Pretty in Purple

Oh, her heart felt like it was about to explode. Theory could picture herself just like this, following after a rambunctious child - maybe it had the same dark fur, but white markings. The tell-tale Destruction eye markings. Maybe a short, bobbed tail like her own. The rush of hormones she felt surging through her body was enough to make her light-headed. This is pathetic. My season isn't even due for months. Trying to put a pin in her maternal instincts, Theory bounced after Ulmaria's eager steps. "Alright, lavender it is!" she called after her, grabbing the basket as she passed it. "Oh, excellent job!" Theo praised her. "Are you looking for only lavender? What other plants can you name?" she asked, carefully sectioning out another lavender plant nearby. Theo dug it up and placed it in the basket. Dusting off her teaching skills was more important than ever.
