Gathering supplies (Felix)

Today Terra actually had a plan, besides wandering around doing nothing. In fact she had to gather some more plants, specifically seeds, because the need for them was growing. A little smile crossed the human face, she also sold the seeds to the herbs she made so her patients could also grow them. Sure though they could possibly just not come to her clinic anymore. But usually nobody could make the quantity they would need for really bad things. Nevermind they wouldn't have any of her healing energy within them. She had tried to put it in the seeds before, or plants to sell them, but the energy didn't stay with them for a long time.

She frowned however, she had not let people know about what she did, only saying there was a secret method passed down in her family for making them more potent while they grew so it was all natural. Thankfully the silly humans took that good reason and didn't bother her much about it... But when they did she was offered so much money from some companies, but she declined them. Quickly she shook her head though, there was no point in thinking about that past now she had seeds to find.

Felix was sitting on top of garden wall, enjoying the sun hitting his face as his thoughts wandered idly from one topic to another. It’s days like this I am glad to be free of the Gotei 13, nothing holding me back to not enjoy the day, no hollow’s that I have to purify, no plus or earthbound spirit that I have to cross over. Most of all I don’t have to keep anyone under surveillance unless I want to, in fact, maybe I will stalk a human today just for the hell of it. Felix smiled as he sat up and started looking for a good victim.

He spotted a young woman with green hair just across the garden, “Well looks like I found my target for today.” Felix grinned as he used shunpo to get to the other side of the massive garden. “Why hello there ma’am, if I may ask, what are you doing?” Felix asked but frowned as he remembered normal humans couldn’t see spirits so he fell back against the wall a little depressed. Well maybe if I sit here long enough maybe I will find out what she is doing. Right now it just looks like she is playing in the dirt.

Terra didn't really pay much attention, in fact she was very engrossed within her own little world of getting her herbs and digging in the ground with a little smile on her face. However she did hear something nearby... What was that she didn't know and she didn't really tune into it. But then someone was near and started to talk to her... Asking what she was doing? Slowly she looked up at the person who seemed to be a little.... troubled? She just gave a little smile and looked at him before she spoke up.

"Well I am gathering seeds and herbs, I need more stock for my clinic to help heal others. Is something troubling you?" Terra tilted her head to the side, she of course didn't know the reason was he thought she wouldn't respond. But even as she spoke, her hands went about their business, gently plucking here and there, grabbing some seeds. Anything she might need really, with only a few glances to make sure she was going after the right ones.

Felix almost fell over when the green haired woman responded to him, “Wait you can see me!?” Felix’s eyes were wide with surprise, “So…I guess I made a fool of myself here acting all depressed over nothing.” He grinned as he walked over and looked over her shoulder watching her deftly gather herbs with just the briefest of glances at her hands. Something deep inside of him stirred watched the young woman harvest these small plants.

Felix got down beside the woman resting gently on his knees as he started to harvest the same things with nimble fingers. Why is it when I see this I feel as if I need to help this young woman? What the hell am I doing? he wondered as he watched himself do something he had no conscious knowledge of ever doing before, yet his body knew the movements and so he let it flow almost methodically.

“So you run a clinic and you can see spirits…isn’t it kind of morbid seeing those you couldn’t leave their bodies?” Felix asked without taking his eyes from his hands.

Terra couldn't help but chuckle a little bit, ah so he was depressed because he thought she wouldn't be able to see him or respond to him. That spirit life must be lonely to those who are like that it seems. It was an interesting explanation and theory, though possibly only for those who stay for a long time. He even got down to help her with the collection of such herbs, her eyes glanced down to notice his hands doing not too bad of a job. "It helps if you gently squeeze the steam, twist it to break it, and the break being as far up the plant stem as possible. The plants react as if it had been nibbled on for breakfast by an animal that way."

She offered the advice freely though, it would hurt if he didn't really do that well of a job because she didn't want to have to replant them as well as hopefully have leftovers for her to plant. But then he spoke about how it was morbid that she ran a clinic and saw spirits. She merely shrugged before she spoke with a rather even and professional tone in her voice.

"Not really, if something I did wrong I could compensate the ones they left behind lots better, learn from mistakes, or learn more from what rankled them. Also give messages and goodbyes for senses of closure while being able to say they said it or something earlier when I took care of them. Also I got to say goodbye to my husband when he died.... So oddly enough it is a gift, most others don't get to do that if they die suddenly." It was odd how lately she was running into more and more of these spirits who just want to chat nowadays. Was it really that lonely of an afterlife? Or was it because of who she is that they were attracted and compelled to talk to her. Oh she hoped she didn't become known as the helper so much that every single one will come to her hoping for help....
