Something had not felt right that morning. The feeling had only increased when Erika had left her room. She associated the feeling with her apprehensions over Giovanni's presence, and paid it no mind at first. The feeling was suppressed until she crossed through the garden. No, something was wrong.

The crash from inside the green house sent her running.

Opening the door, she couldn't bring herself to bring her eyes from the floor. She didn't want to look up. Her fears were enough. The smell of loose potting soil was heavy in the air and shards of terra cotta were strewn near her feet. Erika took a few steps, gingerly reaching out and picking up the first plant that had been uprooted. "I'm sorry," she murmured, raising her gaze to the rest of the green house.

"I'm sorry."

----

… I do not know who was responsible for the events in the green house this morning. I have no idea what your intentions were or if you accomplished them. I cannot begin to express my disappointment in the lack of respect that was shown towards the efforts of your classmates and the life their efforts made bloom.

Your actions are a reflection of your character, and I can only presume you have the same amount of respect for yourself as you do the things you've destroyed. Regardless, it would be my hope that someday you'll be above petty actions and apologize to those whose time and hard work you've wasted. That way I know who you are so I can slip you poison.

…

… I'm salvaging what I can, but there are a good deal that were lost. I… apologize.

[Doooop he shows up. He became baffled at the amount of damage.]

Jeez...

[With only saying that, he went straight into cleaning up some of the yanked out plants. As much of a plant lover he knows Erika is, he can almost imagine how she must be feeling. He has the most serious yet sincere look on his face.]

[natureprincess]

[And there is an Erika with a container for the plants.]

[He'll now round up the plants he gathered.]

I'm gonna go get ya some seeds afterwords, okay?

[natureprincess]

[A small smile.]

That would be lovely. Thank you.

Don't mention it, Miss Erika. It's the least I could do.

[How anyone would do this to a sweet lady was beyond Mac's understanding.]

I'm real sorry this happened. Don't worry, your greenhouse would look good as new in no time.

[natureprincess]

[She frowns, looking sad and frustrated.]

It would be one thing if it actually were my green house, but this was the green house your classmates built. It's just so disrespectful I can hardly stand to think about it.

All the more reason to find out the guy who did it, he shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. It looks like some people are gonna help with this.

[natureprincess]

[She just nods. Sorry Mac, she is not the most talkative at the moment can you tell?]

Not nearly as gay as Whit's tag

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[He understands. Giving an even more sympathetic look, he'll pat her on the shoulder.]

It'll be okay.

Mmmm gay

[natureprincess]

[He'll get a grateful smile.]

It will. I know it will. It'll just take a little time.

Re: Mmmm gay

Maybe.

But looks like a lot of people are helpin'. It may be sooner then ya think.

Re: Mmmm gay

[natureprincess]

It's true. I didn't expect so many helping hands... The longest part just might be waiting for the plants to grow.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I think we can both guarantee that at least we'll get all the hard stuff done and have all of this mess cleaned.

[natureprincess]

That is very true, and I'm incredibly grateful for it.

[He just smiles and nods and gets right back into cleaning.]
