Closed Rise, Shine, and Bloom Errand Solo

4/5/25 - 2:24pm English - Thoughts May 3rd, 2025 - Early Morning Interacting: @none [WC: 727] \(・ᆺ・☘)/

XXXThe sun rose once again, on a background of pale blue sky. The air was slightly chilly, though Eonaria could sense that it would soon warm up in springtime heat. Hopefully she would be able to get a good chunk of this errand done before the afternoon's warmth arrived. She loved the sun's rays as much as any other person, but she wasn't exactly a fan of sweating while she worked. Fortunately, today seemed like a wonderful Saturday. She was very thankful that it hadn't rained last night.

XXXEonaria arrived at the school grounds early, equipped with her bag and received a variety of potted seedlings from Professor Toussaint with a smile. "Thank you!" she mumbled before hurrying off to find her own patch of ground.

XXXShe picked a spot about several meters away from the Great Lake, trying to find a place that would be both locationally pleasing and also not too close to the lake. The wildlife was still thriving, with various waterfowl occasionally dipping down before flying off again. Eonaria was also sure she could see little water gliders skating over the surface of the water, jumping around the shallows. The environment was particularly quiet and peaceful today. The tip of a tentacle peeked up lazily above the surface of the lake, causing her giggle slightly and wave to the Giant Squid, though she knew it couldn't currently see her... or could it?

XXXEonaria tugged her winter cloak out of her bag. It seemed quite out of place, considering the season, but she folded it up into a neat square before dropping it onto the grass and sitting down on it. So... seedlings! Right. She set an armful of mini pots on the grass, arranging them into neat rows. Eonaria began digging, taking the time to careful remove the seedling from the pot with all of its roots to not damage it.

XXXOnce the first seedling was nestled safely in the first hole, she patted the dirt back into place. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to water them or not, but she had brought her water bottle just for this. Eonaria poured a bit of water over the little seedling until the dirt was suitable damp but not soaked. Perfect! She beamed, moving on to the next seedling.

XXXEonaria started humming, enjoying the breeze that ruffled her hair, though she had to brush it out of her face every now and then. The sun rose higher in the sky, beaming down on the freshly-planted little green sprouts of ferns, sedges and wildflowers.

XXXEonaria made sure that each plant was spaced out properly, though not too far away. As she worked, her thoughts drifted. I wonder if we could plant algae in the Great Lake... Each leaf that peeked up from the dirt was delicate, some of them curled, some of them sticking up. It's so green!! I love it! She beamed, standing up and stepping back to admire her work so far. She giggled, clasping her hands together in front of her chest. She wasn't sure why, but this felt so good. Eonaria was about halfway through her supply of seedlings, and it seemed to be going quite well. Her back was beginning to hurt, though. I'm old...! She felt giddy, much happier than she had been for a few weeks. Eonaria continued working with a smile on her face, treating each seedling gently.

XXXBy the time she finished, the sun was almost directly above her, and there was a good patch of land between the lake and the forest filled with little sproutlings. Eonaria beamed with pride before suddenly frowning, looking over the area. The seedlings were still quite tiny, close to the ground. They blended in with the ground, so... what if someone stepped on them?! She paled slightly, looking around. She couldn't exactly put up a warning sign, could she?? Eonaria hesitated, starting to pack up her cloak and water bottle. Hopefully other people heard about the errand and were aware of the fact that there would be baby plants all around the grounds and greenhouses.
