It won't take long when there's a song to help you set the pace )
She skidded to a halt near Voile, taking care not to trip or mess up the soil. She seemed to be holding a few bags of seeds, and grinned when she saw her big sister friend. "Voile! You're helping too?! That's great!" She sat down. "Do you mind if I plant with you?"

She took a moment to examine her closely and tipped her head to the side, "You look so radiant today, Mint. As though the very sun were within your eyes. Are you in a particularly good mood?"

"I hope you're right, Mint. It's good to see everyone working for a common goal. It... lightens my heart a little bit. Everyone seems so happy." Then she tapped Mint on the forehead, "Did you know that the sun also makes people happy?" She grinned happily. Even she wasn't immune to it.

She began planting the seeds absentmindedly, not worrying about how dirty she was getting her hands, since she was doing it just a little messily. She was having fun, though!

Then she turned her attention back onto her own levitating seeds. And little by little, she packed the dirt around them, again without the use of her docile hands she was growing to like so much.
"What kinds of flowers are you planting?"

She then took notice of how Voile was levitating the seeds. "Oh, cool, you can levitate stuff, Voile!?"
Reply
"How pretty," she said softly. Then she blinked at Mint, "Oh! Well. Yes. I have some telepathic powers although I haven't used them much since I've been here. I think it's interesting I can still sense everything and do things in a human form rather than just being a Gardevoir."

And as if this were the time or the place to do such things, Mint outstretched her arm sideways.... and nothing happened. She pouted a little. "Aww, I can't. Oh well! At least that means I can't accidentally hurt someone with them, and that's good!"

"We'll work on it together, okay? It's always better when you're sharing the difficulties with someone else. Besides, that's what families do." She extended a hand and lightly fingered the ends of Mint's hair, something of a reassuring motion.

She tilted her head ever so slightly when Voile mentioned families and touched her hair. "Yeah, that is what families do!" As if this were some sort of sudden realization, which was very apparent on her beaming face. And then she blurted out, "You're like the sister I never had, Voile~!"

And then she softened. Everything about her did. Every potential tinge of despair, every expression of inching uncertainty, it all faded into something far more pure and heartfelt. Oftentimes she could say she felt touched, but it was a rare thing for her to look it.
For a few moments, she said absolutely nothing. And then she looked down to Mint and drew her thumb over her cheek lightly, cupping her chin into her hand, "That's very kind of you. You... are like a younger sister to me, as well."
Reply
But the moment the Gardevoir-turned-human admitted that Mint was like a younger sister to her, she threw herself forward and hugged the other. "That's great~! We can be sisters, heehee!" Nothing could have prepared Mint for it - she was really happy about it.
Reply
"You're so easily amused, Mint," she replied. Her head inclined and she brushed the tip of her nose over Mint's. Silly human noses. They were so cute.
Reply
And then she withdrew, realizing that they were supposed to be planting seeds for the greenhouse. Even then she would be spending time with her 'sister,' right? She began working on planting.
"I wonder what the greenhouse will look like when all the plants grow~?"
Reply
"I think it'll be lovely. Lovely and inviting," Voile replied, somewhat absentminded in her answer. "I'm sure I'll spend plenty of time here."
