let the sun shine in

I don’t know, would it be?

Yeah, a little. I mean, it probably wouldn't be as weird at the lake, but it's still a little weird.

Really? You’re not disappointed you didn’t get to see more?

Well, I don't know you all that well, so wouldn't that be a little weird?

Oh my gods, that’s what I said, these should be made holidays.

They really should be, they don't happen all that often. You should totally feel honored, Solace.

It could’ve been a lot worse. 

Probably, but thankful it wasn't. -clears her throat awkwardly-

Give me a scale then. How often?

Like incredibly impressed? About two, maaaaybe three times a year.

It’s fine. You’re not the first girl to see me without a shirt on.

Well that certainly makes this... only slightly less awkward.

I’ll mark this day with a cross on my calendar and write to the President to make it a public holiday, Gardner, don’t you worry about it.

-she laughs lightly, nodding her head- You definitely should, because I'm definitely not easily impressed.

Ever been turned into a dandelion?

-her eyes widen a bit- No, I can't say I have been. I take it she turned you into a dandelion?

Since I technically don’t have the power to do this alone, I guess you won’t have any problem with it.

Ooh, that's great! Alright, I think it's safe to say that you've succeeded in impressing me, Will Solace. Enjoy it while you can.

You know my shirt’s on now. Why’d you turn around?

I actually don't know. -she turns around again, shaking her head- I'm sorry about that... again.

Unfortunately, I have trouble telling flowers from weeds. Thanks to Persephone, I have a bit of a prejudice against all of them.

-her brow furrows slightly in confusion, looking up at him- Really? How come?
