Text Cut: Mariana
QUOTE=TakemetotheBurrow;12434375]Mariana had been going back and forth to the greenhouses all morning, taking notes and returning when they were complete to pass them off. Truth be told, she was having a wonderfully productive day and it had her feeling all kinds of cheerful. It was why she'd volunteered to go see what the man calling out wanted when she heard his voice, deciding she had the time to spare a few minutes to help someone. If you were feeling good, it was nice to pay that forward, yeah? Well, here she went to do just that.

"Hi, how can I he--" Oh. She knew this guy. Adam, right? The glasses were the give away, though she was glad to see he seemed to be fairing better with them than he had been when they'd met. "Hey, nice to see you again. Are you looking for someone?"

The paper in Adam’s hand crinkled as he stood there, trying not to fidget. Standing around waiting always made him impatient and nervous. It was odd because he had no problems sitting around a cauldron waiting on the next step in a potion. Perhaps he was just uncomfortable waiting for help. In fact, ever since the Gala, Adam had found himself to be very impatient and uncomfortable in general. He blamed Zita, which probably attested for his avoidance of her lately. He should have known better than to let himself get attached to someone. It never failed that as soon as he did, there were problems. The problems were never the same twice, but there were problems none-the-less.

In his fidgeting, he had turned a slow circle and was facing the exit of the room as someone walked up to him. He turned on his heel as he heard a greeting. Even though he had come up here hoping to run into Mariana, he was honestly surprised she was the one who had come out to help him. He stood there for a moment blinking big blue eyes behind his big ugly glasses as he tried to gather himself together because seeing her brought memories of the gala and its aftermath rushing back. And with it came all his confused emotions.

”Hallo,” he cleared his throat. ”Mariana, ja?” he asked, despite knowing 100% that it was the name of the woman he’d asked a simple question of at the gala. A question that had led her into a very awkward and uncomfortable situation. Adam suddenly felt like a huge cretin. He tried to put on his usual lopsided grin. ”I am in need uff a botanist.” He raised the hand holding his list, hoping his face wasn’t showing how much he wanted to run out of the room. ”Vhich if I remember rightly vou are.” A nervous laugh escaped him, a slight flush coming to the tips of Adam’s ears. He knew that by coming up here he was likely to see her, had hoped to see her in order to apologize for his party’s behavior at the gala, and yet, hadn’t really expected to run into Mariana. It was all so…damn…confusing. Not to mention, nerve-wracking. He didn’t really understand why. After all he hadn’t been the one acting inappropriately, giving Mariana death glares, or calling her an Italian tomato sauce.

He pushed the stupid glasses on his face further up his nose and held the list close this face to double check it before handing it over. As far as he could tell his translation pen had worked successfully and had dictated the needed plants in English. ”Potion supplies on Lefel Neun are low.” He lowered the paper and finally and he held out the paper in Mariana’s general direction, because while the glasses helped him get around without a cane, he still couldn’t see much.
