[font=trebuchet ms]Ever since the incident with Caesar... she hadn't been able to tend to the greenhouse while she was recovering, the way she had been before. Before the festival she'd made plans to set up signs, designate clearer plots for each species of plant, and generally reorganize the greenhouse in a more effective manner. None of that had been feasible to do while lying in bed, naturally, and even after that, getting everything back in order with Elysium had put the greenhouse in the back of her mind.
Sometime in the first few days, within the blur of blood loss and betrayal, she'd asked someone from the sea town to take care of the greenhouse until she was able to recover. She forgot who, exactly, she'd made the request of, but given that she hadn't heard anything since... they had probably left. The greenhouse was almost definitely taken up by weeds, after this long.
The weeds weren't going to pull themselves, though, so Rin figured she might as well take care of things now. Approaching the greenhouse, however, she could see Aurum sitting on the ground, next to a large pile of weeds- along with Hebi and Clony. Convenient.
Looking over at Clony, Rin clarified, "The torn-up plants are weeds. They stop the herbs and other useful plants from growing properly, so they need to be removed." With a shrug, she walked over to the bed of what had once been mostly tansy, now coiled up with weeds. "We can probably set up a bonfire to burn the weeds later, but we'd need to construct a proper fire pit first."
Reaching down with one paw, she carefully untangled the green shoots from the actual tansy stems, and plucked their roots from the ground. It was slow work, to be sure, but in time the greenhouse would be looking much better. Glancing back at Hebi and Clony, she added, "I think it might be easiest if we all worked on the same plant bed, completely clearing out one bed at a time before moving onto the next one. But it's up to you two."
