accidental video/open action

[hatesthefood]

The Koneko might be closed, but there's lights on in the workroom of the shop. Just off screen, a low voice hums off key, soft scraping noises and the low whine of a dog marring the offset tune. Off to the side of the table lay several colorful flowers; purple hyacinth and amaranth, plus a single red carnation tossed on top of the pile along with some assorted greenery. Every now and again, a hand moved into sight and deftly snatches up a stem here and there, shifting through the stems to find the right one.

Why wouldn't you think so?

'Cause I'm not good at fancy stuff. Just ordinary plain old stuff.

You don't have to be good at fancy stuff. Trust me, I'm not and if you think this is fancy, you should see what Aya can do with flowers. He's amazing.

Sometimes I look in windows of flower places and they're all just so nice...

I just look at mine growing.

A lot of arrangements come from the heart, you know.

Re: voice

I don't... I wouldn't want to wreck the flowers, you know? They're too pretty.

Re: voice

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Maybe so, but how else does a person learn? You have to make mistakes.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I guess.

Doesn't seem fair to the poor flowers, though.

But maybe if you take them home anyway and tell 'em you're sorry.

Re: voice

There are books on it, too.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I'm good with books!

Re: voice

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I figured, since you work at the library.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Well, or at least that I like them, if I work there!

Re: voice

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I think it takes a special touch to work there. Every time I go in there, it either eats my hat or hides the books I want to look at.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh! Ask for me next time.

It likes me and it will give me whatever you need.

Re: voice

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate the help. I don't have a lot of hats left.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'm most always here.

Re: voice

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to remember that.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Good.

And maybe... maybe sometime, if I help you at the Library, maybe you'd help me do that with flowers?

Re: voice

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'll be happy to.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. I think I'd like that.
