"well, i can't say the building is my favorite style, but the garden is beautiful up here." sophie said, having never really enjoyed the way this city did modern things, but it was saved by the overflowing garden, making the trek over here all the more worth it. "how did you even find this place?"

"if it's floral, then perhaps." sophie nodded. she wasn't one to wear it daily, but for events like these they would use some. "i hope it's not too much."

"oh come on, i can promise you this is not the worst that we've been through." sophie knew her sister in law was struggling with the whole 'magic is real' situation, and sure, yes, sophie probably shouldn't have brought it up, but it didn't seem to be something that would cause this much trouble. "what's causing all this?"

"well, they smell incredible for starters." sophie smiled over at him as they grabbed one of the muffins off the plate, taking a bite before continuing. "these are really good, gu zi, really. i don't know why you were even worried about it! where did you get recipe for them, because i might steal it."

"xiao lanhua we cannot follow that trail, come on."

"how will that one ever fit inside the apartment, howl?" sophie laughed a little, seeing the tree she'd pointed out. it was taller than both of them combined-- "what about something like this one?" they pointed to one still slightly larger but far more reasonable.
