Evie
i'll plant a row of daisy seeds
in the space beneath each eye
in the space beneath each eye
Evie laughs at the girl's excitement. "Yes, I do. I always have, since I was a little older than you." It had begun with potted plants in her bedroom, or in the study. Ones she'd tended to as she was taught to conceal her magic appropriately. It had grown out of control since then, and now even her apothecary is practically a greenhouse in its own right. "You have to start small, but I'm sure I can find something for you to take home with you to grow." Something that would be a little hardier, less likely to wither and die beneath an enthusiastic but easily-distracted young girl's thumb.
"Of course we can go flower hunting. My name is Evie, it's nice to meet you." Straightening, she readjusts her bag and automatically drops her hand for Seren to grab if she'd like, a maternal instinct she has always held but rarely used coming to the fore. "Now we won't go too far so that your parents won't worry, okay?" She still feels a little uncomfortable at the idea of making them think she has abducted the poor girl, but hopefully they'll stay within line of sight of the house with how flat the earth is here. "We can go hunting for asters, they're a flower that bloom best when the heat of the sun doesn't burn them, so I'm sure we'll find plenty now that it's Leafchange." And in a fun variety of colors, since the girl hadn't mentioned which one she preferred.

so they'll remind you of your beauty
when they bloom each time you cry
when they bloom each time you cry
