Sure. I'll see you there.

--> action!

[bowtography]

[ March, as promised, will be down there, taking a few quick shots of the plants--though she perks up when she spots him. ]

Winter! Hi!

[icyspicy]

[ The greenhouse is certainly quite green! Winter is a little amazed by all the plants, and the strange automatons tending to them, peering around when he spots her in return. ]

Hello March. Is it appropriate to say "happy birthday"?

[bowtography]

I guess "happy anniversary" might be more accurate, but close enough! I'm still older!

[ She's easy (in this regard). ]

[icyspicy]

Happy anniversary, then. I’d offer you a flower, but I’m frankly not sure what will happen if I touch any of these.

[bowtography]

You think the robots would descend on you and drag you away?

[ Probably a valid concern. ]

[icyspicy]

If the plants themselves don't.

[bowtography]

Let's not risk it. I'll take your good thoughts and you can buy me lunch sometime.

So, which plants are your favorites? Just... vibe-wise!

[icyspicy]

Have you ever seen a passion flower before? They're a bit strange looking but I rather enjoy them.

[bowtography]

I don't think so... what's so strange about them?

[ Educate her, Winter. ]

[icyspicy]

Allow me to show you.

[ He makes a motion with one hand, speaking a soft incantation. In his waiting palm, an illusory flower springs into being. ]

Funny looking thing, isn't it?

[bowtography]

Oh, huh! It's got, like... curls?

[ She is fascinated. ]

... Maybe they have some of them in here? Taking a picture of you by your favorites would be great!

[icyspicy]

We can see what we can find. But I think I’ll look good standing next to anything.

[ Such confidence. ]

[bowtography]

Probably! [ Well, he's not wrong. ]

I'm the same way. Think we should make it a selfie?

[ This is just the hangout of two unnecessarily confident people. ]

[icyspicy]

[ The two of them next to each other is very funny, though. They could not be more opposite if they tried. ]

I would love to make it a selfie.

[ He knows what that is!! It’s very exciting. ]

It’s your photo, so you choose the backdrop.

[bowtography]

Got it! Hold on a sec, I'm gonna take a lap to see if I can find a good spot!

[ She is indeed running off to go scrutinize the flowers. ]

[icyspicy]

[ Oh gods, there she goes. ]

Ah, youth.

[ Said to himself with a chuckle. Anyway, he’s going to head off in the opposite direction to scope things out. Hopefully they can meet in the middle. ]

[bowtography]

[ sure, okay old man--

But sure enough, March will come trotting towards him as he approaches the middle, eyes bright. ]

I found a really good spot! It's got a bunch of different blue and purple flowers that I think would go great with our color schemes!

[icyspicy]

[ Don’t you sass him young lady—

Anyway, he’s glad she seems to have spotted something, since he wasn’t having much luck on his end. ]

Sounds good to me. Lead the way.

[bowtography]

[ She does!

And sure enough, there's an entire section of flowers, ranging from light blue to dark purple. None of the flowers look like anything she's seen before, but that's not too surprising for her. ]

What do you think?

[icyspicy]

[ Winter is no florist, himself, so all of these plants are likewise alien to him. Maybe they’d be alien to him regardless. But they are undoubtedly beautiful, and fit their respective aesthetics well. ]

I think it’s perfect. You’ve a good eye.

[ Stepping over in front of the flowers! He’s going for contrast and positions himself by some of the lighter ones. ]

[bowtography]

[ March hums approvingly and settles herself close enough that she can get the both of them in the shot when she extends her camera up into the air. ]

Ready?

[icyspicy]

[ He has to crouch Quite A Bit to get himself in the frame, tucking his hair behind one pointed ear so it doesn't hang in his face. ]

Ready.

[bowtography]

[ He knows what he's doing and it makes March grin, flashing the camera a cute little hand gesture as she takes the shot.

It is, as expected, two people who look like complete opposites but also totally comfortable. ]

Look at that--! Pretty perfect, if I do say so myself!

[icyspicy]

[ There’s something kind of funny about the two of them side-by-side, even more so in a photo, but they are indeed naturals in front of the camera. ]

We do look quite good. I hope that’s a suitable birthday-versary keepsake.
