[ino]

[ It's not that she doesn't notice that the smile has to be forced a little, but -- she doesn't know Jove well enough to pry, so instead, she hopes the flowers will bring her a little bit of cheer ]

I was 100% serious. And yes, both of them are for you.

[dawnwillcome]

[You're the best, Ino. Jove comes over to help with the carrying, reaching out for the larger of the two bundles of flowers.]

Here, I'll take this one and you can follow me to put the other one down. I- wait.

[Now that she's closer, she can see the tag on the flowers still in Ino's arms. She leans closer, just to be sure.]

Fenris did this?

[ino]

Yeah, I was pretty surprised too.

[ Given he's been mostly a raging douchebag to her. She shrugs, though ]

But, he said he owed you a thank you for something, so.

[dawnwillcome]

Well, this is possibly the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

[And anyone else who ever wants to top it is going to be in a lot of trouble, because Fenris got her flowers. She laughs softly, then turns to lead Ino towards her room.]

It's this way. And you know I could have met you somewhere to make this easier for you, right? Or I could have come to fetch them, you didn't have to come all this way.

[ino]

Oh, it's no big deal. They're not heavy or anything, they're just flowers.

[ She follows along, glancing at the inside of the ship as she goes ]

Besides, the whole point was for them to be delivered to you.

[dawnwillcome]

I'll have to give you a gift to thank you for your trouble, then. Right through here.

[Compared to the rest of the ship, Jove's room might as well be in a different place completely. She's covered almost every unusable surface in potted plants, vines have been guided to grow up and down the walls. Flowers bloom everywhere and most of the metal is completely hidden. It's about as close to a grove in a forest as you can get, after a month of collecting plants and seeds.]

Anywhere you can find some space is fine.

[ino]

... Wow.

[ If her smile is any indication, she seems to like it. She sets down what she's holding on an endtable, looking around ... ]

This is ... really cool.

[dawnwillcome]

[Jove Approves, Ino. Good job.]

Thank you. I'm a Dalish elf, unlike Fenris. We live in the wilderness instead of cities, so being trapped in a metal tube isn't exactly a thing I'm fond of. I'll be sad to leave the planet we're on now, it's disturbingly a lot like home. There's even a city called Kirkwall in Thedas.

[ino]

I'm not an elf, Dalish or otherwise, but I'm not fond of all the metal, either. Which is why I offered to do the flower arrangements for people ... At least it's a little touch of nature even with all the buttons and lights.

[ But she glances at Jove when she mentioned being sad to leave ... ]

How similar are we talking, besides the name?

[dawnwillcome]

Some of the plants were nearly identical. Like this one.

[She moves to where she's set up the necessary equipment for potion making, plucking a wide green leaf from one of the plants there so she can hand it over to Ino.]

That's almost exactly like a plant we have in Thedas, elfroot. It looks the same, has the same effects and taste. It seems to be less potent, but otherwise it's like they took it directly from my world.

[ino]

... Huh.

[ She turns the leaf over in her hand, examining it ]

What about places or people? Anything familiar there?

[dawnwillcome]

I've never actually been to Kirkwall so I couldn't tell you if it's the same or not, but markets like the one in the city aren't uncommon in Thedas. I didn't recognize any of the people from the planet, though.

[She really hadn't even thought to look for people who would be familiar, but now that it's been brought up Jove frowns slightly.]

Has that happened? Have there been times people on the planets looked like people we know?
