[a simple black door sits in a wall where there was no door before. behind the door is what appears to be a garden... except that against the pitch sky and twinkling stars, the flowers are all aglow. there doesn't seem to be any magical property to them, aside from the luminescence. they all appear to be normal flowers otherwise, though there's a very wide variety throughout.

Nami is seated beneath a weeping willow in the center of the garden, which is glowing with a gentle pink light. a sketch book has been tossed into the small goldfish pond nearby.]

[Hey, remember this guy? You've probably talked to him for all of an hour, collectively. He's wandered into the garden and is taking his time poking around it, examining pretty much every flower he passes.]

[Riku's always willing to lend an ear if Nami's troubled. She was conveniently passing by and spotted the new door, which is always a source of interest. She quickly went from 'passing by' to 'wandering the garden with her jaw dropped at how pretty everything is'. But her mouth is closed now, and some distance in she senses Nami and makes her way toward him.]

[it's been a while since this guy's seen Nami - the one from their time or this one - which is most of why he's following the scent into this room. he's not in any hurry, stopping to admire the flowers and the sky up above, but slowly finds his way to the tree at the center. other people might immediately rescue the sketch book, but Axel just settles himself at a ninety degree angle from Nami, back against the trunk of the tree.]

I've never seen this room before, it's nice.

[Nami will be watching him by the time he gets near the tree, having realized someone else is in the garden now.]

[when she's close enough to see it, Nami will offer Riku a small smile. he doesn't seem to be in bad spirits, really, but the sketchbook in the pond says otherwise.]

I think it's new.

[he doesn't seem to mind the company, thankfully, and he appreciates the lack of comment on the sketchbook.]

It's a nice night for it, too. I'm glad spring'll be here soon.

[there's a rustling noise nearby, and some long orange ears appear in the middle of a cluster of glowing flowers. Apricot came with him, but is lingering to graze.]

[Riku stops once he spots Nami. He thought he was the only one in the garden as well.]

...Hi. I didn't know anyone else was in here. How long have you been there?

A few hours. This place has only been around for that long, as far as I know.

[the door showed up as he was walking past!]

Mm. I don't know if I care for the cold.

[he looks over at the noise, but isn't too surprised by what he sees. hopefully Apricot doesn't catch any of that glowy-ness from eating stuff here.]

I hear you there. It's alright in small amounts, but for a whole season it gets pretty boring and unpleasant.

[if Apricot has glowy poops later, baby Inaya is going to be so excited. Axel will be pretty amused also. Axel's sighing contentedly and tipping his head back to look up at the tree's blossoms, and the stars beyond.]

[It really does, and she gives him a smile back before looking to the pond. Then she frowns, but it's brief. She has more tact than that.]

Hey.

Ah. I hope it sticks around. It's kinda cool.

[He reaches up to tug lightly on one of the tree's branches, examining the glowing flowers on it. Nami doesn't seem to mind him so far, but he'll leave if he thinks that's wrong, or if he's asked to.]

It is. I wonder what it looks like during the day.

[if it ever even turns to day in here. the sun had already set inside when he came in.]

[one would certainly hope so!]

Hello. This is a nice place, isn't it?

[as long as baby Inaya doesn't eat the glowy poops.]

I didn't mind the snow, but by now it's just cold without.

[or, well, it was. it's definitely starting to get more spring-y.]

Yeah, it is. Did you just find it?

[Tonight, she means. She has no idea how long he's been in here.]

Yes. The door showed up as I was going past a few hours ago. I'm not sure if it's been here before.

Probably not as interesting, even if everything keeps glowing like this.

Maybe not. Maybe it was in a different area.

[She stops a few feet from him, gently brushing willow limbs out of her way.]

Mind if I sit?

[she might, but she has Axel's iron stomach, for the most part.]

Yeah.

[there's a pause (from Axel, at least), because there's only so much to say about the current weather before it gets tedious and also awkward. but then his gaze drifts back to the sketchbook in the pond.]

....so. Having an art block?

I'm not sure it turns to day. A glowing garden wouldn't have much point then.

Your company's always welcome, Riku.

Something like that.

[he's not looking at it, instead focusing on his knees.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[She moves closer and takes a seat, staring up at the tree from inside now.]
