Pov: Flora Evergreen, Daughter of Ceres
actions
"speech"
thoughts
The warm, gentle, summer breeze tugged it's way through Flora's hair and the delightful smell that emitted from the fields was thrust into Flora's senses, taking a deep whiff, she left out a pleasurable sigh. Nothing better then the smell of flowers.. She thought, gently picking one of the many sunflowers around her, spinning it's stem between her fingers. Staring at the flowers vibrant yellow corollas. A wide grin appeared on her face, as she usually glowed in the presence of plants. They gave her a sense of peace, and reminded her of her father, in a good way of course. She was not homesick, at all. Of course she missed her father, but she had begun a new adventure in her life, one not many people got to experience. Therefore I will cherish it! Her mind shot optimistically. Finally taking action, she picked as many flowers as she needed to make about five flower crowns. Having a small woven basket to carry the flowers in, she carried the large amount over to a single oak tree, the wind causing the treetops to rustle, an inviting sound that Flora loved. Another beautiful sound of nature. Surrounding the tree, was a large circle of just grass, sunflowers lined on the outer rim of the circle, making it a nice place to sit down. Sitting down in the shade of the tree, she rolled up the sleeves to her one size to big sweater, which usually covers all the way up to mid way up her fingers, so she usually had her fingers peeking out. Having her sleeves rolled up comfortably, she sat up against the tree, enjoying the shade it provided, setting the basket down to her right. Her legs sprawled out to her left.
Humming a tune, she began to take the flowers carefully out of the basket and to construct her flower crowns, which she'd later give out to campers. In doing so, she usually got picked on by fellow girl campers, and guys just gave her weird looks. She tried not to mind, as maybe they were allergic to sunflowers, but somewhere, deep in the back of her mind, she knew she was just coming up with excuses for the way they treated her.

I was scheduled to go around and check up on the list of new campers until you e been here for a year your were required to check up with a centurion lettin them know how your sty at camp has been. I was filling in for the 5th cohort centurion for they were sick. I had made it all the way to the last name on the list. I looked at it and have a huge sigh. It was Flora. The others around camp tended to make fun of her and call her Freaky Flora. I had heard rumors that she actually ha conversations with the plants. But whether it was true or not. I had to suck it up and do my job. Who knows maybe she wouldn't be as freaky as everyone told me she was. As I walked to the sunflower fields where she was most likely to be found and I put on my best smile and turned on the Venus charm.
"Um. Hey Frea... I mean Flora. I dont know if you know me or not but im Carter. Im filling in for your cohort centurion.
Despite the things I had heard she was actually quite pretty. Gorgeous even. If it weren't for the clothes one would guess she was the daughter of Venus.
"So How are things going today?"

Flora had just been near done with her first flower crown when she was approached by a fellow camper. This of course, made her overjoyed just to simply be approached. It was nice for her, considering she was the one who always had to approach others for socialization, and even then she was given the stink eye followed by a cold shoulder. It didn't even cross Flora's mind, that this camper was only here on camp business, and would otherwise simply walk past, not even uttering a word.
Flora cocked her head to the side, as the boy, Carter, introduced himself. The gesture made it quite evident she didn't have the pleasure of meeting him before, or knowing who he was, but soon, a look of recognition dawned on her features.
"Ah, so you're the Carter all of the girls are talking about.." She said softly, without much thought of how this sentence, if the other girls found out, could cause some embarrassment, but then again, she was giving any specific names. At this time, Flora finally took time to scope out who she was talking to. His eyes were quite charming, and the only part Flora payed much attention to. Yes, he had nice, soft looking hair, a handsome face, but eyes were Flora's favorite aspects in people. I must agree with his fangirls, he is quite handsome. She thought simply, before finishing up her last flower crown.
"Oh, quite lovely. Nothing could go wrong on such a nice day," Flora beamed, looking over the countless amounts of sunflowers. The smell was rather enchanting. Having finished up her flower crown, she looked back up at him, gave a wide grin, and held out her finished masterpiece, "Flower crown?"
(Ooh, Freaky Flora. I like it. XD)

