4 - In which Mokuren gets a job, and makes a request
[Mokuren had just come back from her first day working at the flower shop. It wasn't as bad as she expected. Though her empathy with plants had not diminished, she didn't have her powers, so at least she did not have to hear the flowers cry in pain when she picked them. Kiches had to be philosophical about plants, anyway. Still, the awareness that she was causing plants pain wore on her.
Add that to a too-serious attitude concerning her responsibility as a not!mother and a newly-arrived not!husband who seemed to be a few crayons short of a box, and she needed some stress relief. Apparently, the thing to do in Mayfield when you have a problem is to pick up the phone, so that's what she does.]
I've got a question. Is there some sort of choir here that I could join?
