"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...'

He couldn't help but think about her statement, it must be an okay place if he stayed this long. He hadn't been there horribly long, but he had seen many come and go, he was on his third department head (well second official). He wasn't so sure why that was, but he did like his job. "I like the people, I think we have a good department head now and she will do great things. So yeah I would say it is a good place to be, plus with plants, it all works out." That was the main reason he was there anyway.

Watching one's expression when they were passionate about something was one of the best things to do and she didn't disappoint. He nodded understanding, "My parents were marine biologist so my brother and I have been around at least some things all our lives." Though most of the plants in here he hadn't seen with his parents, though his mother would love to see a few of the more magical ones.

"No, I can't say that I am. My main stuff is just keeping everything living in here and working with the more mundane plants we have. " He liked working with them, it reminded him of home.
