Even though the bell rings as you open the front door, there's already a bit of a scene as you come in. It doesn't seem like anyone's noticed your appearance.

LD   Another thing - has anyone complained about the smell in here?

LD   I understand the humidity. And the soil. I can even excuse the meat freezer.

FL   What? There is a what freezer?

GB   Oh, you can barely smell it. It's sealed.

LD   There has to be a better way to manage the overwhelming organic scent.

GB   You're exaggerating. People just smell the flowers!

FL   Why is there a freezer for meat?

GB   For Kerber, of course.

FL   Who is Kerber?

LD   May I recommend proper ventilation? Or a bigger building, perhaps?

LD   It is also somewhat claustrophobic in here.

GB   Lydia, unless it's something we can fix easily, I'd rather not hear it.

LD   Well, I've said my truth.

FL   What is touching me? Something is moving.

GB   Goodness. Kerber! Get those vines off of him!

Felix turns around and gazes in horror as the enormous, carnivorous plant recoils its leafy tendrils.

FL   This was not in the advertisement.

LD   It'd spoil the fun.

FL   You knew this in advance?!

LD   I said I've been here before, Mr. Schirmer.

LD   Hence, my recommendation and subsequent valuable critique.

GB   I only accept criticism through charitable donations.

LD   Hmm. Well, you heard her, rich boy.

FL   What are you two talking about? Why are you ignoring how the plant had moved?

GB   Oh! Y/N, when did you come in?

Gabrielle beams and ushers you over where the three of them are. Beside her, Lydia nods her head in greeting.

LD   Welcome to Eden.

GB   Thank you.

GB   ...unless that was sarcasm.

LD   I would love to see you make the distinction.

GB   Good Heavens. Nevermind.

GB   I don't know how you have the patience for her, Felix.

FL   What? Oh.

FL   I apologize. I believe it has sprouted another head.

LD   It has three, Mr. Schirmer. Get with the program.

FL   Your nonchalance is as disturbing as always, Ms. Yew.

As the two start bickering, Gabrielle sighs and looks at you.

GB   Please, don't mind them.

GB   Are you here for something? A bouquet, perhaps?

Y/N   Do you have any specials for today?

GB   The special?

GB   Oh my goodness! You want the special!

Gabrielle claps and bursts into excited giggles. It's enough to draw the pair's attention.

LD   Shall we celebrate the sale, as well?

FL   No, Y/N is meaning the flowers of courtship.

LD   My God, are you able to say anything without sounding flowery yourself?

FL   It is a perfectly apt word.

Meanwhile, she rushes behind the counter. You follow her over there.

GB   Oh, a true romantic! Finally!

GB   I would love to assist you, Y/N.

GB   First things first - what exactly are you looking for?

GB   Because if you want to go with the most classic options, we have them.

GB   However! I'm always a strong advocate of picking with deliberation.

GB   Flora is such a diverse language with intricate meanings.

GB   I won't make you do either one. It's your choice.
