Location: Outlands: Waterfall Ruins
((April 3, 2521. Morning. Everyone welcome.))
The flowers at Mommy's grave had withered, and Blossom needed to find some more. She had heard from the nice Hunters that had helped her last time that there were some really pretty flowers. In fact, one of the flowers they had brought back had been extremely pretty!
The smell hadn't been anything special, but she was sure her mommy had loved the really pretty flowers. And it was pretty here too! It was so green, and there was water everywhere! Blossom glanced behind her at the door leading out of the Waterfall Ruins and back to Hunters' Camp. She wasn't going to go far, so she would be fine, right?
She was just going to grab some flowers, and bring them back for her mommy.

Meanwhile, this guy was totally fishing in the waterfall ruins area. He had nothing better to do in truth. Kinda felt bored today if anything. That and he had chosen to sleep here the night before, as evident by the camp site he had set up.
"...Seems like nothing's biting," he said to himself.
He turned his head and saw...wait what was a little girl doing in this area on her own? His head tilted to the side with a hint of mild curiosity on his face.

Blossom kept right on going through, kneeling close to the ground and crawling under ledges when even her small height wouldn't prevent her from hitting the top of the ledge. It wouldn't hurt, and she would get a little messy, but messy was fine, right? Ah! A flower! She inched towards the flower, avoiding any of the insect Mechaniloids that buzzed around her, before she came out in bright sunlight.
"Huh?"
Blinking, she stopped midcrawl and stared at the campsite and the man near her. Who was that? The man was looking back at her, but he wasn't leaping up and attacking her. That meant he wasn't a Maverick right? She blinked a few times at him, and then went inching towards the flower again. She didn't want to crush it by mistake...

First time anyone ever described him as a Man. After all, the guy was only 17. Guess he was kinda rugged looking from staying on a campsite though. That and the dark clothing. He pulled his line out of the water and set his fishing rod down. He got up and followed after the girl. When he got close enough, he spoke up.
"...What are you doing out here?" he spoke up in a dull tone.

A tiny girl could not tell the difference between an older teenager or a young adult. Either way, Blossom inched closer towards the flower as Nomine followed after her. After a bit, the girl blinked and turned around when he asked her that question. Weren't his eyes working?
"I'm picking flowers for Mommy," She said, pointing towards the flower that was now almost an arm's width away from her as if it was the most obviously thing in the world. What else would she be doing? She didn't know. "What are you doing out here?"

Nomine tilted his head at Blossom's response. "Flower picking?" There was a small pause as he thought about this before giving a "Huh."
He pointed to his camp site. "Been camping."
He walked a bit closer and looked at the flower Blossom was a tiny arm's length away and examined it. After a few seconds he looked to her and said to her, "I don't get it."

"Uh huh," Blossom said. She was picking flowers! She had to go and pick flowers, and it wasn't as if Hunters' Camp was far. She just needed to find a few and head back then. She looked back over at the campsite. Ah, he'd been camping? She'd heard that some people in the old days had done it for fun, but that made no sense to her.
"Why are you camping? Is it fun like they say it used to be?"
She watched him as he examined the flower, carefully. He'd better not pick it! That was her flower! She'd found it! After he backed off, she picked the flower, and held it carefully.
"Why?"

"I don't have a place to live. I've camped outside ever since I came here," he said with lackluster. Not like he even remembers if he had any family or friends here that he could borrow money from. And there're way too many people at where Pandora is living. Too loud for his taste/cough
He watched Blossom pick the flower and hold it. "Why...do you wanna pick flowers? I don't get it."

Blossom frowned. How could somebody not have a place to live? That was a really sad thing. Maybe he just needed to find a place to live that wasn't outside. What about his daddy, did he have one? Or a mommy? Or someone?
"Why? Can't you buy a house or something to live in?" It was puzzling her a bit. The little girl examined her lily for a moment, before blinking. His ears were working... right?
"I told you, I'm picking flowers for mommy."

He looked down at her. Did she not know how expensive houses are? Oh well. Might as well tell her. No harm in it.
"...Houses are a lot of money. I have...barely 200 EC on me. I live in that tent. That's something."
And indeed it was something to live in.
And she gave that answer again.
"...Why?"
That's all he could ask or say about that.

Of course she didn't. Blossom was seven. She had a vague concept of money and that you used EC to buy things, but other than that? Nope. She tilted her head as the man told her that houses cost too much EC to buy. Oh.
"Oh... 200 EC is too little? They must really cost a lot of money then!"
Blossom knitted her eyebrows as he asked her why. Well, she was picking flowers for mommy. Maybe she should tell him why she was picking those specific flowers?
"These are mommy's favorite flowers, so I'm getting them for her."

"...Pretty much."
That was his only reply to her about the house comment. No need to tell her that homes could actually cost close to 100 times as much as the EC he has in his pockets.
"...Favorite huh? This the only place you can get them?"
A waterfall ruin filled area loaded with Mavericks the only place she can get these flowers? If so then...maybe he'll stick around for a while. Who wants to get yelled at for letting some little girl wander around in such a dangerous place and get hurt or killed?

Blossom didn't reply on the topic of the house, either. That conversation was over with, as far as the little girl was concerned. Her eyes would only pop out of her head in shock if he told her that houses cost one hundred times as much as 200 EC. They really were expensive things, not that Blossom completely understood that.
"Mmm..." The girl thought about it for a moment. Where had Ashe and Grey gotten those flowers...? Aha! "No it's not. That big tower not far from here also has some flowers, but it's scary and there's lots of spikes in there. There's also that area that used to float in the sky, but that's really far from here and I'd have to take the train."
So by process of elimination, she had come here. The area with the fewest Mavericks, lots of wildlife, and not too far.

Well it's not like Nomine had known what was wrong with any of those areas...Like a perverted Pseuderoid flower that was in that spikey tower place...or that said floating area was caused by a Model W Fragment of some sort.
"So you came here instead." He said that dryly, granted...he doesn't say much anyways. But hey, he speaks a LITTLE bit more than this little girl's father now doesn't he?
He looked back to his campsite and at his fishing rod. He was slightly tempted to just go back to fishing since he hasn't eaten yet, but he looked back down to her. "How many do you need?"

Blossom didn't know that there were more issues with those areas, either. Only that she didn't want to deal with spikes and creepy plants, and that she didn't want to deal with ruined places that she could get stuck in. The waterfalls, though? Full of life, and it wasn't that far from Hunters' Camp. She would be fine. She believed.
"Uh huh. I came here." Way to state the obvious, Nomine. Either way, Blossom didn't mind him when he didn't want to talk a lot. Holding that flower in her hand, she began to look around for a couple more.
"Three," She said. "I found one lily so two more lilies!" She'd prefer different colors, but Blossom would take what she could get.
