[Vash felt pretty crummy this morning when he woke up and realized he had once again fallen in love with another girl. Every year! How does he fall for it every year!? Oh man, he just knows Meryl is going to yell at him big time for this. Maybe he should just get it all out of the way, but man, she's sleeping in really late today.

He taps gently on her room door and peeks his head in.] Meryl? Are you up? Listen I- [Empty. Her room is completely empty. It couldn't really be empty could it? After spending almost a week in love and kissing the wrong person, she couldn't really be gone. Could she?

But the room is still empty. Quietly he'll find the Milly, Wolfwood, and Amelia if they're home to let them know before making a voice announcement.]

[Voice]

For anyone that knew her, I'm sorry. Meryl was sent back home. It's alright, she was in a very safe place there.

[Vash will be visiting Good Spirits shortly after. Wanting to let the workers there know of her return home in case they missed his message. Anyone who wants to find Vash can find him there, at the flower shop, or at home, but not the bakery today.]

I like looking at the different varieties. I've never seen so many plants collected together inside like this before.

You haven't? Actually, before I came to Luceti. I haven't seen this many flowers before in my life! [He looks the kid over, unable to not feel somewhat familiar with this child.] My name's Vash. What's yours?

Really? Oh, my name is Raine. And... I've seen them a lot before, in forests or gardens, just not in a place like this.

YOUR NAME IS RAINE!?

Y-yes, it is. [She's getting used to this reaction, but it doesn't make her feel any less uncomfortable.] ... I knew I should have tried calling myself something else...

No, no, no! That's alright! I think that it's a very pretty name is all! A very nice and GOOD name! A good friend of mine has the same name! It suits you I think!

Well... okay. [She'll relax. Just a little.]

Do you come here often, Mr. Vash? I thought I might have seen you around before...

I try to come visit the flowers at least once a day, sometimes more.

Do you take care of them? There are so many plants here.

I help take care of them, along with a few other people around here. You can help too if you'd like.

Really? If it's allowed, I wouldn't mind. I'd like to study some of them...

Sure it's allowed! As long as you love and care for them you're more than welcome to help out!

That sounds just wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Vash!

You're very welcome! Do you know anything about taking care of flowers?

Well... I haven't had much experience with them firsthand, except when I've helped out in a garden or two, but I've studied a lot of books about them.

Well, you can have lots of experience now! Do you have a favorite flower? We might have it here!

I don't really have a favorite, since all of them have a uniqueness to them...! But I think lillies are very nice to look at.

Oh, well we have lots of lilies if you want to start with those!

Really? I'd love to see them, then.

Yeah! They're around this way. Follow me!

[She nods and will follow after him enthusiastically, continuing to look at the other surrounding plants as well. She stops when she notices some smaller plants that don't seem to be doing as well.]

Oh, these plants over here don't seem as healthy as the others...

Oh, you're right. We should take care of these first. [Vash takes off the glove on his right hand so he can feel the soil a little better. There's a large scar on the back of that hand if she wanted to comment on that.]

The soil is a little dry. Maybe we could give them a little fertilizer and some water. What do you think?

[The scar catches her attention, and her eyes widen a little at it, but she's too polite to draw attention to it, instead focusing on what he said instead.]

-- Oh? Y-yes, I've heard that just a little water can help perk plants right back up, as long as it isn't too late.

I think they'll be alright. They were pretty healthy just the other day. Why don't you go get a watering can? They're right over there and you can fill them at that hose nearby it! [Vash goes ahead and puts his glove back on as he points out where she can find the can.]

[And she scampers off quickly toward the can and looks for the hose in question. She's hesitant with it at first -- not wanting it to start praying wildly, but it seems to be in reasonable enough working condition that she can get a reasonable amount of water in the watering can without worry of too much splashing. She's then certain to lift it up with both hands as she makes her way back over.]

Here we go, then. How do you judge what is just right for them...?
