[Her camera isn't on her, it's showing off the decor of her room.  There's various coloured fabric hung up to give the place a tent-like feel and various coloured strings of lights strewn up behind said bits of fabric.  It has a nice cozy feel but Taicea has a frown on her face when she turns the camera back to herself.

Something else is noticeable about her, she's looking paler than usual.]

I thought I would make this place feel more like home but it's missing some very important things, plants.  I would like to keep some here in my room but without proper sunlight they'll wither.  If anyone could help with that I'd be very thankful.  [She offers a smile and turns the camera back around.]

I was thinking about putting them against this wall and over here too. [She turns the camera to the other side of the room.]  I hope neither of my roommates have allergies to any plants.  I don't plan on bringing in anything poisonous, just some flowers and maybe fruit or vegetable bearing plants.  If I can find any.

[She turns the camera back to herself and offers another smile.]  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, they make lamps for that very reason. Not the regular ones, mind you, but I'm sure I could dig up one or two of the sort you need.

[After a beat, gently. ] For a price. A very modest price.

Really?! [Well that makes her perk up, although she's still rather pale and a little wilted looking.

And then there's the catch. She frowns, eying her tablet.] ...How much?

[totallytrustworthy]

Oh, not much. 80 marques ought to cover it. Don't worry, darling, I'm not trying to fleece you, just cover the cost of the time it'll take to track down something proper that won't break a day or so in.

This future just isn't into the whole wildlife routine, so finding something like that? Yeah, tricky business.

Eighty? That's not a log is it? [She frowns. She has no idea how the money works here. It's not as simply as back home.]

Oh she's so darling *u*

[squint]

A-- what? Sorry, you're gonna have to run that by me again.

C:

[nonedible]

[She looks confused.] Huh?

[totallytrustworthy]

We are still talking about money, right?

[nonedible]

...Yes?

[totallytrustworthy]

So then where exactly did a log fit into this conversation...?

[Unless, of course, it's some alien slang she's never heard of. Thanks to the sort the Initiative drags in, there's a lot of that.]

[nonedible]

[She blinks and continues to look confused for a moment before her eyes grow wide.]

Oh! My fronds! I meant lot. My apologies for the pun, sometimes they slip out without my realizing.

Your fron-- [It takes Chloe a moment, not just for the wordplay to sink in, but also-- well, it's all plants, isn't it? Not hard for Chloe to follow exactly why. Still, she's had time to come to grips with the whole non-human crowd; she's not as skittish as she used to be.

There's just a slight brow raise and an easy chuckle before she responds, shaking her head.]

Well you're nothing short of adorable, aren't you? No worries; it's hardly a dent in your monthly allowance. Trust me.

[nonedible]

Adorable? I have been called that before, I'm not sure I understand why.

[She gives a nod, smiling. Being told it isn't that much puts her at ease.] Very well. How long do you think it'll take to get what you need?
