Earlier that day Copia had come to collect Amber from her room to find out what her talent was besides music. The two were on a walk throughout the ministry when they came upon two sisters who were having trouble making flower arrangements. "Sisters, if I may I might be of some assistance." Amber stepped away from Papa looking at the flowers that were laid on the table along with multiple vases.
Placing the black calla lilies in first followed by the ghost pipe, red gladiolus, hellebore, and a few baby's breaths along with greenery to fill in spaces. "What do you think?" Amber turned towards the sisters who stood there impressed. "It's beautiful, the only other ghoul that can make flower arrangements as pretty as this Mountain. Are you an Earth ghoul?" The shorter sister asked, stepping forward and feeling the petals of the flowers.
"No but I spend time with a multi ghoul that's an earth ghoul," Amber explained as Papa watched from the other side of the hallway with a smile. "My dear is this something that you enjoy doing?" He asked looking over towards the table where the flowers lay. "Yes, it is Papa." A smile graced the uncovered part of her face as they brought a flower to Papa and handed one to him. "Thanks, little one. You wouldn't mind overseeing the flower arrangements would you?" He thanked the ghoulette holding the lily between his fingers as he asked another question. "I'd love to! If the flowers are dying before we change them do we get Asmodeus or Mountain?" This caught the sisters' attention. "Asmodeus? Is that the ghoul you spend time with?" The sister from before asked. "Yes he should be around the ministry but if not he likes his space." Amber shrugged. "How many were summoned?" The other sister asked. "Me and two others." The answer satisfied them and I followed Papa as he explained what I would be doing while overseeing flower arrangements.
Being on the topside was better than the pit. As we entered his office he placed his hand on four books. "Now these books I'd like for you to give to your packmates. It will help when you understand things that even you didn't know about your species." The ghoulette nodded and scooped up the books in one go. "I'll make sure they read them, Papa. Is that all?" Before Amber could get an answer the door slammed open and in marched the fire ghoul. "Copia I'm about to up here with this shit! Can we switch Twenties out for another song?" The short ghoul stopped rambling when he noticed Amber standing off to the side with books in her hands. "Oh, I didn't know you had anyone in." He dropped his hands to his side. "Sodo this is Amber she will be overseeing the flower arrangements here for big events. Will you escort her back to the ghoul's wing please?" A smile graced his face. It was off-putting the way he smiled. The little fire imp nodded and waved for Amber to follow him.
As they walked together the fire ghoul didn't say a word. "You know about mates right?" Sodo broke the silence with a smirk on his face. "Yeah but the younger ones don't, that's why I have the books." Amber deadpanned. "I know something you don't~" Sodo teased. "What that multi ghoul that was by the summoning circle is my mate?" Amber smirked at the look of shock on Sodo's face. "Well, I still know something that you don't!" He stomped his boot on the marble floors.
"What about you hmm? Have you talked to your mate yet?"Amber teased the fire ghoul. "That's none of your business thank you!" He crossed his arms across his chest. "Mhmm you're just scared I promise I bet whoever your mate is a nice person they don't bite." Shocking the ghoul even more as he turned around facing them slowly opened his mouth then quickly closed it and went back to walking.
"Suree. Do you have to drop the books off now?" Sodo changed the topic. "Do you know where the gardens are? I heard one of the siblings say that Mountain was with Ozzie." The fire ghoul nodded and turned to the right and out the second archway. "Be Careful trying to give Ozzie the book. Mountain knows that Ozzie is his mate; he might not want Ozzie to know just yet. So just give Ozzie the book and tell him to look through it later other than that follow this dirt path to the greenhouse. I'll be here waiting for you so you can drop off the other books." Amber left Sodo on the steps and followed the dirt path.
The sound of voices got louder the closer she got. Peeking her head into the greenhouse her eyes settled on a wide sparkly-eyed Ozzie who was watching Mountain with a smile on their face. They took the flowers, placing them along their horns and giggling. "Look Mountain, I'm covered in flowers." He tilts his head for Mountain to see.
"Deus! Can you come here please?" Ozzie's head snapped towards Amber, his smile growing bigger by the second as they climbed to their feet and walked over. "Do you like my flowers Mountain made?" Ozzie pointed at the flowers. " I love them, Deus. But Papa asked me to bring you this book and he said to have it read by next week." The taller ghoul nodded and took the book and placed it on a potted plant nearby. "Okay, I'll read it!" The ghoul waved bye and sat back in front of Mountain. The Earth ghoul looked towards Amber and mouthed a thank you. Amber sent him a wink and turned following the same path back to the steps she left Sodo. "Oh thank Lucy I thought I was going to have to get Aether and Swiss to calm Mountain down." This made Amber flinch. "Yeah no that wouldn't have been a good idea Anyways. You would've scared Ozzie." They started walking back inside heading towards the ghoul's wing.
"What do you mean scared Ozzie?" The fire ghoul asked. "Ozzie isn't fond of quintessence ghouls." Fumbling with words without giving them away. "The pit wasn't kind to Asmodeus and Eros. Neither were the quintessence ghouls down there." Amber explained as they entered the hallway for the ghouls.
"If you want to know what happened to them, ask them. It's their place to tell this, not mine, and thanks for the company. Don't forget to talk to your mate, yeah?" She smiled, unbuckling the strap under her chin so she could take the helmet off, and closed the door behind her, not letting Sodo have a chance to say anything in retaliation.
