Spines and Spices is the flower shop owned by Lead Sentinel of the voiceless ones, Rhys Lithops. Upon entering, three things are noticed immediately. The first is that a wide variety of plants and gardening accessories decorate the floor and the walls, as well as spices and various confections, like pastries and flower petal candy. Second is the architecture; tile floors, painted bricks, and faded wood shelves in subdued pastels make the flora pop out from the background, as well as provide a calming atmosphere. The third thing you see is the shop owner sitting behind the cash register, or somewhere else in the store. A tall, built, and menacing figure with bright Raspberry colored hair. She's got the temper of a bull and is known for her incredible strength, but don't worry, she doesn't bite. The fragrance of flowers and herbs mix together sweetly. The treats look absolutely tantalizing. It's like a scene from a fairy tale. This is the definition of a picturesque place that you'd want to stay in for hours on end just to relax. Whatever your reason for coming in, you will be welcomed, and Rhy's knowledge of plants and flower will guide you to the perfect house plants, or the perfect gifts for the people you love.

► Rhys lead Mithllo to her car and drove them to her shop. She refrained from saying anything in response to his Black Licorice comment, because her immediate though was "I'd like to acquire your taste," which was something she'd never say. It wasn't a long drive away, but there was still time for idle conversation. "So, I don' think I've ever seen a car that belongs to you around. You walk everywhere?" She asked, genuinely curious. Mithllo didn't really look like the biking type. She supposed there was always public transportation, but he didn't seem like the type to be punctual enough for that. Then again, she really didn't know Mithllo all that well.
Rhys pulled into a parking lot beside a very picturesque building. "What do you think?" She asked, gesturing to the shop. She got out of the car, motioning for Mithllo to follow. She unlocked the doors and walked through, holding them open for him. "You'll be watering in here while I work in the greenhouses," she said, pulling her bangs back and tying them into a bun. "Want me to braid your hair so it doesn't get in the way?" she teased, making another gesture for Mithllo to follow her. All the supplies were in the greenhouses and sheds out back behind the shop.

He answered, smiling still. He was feeling rather comfortable beside Rhys now that he had gotten to know her better.
When they arrived he glanced over the building giving an approving whistle. "Cozy on the outside, probably smells fantastic and looks even better on the inside." He remarked, hopping out and following her inside. The spring in his step remaining. He gave a nod when she gave him his instructions and he chuckled. "Sounds simple enough, even I can do it." He teased.
He blinked when she offered to braid his hair, and he lifted his hand, "No need to braid it. I've got it." He remarked, looking around before picking up some ribbon, he took two of matching length and then proceeded to tie his hair into pigtails.
He gave a little twirl and did a dramatic pose. "How do I look?"

► Rhys raised an eyebrow at Mithllo. "Fly?" she asked. He didn't look like he was hiding any wings. "How?" She asked. Flying wasn't something people normally were able to do. There were a couple possibilities she could think of, but obviously couldn't confirm anything. "If you can use needles as a weapon, you can water a flower," she said. His hands were definitely nimble enough to work a watering can. Rhys watched with confusion as Mithllo took some ribbons that were laying around. He was obviously going to use those to tie up his hair, but why would he need two?
Rhys got her answer. She watched Mithllo tie his hair into two perfect pigtails, accented by the ribbons. She clapped both hands over her mouth, hiding the large smile that was spreading across her face. He looked absolutely ridiculous. Rhys' shoulders shook with an effort not to laugh. One hand went up in indicate she needed a second as she nearly bent in half from trying to subdue her amusement. Despite her best judgement, she tried to answer through her giggles. "You- heheh, -you look- hmhm-" Rhys stopped trying to talk, trying desperately to frown the laughs away. You know what? Mithllo asked for this. She let out a loud, shrill, string of bubbly giggles. It was dangerously close to unpleasant, but Mithllo had wanted to hear it. Honestly, he was too much. "So cute," She cooed, giggling still.

That's how good I am." He remarked beaming with pride. "Do you really want to know how?" He asked, making certain this wasn't just a whim of hers.
He nodded, "Yeah, I know how to use a flower pot no worries." He reassured, before he heard that laughter finally bubble from her, and if he could look any more proud or smug or all of the above, his smile would probably be wider than the room.
"That's an adorable laugh!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands proudly.

► Mithllo made his flight seem like such a spectacle, it was kind of hard not to be genuinely curious. "I do, actually. I'm not sure what to expect," she replied. What kind of secret could he be hiding that allows him to fly? It would also be helpful in filling out a little more background information, but that was a side note. Her main motive was genuine curiosity. She groaned at the flower pot comment, knowing he was doing that on purpose. Then the laugh. "No, no, no," she whined, covering her face, which was bright red from having Mithllo both hear her laugh and complement it. "It's the worst. You're the worst." There was more of what she said, but it got muffled by her hands.
Rhys uncovered her face long enough to get another good look at Mithllo. She shouldn't have done it. The pride he felt for making her laugh was almost too much to handle. It was impossible for anyone to look as pleased as he did right then and there. "Just show me how you fly, damn it," she said, changing the subject.

He pointed out with a grin and playful wiggle of his eyebrows. When she demanded he show her how he fly, he gave another dramatic bow and put a finger to his lips.
"Alright, but watch closely." He instructed, giving a wink before his entire body shifted with a dark light, and in Mithllo's place was a mockingbird. With a chirp he opened his wings and flew up onto Rhys' shoulder, fluttering his wings. Proceeding to chirp sweet nothings into her ear, which really just sounded like a lot of chirping.
Then he flew off her shoulder, flying around the room skillfully without harming any of the flowers, then the dark glow returned and he did a flip landing back in his natural shape with a bow.

