(It's no big deal I've been reading most of today lol)
Courtney nodded, "It's kind of sad you don't have a pet but then again working with all those animals must make up for some of it"
In the distance Courtney swore they could start seeing some greenery, "Oh hey I think that's it!" They said a little too enthusiastic and maybe a little too loud as well 'Oops' they thought smiling sheepishly

Courtney smiled and followed Sutton towards the two guards. They wondered what it must've been like just standing there all day for a job. While it seemed simple they figured it must've gotten boring eventually.
Going through the door Courtney couldn't help but let out a small gasping noise, it was still as incredible as the short peak from the tour. "I just love the outdoors y'know?" They said

Courtney nodded their head, "To be honest most of our outdoors is just grass and trees this is like a fantasy land" they agreed walking over to a set of flowers and sniffing them "I bet Alphonse would've loved this at least" they muttered
"Do you have a favorite flower?" Courtney quickly asked to cover up their mumbling

Courtney nodded listening to Sutton talk. Her brothers sounded like something Al and them would do one occasions as kids but way messier so they couldn't help but let out a small laugh to themselves. "I don't think I've ever seen one of those in real life" Courtney said straining to remember what that flower looked like, "It's funny I can see something I like but I couldn't remember what it was called if you asked me"

"I definitely know what you mean" they agreed with a warm smile, "I can't get enough of sunflowers though. Yeah it seems basic flower but now only are they pretty but their seeds are delicious"
Courtney patted their stomach a little just thinking about it
"And when they grow extra tall..." The whistled, "That's one impressive flower"

(Rodger that I hope you have fun!!)
"Well technically you could cook them sometimes my father would put it on top of pies but just eating them as is or roasted is pretty good too," they explained pausing a minute to think, "y'know I think I've heard you can eat like lavender but the only other flower I know for certain are roses in jams"
Courtney remembered when they were extra small before their mother died she made them all sorts of jams

(exhaustion sucks lol I feel the no signal tho it seems to happen anytime in not near home xD)
At the sound of lavender and rose baths Courtney wiggled her eyebrows and joked, "Ooo you're quite fancy aren't you"
Teasing was another part of Courtney's nature so they couldn't help themselves.
"As for the jams, it's been a long while but when I was small my mother made rose jams a few times before. If I remember correctly they were quite delicious. Lavenders another story though" they explained making a face, "I've never fancied it myself the guys did though"
Courtney was far from a picky eater so if there was something they didn't like they really didn't like it in any form

[ I burn sooooo easily and being out in the heat tends to make me really sick really fast. The heat index says it's 98 degrees right now and feels like 105-110 I think? Plus add in the lovely humidity from living in the southeast and it makes a great combo, so this is fine xD ]
Sutton's face began turning a little red in embarrassment at Courtney's teasing, though she didn't know why. "My mother's favorite flower is a rose so we always have them in the house. Every now and then she'll draw baths for my sister and I and put a few of the petals in the water. It's not often, more for birthdays or if we're sad or sick or something small like that to help us cheer up and feel a little better. Lavender baths are even more rare, but I have had a few. The lavender makes your skin soooo soft and it smells so much better than roses to me, but lavender is so expensive it makes the baths just a bit more special." She began to ramble on with a small smile on her face, remembering all the times she had her sister had pampering days and were just able to relax with their mom. Hearing Courtney talk about their exoerience with lavender made Sutton giggle, she couldn't imagine eating such a perfumey flower. "My mom isn't much of a cook, that's more of mine or my dad's job back home. If you put him in the kitchen with only a few ingredients he'll find some way to make a delicious meal out of them. He creates crazy new foods all the time, I think in another life he would be a chef somewhere rather than a veterinarian. Although he has made some homemade dog treats before that I tried and they're honestly really deliious."

