fandomtownies | Covent Garden Flowers; Tuesday [03/10].

Astrid wasn't entirely sure how it got started; maybe she had paused for a moment on one of her sketches from the trip on her way to a fresh page to draw on today, and that's what got their attention, but she noticed that the flowers seemed particularly interested in her work that day. It might have all been in her head...the way the flowers here seemed to have a consciousness all their own sometimes made her wonder if she was still traipsing that thin line toward madness...but they did seem actively engaged. But only when she was on a page that featured some of her drawings of the flora of the island, not so much anything else.

So she decided she'd spend her time at the shop today entertaining flowers that seemed to crane in closer to look at sketches of other flowers and trees and the thick tangles of jungle, telling them stories about what she knew about those particular subjects, while the more tropical plants in the store itself preened a bit with pride.

It meant she wasn't getting any new drawing done today, but that was fine. It was easier talking to plants than it was talking to people, and wasn't it supposed to help them grow, anyway?

Covent Garden is open!
