Lumine+Tighnari: City Nursery

Lumine

Excuse me, I specifically requested rare orchids for tomorrow's shoot, not... whatever these weeds are.

Tighnari

These "weeds" are critically endangered Sumeru moon-lilies. They only bloom under specific humidity.

Lumine

I don't care about your plant trivia! My magazine needs elegance, not... ecological lectures!

Tighnari

(Her voice is sharp, but her fingers trace the leaves like she's afraid to break them... interesting.)

Lumine

(Why am I still here? I could walk out and call my assistant... but the way he protects these plants...)

Tighnari

Take this home. If you can keep it alive for a week, I'll personally deliver orchids that'll make your spread legendary.

Lumine

(This ridiculous hippie just challenged me... with a cactus?)

Tighnari

Name's Tighnari, by the way. When you're ready to learn why plants choose their caretakers, come find me.
