[tech_toye]

[Tech is actually sitting outside for once instead of hiding away in his room. The flowers seem to have an odd effect on the computer geek. He sits near the duplex, surrounded by carefully sorted piles of flowers. They've been separated by color. Now the recluse is braiding the flowers together, making wreaths in all sorts of colors and sizes and

[ Abby was just coming home from the Hydroponics Hamlet. It'd been a long shift. Normally things went by nice and easy with Lauren's help, but she'd gone to help look for the rejse child.

Right before the duplex she stopped dead in her tracks at the sight before her eyes, flabbergasted. But a smile found it's way to her face and she knelt down to inspect Tech's piles. ]

Having fun there?

[tech_toye]

[He doesn't look up, he rarely looks up at people and anyway he knows her voice. No need to worry.]

Yes.

[action]

[atypicaltorrid]

[ She figures she could keep him company while he's out here, and sitting would be nice so she sits back to watch the flowers fall. ]

There's so many different kinds. It least it's flowers and not sleet.

[action]

[tech_toye]

[He makes a face at that. Sleet would be terrible. He'd never sit outside if it was sleet.]

Should always rain like this.

[action]

[atypicaltorrid]

You wouldn't get tired of it? [ Abby wouldn't mind the sleet. She could melt it. Reaching out she caught a flower as it landed in her palm to examine it. ]

[action]

[tech_toye]

[He looks up at the flowers, kind of torn between happy and troubled then looks down]

Just can't think hard about it.

[action]

[atypicaltorrid]

Well, it's better than a zombie apocalypse. [ She'd take raining flowers over attacking undead any day. ]

[action]

[tech_toye]

[He makes a face because mystical stuff always makes him uneasy and unhappy. That's why he's not thinking about why it's raining flowers and not water. Best just to make more wreaths and pretend.

He shrugs at her comment though. He could probably handle a zombie apocalypse.]

[ Abby took his shrug and facial expressions as a key to move on. Seeing him continue with the wreaths, she leaned over to look at one. ] You're really good at those, you know.

[tech_toye]

[He half-smiled and patted the laptop next to him]

Got instructions.

Re: [action]

[atypicaltorrid]

Of course. [ How could she forget? ] Little brain dead from work.

Still, if some of these last I bet you could trade them for things.

[action]

[tech_toye]

Don't want to.

[He doesn't think he needs anything. He's got his computers, he's got power for them, that's all he needs. To prove it, he hands her the one he was working on.]

[action]

[atypicaltorrid]

[ She glances down at it before smiling and taking it gratefully. ] Thank you.

[ Considering a moment, she put it on her head before chuckling lightly. ]

Re: [action]

[tech_toye]

[He glances up, just a second and then looks down again. He quickly picks up a new flower to keep his hands busy.]

It's nothing.

[action]

[atypicaltorrid]

Oh you. It's appreciated, accept the thank you. [ She flicked a patch of flowers in his direction before flopping back on the ground. Thank god she had tomorrow off. ]

[tech_toye]

[He doesn't look at her but his expression is concerned]

Bad day?
