i wish plant life would grow all around me

Indigo knew he could be proud of his choice when Iolaire’s lips pulled back into a grin and she led the way towards their next flower. It was a beautiful little bush and Indigo couldn’t help but run his paw gently through the innumerable stalks. The scent of lavender filled the air and the boy breathed in deeply as he listened to his aunt explain its uses. This was his favorite plant so far, the one he was most excited to have back in his garden. It wasn’t the flashiest flower, but it was the most wonderful scent.

He beamed up at his aunt’s caribou friend as his little bit of lavender was wrapped and placed for safekeeping. Indigo nodded in understanding as she told him that this too would need the sun’s full attention. His garden wasn’t terribly big, Indigo would have to be careful if he wanted too much more. ”Hibiscus makes tea, and lavender can be used to flavor.” He started, offering his observations of his chosen plants once more. ”What if I wanted one more thing, for a tea made with my other two flowers?” He asked her as sapphire gaze shifted lovingly to his two little plants. His very own plants for his special garden that his sister made just for him. Already he couldn’t wait to share his first tea with her.
