Todd finished up his gardening shift earlier, and got cleaned up and dressed. He was hoping to run into Neil in the room or in the bar to see about plans. But he couldn't find him anywhere. He debated on getting something to eat, but felt too troubled. Something seemed wrong somehow.

Perhaps a stroll out back would help.

So there's a poet with a jacket on against the chilled night air, watching the moon and stars over ahead as he walked near the woods.

Anne listens, and her eyes shine.

"That's a lovely way of thinking," she says, softly. "You really are a poet."

Todd ducked his head, and his cheeks burned at that, "Thank you."

He added softly, "You should go riding then, so you can see for yourself, too."

"I'd like that," she says, softly.

"I'll be sure to ask Helen about it. When did you ride her?"

"A few weeks ago, I've not had much time since then, between my writing, and I work here now. I help Asar-Suti with his garden."

"Oh, there's a garden?"

Anne's smile flashes, delighted.

"I'd love to see it. Where is it?"

Todd blinked at that, "You like gardening, too?" Strange how much they had in common. He didn't have a chance to be close with his brother, but he never had a sister. Maybe things wouldn't have been so bad at home if he had.

He then said, "It's not far from here, I can show you." He started walking in that direction, and added, "I take care of harvesting the fruits and vegetables there. But I like all aspects of gardening."

"I love gardening," she says as they walk. "There's something very magical about helping a tiny little plant coax it's way out of the ground, and bloom in the sun, isn't there?"

Todd grinned at that, "Yes, especially in knowing what care and attention each type needs to do so. Small miracle every time something blooms."

"It really is," she smiles back. "An everyday sort of miracle."

[ooc: Bed is calling, care to fade here and say he showed her the garden?]

Todd nodded, "Exactly. Spoken like a writer." He smiled a little.

(ooc: Sure thing, I need to get to bed ASAP myself. Funny how well they're getting along. I could see him considering her a surrogate sister before long. *G* Thxs for the RP, good for them to meet. And now I'm regretting I never had a chance to read her books when I was younger.)