I looked at her and smiled. Maybe she wasn't so freaky. She was nice I will say that. When she said that all of the girls talk about me I blushed but stopped almost instantly because She started to stare directly into my eyes. I don't know what it was but it was calming.
"Well that's good to hear. So you have no problems with anything at camp. Good."
I said as I checked her name off of the clipboard. I looked up to her as she offered me a sunflower crown.
"We'll sure. Why not. It's quite beautiful actually. And I have a sunflower shirt that would go perfectly with it."
I reached up and put my hair into a ponytail so that it would not get tangled up into the flower crown. I then put the crown on my head. And tilted it a little.
"How do I look madam."
I asked as I gave a little bow.

Flora was filled with glee, as someone, finally, someone had accepted her crown for once. It was hurtful every time she was rejected, some even stamped on the simple, yet beautiful headband. That, was the worst part. When people mistreated the flowers. Maybe it's because she was a botanists daughter, or a daughter of Ceres, but when she saw plants being horribly mistreated, it irked her dearly. At least when she took the flowers for her crowns, she left markers where they were from and would use her powers to help them replenish. Besides, when making the crowns, she treated them with the upmost respect.
"Of course it's beautiful. It's nature! And a sunflower shirt? Now that's fashion." Flora exclaimed, showing off a broad grin, trying to give an aura of friendliness. I hate to admit it, but since I've been at camp, this is probably the longest I've been able to socialize with someone. The more sensible and less oblivious part (that she paid no heed to, mind you,) of her wondered if he only complied out of pity, or because it was a job of Centurion, or maybe because no one else was around. He was popular in fact, and talking to someone of Flora's caliber was social suicide.
Flora let out a chuckle when Carter played along, giving him two thumbs up, she said, "Like a prince!"

I laughed an flashed yet another smile. This girl was actually pretty cool. I sat down. In the middle of the sunflowers and pat the area next to me motioning for Flora to sit down.
"So Flora if we're going to befriends then we need to know each other right? How about you tell me about yourself."
I figured that now that my work for the day was done I could get to know her a little bit more. I had nothing else planned for the day. And considering how other campers treated her I assumed flora didn't either.

Flora returned the smile, but was genuinely taken aback as Carter sat down, clearing indicating that he was going to stay longer in Flora's presence. She almost exclaimed in surprise when he even talked about the two being friends. This would be her first friend at camp. Someone who didn't finally look through her like she wasn't there. Or, even worse, that she was unicorn poop on the bottom of their shoes. Being acknowledged like this was a true blessing. Not that she considered herself completely lonely, she had nature and it's inhabitants, and the friendly Fauns. Flora wasn't expecting to get anymore surprised then she was, but she was shocked to find out she was wrong. Carter wants to know about me? Now that's something I don't get asked often. Compiling, she scooted over to where Carter was and sat across from him, peering into his light blue eyes that were being reflected perfectly in the setting sun.
Finally positioned, she took no time at all to start talking, "Well, I didn't exactly grow up around a lot of other kids, in fact, I never met any other kids my age until I arrived here. That's because my fathers a botanist, someone who studies plants, and we were sent out to live on a small, uncharted, island with jungle vegetation." She paused, reminiscing the beautiful island that she once called home, but a thought that had never occurred to her came, Will i ever see it again..? Her face momentarily fell, but she remembered almost instantly that she was in the presence of company. Pulling her optimism back out, a smile reappearing, "So yeah, I've been a little secluded. I can't say I'm all up to date with technology either.."

Well. Honestly speaking we were sort of similar. I also didnt grow up near a lot o kids. I was mostly surrounded my movie stars and agents. It was pretty scary for a kid out in Hollywood.
"Yeah. I totally feel for you. My dad is a movie star on a show called 'Love God' and well I never really had a normal childhood. I've always been surrounded by Hollywood adults. So yeah we're similar but total opposites. But hey opposites attract huh?"
I said with a smile on my face. But on the inside I was super sad. I hated talking about my dad I hadn't seen him in so long now that even thinking about him made me year up. I was on the verge of tearing until I looked at Flora and saw her reassuring smile.
"So umm. What about your friends back at home. Do you Kiss...... I uh mean miss them"
I said blushing. What was going on I've never acted this way before.

