[There's an open door in the manor that really should lead to some godforsaken utility closet! Instead, it's open to a fairly hot summer day, with a bright blue, cloudless sky. There's a smell of smoke and black powder to the air in some areas, but it is generally a nice enough day. Honestly, it's kind of eerie! There's a winding path with greenery around it, forming a giant spiral shape leading to a giant tower with an even larger clock in the center of it.

If you look for people, there is exactly one, and she is on the roof of a whitewashed, two-story cottage with a thatched roof and a few outbuildings. There's a cloth spread out under her, and she is very obviously soaking up the sun. Anyone who knows Tris might see a few telltale signs of discontent- and Briar will most assuredly be able to tell that Tris is shaken.

But it's not nearly as bad as it could be. Enjoy your walled temple community visit!]

I'm merchant. Don't call me a lady.

[Tris is pointing out a path.] Just stay out of where there are obviously cultivated plants.

[He was just about to step off the path when she said that and nearly loses his balance from the sudden stop.]

Considered taken, merchant. Still, why must I stay on this path other than to not want to invite ire from your brother person?

Because he's in the manor, and because he is to plants what I am to the weather. Also, the memory of our foster-mother would haunt us forever and we might have to do something ridiculous like hang ourselves in the well by our ankles.

Oh.

[None of that really made any sense to him but who was he to stomp on someone else's domain and not give a second thought. As selfish as he was, he was also seriously outmatched here.]

It would be a shame to illicit any negative response to the later, eh?

[Taking a few steps back, he certainly didn't want to cause any unnecessary reactions.]

My brother has magic with plants, and this garden is- one of our foster-mothers', from a few years gone. She also has the green magic- magic with plants.

[Not realizing that there was such a thing as separate magic, Jack grins.]

As long as no chickens appear, I'm good wiff it.

[And there's a good reason he doesn't like chickens.]
