[Of course nothing is out of place. If Harmonious Song is the one who remains at the core of this nexus, her aesthetics no doubt hold some sway over how it presents.]

"Supreme perfection", wasn't it?

I can't say it would be my own inclination, but I do appreciate the commitment.

[He places the teacup and its feather in the gate's second divot, beside the rough, misshapen bowl and its fruit.]

"Hm?"

Harmonious Song looks up, a bit curious.

The teacup and feather glow a steady, sparkling gold and silver respectively.

[He nods to her, the same polite gesture he gave to Saida and Firuz.]

It was a moment of my own musings.

I've been told that your patron's domain was supreme perfection. The aesthetics of this garden mimic that -- I wondered if that might be your influence, with the time you were able to have to develop your own environments, or whether it was an echo of that divine inclination.

"Oh. Hm. Well... I suppose you could say the divinity had a little bit of an influence on it... but designing and maintaining it was all him. Normally, this part is very deep inside, though! All of us included."

Truly?

[He takes another glance around -- looking for any parallels to the plants of that long-lost greenhouse. And also maybe ferns.]

I... feel as though I should apologize for intruding. I'd mistaken this for a less guarded place, not for one that was more.

"It's not deep because it's vulnerable."

Upon closer inspection, this is a very well-tended garden; rather than everything just naturally growing perfect, there are little signs everywhere that someone has been working very hard to maintain it. Bent stems are propped up with little stakes rather than removed entirely, and anything spaced evenly does betray some signs that it was carefully measured out at one point. Rather than something inherently perfect it seems like something that someone worked very hard to present as perfect.

Some of the flowers are from Creation; some are from Estoria, and there's a decent amount of low-lying ground cover like ferns arranged in a pleasing way.

[Oh no. His eyes go all soft, looking that over.]

Still. When I have the chance to talk to him again personally, I will do so.

I'm not unfamiliar with plants, or with gardening. And he's put a great deal of work into this.

"I'm sure he'll understand, but I can only encourage speaking with him about it."

I can assure you I will.

[He looks to the remaining two paths.]

Though, if you will pardon me yet again, I'm interested to see whether this bowls-and-things-within-them theme will continue to play out.

"Of course! By all means."

[He bows again, and heads down the pavement path.]
