Sophie's eyes were closed at first, but the place where she was sleeping started to feel harder under her back. She could hear the soft trickling of water nearby. Water..? But why would water be indoors? Her eyes slid open.

She wasn't indoors at all. She was outside lying on her back. The smell of the grass and flowers tickled her nose. How did she get out here? She couldn't remember. Sophie puzzled over this while still lying on her back.

Comments

[fluthlu]

There is a dry, mildly amused voice from a few feet to Sophie's left.

"I'm sure the flowers would prefer if you didn't lie on them. Seems a bit like counterproductive gardening."

Rose has paused next to the garden, observing the unusual sight. She's all wrapped up in a scarf and headed out to find a perfectly silent place to finish reading her book, her two cats trailing at her feet. The book in her hands is thick, bound in black leather, and looks like it might give you nightmares on contact.

[protosshaze]

Sophie blinked at the voice, sitting up so she could look at this person better. She didn't recognize the girl at all, but her words made Sophie glance to make sure the flowers were okay. None of them seemed damaged, which was a good thing.

"This isn't Asbel's garden," she observed. "Is it yours?"

[fluthlu]

"Not at all. It's public." She eyes Sophie carefully, starting to get the idea that this girl doesn't quite know where she is. Wouldn't be the first time.

In the meantime, the two cats at Rose's feet make their merry way over to the flowerbed. Here's to hoping that Sophie isn't allergic.

[protosshaze]

A public garden? Where was she, anyway? Sophie was about to ask when she saw the cats. Carefuly she reached out a hand toward them. They clearly weren't the type that could transport her to Katz Village, but their fur was soft and they made wonderful purring noises when Sophie petted them.

[fluthlu]

Rose's smirk turns into a gentle smile at last, and she walks over to the flowerbed, picking up the smaller kitten while the larger one continues to sniff at Sophie.

"Judging from your confusion I'd say that you aren't quite familiar with your surroundings?"

[protosshaze]

Sophie responded with a shake of her head. "Do you know where we are?" she asked the other girl.

[fluthlu]

"I'm afraid that you aren't going to care for the answer." Rose gestures up at the castle. "You're in Paradisa."

I couldn't decide which character to throw at her, so I went with both.

Tsuna had been taking a walk when he noticed something very out of place in the Garden. It took him a moment to realize it was a person. Uncertain if they were asleep, he crept closer to get a better look, and found that her eyes were open.

"Hey, um... are you alright?"

Yes good

[protosshaze]

Sophie blinked ath the strange boy. What was he doing here, she wondered?

"Yes," she answered. "I'm all right." She rose up to her feet and smiled at the boy.

I thought so too

[not_mafia]

"Oh, okay. Um, sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you or anything."

He definitely doesn't remember seeing her before, however, and the voice doesn't seem all that familiar, either, so he continues to regard her with curious eyes.

[protosshaze]

Sophie stared right back at the boy. But then her eyes wandered around the garden. It was definitely not Asbel's garden in Lhant.

"Is this your garden?" she asked the boy.

[not_mafia]

The staring makes him slightly nervous, but he relaxes when she moves her attention to the flowers around her.

"Huh? Uh, no. I don't think it really belongs to anyone."

[protosshaze]

Sophie thought about this for a moment. "But who takes care of the flowers?"

[circleoflife]

"It's a bit chilly to be napping outside, young one."

Mufasa stands not too far from the garden, offering a gentle smile in Sophie's direction. He's allowed some berth between them, lest she were one of the residents who were unused to talking lions.

[protosshaze]

Oh. Sophie never encountered a talking lion before. But this one didn't seem dangerous. There was something soothing about his deep voice. She held out her hand for him. Some animals liked to smell people before they got close.

"Hello. My name is Sophie," she said.

[circleoflife]

Amused by the offering, Mufasa takes a step forward, extending his neck so that her hand settled atop his muzzle.

"And I am Mufasa. A pleasure to meet you, Sophie."

[protosshaze]

She liked the feel of his fur against her fingers. She broke out into a bright smile and started petting him.

"Your fur is so soft, Mufasa. How come?"

[circleoflife]

He chuckles at the question; it's not exactly one he'd gotten before.

"I do wonder. Perhaps that is simply one of the benefits of being a lion."

[protosshaze]

"That's amazing!" She petted the lion a little bit more. "Is this castle full of lions?"

[inafadingcrown]

"Enjoy it while you may; it is like to be too cold for such things soon."

It's already a bit chilly, but not so enough to keep the elf indoors. Galadriel is sitting under a nearby tree, a cloak about her shoulders and a book in her hands.

[protosshaze]

Sophie blinked up at the woman; she'd never seen anyone so tall before. This woman was even taller than the captain. Sophie studied her in awe.

"Is it easier for you to pick apples, too?" she asked.

[inafadingcrown]

It took Galadriel a moment to realize that it was a comment on her height, but when she did, she laughed softly.

"I suppose it is, little one."

[protosshaze]

"Wow." Sophie rose so she could gaze at this lady better. "Do you live in the castle?" she asked. This lady looked like the sort who would live in a castle.

[inafadingcrown]

"For the moment." She gave Sophie a curious look. "You have just arrived, I take it."

[protosshaze]

"Yes, I did." She wondered if it was common for people to wake up in the garden here. The flowers looked okay, though. That was a relief.
