[Messing around in the kitchen with a bunch of sunflowers, cattails, reeds and various other foliage. He's got a small arrangement going, but the sunflowers are looking more on the droopy side and bits of petal are scattered everywhere]

Maybe I should just get some fake ones, yeah. Not good at takin' care o' the real thing...

[She looks at the flowers]

They look a bit wilted...

[hammer_echo]

[Yanks the majority of the flowers out of the vase, scattering little yellow petals in his hair] Yeah, that they do.

[hotforscience]

[SHe points to his hair] You got some petals in there. Did you take care of them properly or did you just pick them?

[hammer_echo]

I picked 'em a couple days ago, yeah. And gave 'em the usual sunlight, water, and love. Guess these guys didn't appreciate it this time 'round. [And in the trash, they go]

[hotforscience]

Well, sometimes that happens. Pity, it was a lovely arrangement.

[hammer_echo]

That's why I should get some fake flowers, yeah. Easier t'take care of, and they'll keep all year round.

[hotforscience]

Yes, they would be easier to keep. But then why have fake ones when you get the real ones.

[hammer_echo]

So, I don't have t'deal with petals in my hair, droopy flowers, or changin' old plants in fer new ones, yeah. Gotta a better argument fer real flowers?

[hotforscience]

No, but there is a certain joy in taking care of the real thing. Even, if it only for moment or if it seems like more trouble than it worth.

[hammer_echo]

[Laughs] I guess ya do got a point there. Ya wanna help me go find some fresher flowers?

[hotforscience]

Sure, I have time to kill.

[hammer_echo]

I'm tryin' to make somethin' fer a friend o' mine. She's a sweet girl. Very down t'earth. Whaddaya think she'd like?

[hotforscience]

Well, flowers would be good but I've seen the result. Do you know this girl well? If you know she like something in particular, I can help a bit more.

[hammer_echo]

Well, she's an artist, yeah. And she'd like a cat... Yanno where I can find a cat? And a cute one. Not a mutant.
