Oingo: -stumbles and catches himself, managing not to fall-

Floridian: Careful! Don't hurt yourself now! *Just about appears out of the woodwork, dropping a grass woven basket that was full of strange flowers and roots.* You ok? *moves towards Oingo, looking him over*

Oingo: -straightens up a little and looks at the pretty mare- As fine as I'll ever be m'dear! -looks around- Where did you come from just now?

Floridian: Finishes looking the very strange stallion over, making doubly sure that he was alright before stepping back.* Over there. I was gathering flowers and roots. I have to keep stocking up so that I can see what scents are good for aroma therapy. *Lowers her head a little as she speaks, thinking its kind of a silly thing to be doing.* What about you? Oh, my name's Floridian.

Oingo: I guess I didn't see you, too busy being launched through the air and trying to stick the landing. -gives a lighthearted laugh at his little joke that only he probably thinks is even a little funny- I'm not doing much, just on my way to celebrate at the next cemetery. Aroma therapy? -tilts his head a bit, noticing how she lowered her head when she mentioned it- Oh, my name's Oingo. Nice to meet you.

Floridian: I tend to blend into the flowers and greenery too well. *She smiled before looking at him a little confused as he laughed at his own joke. Was it really a joke? She was not overly sure about that. Then again, she didn't laugh that much.* Yes, its my way of healing. Though I can't really heal those on a physical level, the aroma of flowers and other scented plants heal the soul and calm the mind. *She nodded, eyes closing.* Cemetery? Why in the world would you want to go to places like that? Shouldn't those who have done all they can in this life rest in the next?

Oingo: That's very interesting, and I can imagine very helpful. I wasn't aware plants could do that, but I suppose it does make sense. -sighs mentally, about to say something he knows is the complete opposite belief of everyone else he has ever met- That depends on the deceased now doesn't it? My view is this. We spend our time here, plagued by life and constantly fighting to keep alive. I want to celebrate the lives of those that have passed and, and I don't believe death is the last step of the journey. I'm not from here, I fell from up there. Or, did I die? no way to tell. What if death here is birth or emergence in another place? Well, then they need a send off celebration and be wished luck and good fortune in the next step. That's what I do.

Floridian: *Tilts her head to one side as she listens to Oingo talk of celebrating the dead and giving them a send off. Well that sounded all well and good, but it was true that they had different views on it.* My Lady believe that our bodies return to the earth and our souls return to the starscape to be reborn as the gods deem fit. So I suppose giving them a send off ain't all that bad... *She looked towards her discarded basket and the items within that were somewhat scattered upon its falling.* Some of those that come to me are looking for their souls to be cleansed before passing. I don't know why, I want to heal, not kill them. *Sighs* Perhaps that is my path, to see to those on their way.

Oingo: -smiles a little- Our beliefs aren't so different. This isn't the body I had before I came to this place. I have no doubt that most of the time our bodies return to the earth. -is somewhat surprised by her statement if he interpreted it correctly- Do you think that cleansing their souls kills them?

Floridian: It doesn't help that those I do try and help, end up dying when my back is turned. What else is there for me to think? *Looks at the stallion with this look of grief.* I know not of what I was before my fall. I only know of my Lady and her pack. I suppose that I too could have been something different. *Give a shrug walking over to her basket and starts picking thinks up and placing them back inside.*

Oingo: Well I hardly think that you can blame their deaths on your aroma therapy. Didn't you say they come to you to cleanse them before they pass? -helps Floridian gather up the plants again and puts them in the basket- Think of it differently. You bring them peace of mind and take away the pain and torment that may be resting on their souls, lightening their spiritual burden and putting them at ease before they go. You're the last thing they see before they close their eyes on this plane and those plants the last thing they smell. I can't imagine a better way to pass, surrounded by pretty flowers and smells and being tended to by a pretty mare. -smiles at Floridian, trying to cheer her up-
