‣ greenhouse

@☘︎┊nie leo ᵃ Sabrina let out a faint hum as she stared up at the door that lead to the greenhouse. She was busy exploring all of the different places in the academy wanting to know we're everything is. She was more than thrilled when finding out that the academy even had a greenhouse. Pushing the doors open She stepped inside with her heels loudly clicking against the stone pathway as she headed down it.

"Oh wow..." She muttered at the lushush greenery. Moving to lightly graze her fingers over a couple leaves as if examining them. That was until she hear the sound of someone else being around which caused her to jump lightly in shock and look around her surroundings for the source. "Hello?"

@☘︎┊nie yiren ᵒ "woah that's pretty nice that you wish to learn about those things. i can totally get you affiliated with burn salves and pastes! i don't mind that on bit haha. sounds like a good time if you ask me and quite educational - I think I always talk my friends ears off by these things, but they don't vibe with it like I do. so it'll be nice to have someone to bond over these things with." she grins a little before laughing in amusement. "noted ma'am what type of cookies do you enjoy a lot hm? so I can of course, keep note." she chuckles a bit and nods firmly. "of course! you can call me joyi or joy whenever you wish! just to keep up the face and pretenses in the school chats I guess or around other professors is all heh- I love rennie, that's so adorable, nickname by someone close to you also?" she asks curiously while looking at the other herbs and a soft hum emits. "do you also dabble with plants? like florals too or just herbs?" glancing at the younger, her eyes widen and she chuckles softly. "that's a pretty intriguing set of powers miss ma'am, interesting too since I am also plant manipulation haha and weekend is perfect! i am free majority of those times. so we can have a day yeah?"

@☘︎┊nie sooyoung ᵃ Yiren smiled happily, inspecting the plant before she gave it to the other. "Hmmm... Well... If you know something about healing... Could you teach me some basics? Like... Burn salves, and pastes and such?" She questioned. "Or cookies... I take cookies as payment too." She laughed softly. Miss Sooyoung... Got it! But quietly I can call you Joy? Awesome! I go by either Yiren or Rennie." She looked at the other and stretched a little bit. "It's one of them. I have Biokinesis and Plant Manipulation." She wiggled excitedly when she said Yiren could visit her garden. "That would be amazing! Is a weekend okay?"

@☘︎┊nie yiren ᵒ glancing as yiren searched for the rosemary plant, it was as if sooyoung's heart was lodged in , beating sporadically - a nervous tick of hers. it's a reaction she had due to waiting for the verdict with bated breath and oh so finally, she was pleased when the plant was shown. "oh my! thank you dear haha, this is so nice of you, can I repay you in any way possible for this?" her eyes soften as she takes the rosemary plant and I take a small whiff from the plant and I peek over at you curiously before smiling thoughtfully. "maybe for my job purposes during school hours or at my office, in front of others, miss sooyoung or miss nie? but outside and out and about, seeing as we're in the same clan and i'd definitely be keen on befriending another plant and herbs lover - you can call me joy." she offers with a cheeky smile before laughing as she nods firmly. "wait, your gift is healing?" joy asks curiously, tipping her head to the side as she holds the plant and brush her fingers over the plant leaves slowly with a small smile. "you can visit anytime after school hours, since I'm usually busy and pack matters too so maybe... we can schedule for when I'm free and you too?"

@☘︎┊nie sooyoung ᵃ Yiren hummed softly, looking through her herbs. "Rosemary, rosemary..." She mused. She picked up a plant, smiling. "I do! Here!" She held it out towards her fellow Nie. "Thank you! I take pride it in. Would you rather I call you Joy or Sooyoung?" She smiled, reaching out to shake the Nie's hand. "I'll definitely keep that in mind. I always have questions. I can never stop learning my craft. I've been learning since I was young how to heal." Her jaw dropped. "Oh my gosh! I would love to visit your garden! That sounds amazing!"

