🌹 Rose Giving A sprig of thyme

[Charlotte Astor Williams]

Charlotte wasn't one to break the rules, but she didn't mind bending them. Maybe the older students had been joking when they said she could find the lady near the Forbidden Forest, but here Charlotte was, calling for a centaur in the middle of the day. "Aspen? Aspen?" she called around, a yellow rose dangling from her hand.

 

[Aspen]

Aspen was in the garden. with all the deliveries taking place the rose garden was in need of a lot oflove. whilst she may not have the magic or potions Ignacio had to encourage the growth she had her own magic and ways to help it. she tended to the roses tidying them up and giving each of them some of her strength she had gotten to the third last rose when she heard her name called a wa away. she apologised to the plant and said she would be back to help it and its remaining siblings before getting to her hooves and galloping towards the voice. Realising it was a student she had never seen before but who apparently knew her. "Hello. is everything okay" she asked wondering if maybe something was wrong in the forest. oe someone had got lost.

Charlotte looked up as the centaur approached her, surprised by how small she was compared to the woman. "Umm, do you know Aspen? I have a rose to give her," she said, holding out the yellow rose to show that she wasn't just here to go into the forest.

Thanks for being a great groundskeeper. And for not getting me in trouble when I went to study the forest's trees. - Oz Brambleheart
