Excellent question. Apparently, the guy he was meeting later that week had a thing for plants, and choosing the correct plant as an introductory gift was the key to getting the job. When his contact had told him, Leander had laughed, sure that he was joking. But given that he was here... Well, clearly it was not a trick. Heading in the direction of the magical plants, and looking incredibly out of his depth, the man rubbed a hand across his stubble and nodded at the other guy in the area.

Gabriel couldn't decide. He thought the singing lily made for an excellent gift, but he also knew they could be annoying in close quarters. So maybe...not the right gift. He moved on toward the selection of flitterblooms, noticing another customer there.

Well, maybe a customer. The man looked concerned. Gabriel took a second glance, making observations about his choice of shoes and his stance and deciding...this fellow had no idea where to even begin in a plant shop. He gave him a reassuring smile and nod, but didn't say anything. Then, returning his focus to the plants, he picked up a potted flitterbloom to take a closer look at its tentacles.
