The feed turns on and there is dirt everywhere. Some might recognize the blue building nearby and that's where this is taking place. There's a set of potted flowers that are neatly lined up, currently sitting in terra cotta planters. A sigh is heard and Angeal looks slightly up over the camera.

"You touch that and you know you'll be in trouble. There won't be any snacks for you once we get to try that new café today."

A pup's whine is heard and a playful bark before the former First Class turns back to what he's doing, as if he was never interrupted. More playful barking is heard and again Angeal pauses. "Don't dig in the plants."

His gaze lifts and Angeal watches something in the distance which is more than likely the dog doing something. With a small shake of the head, his gaze lowers and he realizes the camera is on.

So as he reaches to turn the feed off, he gestures with his head.

"Just planting some roses and other flowers. Might do some work around the other buildings too if they need it."

What is it with you blue building residents and the need to garden? Is it just a fascination with you all, or do you see the greenhouse and go 'yes, this is my calling in life?'

Still, I always appreciate seeing them when I go for a climb.

[Angeal had to laugh a little.]

That must be how we're sorted. Somehow our love of gardening must be found out and we end up all in the same place.

[That last part got his attention though.]

You go climbing here?

Of course I do. The buildings are wonderful for scaling. Very good sight lines too. I've an old fondness for the tree outside one of them as well.

Scaling buildings?

[Angeal did that when missions required it, but to do it just to do it? That was interesting.]

And you climb trees too. How did you start doing such a thing?

Started when I was a very little kid. Moved on to other skills when I was training. I can do mountains or free climb many buildings. It's a wonderful rush. My husband even made sure our house has open support beams in the higher rooms so I can scramble up when I need height.

[Angeal slightly smiled. This guy definitely had style.]

You climb up on the support beams to sit on in your own house?

[Well that was a new one.]

[Aw, how kind to think that.]

Of course. I've got a little place up on one in the master bedroom. I keep a pillow and blanket there for naps.

[He..what?]

You're not afraid to fall off the beam?

Of course not. Why would I?

[He didn't have an answer for that so he just shrugged.]

You must have great balance, considering you climb and sleep on beams.

[There was a note of admiration in his tone there.]

[Nida laughed and nodded.]

Yep. I suppose I'm a little bird that way. Siren does compare me to a hawk.

[That earned a half snicker from Angeal.]

If you like heights and the view, that name has to have been well earned.

[Nida laughs and nods. Yeah, that makes sense.]

I think so. I try to live up to it I guess.

[ She looks intensely amused. ]

I think he wants to help you planting! Maybe. [ Or just to make a mess ] I'm so happy to see people planting flowers and growing things. It makes the place feel so much more alive.

[She seemed to be the type since she loved Zack and he was a big pup on two legs.]

He probably wants to dig up everything but that's how pups are.

[At hearing the last part, Angeal nodded.]

I wanted to get some roses planted, and figured I'd better do it on a nice day.

Maybe you should give him a little patch all his own and try to teach hi m that's his patch.

It's an excellent day I think!

[That had him pause a minute. Giving the pup something was a good idea, but he wasn't sure still.]

I take it you've been planting things too?

I usually go to spend some time in my garden every day. They need someone to talk to you know?

[He was half amused even if he knew that Aerith was serious.]

Talking to the plants helps them grow, right?

[Angeal had heard something like that years ago.]

Yup! Sometimes they'll even talk back. Not sure what exactly they want to say though. [ She grins, her tone light and joking ]

I'm sure I won't be able to hear them.

[Being dead might have its advantages, but he was more than sure even with his super hearing and other enhanced Soldier abilities, hearing plants wouldn't be one of them.]

But if I plant them in a certain way, when the wind picks up, it might look as if they're dancing.

No? That's too bad. I hear they might have important things for us all. [ She laughs, leaving it a bit up in the air on if she's joking or not. ]

[ She chuckles. ] It would look like they're dancing, that'd be pretty cute to do too. I bet flowers would like to dance.

[Angeal just smiled slightly. Considering who she was, he wasn't surprised that she could talk to plants. Sure he himself spoke to them, but he wasn't going to hear anything back. However, her comment about flowers dancing had him wonder out loud.]

If they did, wouldn't they lose their petals?

I hadn't actually thought of that! They just might and that'd be terrible for them. I don't think they'd like being naked.
