And I'm sure you're equally as 'good at it' as your brother, just in different subjects. Is your brother the type that you can see tending to magical plants and being successful at it?" Ash didn't know too many of these folks. It took a certain special touch, not to mention patience, from what Astara had observed and learned.

Astara eyed a particularly nice specimen nearby and trimmed it just slightly.
"Been to California once about ten years ago. I had such a wonderful time. The climate there is wonderful. Do you miss it at all?" Granted he'd been here now for quite some time.

As she collected a few dry twigs from her trimming and tossed them into the compost, Astara considered Griffin's question. "Well, if I'm being honest, I joined the Ministry to try and settle myself down a bit. Been hopping from job to job for a while, always environmental related careers though. Been to a couple different countries in the process." Ash attempted to wipe her soil covered hands off on her work apron, "Don't get me wrong, I love seeing new places and meeting people, but something was finally getting to me saying, 'maybe it's time to find a home-home' you know?" She got out her wand again and started to help Griffin water a couple plants on her side of the row.
"Plus, my family missed seeing me." Astara added, vanishing a puddle of water that had collected on the floor nearby.
She looked over to Griffin with almost an apologetic look, "Sorry, that went on longer than I thought...". Ash rubbed the side of her face with the back of her left hand, smearing soil on it in the process. "I guess I've been working with plants since I was a child. My grandmother inspired me a lot. She kept a fabulous collection outside her home. Plus, being an outdoorsy person sort of amplified that interest I suppose. I have a plant identification book that I take and mark off when I go camping."
Getting an itch on her nose now, Ash scratched at her face again, further dirtying her appearance. "Did you always want to work with plants?" Had she asked that yet? How silly of Ash.

He always liked the reaction he got from people when ti came to his brother and himself being muggle-born, "Yeah, we have come to the conclusion that someone in our family line had to been magical for us both to become magical and not just one of us, but we are identical so that probably helped as well." He shrugged and chuckled a bit. "Geth is great at a lot of things, but he tends to go with the animals more than the plants. With our parent's profession, we've been around both all our lives. " He was comfortable to be around for them both and it wasn't a surprise that they did.

"Yeah, I guess I do, but I can visit often. Our grandparents still live there. I actually got married there on the beach." It was a nice small wedding that his groom and him enjoyed.

He listened to her talk about her experiences and enjoyed hearing it. She knew her plants and had worked in many places to get the experience, he couldn't help but admire the fact that she traveled as much as she did. If things would have been different for him he would have seen more of the world, but things happened for a reason and he was happy where he was. "Don't apologize, it's very interesting and it's nice to get to know my coworkers. " They would be working together for some time so he figured it was good to get to know them.

"Oh well, yes and no. I've always loved to be around plants and figured I'd end up with a job that was dealing with plants, but I figured it would be later in life. See... My brother and I, well, we were really into dirtbikes and racing. Was actually qualifying to become professional when I had a bad accident." He patted the wheel of his chair, "Changed some things after that."
