"Didn't expect to run into anyone out here. Not surprised a lot was already growing." How lucky was she to have a plot like this. He had to grow from scratch practically everything he owned. He gave his wings a little flick in the warm sunlight. "Are you self taught? The gardening I mean. My ma was a huge plant person growing up, mostly learned from her myself." He smiled warmly at the memory. Such a kind soul.

Abby reached out, pulling a few branches out of the way and stepping aside, offering to hold them while he entered the clearing. "She must have been brilliant." She smiled, trying to focus on him being nice. He was a really sweet guy, she wanted to be friends. To show him her well!
"Welcome to the well." The thought of it had her bouncing. Someone was here, standing next to her, able to see her well! Venus this was exciting!

With a grateful nod, the male ducked under the branches to walk into the clearing. "Quite. She's quite the fae..." He started trailing off when he focused on the well. It looked like a normal well, but she seemed quite excited about it.
"Very nice well. Can I make a wish on it?" That's what wells were for after all, wasn't it? Aside from getting water of course.

Abby bounced, literally, thrilled another pae was finally here. "Oh yes, please do! This wishing well is magical~" She grinned, trying not to let on to her not quite so secret secret.
"Story goes, this well is enchanted. A pale pae watches over this well, waiting for those wishing for greater things to come along and drop their treasures to the depths. If your wish is powerful enough, she may grant it~" Was this the first time she'd spoken about it to another pae? One that she wasn't related or married to? With a start, she realized it was. Oooooh, how did the story sound? She was anxious to know!

"Oh? Magical?" He started towards the Well as he listed to the story. It was quite the story. Magical pae who granted wishes from a well. Sounded like something straight from a book. Still, wouldn't that be neat?
He stopped right next to it before turning to grin at Abby. "Do I wish it aloud so this, pale pae can hear? Or do I just think it and she knows?" Now he didn't have really any 'treasures' on him, but he did have his herbs. So he reached into the basket, and pulled out one of the pain relieving snips. It was the most valuable 'treasure' he had on him.

Abby tapped her chin, thinking about it. She had no idea how a real wish would be placed. She could hear the ones left from before she was the caretaker, but there wasn't any from present day... "It's a wish. Wishes don't come true if other pae can hear them." Abby stated, feeling right as she said it. Yes, that surely had to be it.
For a moment she wondered if the herbs he'd pulled out would be enough to trigger it. She hadn't seen any plant matter down there, not in the few times she'd been down there. Maybe plants didn't work? Maybe there just wasn't a strong enough attachment to them from most pae? Would she be able to leave a plant based wish? The one time she'd tried hadn't gone so well...
Abby shook herself out of it, trying to concentrate on Flynn and whatever wish he was about to make. She didn't want to know, not right away, but oh Venus did she want to know so badly!

"Fair enough." He spoke softly before turning back to the Well. How silly this all was. Wells didn't actually fulfill wishes. But she seemed so excited over it. With a boyish grin, he let the herb fall down into the Well.
I wish...to find love. Have a family. After all, isn't that what most pae wanted?
With that he nodded and turned back to Abby. "Well, I suppose there's nothing to do but wait."

Abby grinned, wanting to jump right in. The moment his herbs touched the water a cold shiver ran down her spine. Oh yes, that worked. She fought the urge to jump in after it. She couldn't tell him right then! He was a stranger, and she didn't know if she was supposed to tell pae about her ability or not!
"Might be sooner than you think~" She was still bouncing, the surge of sheer ecstasy that had started coursing through her was showing. Her eyes were wide, her posture tense and laid back at the same time. This was a thrill! Oh Venus, more pae needed to know about her well! "Okay, lunch, right?" The demi was beaming. Mmn, that was good stuff.

She was positively ecstatic about this! Literally bouncing in fact. Maybe he'd make another wish some time if it made her this happy? Flynn nodded while walking back towards her. "Yes! I'm getting hungrier just thinkin about it. And tell ya what. If it comes true I'll come back and tell ya."

Abby tried to bite back the squeal. Not only would he come back, he'd be able to offer feedback! Oh she loved it so much!
"Yes!" Okay, she couldn't contain it. She had to squee! The demi hugged Flynn, wrapping her arms around him and squeezing tight before letting go in a rush to get the offered meal. He was starving, she had to feed him! Not stand there and obsess about the first wish she'd received in such a long period of time.

The hug surprised him, and his body responded before his brain did in returning it. She felt nice.
Maybe she was warming up to him? "Alright ma'am, consider it done!" With that, his stomach rumbled. He really was hungry.

Abby grinned, grabbing the stashed basket she'd used to bring a meal in. Inside was an assortment of meats, bread, and a couple of candied fruits left from the winter stores. Nothing sweet would be out until the plants started bearing their fruits.
But first, the soft blanket her mother had given her for picnics just like this. Since Nicky was off doing her own thing with that dark pae... Abby had to shake her head, clear the thought. Her children were happy. That was the important thing. With a flourish, she laid out the blanket, and daintily set the basket in the middle.
"Can I offer you a seat Flynn?" The demi asked, erasing any dark thoughts, returning to the enjoyment of the remains of the rush his wish had given her. Venus that was a lovely feeling.

The fae waited patiently as Abby bustled about, grabbing the basket and blanket. In the meantime, he admired the scenery. It really was a beautiful area. Her own slice of paradise. He could see himself coming back and spending more lazy afternoons here...
Flynn was roused from his thoughts as she spoke again. "Thank ya kindly Abhisneha." With that, he sat down onto the soft blanket. "So, tell me 'bout yourself. What do you do when you're not having picnics or tending plants?"

Abby smiled, trying hard not to think about her precious daughter being with that angel. Flynn was asking about her, and it was only polite to respond. Wasn't it? "I'm a gardener. This is my only skill." She flushed, settling in across from him.
"I did guide my daughter everywhere, until she left home, and my son does... Well whatever it is he does." She frowned a little. What was it Venti did with his days? Or Aiolos for that matter? Did she completely loose herself to tending the gardening that she ignored her family? Maybe that was why Nicky ran off with Baliel, because she was a horrible mother... "Right now, I tend to these plants." Firm, she knew what she was good at, and it most certainly wasn't archery. "What about you Flynn? What do you do when you're not searching for medicinal herbs?" The demi turned it around, wondering.

He frowned lightly when she stated gardening was her only skill. What kind of thought was that to have about yourself? To only be good at one thing?
The 'daughter' and 'son' however got his attention. She had kids. But she was gorgeous! Was a father around the corner?
If there was a father still in the picture however, he doubted she'd be sitting on a blanket, sharing a meal with a pae who had obviously shown interest in her. "I'm sure you are much more than just a gardener." The fae took out a piece of bread to thoughtfully chew as he considered her question. "'Side from growing the herbs, gathering them and trading them in various villages? Well I like long walks on the beach and dancing in the rain." Flynn spoke with a wide grin. "But really, I like tending my animals. I have some livestock, raise my own food. That keeps me busy most days. I also like to whittle. Pretty good if I do say so myself!" Dementia Requiem Asumi That darn Angel. Such a bad influence! XD
