It had been a long first week of school for the tiny Fey. Some things came easy to her, like feeling comfortable giving answers in class. Others were more of a challenge... Like written tests. She gave a tiny sigh, and plopped herself onto a foamy mat at the edge of the well tended garden. Her caretaker had suggested she participate in the dorm arranged activity of the day - gardening.
Not stopping to consider if this advise was simply being given to her because she was a Fey, she readily agreed. It could be a good chance to make a new friend! Plus her caretaker had assured her she'd be good at this.
Niamh had received a small tray of herbs, and it was her job to find a good spot for them, based on what care their tags said they needed. She'd settled herself down in front of a large flowering bush, almost dripping in purple blooms. She was slightly disappointed that the blossoms lacked much a scent. ... That was okay, it was pretty anyhow.
It bothered her that she didn't know the name of the purple flowers. But she was slightly proud that she knew why they didn't need to have a nice scent. They were a bright enough colour that they'd draw insects to them anyhow. Aimlessly she dug a little hole with her spade infront of the flowering bush. Surely, one of her herbs would enjoy these conditions, now just to pick which one...

Vega wasn't really sure why he was sitting out here. He didn't really want to get dirty and dig and plant things. It wasn't his cup of tea. So the red kirin was sitting in the shade of a large flowering bush. He didn't know why he agreed to this, he really wanted to just draw, so that was what he was doing. There was a little beetle walking across his paper, and Vega was trying to draw it, his crayons sitting beside him. "Hold still. You make it really hard to draw when you keep moving around." He said to the bug.

Niamh fingered the tags on the pots. Thyme. That was what she was going to put in the hole she'd dug. It could survive living nearly flowering bush, according to its tag. As she tipped the pot over, she heard the voice. Surprised, the little Fey dropped the pot, tumbling the plant to the ground. She gasped. Quickly she scooped it up, touching one of the branched, now bent.
"Oh, I'm sorry, little plant. But don't worry, I'll fix you." She touched her finger to the plant, and concentrated, squeezing her eyes shut. She felt a faint tingle where her finger was touching the bent thyme branch. She opened one eye and grinned. The little plant looked as good as new. She popped the herb into it's hole, and patted the soil back around it. After one final check on the plant, she popped to her feet, and peered over the bush, to see a Kirin on the other side.
"Hey, you sort of scared me! I even dropped my plant. But don't worry. It's okay now. I fixed it!" She grinned, and took a closer look at her companion. "Who were you talking to? I don't see anyone else? Oh, and I'm Niamh!"

Ellanoire Gaia didn't tell me you replied! evil Vega looked up over his shoulder, head craned back to look at the new person. "Oh." Was all he said at first, before looking back to his paper. "Aw..." He sighed and put the paper aside. There was part of a drawing there, and it looked sort of like a bug. "I was drawing a little beetle that landed on my paper. But it kept moving and made it hard to draw. I guess it flew away now." He brushed his hands over his shorts before looking back over his shoulder at the fey. "I'm sorry you dropped your plant. But I'm really glad it's ok now! So you're gardening with everyone else?" He gave the new companion a smile. "I don't like to get dirty, but I'm enjoying the warm and the shade. I'm Vega. It's nice to meet you. What kind of plants do you have?"

The tiny Fey nodded and grinned. "My caretaker thought this would be a good group activity for me to join in, so here I am!" Absently she brushed some garden dirt off of her knees. She glanced at the Kirin's page, and smiled even wider. "It looks like you're really good at drawing. That's so neat! Too bad the bug flew off... Maybe a new one will come back?"
"I got the herb to plant. It's nice, they all smell really good! Would you like to smell one?" Without really waiting for a response, she darted back around the bush, and grabbed a small potted savory. She held it to her chest, and cocked her head. Vega had said he didn't like the dirt, so she didn't just want to shove the plant at him. This was great restrain as far as Niamh was concerned.
