[font=trebuchet ms]On any other day, Rin might have been visibly surprised at Tena's response. At the moment, all she could muster was a slight twitch of the ear. Lavi, of course, was a reasonable explanation for why Tena was looking around in here... and coincidentally he wanted chamomile. Convenient.
"It's right here," she answered after a moment, twitching her tail in the direction of the white flowers, but not making any move to look at it. The urge to tack on a self-deprecating comment about how long she'd been staring at it rose in her throat, but she forced it down. This was not the day to indulge in seeking pity. She could hazard a guess as to what Lavi wanted with the chamomile- it was a common component in tea, particularly useful for calming nerves- but this wasn't the time for speculation either. If Tena didn't have a guess that she thought to be worth sharing, then Rin definitely wouldn't.
Moving aside so as not to block Tena's path to the chamomile, Rin shook her head. "I'll take some time to label the plants this week," she said, tugging at her scarf with one paw. Come to think of it, she wasn't sure why she hadn't done it before- it would have saved a couple long trips to the greenhouse to assist with identification. Oh, well. It was something she could do without having to think too terribly hard, but still enough to distract her from more harmful trains of thought- perfect to do now, in her current state.
