Covent Garden Flowers; Tuesday [02/16].
In the post-Valentine's Day aftermath, the flower shop looked like a warzone.
Literally, as it seemed that there was an actual War of the Roses going on inside the shop today, with battle lines being drawn and thorns flying like sharpnel as they waged their attacks and tried to recruit various tulips and carnations and bonsai into the fray.
Astrid was going to stay decidedly out of it, letting the flora fend for themselves, while putting up a helpful sign on the door to anyone coming in to please enter with caution. The path to the counter was clear, though, having been marked as a Nuetral Zone, so there was at least that, and behind the counter was considered a santuary, so Astrid could sit in relative peace, occasionally watching to see how exactly flowers strategized their attacks (could this be helpful in her Art of War class somehow?), sketching out the more dramatic moments, and flipping through a book of Japanese phrases she picked up at the library in preparation for next week.
And here she thought she might be bored after the big Valentine's Day rush.
Covent Garden is open!
