[Zoro's unhappy mug appears with one thing to ask.]

Who around here likes flowers?

[And that's it. There is motive behind it, naturally, but nothing that makes itself known before he turns the video off.]

I do. Are you a florist?

[ She...may sound a little skeptical at the question because Zoro's mug seems a bit too chiseled and burly for flower growing. But then you never know. ]

[ Video ]

[getslost]

No.

[But he adds with some awkwardness:] I'm an owner of the flower shop. [Against his will, sort of. By no means will he claim it as his profession.]

You really like them?

[ Video ]

[of_frell]

Really? [ So not the profession she would have pegged you for, Zoro. ]

Yes, I do. My stepsister is fond of flowers too - we have a couple around the house in vases.

[Utter monotone.] You're hired.

[Clearly his only reason for fishing.]

[bitesizebabe]

Doesn't everyone?

[The hologram gets a slow blink. No one has used that feature to talk to him before so he didn't expect it to pop out of his phone. Still, he has seen stranger things by now.]

Not everyone.

[bitesizebabe]

But why? They help make clean air, and they provide food and make things beautiful and smell lovely.

Different interests, [He gives the back of his head a scratch, not particularly interested in the debate. People liked what they liked and some didn't.] But you do?

[littlepwny]

Sure! Flowers are delicious!

[video]

[getslost]

A horse? [Sure... whatever.... /sweatdrop.] These aren't for eating.

[video]

[littlepwny]

Why? Do they taste bad?

[video]

[getslost]

[It's not that weird. There is a reindeer that transforms and talks on his crew.]

Dunno. They're supposed to be sold.

I do enjoy the beauty and grace of flowers.

[He smiles]

There are many varieties, each with its own distinct style. The white lotus being my favourite.

You.. [Unbidden, an image of Nami's face appears in Zoro's mind, the witch bitching something about offering job awareness. Zoro's expression twists, annoyed by this mental illustration, and thus he makes a particularly scary face as he finishes speaking.] --like working with flowers?

[Iroh does the above face in response]

Do you have a grudge against a flowershop owner or something?!

[getslost]

[And the swordsman is back to his usual deadpan, pushing Nami's face from his thoughts.]

Huuh? [Zoro does not understand the fright potential of his face.] No. It sounded like you like them?

I love flowers. My grandmother owns a huge lavender farm, I spent every weekend there when my mom first got remarried.

Why the flower question?

[Video]

[getslost]

[Zoro grunts at this extra information, though he listens to it nonetheless.]

I'm looking for those people, for Siren's Flowers.

[Video]

[chosenbynyx]

I wouldn't mind giving a hand.

[Zoro will take what he can get.]

Yeah? Alright. [He should probably ask something else... but what.... What more is there? He thinks for a minute, then decides he should probably find out what days she might intend to show up.] When?
