Subject: Closes the door behind her...

The path she had taken was short, and had led here. The Qyne looks out from her hood to look upon the glory of the greenhouse. There were so many plants�. She picks up one of the buckets and walks down the aisles. She stops at one of the plants at the back. It was a brilliant gold flower that�s stem sprouted tiny buds in different colors. Harinalti�s mouth drops slightly as she reaches out to touch one of the buds, a red/purple one. She gently lifts the bucket to pour some of the water in. �There you go. I bet you were thirsty. No one probably comes back this far.� She smiles. �You know, you�re pretty easy to talk to. I haven�t spoken this much since I was bought. You see, my family was taken away and killed by horrible men. They put me up for sale, but I got away once I was bought. You remind me of my family a bit. Your buds are the children at a festival, dressed in bright clothing and showing off there best. Your stem reminds me of our home, so small and yet so sturdy to uphold so many lives. And you remind me of our mother, strong and beautiful at the same time.� Harinalti smiles softly. �But that was a long time ago.� She sighs, but then gets an idea, �I know something that could make you grow healthy if I ever leave!� She reaches into her pouch and pulls out the dead chitter and her knife. She cuts off one of the small haunches and places everything back. �Here,� she says while gently pulling back some of the soil surrounding the plant, �This should keep you for a while. Something my older sister taught me, before she was killed.� Harinalti stands and smiles at the flower. �I have to go now. I�ll be back, though.� She turns and jogs out of the greenhouse, into the streets.
