Hogwarts RPG Name: Rayna C. Thorne Third Year | ♥My Very 1st Tag | ~Filofax:Forever~ | ~Evil Slythie~ | Chris' Caretaker♥ SPOILER!!: Griffin Quote:
Originally Posted by Bazinga "That is no trouble at all. It is your name so whatever you would like to be called." He didn't see a problem in calling her Ash, he knew shortening names were common. Many called him Grif instead of just saying Griffin. "I've been here about four years now. Was part time for a little bit as I finished up with University, but I graduated last May, so now I'm here full time." How had it been a year since he graduated already. Time flew when you were busy with life.
Shaking his head and lifting his hands he smiled, "I'm not the boss of these plants and you work here, so you can trim whatever you need to." He wasn't going to stand in her way, plus he was here just to water and work on his anxiety being in here.
Looking around Griffin motioned for her to follow him. "I think we do, in the back area over here." He wheeled around the greenhouse until they made their way to a back corner. "Yep there they are." He hoped there was enough for whatever she was trimming them for.
So Griffin had been here for four years already? "Must be an OK place to be if you can make it that long. Especially if you moved from being part time to full." Astara smiled, for this seemed to be a good indicator of a pleasant work environment. "Great!" Ash said, clearly pleased by this news. She took out a pair of her own small shears (bright turquoise in color) and snipped a couple dried and unhealthy parts away from the nearest Flutterby. Astara got a good start before Griffin responded to her question in the way she'd hoped he would.
She followed behind Griffin to where the grafted plants were housed, a question burning in the back of her mind as she eyed Griffin's wheelchair curiously and with some concern. But upon reaching the grafted plants section, Ash just couldn't hide her delight, and that concerned look in her eyes passed for the time being. 'Later.' She told herself mentally, 'Later.' "This is awesome." Ash said, obviously thrilled. "It's always been a passion of mine... horticulture. One that my grandmother pushed on me, anyway. Plants on their own are great, but I just love the grafting process."
She began to wander through the rows of the grafted plants, looking at their tags, seeing who was responsible for what combination, how it was responding to the process, the likelihood of it fruiting or flowering, et cetera. A couple of plants even shuddered a little as Astara passed them...she ignored those for the time being. "Are you responsible for any of these combinations in here, Griffin?" 'This Dittany, Flitterbloom, and Floo plant looks wonderfully healthy...' Ash eyed the nearby plant longingly. 'Wish my Floo survived the graft...'