Flora watched as Carter's facial expressions drastically changed, the further he got into his tale, the sadder, the droopier his face became. It made her frown, but quickly turned back into a passive smile. She was afraid that if she frowned or showed sadness herself, she might drag his mood down even more. She didn't want to ruin the whole conversation. It was probably a good thing that she'd never watched TV as she'd probably exclaim how cool his Dad was, which would once again, probably drop his mood. Is..Is he tearing up? Flora could have sworn that she saw tears pooling up, but with a blink, it was gone. If it was even there to begin with.
Flora being pretty oblivious, she completely missed Carter's slip up. Call her stupid, but she did get a little spacey sometimes. Even if she did notice it, she wouldn't have thought twice about it. After all kiss and miss do sound similar. She'd dismiss it as a common mistake. She gave a light laugh, "If by friends you mean monkeys, then yes. I miss those furry little guys."
Flora raised a brow, and cocked her head slightly to the side, observing Carter. He's red.. She thought, concerned. Again, growing up completely isolated from others, well, she'd never experienced anything like this. Although it may make her seem idiotic, she hardly knew what blushing was. Being a medic, she saw getting red a sign of fever or illness. She leaned forward, closing the space between her and Carter. She sat like that, idle, observing him before slapping a hand onto his forehead, "You're getting red.. Do you have any headaches?" She asked innocently, seriously thinking he was coming down with fever. "Do you feel weak at all?" From this close, Flora could feel Carters breath on her, but paid no heed to how he may feel awkward with her so close. She didn't do well with personal boundaries. She grew up in a touchy feely kind of home, so this was nothing.

I sat up a little straighter than I was siting before. I then began to hiccup. Something that I wasn't proud of. When I started to hiccup it was normally because I was nervous. But it didnt happen often and it didnt happen as badly as I was hiccuping now. I knew why I was hiccuping. But it didnt help at all. She thought that I was sick. So this probably took things from bad to worse.
"No no I'm fine really. I've just uh got some allergies. Yeah allergies. That's all that it is."
I looked up at her hand on my forehead. And I blushed even more. Gods I needed to get myself together.
I bet if anyone was looking now I'd look more like the freaky one. A red hiccuping freak.

Flora raised a brow at the noise. At first, she thought it was an animal, or anything besides the boy standing, or rather sitting, in front of her. Giving a massive look of confusion, she pulled away from him, retreating and putting distance between the two once more. When Carter explained that it was all due to allergies, Flora flipped.
"Don't tell me you're allergic to sunflowers?" Her eyes widened, gazing up at the crown she made him, "Oh my golly! I'm killing you! Why didn't you tell me?" She was clearly starting to go way over her head, presuming that by giving him the crown she had handed him a ticking time bomb that couldn't be disarmed or taken off. She didn't even think reasonably, that he'd just sat down in sunflowers to his own will. She was definitely loosing her marbles over this.

I shook my head to let her know that I was alright. I had a really strange feeling. It was nice to see her care so much for someone that she just met. Well I guess she was just a naturally caring person. There were t many of those kind of people here at camp especially my brothers and sisters.
"I'm not allergic to sunflowers it must be something else in the air. But trust me I'm fine now see. My allergies are completely gone now. But it was nice of you to care. Really. So look I've got to go get my cohort ready for inspections. So I guess that I should go now but we should definitely ha g out again sometime huh?"
I asked her. As I said goodbye. I leaned in for an awkward hug.

Flora gave the all too familiar head to the side bit, His allergies have already subsided..? She only questioned it for a few moments before shrugging it off, not giving it a second thought.
"Well that's good. I'll see you around." She gave a cheeky grin and was about to offer her hand but noticed him leaning in, she gave herself a mental shrug and gave him a friendly hug, giving him a good pat on the back.
(Sorry, kind of a crummy post. Ugh. Anyway, if you'd like to post a response to this, go ahead, but I'll go and close it up.)
