Monday: Covent Garden Flowers

[mylandmyrules]

Nell didn't expect too much business today given that it was a holiday, but that just gave her more time to finish up the never ending paperwork. And a bit of an excuse to be a bit lazy in the afternoon once all the work was done.

Still, she was here and Covent Garden Flowers was open.

Would a little bit of business be all right with Nell?
Say, if some alien decided to stop by at lunchtime and pick out some flowers to bring to someone?

"Hello, Nell."

[mylandmyrules]

"Stark!" Nell said with a smile. "Hello. It's nice to see you here. How can I help you?"

[stykera]

"I...I thought I'd buy some flowers," Stark said. "For Summer. Just...just because."

He'd been randomly struck by the thought he should do something nice for no real reason so he was going with it.

"Flowers are perfect for just because," Nell said. "Did you have something in mind? I know Summer likes pink and I have these beautiful hot pink Gerbera daisies."

[stykera]

"Just something cheerful," Stark said. "Those seem perfect. Very pink."

Startlingly pink, really. Which was, in fact, perfect for the person in question.

"Hot pink and cheerful," Nell agreed. "Do you want to write her a little note while I do them up for you?"

She pointed to the variety of small cards on the counter, as she started gathering the daisies and a few bits of baby's breath to put together.

"Good idea," Stark said with a nod.

He picked up one of the cards and a pen and wrote a short note. He paused then, drew a tiny smiling face half covered with a mask, and then set the pen down.

"Thank you, Nell. I thought I might just bring them over to her now? At the store?"

[mylandmyrules]

"I think that sounds wonderful, Stark," Nell said with a smile as she finished putting the bouquet together. "Or we could have them delivered there if you wanted to surprise her. Either way, I think she's going to really like them."

[stykera]

"I think my being at the store will surprise her," Stark said. "I have to get back to the clinic but I thought this would be fun. Just something different. And nice. I'm sure she'll like these."

And probably the panda wouldn't try to steal them.

"She'll love them," Nell assured him. "Thanks for stopping by, Stark. Please come by again, even if you just want to say hello."
