Isla
one bright morning goes so easy
Eyes lighting up all over again to see the spray of colour in his hands - Isla's attention has been firmly on Everest's face until this point - the Remedy accepts them with a delighted smile. "These are beautiful," she chimes. "I bet it's quite difficult to keep plants alive at Longnight. I hadn't really considered it until now." But Ever is considering other things, as it happens, and Isla glances between the flowers and her overnight bag before immediately springing into action.
Setting the bag down, a few adjustments allow her to unfasten it enough to slip the flower stems inside, allowing the bouquet to poke out as a jaunty decoration. "How does this look?" she asks, taking up the bag again. "I don't mind carrying this around - it isn't heavy." And now it thoroughly looks the part.