@☘︎┊nie yiren ᵒ "oh wow really? do you keep herbs growing here? do you by chance have a plant of rosemary I can use?" sooyoung asks softly, eyeing the array of herbs that this kid has going and she smiles warmly at that. pleased to see a fellow nie such as herself, having such passions - just as she does. "they're very gorgeous yiren-ah, I am sooyoung, but funny enough, you mentioned joy and my nickname is joy, given by my father. I'm the school medical counselor- if you ever need anyone, any advice, any problems arising, do be sure to come to seek me out yeah?" the woman offers with a small grin on her lips, a bit too pleased finding another from her clan - however, yiren face doesn't look familiar, but now she would make it her mission to keep the youth close enough at least. "it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance dear yiren," offering a slender hand her way, she flashed a warm smile once more. "I also have a botanical garden at home - if you're interested and want to learn about new herbs and plants and medicine purposes, I usually make a lot of potions and concoctions and teas for the students and faculty alike to use. i'd love to learn from you and teach you little knick knacks I may know as well."

@☘︎┊nie sooyoung ᵃ Yiren jumped slightly when someone called out to her. She turned, met with similar green eyes to her. A fellow Nie, an alpha female. She smiled warmly. "Hi~! I was just checking on my herbs and such... I'm growing herbs to make a healing paste..." She mused, gesturing to her pots of herbs. "They are my pride and joy right now!" She fixed her appearance, smiling towards the woman. "I'm Yiren~. I'm taking Wild Medicine here at the Academy~ I'm a second year."

@☘︎┊nie yiren ᵒ ()since it's shorter I can get to it yay.

Sooyoung wasn't busy today due to counseling sessions being null and void, her eyes roam around the greenhouse at the premises located at fenrir academy. She has her own botanical garden back at the towers, but she wanted to roam around the area — wondering if she could find any herbs she may not have back home. Trying to find a new rosemary plant to pot, since she ran out. That's when she spots a student lurking around, unfamiliar to her for the time bur upon taking a whiff, she knew all to well its an alpha and nie blood at that. Causing her emerald orbs to react as she calls out with a warm, sweet smile. "Hello dear?"

Yiren hummed softly, walking into the greenhouse. She was more than certain she'd be alone here. As she's never seen too many people here all at once. "Mmmm... Oh good... My herbs are growing nicely." She said softly to herself. "This will do perfectly for a healing paste..." Her voice was quite proud. She knew she could rush the growing process, which she gave it a jumpstart... But she liked watching them grow naturally.

@❀┊jiang chaewon ᵒ Yeonjun didn’t even bother looking at her at first. He kept his attention on the fern he’d been tracing with his fingers, the faint rustle of its leaves far more deserving of his focus than the words spilling from . When he finally turned his mismatched gaze toward her, the sharpness in his crimson eye and the dull indifference of the brown one struck like a wall of ice—impenetrable, unyielding, and utterly cold. “You think this will fix what happened earlier?” he said, his voice low and detached, as though he were addressing a particularly tedious problem. “That standing here, stammering out an apology, will somehow erase the fact that you acted like a rude, disrespectful little girl? Spare me.” His eyes swept over her, not with curiosity or concern, but with a cutting, clinical detachment that bordered on disdain. “This isn’t an apology. It’s damage control. You made yourself look like a fool, and now you’re scrambling to salvage what’s left of your pride. Do you even realize how transparent you are?”

He gave a quiet, humorless laugh, the sound so faint it barely registered, and yet it carried an edge sharp enough to cut. “If you had any real remorse, you wouldn’t be standing here now, trying to save face. You’d have had the decency to keep your mouth shut in the first place. But I suppose self-awareness isn’t your strong suit, is it?” Yeonjun turned his head slightly, his attention flickering back to the plants, as though even the act of acknowledging her had begun to bore him. “Do you even know how pathetic you look right now? Or are you too caught up in your own need to justify yourself to notice?” He shifted slightly, his coat brushing against the foliage with a faint whisper of fabric, and exhaled a slow breath, his expression unmoved. “I don’t need your apology. I don’t care about your excuses or whatever feeble attempt at redemption you think this is. If you thought for a second this would matter to me, you’ve only proven how little you understand.”Without another glance in her direction, Yeonjun began to move past her, his voice trailing after him, as cold and final as a door slamming shut. “Next time, don’t waste my time—or yours.”

