She felt, admittedly, a flush of foolishness rise to her face now that her surprise had faded. All her life, she had thought of the city only as a place of industrial coldness, labs, mutation—destruction of the natural world. Yet here, amidst it all, she was surrounded by the scent of freshly tilled earth. The simplicity of the building was terribly familiar—so much so, it pulled at her heart. It was inevitable, as an outsider, that she could not know what to expect. But the city was a place of abundance of all kinds. Now, it felt obvious she would encounter people of all kinds, too. Someone who might, for example, run such a lovely little shop.
Her steps held at the doorway for an extended moment, as she took a full breath and drank in the intensity of scents bursting from inside. Her eyes alighted to plants and colors, berries and bottles, and… what were these? With a polite smile to the shop’s keeper, she stepped lightly past to get a closer look at the scurrying creatures, and the label she hoped might tell her what they were. Pachee? A plant creature, apparently, though the label said little more. Watching them for a few moments, she couldn’t contain an affectionate smile. Oh, they were wonderful.
“Excuse me,” she began, kneeling down beside a little female. “I think I’d like to purchase…” She held her tongue a moment. Could she really justify spending so much? A generous parting gift left her with credits well beyond her needs. Was there really any harm in buying more than one? Perhaps she could make connections, here in the city, if there were others who may wish to arrange a breeding.
“…A few, actually,” she laughed, feeling her cheeks redden again in embarrassment. She imagined the young man wouldn’t mind, though she felt terribly aware of her own inexperience. Somehow, it seemed childish to spend so much. But how could she say no to such delightful little beasts?
