Fragrant Greenhouse
After a long day of blending perfume, you set a time to meet Vyn at the floral greenhouse so he can teach you about the flowers used to make fragrances.
The greenhouse remains brightly lit as evening nears. It's as if you can still feel the residual heat of the sun through the glass walls.
Vyn stands among the rose bushes, seemingly deep in thought. You walk toward him, slightly curious.
You: (There are at least dozens of kinds of flowers here.)
You: (I remember Sanchez saying that the flowers here are all rare varieties that he painstakingly bred over the years... No wonder their scent is so potent.)
As you take in the floral aroma, it's as if your mind is rejuvenated, and your steps become lighter.
Vyn seems to pick up on this change and walks toward you with a smile in his eyes.
As the gorgeous warm sunlight shines down through the roof, you are seemingly drawn into Vyn's golden eyes. Everything looks so gentle.
Vyn: You are here.
You: Yeah, the flowers here are so pretty. I could smell them from far away too. I guess that's to be expected from specially bred flowers.
Vyn: Let me show you around and tell you about them.
You: All right.
As you walk along the path among the flowers, Vyn gives a brief introduction of each flower you pass.
Vyn explains patiently as you listen carefully, occasionally nodding in agreement.
Vyn: This type of rose only blooms once every year. It has a double bloom and is rich in nutrients, making it perfect for producing essential oil...
Vyn: But even a unique rose like this produces a relatively small amount of oil.
Vyn: On the other hand, lavender essential oil is easier to extract...
Perhaps because you are unable to absorb so much information in such a short amount of time, your attention slowly shifts from what Vyn is saying to his face.
You: (...This eyeglass chain looks so elegant on Vyn.)
Vyn: Is everything all right?
Not long after your mind begins to wander, Vyn notices the change in your gaze, waiting for your explanation with a smile in his eyes.
You: Ah... sorry!
You: I... just spaced out for a second.
Vyn: That is not your fault. It is normal to feel tired after taking in so much new knowledge in a short period.
At this moment, you also notice signs of weariness on Vyn's face that he can't hide.
You: (He's been working so hard lately...)
You: Vyn, do you want to take a break?
Vyn: Hmm?
As Vyn looks at you, puzzled, you sit on a bench and motion for him to lie down on your lap.
Vyn: You might not be very comfortable if I rest there.
You sense a slight hesitation in Vyn's tone, but you can hear the excitement concealed within it.
You: It's all right. Just rest your head on me—I'll be fine.
At your insistence, Vyn gently rests his head on your lap, fearing he might trouble you.
He looks up at you, reaching up and gently caressing your face.
Vyn: Then... I will just rest for a bit.
You: All right.
Perhaps because he is too tired, Vyn falls asleep shortly after.
Looking down at him sleeping peacefully, a wave of fatigue hits you before you know it...
Fragrant Greenhouse
As the sun falls, the floral greenhouse slowly grows colder.
When you wake up, you are already leaning on Vyn. The floral greenhouse is quiet at night, and you can't help thinking about the time you saw him deep in thought here before.
You: Vyn, were you looking at the flowers before I came? I remember... you looked like you'd been staring at the roses for a long time...
Vyn: Yes... I was picking out flowers. I am planning on making some homemade essential oils for my perfume.
Vyn: What about you? It is not often you get to be a perfumer. Are you interested in making essential oils?
You: Definitely!
Vyn: All right, then we can choose some flowers you like to make essential oil with. Which of these flowers do you like the best?
You: I'll pick the rose you were staring at for a long time. I think... it's a lot like the roses planted in your garden.
Vyn: ...You think so?
You: Yeah.
You: Actually... to tell you the truth, the roses in your garden are more beautiful.
You: But the roses here have a more potent fragrance, and they're bigger. Roses like that are probably better for making essential oil.
Vyn: ...
Vyn: Okay... It can take a while to make essential oil. How about we begin preparing everything now?
You: Sure.
Thanks to Vyn's guidance, you end up with a batch of floral essential oils that belong only to the two of you...
