Trying to recall the memory, he supposed she never did say she would sing but he had assumed she would, she definitely should sing he thought her blush only making her blonde hair stand out more. “Is my name Oliver Loughty, of course, I’d love too help out.” He lowered the box so she could get a better view “These are some of my personal favorites except one, I gave that to a really good friend of mine year ago.” He recalled again the memory of Sharah how had his Bonzai Tree and had called it to hope, certainly a touching name. “We can store these overnight and I potted them so they would last some time out of their normal sol depths.” He began to move to the mini arboretum impressed by the facility, “This is some good engineering here.”

Runa nodded, “The engineering teams have been wonderful coming in to help us fix the school rooms. Children thrive and learn so much in nature. So since we don’t have any planet side to go to, I thought I would bring some to them.” She picked up the potted Cattleya Orchid. “This is gorgeous. The colors are so unique. The children will love it, but maybe not as much as me,” She said placing it carefully on a shelf on the only table in the area.

This time it was Oliver’s turn to feel a slight pang of embracement having picked out a plant she clearly liked, swallowing it down he said “Well, If you like it I can have another potted by the end of the week and sent to your quarters. They’re rather abundant in our arboretum since they like the environment we have made for them it wouldn’t be a problem at all.” He looked to her hopeful, though he hoped he didn’t look too hopeful and Rosey checked. He wasn’t good with situations like this, that’s why he never put himself in them.

“That would be lovely, thank you Oliver.” She picked up another of the pots and placed it on the table. “These are beautiful, and each is so unique. The children will love them.” She looked around, “Unfortunately we don’t have anything other than the empty beds yet. I still have to request the soil and probably hundreds of things I never though about.”

Making a mental note to prepare, pot and send her the plant he turned his attention to the next topic at hand and her lack of knowledge. “I can prepare a list of things you will need and instructions, aswell as some references to books I read when I was studying they were brilliant and helped me a lot but mostly being a green thumb is natural” he wiggled his thumb towards her his eyes playful and cheeky.

Runa chuckled and shook her head. “I wouldn’t know. I’ve never tried planting anything, but maybe with luck we’ll find that children have them.” She looked around the room and glanced at the old fashioned clock she had on the wall. “I’m just about done for the day. I’ve got to go check on one of the other classrooms.” She paused, “Do you think we could make a small 4x4 flower bed? I’d love to put one in the pediatric therapy office for my sister, Revna, to use.”

Looking to the clock and then back to her he nodded, “Sure, technically this is my job so I have all the time in the world for you!” Oliver chuckled previously realising how awkward that comment might have come across. “What urgh, set of plants would you like?” He asked, he wasn’t sure what it was about her but Olly’s usually awkwardness around woman wasn’t affecting him, he hoped it stayed that way.

Runa blushed slightly, “Well I’ll take all the time you give me.” Runa liked Oliver’s easy manor, and wanted him to know it. She made sure the plants that Oliver had brought were up high out of the way of the children until they could be planted. “I’m not really sure, something that can withstand a lot of touching. I remember when I was young we had something called ‘Lambs Ear.” It was really soft and put up with a lot of pulling by the children.”

“Stachys byzantina” he said with a knowing smile and nodded, “Hells yeah but we don’t have any growing at the moment however I’m sure we’ll have some stored as seeds in the science department, we can go look now if you want?” It was clear Oliver was enjoying himself, talking about plants with someone who equally was as engaged as him, it got his blood pumping, Most men liked sports or shooting but for Olly he just liked a good Latin named flower, not that he didn’t mind sports either.
