  ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Alexander looked up at her and smiled. "Well you're welcome then." He said, sitting up and closing the book. "You were interested in my knowledge of plants." He said, going to one of his many shelves and reaching on top of it. What he brought down was an extremely old and cracked leatherbound book, much larger than the other one. Unlike the first, this one was obviously hand stitched and the pages were yellowed. "It helps to keep a journal of the plants you learn about." He laid the book on the counter and opened it, the pages crackling. Inside there were drawings and sketches with elegant handwriting, though it was all in a different language. "I have one in English around here somewhere." He said, looking back at his shelves.╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Alexander stepped away to look. "It's pretty old...I've had it since I was young, I think you can tell if you look through it..." He said, finally reaching atop a different shelf and bringing down a similar but newer book that he blew the dust off of. He set it next to the other and opened it. "Here's the one done in English." He said cheerfully. The drawings in the beginning were a little clearer and set in practical places among the text.╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Alexander laughed lightly. "This one is more recent, I only started copying the old one out about year ago." He said. He ran his hand over the old one just as she had. "You can flip through it if you like, I've taken good care of it over the years." He said.╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Alexander laughed lightly. "Perhaps in due time, love." He said, tousling her hair. "But for now I think it wise for me to keep most of them to myself." He said, flipping through his old book. He stopped at a page displaying different variations of roses. "Here, this is my birth flower." He said off-handedly. ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

She finally let herself fall back on her heels as she turned back to the book with a sigh. "You know, it'd be a whole lot more romantic if I could reach your hair, too," she said with a smirk, looking at the roses on the page before turning the page.━━━━━━━━ × ━ × ━ × ━━━━━━━━ Who am I with ? -- Alexander

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Alexander grinned as he watched her try to muss up his hair, finally succeeding though only just. When she was finished he ran his hand through it to get it out of his face and leaned on the counter, watching her as she looked at the book. "Romantic, eh?" He said, keeping his voice light and matching of the mood, though inwardly his heart sang and his mind raced to bring forth old memories at the mention of the word, though he pushed them away for now. Oh my dear, you know not how I yearn for our romance. he thought, though he grinned. "Are you aiming for a romantic atmosphere because of the rose or because I am technically your boss?" He asked teasingly.

"Otherwise your face might just stay that color, and we wouldn't want that, would we?"

"And as it turns out, my flower germinates quite quickly, so the seedlings need to be re-potted." he said, walking over to the enormous blue plant in the shady spot of the greenhouse. At the moment it was dormant, it's petals all closed. Around it were tiny stems with one or two blue leaves on them.╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
