[ When Aerith comes onto the screen she looks pretty concerned about something. ] Hello, everyone. I know a lot of people have things they're working on right now and things they're concerned about but...as anyone seen Llewellyn...? [ she scrunches her burrows up in concern. ] We've had a few...accidents recently so I'm kinda concerned. He usually comes in for shifts to help me out at the flower shop but...

[ she shakes her head enthusiastically ] he hasn't come in a few days. Usually if he gets caught up in something I can at least find him. I've tried looking but no dice. I'm hoping someone can let me know where he is.

Or that he'll answer here! If you do, you better expect to be in trouble Mister!

Be careful if you do, please. I know he'd hate to have someone hurt on his account.

[ But she wanted people out there looking for him because she was selfishly worried. ]

I'd appreciate that actually. The warmer weather means I've had a lot more flowers coming out.

Thank you, I will.

[Of course he didn't know where to start to look for the man, and he was sure that Rhy had probably covered all of the regular bases. But still, a part of him really hurt deep at the news. This was terrible.

But he put on a smile of sorts for the lady on the other end of the line.]

I'd love to help. I have a rooftop garden with my friend Lauri-Ell. We've been working on it quite a bit lately.

Lauri-Ell's told me about that, it sounds really nice! I'm glad to hear there are so many people here that appreciate flowers.

Yes, that seems to be the case. But I'll be sure to take some pictures of what we've been doing so you can see it.

[This was helping him to deflect the pain of the missing detective.]

Thank you, I'd definitely be curious to see! And besides, it seems like we could all use something to distract ourselves. [ Especially people who couldn't just rush out to look on their own. ]

I agree. And thank you for allowing me to help you.

[It was all he could think to do at the moment.]

You don't have to thank me, I should be thanking you.

Uh, thanking me? For what?

Offering to help me out a bit at the flower shop and taking my mind off how worried I am.

[He smiled for her sake.]

I saw the beautiful flower work you did at Nida sensei's wedding last Autumn. I just never got the chance to tell you.

[Because he was too shy.]

Oh, well! Thank you very much, I tried to do the best I could for such a special occasion. I wanted them to be super happy that day.

They looked very happy.

[Really there was no other way to describe it.]

Do you normally do custom orders and things like that?

It was a first actually, so I was pretty nervous to get it right. [ She was happy to hear everyone was pleased with it. ]

Usually they're single orders of specific flowers. Sometimes though there's special requests for custom bouquets.

Oh, I wouldn't have guessed.

[Really he wouldn't have.]

So do the customers request the flowers themselves or do you have to pick them out yourself?

That's a nice compliment! [ That was really nice to hear that people thought she did that good of a job. ]

Some pick them out, sometimes I pick them out.

[He just smiled as he listened to the next part.]

So every order is different then, that makes sense. But you grow flowers all year around, right?

I have a few sets that are available, but I prefer letting people ask for their own so everything is different. I do grow most things year round though.

That makes sense.

[And the thought of Llewellyn not seeing these gnawed at him pretty hard. But he didn't want to show it.]

I'll ask Lauri-Ell about moving our project closer to you then so everything can be in one spot. I can let you know as soon as I find out.