@☼┊wen yeonjun ᵃ the greenhouse was an escape for the young rebel, skipping classes check - daylight drinking check - pissing off others, such a wen mentality she still has locked deep within her roots after all; check. she couldn't help but scoff under her breath at the conversation that happened prior with this yeonjun person on the chat. she's slowly sobering up as she makes her way over to the greenhouse, frankly, it's one of her favorite spots. this was the first spot she hung out with both aeri and taehyung when they all decided to escape classes for a stress-free time between the trio. she suddenly misses them as she walks on over towards her usual spot, the blooming tree that's on the far right as she sways a little with the wind. chaewon's frame was rather small in stature and she could've been gone with the wind with a gust of air being blown - she was that frail.

something that has upset her over time, but her passion, dedication, and combat skills showed another side of not judging a book by its cover. her slender physique assisted in skills such as being quick on her feet, and moving swiftly and stealthily as time goes on. she has learned a great deal in her sessions during combat training. but her essential skills - well... sighing deeply, the implications of exams upcoming hung heavy on her mind, added to other things that have been bothering her, considering her newfound family. her brother, for instance, the family drama never seems to let up. their father idolizing chaewon compared to seonghwa was off-putting, to say the least, and the professor didn't wish to act it out on chaewon and express his hurt and discomfort, yet...

her mind was running miles, round and round and she almost stumbled into another, her eyes blinking blearily as her ears twitched a little at the soft voice and her nostrils flared as sandalwood with a hint of vanilla and bourbon filled the air. her senses going into overdrive and she knew without even seeing the person that it was an alpha. her hair stood on the ends but she tried not to react too quickly. chaewon despised the majority of alphas around fenrir, always acting as if they were on top of everyone and everyone else should bow down to them and listen. she couldn't help but mumble a soft apology for bumping into the male and she stood back a little before bowing her head and that's when her eyes glanced over at the male's features. furrowing her brows, chaewon knew he was familiar but somehow she couldn't place it right away.

"sorry for that. I'm clumsy and not too well," she quipped and flashed a tight smile, before clearing and glancing at the ferns that his fingers were lightly grazing over and it was then that she had that one 'aha!' moment. her eyes widening and her jaw tightening, her stomach sinking, and her nerves bubbling up tenfold, choking her and holding her hostage as her omega cowered behind briefly. then she slowly turned to face the male as she realized just who she had to bump into. out of everyone, it had to be him - the one she ed up with just moments prior. even though the conversation did sober her up a lot, she had some water and a bite to eat, the pastry in her hand still as she slowly and meekly took another bite out of it. her behavior is by far the usual feisty mentality she wears proudly around others. something about offending the stranger made her feel pretty guilty and terrible in the end. blame it on the jiang clan and their ways.

so instead, chaewon takes a deep, long breath, bowing in a perfect 90 degree angle - or what she assume to be as her body wobble slightly and she tucks in a couple of blonde, stray strands behind her ear, recalling the conversation and wincing a bit. "I.. am sorry...yeonjun-ssi..." her eyes are tightly clasped shut and she knew with him being wen alone - would lead to this being quite disastrous and ugly, but chaewon is not the type of person to just leave matters unattended. worse yet, if she knows she's wrong - which even if her pride is being swallowed whole - she had to admit she was in the wrong and genuinely apologize to the male.

@❀┊jiang chaewon ᵒ [] sure, I don’t mind. Lol

@☼┊wen yeonjun ᵃ [] asking permission first since this has to do with the encounter >< can I reply this? :pray:

The greenhouse on campus was a haven of stillness, the kind of place where even the air seemed to hum with quiet restraint. Yeonjun stepped inside, the glass doors closing softly behind him, sealing off the faint noise of the outside world. The humidity pressed against his skin, carrying the mingled scents of damp soil and blooming flowers. It was a pleasant enough atmosphere, though Yeonjun’s expression remained unchanged, his features cool and composed as always. He moved between the rows of greenery with unhurried precision, his sharp eyes sweeping over the orderly chaos of plants without lingering on any one thing for too long. His coat shifted lightly with his movements, the muted sound of fabric brushing against leaves blending seamlessly with the faint rustle of the greenhouse. He stopped near a cluster of orchids, their vivid colors striking even in the soft, filtered light. The chatroom conversation from earlier lingered at the edges of his mind, though he pushed it aside with the same effortlessness he afforded most things that didn’t deserve his attention. The woman’s presumptuous tone, her incessant use of nicknames—Jun, of all things—had been mildly irritating in the moment. Now, though, it barely registered beyond a faint mental note of her lack of decorum.

