A Clearing In The Preserve, Thursday Evening

[puppy_fair]

This evening, there was a bit more activity going on in the preserve than the usual scampering and frolicking of the teal deer and the alots. Tonight, there were paper lanterns strung up through the branches and along the trees, there were tables set up in the clearing, and there was music. If it lacked a banner and balloons, they were hoping the glimmer of the lantern lights in the darkness made up for it.

Ino was turning seventeen, and there was only one thing to be done about it. Zack had sent out the e-mail yesterday, and he and Karla had taken care of the food and the cakes and the decorations, and, once Zack managed to get Ino to join them, they were going to celebrate!

Inside Karla's present, Ino would find several different kinds of bulbs and seeds for various flowers, each of them neatly labeled: oleander, belladonna, datura, lily of the valley, monkshood, Rosary pea, rhododendrons, summer snowflake, and tanghin.

There was a small index card next to each plant, with growing and caring instructions. On the back of each card was further instructions, but they had nothing to do with plant care.

The birthday card attached simply read Every lady deserves a garden as lovely and dangerous as she is.
