Fifth Seed; [Voice]

Um. Hullo.

Since the weather's started to change, I find it necessary to ask about what's normally done to care for the plantlife here in colder seasons? I've noticed a handful of gardens around the village -- is there a spell to seal the temperature around them? I've been growing a few things that I'd rather not lose...

If not, then this place could probably use a greenhouse before the ground gets too cold to sustain anything.

And, um. I guess that's all. Thanks.

You're a gardener too?

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

It's something of a hobby of mine. [You know, the kind of obsessive hobby that's Better Than Air.]

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

That's really neat! I kept a garden back home!

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

Really? [Well that pings his nerddom~]

What did you grow in yours?

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

Flowers! Lots and lots of different kinds of flowers. What about you?

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

Oh, I tend to grow things from my homeworld... I don't think you'd be familiar. But flowering genuses do have their particular uses too.

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

Of course they do! The Mistress has to have a luxurious courtyard after all!

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

The... mistress? What kind of mistress do you have?

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

A kind one!

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

So you're a servant on your homeworld? What's that like? [And does Hermione need to start an association to save you from your slavery? D:]

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

I'm not a servant! I'm a gatekeeper!

*Don't worry Hermione, Meiling chooses this life and she loves it.*

So you're more of a guard, then? What is it that you defend against?

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

The Mistress is a private person, so I suppose it's just anyone she hasn't invited over.

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense. Is it something you like to do?

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

I love doing it! I can't see myself doing anything else!

Well other than gardening that is.

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

I reckon it makes sense, then. At least you get to be out in the sun all day while you do your guarding, right?

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

Yep! I love the sunshine, it's one of the perks of the job!

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

[My, but her enthusiasm is infectious.] Then I'll definitely get back in touch with you when we're ready to set up something for everyone to use! What did you say your name was again?

*She's good at making other people excited.*

The one and only Hong Meiling!
