[Aya can be seen sitting at work station inside Nectar with flowers all around him. He's just finishing an arrangement with a final clip of his scissors before grabbing his Dreamberry and offering a small smile.]I know that the snow and illness have slowed a number of us down. So I wanted to offer something in the way of comfort for that

Where'd you get all those orange roses? I didn't think we had that many in stock.

[Well, you did say 'any questions'...]

[beyondweiss]

I was raising them in the greenhouse.

[insorrow]

Do you think we'll have enough? It's gonna be kinda difficult to get stock in when, well...

[Ken gestures to the snow falling outside with one thumb because clearly Aya couldn't possibly know what he was referring to without the visual aid. Of course not.]

Hey, where are we getting this stuff from, anyway?

[beyondweiss]

Have you looked at the invoices?

[insorrow]

Didn't think there was anything on the invoices. I guess I could check...

Really, this whole place is just plain weird.

[beyondweiss]

The former owner had this all arranged. I make sure to keep us well stocked so that way we can make it through several weeks if we have to.

[insorrow]

Well, looks like we're gonna be needing it. Pity we don't sell anything useful. Like... sweaters and stuff. Soup.

[beyondweiss]

Sometimes flowers can be useful, Ken. If only in meaning.

[insorrow]

Sure, but you can't eat em. If I've gotta be snowed in anywhere it'd be better to do it in a grocery store.

[beyondweiss]

I'm actually aware of that.

[insorrow]

Hey, I wasn't saying you wasn't, Aya. I was just saying. You know?

[beyondweiss]

[He shakes his head.]

I'll need help with deliveries.

[insorrow]

Huh? Oh... yeah, all right. Better get a box or something, it's-- hey, where's Omi? Wasn't he down to work today?

[beyondweiss]

Omi is sick and will be sitting at the counter making arrangements. And if he does anything besides that, there will be words.

[insorrow]

He's sick?

[Okay, this is news to Ken. Not welcome news, either. He's aware there's something going round at the moment; blame the weather if you blame anything. It simply never occurred to him that Omi could get it.

[Omi didn't get sick, did he?]

Shouldn't he be in bed?

[beyondweiss]

Yes, he should.

[Aya is not happy. Does it show?]

But he's apparently bored and if I don't have him doing things here at the shop he's likely to get up and go do something else.
