"I bored, Big Brudder! Nobody coming to buy plants, brah!"
Verdant had to agree with the little tyke. Only a few customers had come in today on account of the bad weather. Elst and Aoi had left Verdant in charge for the time being, which wouldn't have been so bad if the nymph and his "little brother" hadn't forgotten to bring something to read.
"I want Emo Monthly, brah..." Orpheus whimpered as he pecked at an apple he'd picked from the fruit trees.
"I want an emo monthly, sweetie..." Verdant lamented as he folded a napkin into a paper crane for the hundredth time. He really would've preferred today to be a little more fun or at least a bit busier. He hated being bored, especially when he could be running around naked in the orchards under the rain... not that he ever did that when it was raining and Elst and Aoi weren't there...

It was raining on and off, not heavy downpours yet but short ten minute drizzles here and there. Enough to keep a lot of people indoors and annoy those who were forced to be out in it.
Kell however was utterly oblivious to the water, the dog splashed through puddles and merely shook off excess water on his coat from time to time as he loped in front of his master.
Eli was less thrilled with the wet weather but his water resistant clothing kept him warm and dry which was ultimately what was important. He'd have gone out regardless though, though he was still skeptical of his cousins assertions that the plants he was looking for would help. If it stood even a small chance of healing his ailing uncle than it was worth the effort to Eli.
With both uncle and cousin busy consulting a local doctor Eli'd been sent to the only greenhouse he knew of to try and find plants that were required for a more holistic cure. Though he knew so far none of the traditional Chicome techniques had helped.
Despite the rain matting exposed fur to it's body Uzi, Once again masquerading as a mere robotic companion, felt almost as if it's were rising as the lionlike proto slipped through the greenhouse door. it could sense another essentic, Uzi was sure of it.

Verdant was just about to die from boredom when he saw the customer getting close to the door. He clapped his hands together three times, Orpheus' cue to act like a plush toy; they'd been working on it for a few days now. The familiar customer opened the door and stepped in, completely drenched and accompanied by a very familiar dog and a very unfamiliar... cat? No, no, it was an Essentic! It had to be!
"Hello, sir! Welcome to Elysian Gardens! How may I be of assistance to you this gloomy afternoon?" Verdant took a good look at the man after hi greeting and smiled. "Oh! I met you at the ball! Orpheus, it's okay; he's an owner as well."
Orpheus flapped his wings a bit and flew over to greet the customers. "Hey, brah! I'm Orpheus and that's my Big Brudder! Who're you brahs?"

Eli's green eyes stared at Verdant for a moment before nodding and grinning, the other had been dragged off at Banning's ball and the.. whatever the hell it was that was his essentic must have come from the spark he'd gotten there. though his troubles weren't out of his mind for the moment the auburn haired man could relax a little and enjoy the luck he'd had to run into another owner here.
" Hey wasn't expecting to see you and um Orpheus" he nodded to the proto. Big brother eh? They seemed to have an interesting bond. " I'm Eli, that's Kell" he pointed to the hound that was currently sniffing up at the essentic " and Uzi" he pointed to the lion like armored proto.
Uzi's eyes flashed a brighter yellow for a moment as the other essentic approached, much like Lauss this one seemed to have hands and be capable of flight as well. " What is your purpose?" the hunter asked the other was it too some sort of mentor?

"Oh, yeah. Well, Elst, my boss, hired me some tiem ago. You know him, don't you? He's an owner too. Oh, and yes, I'm his older brother. At least, that's what he's convinced me of." He smiled as the man introduced himself and his pet, as well as his feline Essentic. "Uzi is a nice name; it's the name of some kind of knife or gun, right?"
Orpheus flew down to the ground and stared up at Uzi. "Porpoise? My porpoise is music, brah. I am a Rhapsodist Magicker. I help Big Brudder play music. Listen, brah." Orpheus spiraled into the air and began singing a sweet little song about butterflies and flowers. It was very cute; Verdant hadn't heard this particular song yet. When the song was done, he flew down back to Uzi and chirped. "What's your propoise, brah?"

Eli nodded " Yes I saw Elst and Aoi at the ball as well" Aoi had been third essentic the man had seen preceded by first Misha and then Ziazan on separate occasions." and yes Uzi is a type of gun" a weird name but appropriate for the combat type. " Though not one I own or use" he admitted.
He listened to Orpheus sing then looked at Verdant again " he's certainly something special" Truly all essentic with their skills gave something unique to their jobs
Uzi didn't understand the point of songs or why one might sing about butterflies and flowers but the sounds the other proto made were pleasant enough." Your voice is nice" there a compliment those were good right ? " I'm a hunter, I help Eli track and kill prey" The was pride in the low rumble of Uzi's voice.

"Hunter Essentic, huh? Then Uzi is a befitting name!" Verdant chuckled and strode into the storage room. He came back out and handed a few towels to Eli; he'd mop up the water later. The nymph smield happily when Eli complimented his little wyvern. "Orpheus certainly does enjoy fulfilling his purpose. I imagine Uzi enjoys tracking and killing prey."
Orpheus whistled merrily at the compliments he was recieving. "Thanks, brahs! Wait, you kill stuff? Do you get to eat it? Big Brudder doesn't like killing stuff unless it a caterpillar."

