2nd Flower |☼| ACTION

For anyone who would visit the flower shop today, there was a very special visitor. It's a little hard to believe it would have taken him so long to find the place, but now that he's discovered it, he really doesn't want to leave.

... this is quite literal by and by, he is going to make it a point to stay at the shop all day, right up until he has to be kicked out at closing.

However for most of the day he will be admiring the flowers with a certain amount of tenderness that can only come from having flowers be one of his most favorite things in the entire world. This is especially so for the smaller blossoms. Not that he ever learned how to take care of them, he's perfectly content to be in their presence.

Of course if your character isn't florally inclined Senri will also be spending time at the mural, and at some point he'll have to eat something. Most likely at the bakery (or more recently he might stop by 7th heaven, considering he remembers that nice mr.Sanji who gave him some food ...and he requires actual nourishment.)

((OOC: tags tomorrow! I just wanted to throw this up now~ action tags are welcome, the post itself is just in prose because otherwise the whole thing would be in tiny eye-hurting brackets))

[but Vaaaash it was just one little flower he's not uprooting the whole thiiiiiing. But he'll stop regardless of that, because he's a good kid and doesn't like doing bad things and being scolded for it.]

It's alright. It's just that if you pick it, it will die, then it can never grow up. You'll never know just how beautiful a flower could become if you pick it.

[He get's it, he really does. He sacrificed remembering a village that took care of him and he protected so their flower field would grow back. Not that he remembers any of this, naturally. However the sentiment hasn't changed. Taking out his book, flipping through until there's a blank page, Vash might notice that it's filled with pressed flowers as he flips through. Looking back and forth at the geranium and the page.]

Just one.

[Pointing to one of the blossoms that was looking a little past it's prime. He promises not to kill the poor plant he just wants to remember his new friend.]

[Vash thinks on that. Taking that bud wasn't going to kill the flower and that bud would be dead in a matter of days. He hesitates, still not liking the idea of condoning this, but you did ask so nicely. The flower would also in a way live forever pressed in the book.]

I suppose that one bud will be alright.

[Don't worry, he's gentle enough to pick it without disturbing the other buds. And this makes him absolutely ecstatic as he promptly shuts the book.]

Red geranium.

[Is going to be Vash's new name until he's corrected otherwise.]

Heh, sure you don't need to write that down anywhere?

[Shaking his head no. This flower was more then enough to remember (and even if it wasn't he doesn't know how to read or write.)]

Alright then. Do you have any other flowers you want to see? Or would you like to help water them?

[While seeing more flowers would be wonderful, the prospect of learning how to water flowers makes his eyes light up. He's never taken care of flowers before, but would love to learn how. Though, if Vash wants him to verbally answer one way or the other he'll need to prod him a little more to get an answer.]

[That's enough, Vash knows that look.] Alright, do you see that can over there? Go grab it and I'll show you were there's a sink you can fill it up at.

[He'll go fetch the watering can, expectantly waiting for further instruction when he returns.]

[Vash leads Senri towards a sink and turns the water on. Now, you don't want the water too hot or cold, otherwise it could shock the plants.

Go ahead and fill that watering can up. Not too heavy, you want to be able to lift it and carry it.

[Well, Senri was more then capable of carrying a full watering can, but that wouldn't stop it from sloshing water everywhere from the slightest movement when it was getting to be super filled. Whoops.]

[Vash laughs, more amused than upset. He can appreciate the enthusiasm.] C-careful! That's going to make a mess being that full!

[Okay Senri will..... very carefully pour some of the excess water down the sink's drain until the can has just enough water not to make terrible messes. At least he seems to be getting the hang of properly filling and holding the watering can. Thankfully he's a quick learner when it comes to practical things like this.]

Alright, let's see. These flowers over here still need some watering!

Now, go ahead and pour the water on the dirt, but do it slowly. They can get sick if you give them too much water. You really just need to wet the dirt with these.

[Had Vash not warned him that too much would make the flowers sick, without a doubt he would have haphazardly over watered them. However he is taking his time, slowly watering the plants in tiny spurts, afterwards touching the soil to check.]

There! That looks great! That's all there is too it.

[Vash your praise makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.]

All these flowers here need to be watered if you want to keep going!

[He'll walk over to some flowers that havn't been watered yet. That counts as a yes, right?]

[Vash gives an encouraging nod, watching over what he's doing. When the can is empty he points over to a bag.]

Now, would you like to give some of these flowers some fertilizer too?

[Golly gee Mr.Vash would he ever! Even if he had no idea there was more to caring for flowers then water or sunlight... but nevertheless he'll walk over to the fertilizer bag and grab it as a yes.]

Okay! Bring that bag over here! [Vash will hand Senri a small scoop.] So you want to just give these flowers here a little bit of fertilizer. It had nutrients in it that will help them grow.

[And Senri will take the scoop, and is careful enough not to scoop so much it's overflowing. He and his body are staring to get into the flow of the activity now.

...though, despite being a handy and capable person when it comes to handy work, that doesn't quite trump the fact that he's never put fertilizer on flowers before.

And so, unless he's told otherwise, Senri will kindly dump the plant food onto the soil as if he were shoveling dirt.]
