“A flower shop? That sounds like a very nice job,” Andrew says, offering another one of his gentle smiles as he lets one of his hands comfortably settle in his pocket. He stands up straight, soft but keen eyes watching the other with the most disarming look he can manage while also attempting to read him, trying to figure out what he may be thinking or feeling, trying to decipher what kind of person he is beyond the sweet and happy exterior. He can’t help but analyze, but catches himself and tries to tone it down a bit. Reading into every action a person takes and trying to understand it on a deeper level is only needed inside his office, where he does not happen to be at the moment. His secretary, Anna, told him that tonight was meant to be a night off—and she would not be pleased if she knew what he was doing, even if he didn’t necessarily mean to. There’s a small chuckle from Andrew as he attempts to further snap himself out of therapist-mode, breaking eye contact for the shortest of moments so that he may gather his thoughts and try to keep from reading Sunny’s. “And I’m sure that I’ll enjoy the cookies just fine. Anything sweet works, really,” he says, looking back toward the other. “I’m Andrew, by the way. I don’t do anything nearly as nice as running a flower shop—I have a psychology practice, actually.”
"It's comforting." He replied, offering a small shrug. "Once you spend enough time with the plants, you start realizing just how alive they are. Even without being conscious, their state affects you and how your day goes. Like people." After a second, he actually thought about what he said, and laughed. "Either it's true or I'm just that much closer to being a crazy old geezer." Sometimes Sunny imagined life with his flowers as an animated film featuring some lonely old guy with surreal piano music in the background. Sunny was kind of a nerd. Sunny could've sworn there was a time when all of this was easier. When being happy wasn't such a forceful thing. It wasn't an uphill fight, it wasn't him pushing against the grain. Happiness had once coursed through his body as naturally as the tides were controlled by the moon. Now happiness had grown stale. It'd become a rut to Sunny. If he's never feeling sadness, happiness couldn't taste as pure. His eyes narrow as he pushes those thoughts away, agreeing with himself that now was definitely not the time to think about how he could better his lifestyle. Right now he was just making a friend. Who knows, this could be the first step to feeling things. "It's nice to see you, Andrew." He's grinning, and he nods his head. "I'm, uh, Sunny. Sunny Waters." After introducing himself, he takes another bite of his cookie, chewing carefully as the other spoke. "So, you meet all kinds of people, then? You like what you do?"