His fingers brushed a leaf absently, the cool, waxy texture grounding him in the present. Yeon, he thought again, the corner of his mouth twitching almost imperceptibly—not quite a frown, but not a smile either. The familiarity she had assumed with him was, at best, misplaced. At worst, it was tedious. But it wasn’t worth more than a passing thought. Straightening, he adjusted the cuff of his coat, the movement fluid and deliberate. “People have odd ideas of familiarity these days,” he murmured to himself, “Some people truly lack decorum,” his voice soft, as though the words weren’t meant for anyone to hear. There was no heat in his tone, only the faintest trace of amusement at the absurdity of it all. He moved further into the greenhouse, the warm light catching on the sharp angles of his face and softening them. His scent—dark cedarwood, molten amber, and smoky leather with a faint trace of vanilla bourbon—lingered in the humid air, subtle but undeniable. He let his hand trail along a row of ferns, his mind already shifting away from the trivialities of earlier. By the time he reached the far corner of the greenhouse, he had all but dismissed the memory entirely. It was just another moment in a long day, another interaction that didn’t warrant the effort of annoyance. The plants, at least, were indifferent, and that was a quality he could appreciate.

()oh I am alive ish

Listening to taehyung and aeri converse, a small smile forms on her lips. "I've known Tae here a little, but it's pretty nice to finally meet you. I've seen you around honestly, I really love your hair." Chaewon remarks with an excited glimmer in her eyes as she peeks up at aeri and she's peeking back over at Tae, a hand easily moving to rub at his shoulder in a mild show of comfort. Aeri being too far up but chaewon continued giving her, her full attention. "What class are you both specializing/focusing on?"

( im slow too asdghsdfg )

Aeri smiled at them before looked at them. "It's nice seeing you join me, you can sit both in the bench but I'll stay up on the tree." She told her before looking at the bench near the tree, then she looked back at Taehyung, "Ah, I'm listening to heavy metal songs, sometimes hard punk." She smiled at the Wen.

[] loool take ur time both yall fr

He shot Chaewon a sweet smile upon their remeeting before turning his gaze back to Aeri, taking in her attire and the pair of headphones she'd been donning; making his way easily over to the shade once he was invited so that he could carefully seat himself on the ground beside Chaewon, "This was a good idea already," His tone was soft as he spoke, gaze tilting up to watch the way the sunlight peeked through the leaves, "Aeri what kind of music do you listen to?"

[] jesus y'all fast sdjsdkdsj i am slow ish bc watching drama too ><

a soft smile graced chaewon's brims as her eyes twinkled at the tree, her feet automatically taking her over to the cool area - just under, branches and leaves hanging over to give some shade as she gets down on the floor. her back leaning against the bark as a deep sigh elongates.
mmh - hello to both you and taehyung, it's lovely to finally meet you in person. she mumbles at aeri - but she previously knew taeh - even flashing him a small smile and a little wave of her hand. you both can sit too - there's enough space anyways and well a bench too-

Aeri finally gets to meet up with other friends she met through social media, with her wearing a black rocker hoodie, her ears were muffled with headphones and her ripped jeans she intentionally ripped because of her taste in clothing. She was listening to hard metal music before she sees the two people she chatted online, she smiled at them and puts down her headphones to her neck, "Heya! It's nice seeing you both here!" She greeted as she jumps down from the huge tree.

taehyung had made his way down to where the three had agreed to meet, dressed simply in an oversized hoodie, loose jeans and sneakers - a black and red jeweled choker around his neck. his eyes scanned the area curiously until landing on the two females and he made his way over to greet them both quietly with a soft kind smile.
hello to you both~

taking a deep breath, chaewon was more than happy to be able to escape any form of classes. she thought sleeping would be ideal - but after speaking to the two on the chat, she decided to forgo that, even the bottle of wine waiting in her room could continue waiting until tonight. emperor's smile was always delicious and she salivated at the thought but a walk and meeting the two may be even better. shoving her hands in her pockets, the girl wore a simple jeans and crop top while walking on over towards the greenhouse where she searched for the pink haired beauty with sharp eyes zooming in on her.

aeri!
