from what i’ve tasted of desire
i hold with those who favor fire


When the wind finally begins to feel like it’s from the South instead of the Arctic, when the ground isn’t a frozen slab of mud, when green bits finally begin to poke their head back into the world… that’s when Lily knows it’s time to work outside more. His Lordship had gardeners that kept the grounds of his estate, and they always seemed to know exactly when it was time to plant something. Too soon, and it would freeze or drown. Too late, and it might not have enough time to grow.

So she guestimates.

Finding a place not too far from her house, Lily takes a handful of sweet pepper seeds that she managed to remember to save from the winter. Humming a little tune to herself (as she is ever wont to do), she digs eight medium-ish holes a couple of feet apart and then looks around for something to mark them with. Some windblown sticks lay not too far away, so she grabs two for each seedling and then ties them together with some scraps of cloth, also scavenged from the former Church’s trappings.

A playful breeze picks up, lifting red locks from her back, splaying them in the wind like some kind of wild banner. A premonition, perhaps, of the red vegetables that will hopefully, eventually, sway from bushes.
