The Grounds near the Stables, Friday Morning through Early Afternoon

Ino hummed, almost sang really, as she worked kneeling in the dirt and beginning the long process of transplanting her seedlings. Yes, she had more digging to do, to make room for them all but that was planned for and accounted for, and she’d get on it once this batch of seedlings was in the ground.

It was an utterly wonderful day, in Ino’s opinion, no matter what the weather was like.

[For one specifically, but open before that as well! And sp is loverly since I am at work and may be dragged off to do, you know, important worky things at any time. Am home! Yaaay home!]

Harriet was rather enjoying the warm day, and giving free rein to the enjoyment by eschewing office hours in favour of wandering around the grounds.

That her path took her past the stables, and so past the gardens Ino was creating, was not at all an accident. "Good morning," she called out. "I must say, this is looking good."

Ino looked up, half-formed song dying in her throat and grinning at the praise. "I try," she said, "it just takes patience, that's all."

"Patience and a great deal of hard work," she replied, nodding in approval. "If you need any supplies, let me know. I think the school's budget could extend to your garden."

"Everything worth having requires hard work," she said, shrugging. It wasn't anything special really. Not to her. Though, since Ino had, in fact, been paying for all of the garden out of her own pocket this was good news. Not that she minded paying for it. That made it undeniably hers. "Dad'll be glad to hear that," Ino laughed. "I keep expecting to get a letter from him asking if I'm starting my own store up."

She blinked. "I'm sorry, I don't quite recognize you..?" Ino lived in her own little bubble sometimes, though the woman did look familiar.

Someone who didn't know who she was. It was a refreshing surprise. "Harriet Jones, Dean of Students. I heard about your garden project, and thought I'd come down to have a look for myself," she said. "And you are Ino, correct?"

She considered that title, trying to equate it to anything she'd heard about. "Jones-san, then? Or Dean Jones?" Then she grinned. "Yeah, I'm Ino. Hopefully you've only heard good things 'bout the garden."

"Dean Jones is fine," she replied. "I've heard only excellent thing about the garden." Harriet gave her a quick smile. "You seem to have quite the knack for it."

"I like plants," she said, rested her arms lightly on her knees, cocking her head up at the Dean."And Mom runs a flower-shop back home. Been around them my whole life, so of course I know what I'm doing. And plants are easy to understand, they just want water and light and good ground."

Harriet crouched down near her, wincing as old knees protested. "Have you ever thought of making something of your skill? Oh, I know you said it's easy, but trust me, more people have a talent for killing them then growing them," she said. "It wouldn't be a bad thing to do with your future."

"I've already got my career," she told the Dean cheerfully. "So, while I'll wind up inheriting the flower-shop eventually I'm good as it is."

Harriet nodded. "I know a bit about that," she admitted. "I spoke with Lieutenant Kerrigan recently and it happened to come up."

That got slightly narrowed eyes and a sideways glance. "Yeah?" Ino asked warily. "What'd she say?"

[identity profile] idontlooktired.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Harriet chose her words with great care. "That your career path has been chosen since you were very young," she finally said.

She shrugged, not comfortable with this conversation. "Never wanted to be anything else."
