisies and yellow lilies? Something cheerful, but not too formal?" She had to wonder if Karla had talked to Leda about what had been happening, but didn't dare ask. "Do you want a vase for that?"

She hadn't. Leda just knew something really bad had happened that Karla wouldn't tell her about. "That sounds good." Leda nodded. "And yes to the vase. Nothing too fancy there I guess."

Dinah found a pretty round one, filled it with water, then started arranging pink and white daisies and yellow lilies in it. She stuck in a couple daffodils too. "This should work," she said as she arranged them. "How are things going with you?"

"They're going really well." Leda smiled. "I even had some friends come visit on parents weekend. And I went to that resort in New York over break."

"Cool." Dinah smiled back, then finished the bouquet. "What do you think? That work?"

"Perfect." Leda pronounced. "Thanks, Hank."

"Later, gator!"

Yay! She loved it when people rhymed back at her. It was so much better than those who just didn't get it and objected.

After arranging to have the flowers delivered, she turned to leave. "Oh, I almost forgot. I'm thinking of inviting people to come see Bordertown. Would you be interested?"

Dinah blinked, surprised. "Maybe? Would depend on when, mostly. And who else was going." She smiled. She didn't really know Leda that well, but if Karla were going, it might be fun. "I'm already planning one trip, though. So maybe not. But thanks for asking?"

"I'll be in touch." Leda nodded.
