8th Meal Served [Action]

[yuzuru_no_mai]

[There's a bit of commotion on Taylor Road. Iroha's been working in the garden, doing just about everything in her power to landscape properly. Now the front yard is starting to look like a proper yard, complete with bushes, flower beds, and trimmed trees.

Don't be surprised if you see her running to the backyard, where she's planning to put in a vegetable garden]

"Iroha! Hi!"

[Of course Hachibe is there to creep on her see what she's up to.]

"Need any help?"

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She looks up and waves*

Hachibe-san! I'm almost done with the front, but could you carry this bag to the curb, please?

*Iroha points to a large bag full of clippings*

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

"Anything for you!"

[And like the loyal puppy dog he is around her, Hachibe bounces on over to the bag, happily carrying it out to the curb without complaint.]

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

You're so sweet, Hachibe-san. Thank you.

*Have a smile and a bow, Hachibe. ;D*

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

[Hachibe totally loves it when Iroha bows.]

"So, is there anything else I can help out with?"

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Not at the moment. *Then it hits her...*

Ah, I should go clean up. Would you like a glass of water or lemonade while I'm inside?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

I can help you with the cleaning too if you want!

-Someone's showing up dressed all nice and smellin' fresh. And looking incredibly nervous.-

*Iroha's pruning a brand new rose bush when she notices the well-dressed man. At first, she blinks, not recognizing him. Then it slowly dawns on her...*

Ron?

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Erm... Hello, Iroha. Lovely flowers.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Why are you dressed up? Are you going somewhere nice?

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Well, yes! Yes I am! And...

I was wondering if you would like to go with me?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*It takes a while for that question to process... but when it does*

Wh-what? Do you mean it, Ron?

*She's totally blushing right now*

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Oh...! You look like you've been pretty busy!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Shiki!

I decided to try a little change in scenery. I'm usually not very good with plants, but they seem to be thriving.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

You say that but...I don't know. Your work seems to tell a different story.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

You think so? How does it look?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[He gives it all a once over.]

It looks like something a professional would do.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

That's... I cannot be that good, Shiki.

Really?

[ex_seventh238]

[Passing by the street is a neighbor who happens to live on the same street. She's on her way home actually, and sees the black-haired girl working diligently on her garden.]

Oh, that's quite a bit of work. Are you okay, miss?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Hm?

*She looks up and sees the other girl*

I am all right. Just a bit tired is all.

[ex_seventh238]

That would be expected, with how hard you were focused. Are you fixing up your garden? [Somewhat of an obvious question, she realizes, but she wanted to make sure.]

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Yes. Once I am done up here, I plan to work on the backyard. But that might have to wait until later.

[ex_seventh238]

[She nods, but can't help but feel concerned.] That sounds good, but I'm still a bit worried. Admittedly it's still fall now and I don't know what winter is like here, but depending on what you're planting, do you think that it'll be okay, even if it may start snowing in a couple of months?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I have thought about that a little. Theses flowers and plants should be okay for most of the year. But you are right about the vegetable garden. I should wait until the end of winter for that.
