Iracebeth had deliberately hidden herself away in the university greenhouse to study in peace, seated near the back beneath twisting ivy and stained glass ceilings painted gold by the late afternoon light. The quiet had almost been pleasant.
Then came the crash.
Her crimson eyes lifted slowly from the page just in time to watch a flowerpot shatter against the floor, soil scattering everywhere while several glowing lights darted wildly upward in panic.
A long silence followed.
Iracebeth stared at the scene before finally closing her book with careful precision.
“…I am almost afraid to ask how you managed that.”
Despite the dryness in her tone, there was no real cruelty behind it — only tired curiosity as she rose from her seat and crouched beside one of the overturned plants, gently brushing dirt from its leaves with surprising care.
Another glowing light zipped past her face. Iracebeth blinked once.
“…Either I have finally lost my mind from exam stress, or your plants are actively sparkling.”

[ ミ♡ ] ➣ @tobehead ( id : iracebeth ! ) alvina didn't mean to make too much noise . she had tried out a new experiment . maybe it wasn't the best choice , considering it had been in the greenhouse . but , it definitely shattered the pot like she planned . but , she barely realized that there was anyone else in the room . maybe she should be paid much more attention to something like that . not only did her pot shatter , but the plant that had been inside the pot was sparkling . it was another theory . she used the pixie dust that she had . it didn't work on her , so she had to test it to see if it worked on anything else . and well , it worked on the plant . but not for long . not the result that she expected . alvina then turned to the voice . she opened her mouth , turning back to the plant , trying to think of ways she could possibly explain this . she cleared her throat . " pixie dust , " she said back quietly , " that's why the plant is sparkling right now . " she looked back at the poor plant . alvina walked over to it, cleaning up the dirt that was on the ground . " i was ... merely doing an experiment , see ? " she told the other , " i wanted to see if that pot would float if i sprinkled it in . " she managed to plant the flower in another empty pot . " looked like it worked for only a a little bit . "