The auburn haired man nodded again " Honestly I think Uzi'd be happy if we never left the wastelands and just traveled aroudn hunting" Not a possibility for anyone really and especially not for Eli right now. Though he did appreciate her enthusiasm. Using a towel to dry off his hair with one hand he reached into his pocket for the list of plants he needed with the other " do you know if you carry these ?"
" We eat the meat from some of the kills " Uzi confirmed " Why kill a caterpillar it is of no use but also no harm or challenge" It was only an insect after all.
Kell watched the flying essentic with curiosity, the dog's sensitive ears not thrilled with the whistling it was doing.

Verdant reached over and plucked the moist list out of Eli's hand. He read through it and tilted his head to the side. Some of these seemed very familiar, though he'd have to check to make sure. "I'm quite certain these are in stock; Elst grows nearly every and any plant known to mankind. I'll just have to go find them, is all. Any particular reason you need these for? I could help you arrange them for a nice centerpiece, if you'd like."
"Do you eat fox, brah? Big Brudder says fox meat don't taste good, but I dink he's just an aminal lover." Orpheus nodded his head as he said this; he was pretty sure fox meat would taste a lot better than that green stuff the landlady was feeding them...

Eli shook his now damp but not dripping head, he really needed to stop loosing the zip on hood attachment for his coat. "They're for medicinal purposes, I don't think Alize will care how they were arranged." He'd debated adding tulip bulbs to the list for his mother but then remembered she changed colours every so often and he had no idea what colour she wanted next.
" Fox is edible but not the best meat," Uzi was a carnivore and had no problems living off the meat of the things it killed. Though even the golden eyed proto could be picky at times " Better than rodent though" They were barely fit to be fed to the dogs and the essentic didn't even like the dogs. " What do you eat?"

"Oh, okay! Saves me a little trouble then. Come on; I'll show you around while I pick your plants for you." Verdant started walking towards the gardens, stopped, and motioned for everyone to follow him. "The gardens are just through here and are a lovely sight to behold. The herbs he grows are always top-notch, so I can assure you that they'll be able to serve their purpose well."
Orpheus nodded with an understanding air. "Rodent sounds gross, brah. Rats are rodents, right? Yeah, gross!" He'd tried to eat a rat once- that hadn't gone over too well. Orpheus was unable to taste anything but rat for weeks. "I eat lotsa food that Big Brudder makes for me. I eat carrot stew, chocolate cake, mushroom steak, liver and onions, and udder stuff. My favorite food is ambrosia; Big Brudder makes it outta different nectars, brah." That wyvern sure could drink ambrosia; Verdant was lucky he made it without any alcohol in it or Orpheus would be plastered on a daily basis.

Eli followed with a nod, Kell close at his heels, the scent hound rather distracted here in this places of so many scents. Normally there weren't nearly this many plants around for him to smell and many of them the dog had never encountered before. " Good to know," Eli wouldn't be using them himself but he imagined the more potent they were the happier Alize would be. "I imagine it's expensive growing so many different kinds of things" he had no idea what kind of profit this type of place turned.
This one was a talker Uzi thought, not a social and still rather vocal. Tolerable though, at least for now " You eat a lot of things" Uzi's diet was rather small limited to the things it caught and killed for itself, well that and to meat only, the proto was picky and not meant to eat anything else as far as it knew.

"You'd think so, but Elst has never once complained about expenses or anything. I think he propogates all the plants here, making it way cheaper than buying new sproutlings and whatnot." Verdant and the group stopped at a small patch of sage. "Hmm, let's see... you need some black sage, white sage..." Verdant scratched them off the list with his nail as he gently uprooted one small shrub of each sage plant Eli needed. "Orpheus, go find me some pots, will you?"
"I do, don't I, kitty brah?" Orpheus seemed fascinated by the fact that he ate so many things. Uzi must just like eating meat. "Pots? Okay, Big Brudder!" Orpheus whistled a quick tune before flying back into the storage room to look for suitable pots.

Eli himself didn't recognize either of the plants verdant named and had to trust the other knew what he was talking about. On the other hand this was easier than walking around and staring at labels for an hour trying to find stuff and then having it verified afterwords. The redhead noted with interest what while gardening was not the flying proto's purpose he seemed to have no issues doing things involving it like fetching pots and he wondered if the blue skinned essentic dug in the ground with those claws of his? Could essentics multi-task?
" Thanks, my apologies if the list is a little long." A lot of things didn't grow well or often where Alize lived and she'd jumped at the chance to have access to plants that her people had medicinal recipes for but that they came into contact with rarely.
Uzi could not even begin to understand the cheery musical essentic but the combat type found them interesting regardless. Uzi's tail flicked back and forth and the protos eyes glowed dimly as it ignored the humans for the most part and waited for the other to return from it's errand.
