Unlikely Employee
When: Present Day Where: New York (Morning) - Sprouting Stems Flower Shop With: Groot @l-groot
If nothing else, killing paid enough for a day job cover.
Kid had needed an easier way to take on jobs and have some form of base aside from his few safe houses, his love of flowers came back to him in spades and the language of flowers made for excellent covert communication - thus, Sprouting Stems had been born. It was a small space that did little trade on the day compared to requested orders and he enjoyed the natural peace of it; the beauty of flowers was one of the few good memories of his childhood.
Stepping into the back his glaze flitted up at the living tree and he spoke a quite, "Good morning, Groot." in his southern drawl, hefting a bag of compost to prep some display pieces, "Everything stay safe while I was gone?" It was a strange arrangement the pair had, but his occasional employee was handy for covering the shop when he was called away.
