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]

[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?

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.

[ex_seventh238]

Oh, that's good then! I'm glad to hear that. I'd take up gardening myself, but I'm a bit busy this semester. There isn't much to do if I head back home now though, so would you like any help?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I am almost finished, but I appreciate the offer.

Perhaps once winter ends, I could use some help with the backyard.

[ex_seventh238]

That's fine! I do admit that I've never tried planting anything myself, but I can definitely do some heavy lifting and help you knock up a fence. I live very close by too, right down the street at 1127, so feel free to let me know anytime!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

That's very close! I will definitely call if I need help.

[ex_seventh238]

It's settled, then! My name is Ciel, by the way. What's yours, miss?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I am Iroha. A pleasure, Ciel-san.

*She bows to her neighbor*

[ex_seventh238]

[Japanese too? Nice to confirm!]

It's very nice to meet you too, Iroha-san! If you're sure that you're alright, then I won't take up any more of your time. Like I've said though, if you would need help with anything, please don't be shy to come over and let me know!