(Holy cow o.o I know there's like a heat front or something in places so I'm like no outside but that is wow)
Courtney listened to every word out of Sutton's mouth smiling more than they thought they would've with someone they had just met. "It sounds like you can have a lot of fun back home your family sounds delightful. Maybe I'll have to follow you back there to have some of that delicious food hm?"
'Okay Courtney what's with all the teasing?' they thought briefly before continuing the conversation
"I'm very curious on the dog treats though, not to be rude but it sounds like a strange thing to try?"
They couldn't even imagine what would make any sort of animal food delicious. I mean sure they shared food with the duck but the duck are people food so it wasn't the same.

[ What's funny is we actually have a cold front coming in xD It's pushing all the rain from Hurricane Barry away from us but who knows if it'll actually cool down at all. It's apparently been raining back home really bad but there's only been a few showers here and the water is warm, it's not even cold rain. ]
"Growing up in a house of seven there was always something going on. Total there's five of us, I'm the second oldest and the youngest is my only sister. It's never quiet ack home, someone is always getting into some sort of trouble. But I love them all so much." Sutton couldn't help but smile when talking about her family, although Courtney's comment about following her home made her laugh just a bit. "I don't know, you might get tired of the gloomy weather pretty quick. It's always dark and rainy up there, it's rare if there's a sunny day to even go and enjoy the beach." Sutton on the other hand enjoyed the gloomy days, she wasn't too big on the sunshine since she burned so easy. "The dog treats sound crazy, I know, but the ones my dad make are sort of like... a cookie or a biscuit that sometimes have a tiny bit of honey or peanut butter in them when we can find peanut butter. They're actaully really good, and they're made out of normal ingredients so it's not exactly like you're eating anything crazy."

(I officially don't understand the chaos that is the weather lol all I know is ive started my I'm ready for fall campaign looool)
Courtney grinned at the description of Sutton's family, they'd always actually liked the mischeif of being around people. "I have to admit you might be right on something, I'd probably go stir crazy being inside with all of the rain. Once my friend made me go out in the rain with him and let me say after getting sick for a week I will never do that again" they chuckled, "Besides I love laying in the grass too much" Courtney added wandering to see if there was somewhere they could plop down by the flowers
"That sounds more reasonable then dog food dog treats y'know?" Courtney said raising an eyebrow to themselves at their wording, "like I could eat peanut butter and honey for days....with milk of course."

[ I don't understand it either but I'm sooo ready for fall ]
"I honestly love the rain - the sound, how it makes the air smell, the feeling of the raindrops as they fall - it's my favorite weather to walk around in. I must sound crazy, my family thinks I am sometimes, but I love rainy days." Sutton was one who preferred to sit inside and read during sunny days and be out and about when it was storming. The weather in Angeles is was so different than the weather back home, so she felt a little odd being outside during the day. "Peanut butter isn't my favorite, but I do like honey. Oh! And strawberries too, I think strawberries are my favorite food out of them all." She couldn't help but get excited the more they talked about food, food always made her excited. "Would you like to sit over there? My feet are getting a little tired, I'm not used to wearing heels so much." Letting out a small chuckle she motioned towards a stone bench no too far ahead of them.

"It's like we're weather opposites" Courtney laughed a little. They actually liked when people were slightly different from themselves it helped them understand why others liked other things they might not. "Don't get me started on strawberries they're one of the fruits you can do almost anything with but then just plain is still so good" Oh what they would give to have some fresh strawberries from the market.
Courtney nodded their head and followed towards the bench, "Heels are like way out of my range it's like I have no balance" Courtney had made their dad find nice shoes that weren't heels just in case considering the one pair they tried to walk in at the farm ended up with them landed face first almost every time.

(It's alright lol also I wanted to ask if you wanted to insert other characters sometime?)
Courtney let out a content sigh when they sat before rubbing the back of their neck, "Maybe I'll try some more since I'm here, though I definitely agree with the sorry feet they're like all style no comfort" they laughed, "like who made those and said these are good?"

(maybe the palace guard or prince I'm not sure xD I also want to throw in Willhelm somehow lol)
"Maybe since she's the queen she can have them specially made to be comfortable?" Courtney agreed before smiling devilishly, "or maybe after wearing them so long they've become part of her feet" they joked trying to hold back laughter at the thought
