GRANDE FINALE ☆ greenhouse clearing

[wormwood.]

If there was one part of Elysium that Aurum really hadn't known about, it was the greenhouse. Although he had known that not all of Elysium's territory was just snow covered mountains, it had still seemed somewhat stunning to him to learn that they had an entirely operational greenhouse on the beach. It was especially easy to forget, considering he didn't see too many people coming or going from the decent sized building most of the time. Perhaps it was just because there weren't too many medics within Elysium, or maybe it was simply that most, like him, hadn't even known about it. Either way, one of the lion's evening walks had brought him near to the greenhouse, and he had immediately found himself enchanted. The strong scent of herbs within reminded him of Moth and Selby, and it was actually sort of comforting just to be inside. However, the scent of herbs had been abruptly cut with... something else. The smell of something unpleasant. It didn't take long to identify the wasting away and unpleasant smelling weeds that had popped up in some of the large pots and beds, and immediately he found himself recoiling. Nothing within the place would be able to grow properly with such an... infestation, so he had made a mental note to return to it, when he wasn't tired from a long day.

When the next morning had come, the lion had felt refreshed, leaving the small home that he shared with Siborno to make his way down to the beach once again. The unpleasant smell of the weeds made his nose wrinkle again, but he pushed through it, making his way to the back of the building. There, he found it – the closet full of gardening supplies. He pulled out everything he could carry, although really all he had needed was the trowel to start scooping things out of the dirt. With this in mind, it wasn't long before the large feline went over to one of the beds, beginning to scoop and dig out various rotting weeds and tossing them down in a large pile. The work wasn't easy, and he could feel himself beginning to grow more and more tired as the time passed, but he grit his teeth, trying to get through it. However, after one of the long beds was finished, the angel found himself exhausted, falling back onto his hindquarters as he inspected the large greenhouse around him. A heavy sigh left him, muttering to himself as he flicked his now incredibly dirty paws, "This is going to take forever on my own..." Part of him considered even just using his earth elementals to rip all the weeds out of the pots and beds, but he didn't want to risk tearing out the herbs and flowers as well.
