Jasmine returned Freya's smile and still speaking softly said,"Oh no, you are not intruding at all, if anything I am, you were here first. Ahh Freya, what a pretty name you have. And yes, I am Professor Carracio's daughter. Although, I am sure there are times he would not like to claim that!" Jasmine chuckled slightly before elaborating," What with all the trouble I seem to get into at times. Anyways, I shall not be long, and I'm sure my father will be able to help you with whatever you need to speak to him about. He is quite good at sorting out things and making them better.." Her voice went even softer then with deep affection,"He is my hero."
Freya smiled even wider at the compliment her name recieved,
"Oh, thank you. You know, I've never heard the name Jasmine before, it's quite lovely as well." She waited a little while before commenting further,
"You're lucky to have him. He's been able to help me so far. And I wouldn't worry about causing trouble at times, what's life without a little risk after all eh?" Quote:
Turning to Freya again with a smile she said,"There. All finished. Please accept my apology for disturbing your quiet morning. I hope we may meet again." Jasmine stopped a moment then went on in what she hoped was a casual tone,"Oh, and no need to let my father know I was here, I'm sure I shall see him later." Plus I don't need him asking too many questions, it could ruin everything. Giving Freya a parting smile and wave, Jasmine turned and left a back way so as not to run into her father.
Freya returned the wave and watched her leave.
'She seems nice.' Freya thought as she closed her eyes again.

Carracio made his way into the gardens for his morning ritual. As he had last time, he ignored Freya for his precious rose bush--his lost family. This time he also whispered sweet things to each one, and once again lingered a little longer on the silver-blue rose. "I have finally figured it out," he said softly to the red one at last. "Give me another day, and you will be joined."
He hesitated a moment, caressing the blue rose with a pained look, then pulled away at last, composing himself and turning to Freya. "I am surprised that you are here before I am. But then again, I am likely to take longer in the shower than you." He smirked. There were still many who, if they knew what he did every morning, would accuse him of preparing for the day like a woman.
Freya could hear another person walking around after a few moments, she knew it was professor Carracio,
'Probably greeting his family first, that's perfectly fine.' She opened her eyes again as he acknowledged her. Freya gave him an odd look upon hearing his comment,
"I don't know about that, Sir." She said as she gave a small smile,
"I get up at four o' clock every morning. I hate to oversleep. And since I get up so quickly I can take as much time as I want. But you do always seem to be very well groomed, I'll agree with you on that."
