[Shiny New Handheld Device] [Video]

[Klaus appears on screen, looking decidedly frazzled. He's in his gardening apron, his hair is disheveled holding a spade. Behind him is the greenhouse which is a veritable wall of, well, green. And brightly coloured flowers.]

My word, has anyone else experienced a sudden surge of plant life? These should not be as far along as they are - half these seeds I only just planted a week ago.

There is quite an abundance of... well, everything, so I would be delighted to give away any potted plants to anyone interested. Also - [and here he gives a bewildered sidelong glance to his left] - zucchini. I'm honestly not sure how as I never planted any, but there is a mountain of zucchini if you like that sort of thing.

[She smiles at him, gently stroking the edges of the petals.]

They do. You have a practiced eye.

[purered]

You are most gracious to say so.

[He beamed, going just a bit red in the ears.]

I included instructions for their care as well. Please, let me know if you need them re-potted.

[inkulcation]

I'm not in the habit of idle flattery, my dear.

[It's the faintest bit dismissive. China means what she says to him, in her way.]

How thoughtful of you. I shall.

[purered]

No you are not. Which is all the more reason to appreciate your kind words.

[He gave a small bow. The dismissive tone was enough to tell him his welcome had come to an end.]

Do take care.

[inkulcation]

Hm.

[China gives him a very small smile. It's more genuine than most.]

Of course. I'll see you again, my dear. Perhaps for tea?
