the weather had settled enough for arthur to return to his rooftop garden. so naturally, that’s where he stayed until he hadn’t any more plants to water, and then some time still. his office had been gathering dust for a while -- the quell had everyone stressed, and arthur was growing increasingly suspicious at the idea someone might actually try to visit the tower therapist one of these days, so he made a point of never being that easy to find.
it only seemed ironic then, that he would be the one to approach someone else, a upset-looking woman that was probably as keen on having some alone time as arthur had been. maybe trying to console people came somewhat naturally to him after all -- just not when it was anywhere near his office.
“wanna water some plants with me ?? apparently that’s meant to be pretty calming,” he gently suggested, already holding up a second watering can for the stranger.
