"I'm gonna plant a garden when I get out of here," Cally said, awe on her face. "I can live in some small cottage in the woods and I'll have a garden behind it just like this one. You can help me plant it, too! We can grow the garden together."
“T-together?” She asked, looking at Cally. She didn’t smile, even though she wanted too. She kept her face neutral.
Cally smiled brightly. "Yeah! I don't actually know how to garden, and if you don't then we can screw up gardening together, and it'll be even bigger than this one!"
Andion blinked, “So… we’ll make a garden at your house? Together?”
Cally's grin only brightened. "Well, I don't actually have a house yet, but we can find some abandoned cottage and I can live there. And yeah, of course we'll plant the garden together. You think I'm doing all that manual labor alone?"
Andion blinked again, “A-Alright.” She replied, rubbing at her neck with her free hand.
"Do you think we can get the same flowers they have here? Where do you guys get the seeds, anywhere?" Cally said, glancing back at the plants. "Or does all of this naturally grow in the area?"
“We buy some of the seeds. Others grow naturally.” She said, shrugging one shoulder
"You can be my seed dealer." Cally said, already planning it out in her head.
Andion laughed a little, “Alright, I’ll be your seed dealer.”
"Great!" Cally said. She looked at the garden for another moment before turning back to Andion. "Can we make my garden look like this one?"
Andion shrugged, “Whatever you want to do, I can help with I guess.”
"You better." Cally teased. "I could stay here forever. Or is there something else you wanted to show me?"
“You’ve seen the areas we can go to without getting caught, so it depends if you want to go back to the house or stay here.” Andion replied.
"What do you want to do?" Cally asked, "this is your home, after all."
“There is one more place I want to show you.” Andion said, a small smile on her face.
Cally squeezed Andion's hand, her eyes alight with excitement. "Let's go!"
Andion led Calky through the rest of the garden, the houses started to dwindle our and soon grassy plains started to come into view. Mountains loomed in the distance and a glistening river ran through the plains, “Have you ever seen a ghost leopard before?” Andion asked as they walked.
"No," Cally said, curious. "What is it?"
“Giant cats, as white as snow and live up in those mountains. If we’re lucky we’ll see them.” She explained.
Cally looked around at the mountains. "Have you ever seen them?"
Andion nodded, “I have, and I’m sure you’ll be able to see them today.”
Cally nodded. She pointed up at something moving along the snowy mountains. "Is that one?" She asked, unable to keep the excitement out of her voice.
Andion smiled, “It is. Let’s get closer.” She took Cally’s hand and led them closer to the mountains. More leopards started to come into view the closer they got.
Cally gasped. "They're beautiful!" She said, looking quickly from Andion and back to the leopards.