► Rhys watched Mithllo as his shape suddenly changed into that of a mockingbird. Having never seen a shapeshifter before, she was speechless, eyes wide and mouth hanging open as bird-Mithllo flew at her, landing gently on her shoulder. It took a lot not to reflexively smack him out of the air and watch him hit the floor. She twisted her neck to watch him, her lips quirking into something like a smile as he chirped in her ear. It was amazing. It was almost too fitting to watch Mithllo show off how skilled and graceful he was in the air.
He landed with a bow and Rhys still couldn't find words to express what she felt. Something like envy and appreciation and wonderment all at once. It really was a spectacle, what he had been hiding. To fill the gap, Rhys took a quick step forward and scooped the trickster up into her arms, lifting him off the ground. "That's incredible," she breathed, twirling the male around. He felt light as a feather in her bug beefy hug. "You're incredible!"There was a brief moment in time where she just held him and looked up at him before letting him go, eyes brimming with excitement. "What else can you do?" She asked eagerly.

Okay so he blushed very lightly as it all registered, the sight of her excitement really did give him quite the ego boost. He smiled and waited until she let him go.
He struck a pose, one like Captain Morgan, and the dark glow returned shifting him to look like Rhys, and his voice mimicked hers. "What can't I do? I'm a Shapeshifter CherryPop. As long as I have an image of the shape I want to take in my mind I can take that shape and mimic it." He explained, taking a bow. The dark glow returned and he was back to normal.

► Rhys had picked up on that blush, and she would tuck that little tidbit under her belt for later. She made Mithllo blush. And odds are, she could do it again. She watched intently to see what he would turn into next, and she was shocked to see a mirror image of herself standing in front of her. Hearing her voice come out of someone else's mouth, or her mouth, or... whatever- it was freaky. Instinctively, Rhys reeled her arm back and sent a vicious punch flying straight toward Mithllo's gut, one that could easily send him flying backwords. "Don't be me!" She yelped. It was impressive, but also a little intimidating. Scratch that, very intimidating. The damage Mithllo could do in her skin was something she didn't want to think about. At all. Hopefully it wouldn't become an issue. "I'll kill you if you ever turn into me again, she threatened."
That all being said, she was still immensely curious. And she didn't have enough time to ask. "Can you turn into stuff? If you're stuff, are you still, like, fleshy inside? How does it work?" The questions flooded out anyway, but were quickly followed up by, "don't answer any of these, I have to get to work. Why would you reveal something this cool when there are things to do?" She said, pointing an accusatory finger at him and scowling. "Tell me on the way," she murmured, turning to go grab what Mithllo would need to work. She motioned for him to follow, slightly offering her hand to him.

He felt the blow to his gut and sure enough he was sent flying, hitting the ground as he had shifted back to normal. He laid there for a moment just staring up at the ceiling as he contemplated his life choices, trying to rub the pain from his stomach. "Aye, Aye. I'll resist the temptation." He reassured with a hand gesture.
He only needed a moment to recover, before he hopped back to his feet. Most of his previous energy gone, changing shapes so frequently was exhausting, the blow to his gut didn't help either. "Taking the shape of an inanimate object makes me uncomfortable. Unlike taking the shape of a living thing." He explained, noticing the offered hand he took it, the smile slowly returning.

► "Good. I know it's hard not being me," Rhys teased. It was nice to get a little conformation that she wouldn't be seeing double any time soon. She could definitely use Mithllo's ability for keeping an eye on things. She would also give him some ice to hold on to later for his gut. A small smile played on Rhys' lips when she felt Mithllo's hand slip into hers. "What about plants?," she asked. They were living things, just completely different from animals in almost every way.
One question that was really rolling around in her head was injuries, but that was such a glum subject that Rhys wasn't really keen on asking about it just yet. They passed through her work room which had a work bench, a sink, shelves lined with wrapping paper, temporary pots, ribbons, planters, and everything else she would need to trim and dress up flowers in order to sell them. The floor was dusted with dirt. Out the back entrance of her store there were four greenhouses, rows of bushes, and other gardens that lined a large fence. She didn't need any animals getting back here and wreaking havoc. Bags of fertilizer, dirt, and plant food were piled high against a tool-shed large tool shed, and underneath an awning was a small wooden table with two chairs. "This is where the magic happens," Rhys said, leading Mithllo over to the shed. She released his hand and pulled out the watering can he'd need. "Over there are the spigots," she said, pointing. "You can also use the sink in the workroom. Don't flood the pots. I'll be out here. If you don't see me, I'm in one of the green houses."

"Plants?" He thought that over, "Probably would be able to, but it'd be difficult." He admitted, it would involve a lot of sitting still but if it was something with vines he could take advantage of it.
He gave her another salute, and walked over to the spigots after taking the watering can, getting right to work without a fuss.Whistling a little tune about monkeys.

► Rhys rolled her eyes and went back into the shed, pulling out a couple spray bottles. Gorgeous. She should smack Mithllo for how cheesy he was. They were filled with a mixture of mostly water and some eco-friendly dish soap. It kept bugs from chewing up the leaves and eating the plants. It required daily application to the top and bottom of each leaf, but it was worth it. Rhys speedily began to tend to the bushes with a practiced precision. With summer coming up, she could not let these hibiscus die. Amidst the soil, Rhys found a small rock. Without much thought about it, she aimed it at Mithllo's a**. She wanted to know if it was tight enough to bounce a dime off of, and without any dimes, this rock was a good alternative.

He had been so focused on his little tune he was whistling and the task he was doing, when he felt the rock, yeah sure it bounced off, but it definitely caught his attention causing a slight wince to come from him. He glanced back, briefly rubbing his rear that probably had a bruise on it now, before bending down to pick up the rock, a dark brow quirked. He looked from the rock to Rhys.
