The Gardens
The gardens that surround the Fa'e HQ seems subtly different from the springlike glory that once pressed against the building on every side. Now the plants here seem enslaved to the seasons, as they should be, and utterly mundane.
Since it is winter, snow covers the ground, but here and there in the shade of a tree or bush there are crocuses and snowdrops poking out of the soil. Right now, the garden seems both sleeping and sparse - even when spring comes, this garden will be nowhere near as lush as it once seemed to be. Hm.
