Day 33: Greenhouse (Men)

Peony hadn't expected to be handed such big pruning shears.
He'd never been to a greenhouse like this before; most of the plants he saw were cut and on banquet tables, or in sprays throughout his palace. Grand Chokmah had its share of plants, too, but he didn't really get to walk around town much. And beyond the other side of the town there was a forest. He could not see the forest from the palace. All he could normally see was water - water, as far as the eye could see. Rarely plants. So of course an environment like this intrigued the ecletic emperor.
He was already in a sunny sort of mood; talk with Gailardia last shift had made him rather effusive, and the thought of going about with his servant and Haseo tonight was rather exciting. Traipsing about with all these young men made these old bones feel young again! Now Peony knew why Jade had really left Grand Chokmah to run around with Anise and the rest. It wasn't duty, it was-- to suck their youth out of them like a vampire!!
But - well. A greenhouse seemed like a nice place to visit, but not to work. Still, here he was now, standing in front of a bush with a pair of shears.
Where... to start?
