While not quite as comfortable in the greenhouse as she was in the library, Meadow had grown rather fond of the warmth. It was like a hug all the time, one that didn't encumber her movements or hold her back. Just the right sensory experience. That, combined with the smell of the plants and the diffused light? This was a space she could feel safe and comfortable within. That, and it wasn't like that many people even came out here-- even better.
But today, it seemed, she wouldn't be alone. Having been squirreled away in the storage room hunting for a watering can, she didn't see Talyssa come in. Struggling with an overfull jug of water for some parched-looking vegetable plants, the small girl made her way out into the sunlight. It was only then that she noticed the other girl, somewhat jumping at the unexpected company. Jeeze, she hoped Talyssa hadn't noticed her surprise. Instead, Meadow offered a small, shy smile and went back to her task, carrying the heavy vessel as best she could.
