Oh! But there was already someone else in the greenhouses. "Good morning to you." Astara said cheerfully, as she made her way to a few of the more 'shrub-like' plants and fitted herself with a work apron that had a couple nice deep pockets.
She began to check the dampness of the soil gently with her hands, just a fingertip would do. "Lovely day to be able to spend outdoors." At least partly, anyway. "Much better than staring at the sides of a cubicle."
Astara smiled slightly, before she realized something. And that was the fact that she had not properly introduced herself. "I'm terribly sorry." Astara stopped her soil checking for the moment and brushed off her hands on her work apron. "I'm Astara. Astara Hornebolt. I'm new to the department." She walked over to her fellow employee and extended her right hand in greeting. He wasn't a very jumpy person, but Griffin had been in his own head and in his thoughts when someone had come in. He wasn't sure what was going on with the husband lately so his mind went to that and maybe taking a trip this summer together, so when someone came into the greenhouse and spoke Griffin jumped in his wheelchair a little.
Turning his head he smiled, "Morning" He had seen her at the department meeting, but hadn't had a chance to speak to her yet, so this was a good moment to do just that. "Why yes, it is a great day to be around plants, but really isn't any day?" He smiled a little for the fact that it was their job to be around plants so he figured most of them loved doing it.
Watching her get an apron he nodded, "Doing some trimming or??" Maybe she was working on a project, but either way he was just curious to what she was doing. "Nice to meet you Astra" He turned his chair and wheeled closer to her, "I'm Griffin, welcome to the department." He had only been there a few years, but he still felt like the newest one, so it was nice to see more.
