[maellum]

It's just true.

I think I would choose green. And maybe we should keep flowers around.

[cache_coeur]

We do have a balcony. We could grow a little, too. If we planted irises in the next few weeks, they’d bloom in the spring.

[maellum]

I don't know anything about growing things... could you show me?

[cache_coeur]

Of course. What else would you want to grow? There’s lots we could pack in before it gets cold.

[maellum]

Can I just name colors?

[cache_coeur]

Sure. I can think of something to match.

[maellum]

I like purple. We should have yellow, too.

[cache_coeur]

Irises would add some purple. Or lavender, or campanula. Daffodils for yellow.

[maellum]

We can have our very own Hanging Garden, no?

[cache_coeur]

We could. I wonder if we could just build one on the roof. Then everyone could enjoy it.

[maellum]

Why not? People do go up there often enough.

Gustave would help, I'm sure.

[cache_coeur]

If it wasn’t built for it, it might damage the building. Gustave could figure out drainage in a heartbeat, I’m sure, but who knows if he wants to return to his aquafarming days.

[maellum]

[Oh. Right. Drainage... see, this is why Sciel would be the lead on this project.]

Are you saying you think he'd say no?

[cache_coeur]

No, just that he’s Gustave. It would be alright if he wanted to do something new, instead of reinventing what’s already been done.

[maellum]

I think his feelings might be hurt if we didn't at least ask if he wanted to be involved. At least a little.

[cache_coeur]

Don’t worry, we’re going to ask. He’ll probably say yes.

[He loves the gardens so much, after all, perhaps more than any of them.]

But he wouldn’t be Gustave if he didn’t have a hundred projects on the go :) We may need to rope in Lune to keep him focused.

[maellum]

I've been wondering how long it will take for his work area to turn into a work room.

Only if Lune agrees. That's hard work.

[cache_coeur]

A few months, if we’re lucky. But whenever he takes on his own bedroom, he can clutter it up however he likes.

[maellum]

[Why did you have to say it like that, Sciel! Maelle feels the embarrassment slam into her like a wave.]

Just as long as there's a path in to remind him to eat.

[cache_coeur]

[Sorry about it, kiddo.]

Doable, I’m sure. Otherwise the floor will give in!

[maellum]

Hope no one lives below us.

So, what's first? Patio, painting, or garden?

[And she will document it all with her CAMERA!]

[cache_coeur]

Let’s do the painting! I’ll figure out what flowers we can even find here in the meantime. You ask Lune what colour she wants and we’ll do hers after.

[maellum]

Your idea, of course.

[cache_coeur]

Ours, Maelle!

[maellum]

Ours if she likes the idea!
