Sapphire - Flora I

[22:43]<Mysterious_Mare>	An elegant golden maned mare in a business suit and skirt trots down the cafe street. She adjusts her glasses and looks around, seeming lost.
[22:44]?	Flora_Bloom blinks as she looks up from her table, looking to the mare and tilting her head. She finds the mare a bit attractive. But she looks away, not wanting to bother her.
[22:47]?	Mysterious_Mare looks over to the cafe, twirling a lock of her mane thinking. She sighs and decides to take an empty table.
[22:47]?	Flora_Bloom glances and gets up, working up a small ammount of courage. "Excuse me?" She asks the mare.
[22:50]?	Mysterious_Mare looks up, seeing Flora_Bloom and smiling slightly. "Yes?"
[22:50]<Flora_Bloom>	"Umm... I saw you out there... a-are you lost?"
[22:55]<Mysterious_Mare>	"Oh..." She glances away, bashful. "I am indeed. This settlement is so confusing. I was hoping to get myself a snack before I find my way, at least."
[22:55]?	Flora_Bloom nods. "I'm Flora, may I ask your name?"
[22:56]<Mysterious_Mare>	"I am Sapphire Spectacle. Nice to meet you, miss Flora." She smiles.
[22:58]?	Flora_Bloom smiles a bit. "Nice to meet you." She smiles. "So then, why are you here?"
[23:04]<Sapphire_Spectacle>	"I am seeking education. You see, I worked as a nurse for a settlement distant from this region, but the doctor can barely handle the amount of ponies who need his help. So I thought that if I could study properly, I could help him and the ponies back home." She tilts her head, holding her cheek. "Sometimes not even he knows what afflicts the ponies we help."
[23:05]?	Flora_Bloom nods. "Well one of the Academy schools can help you! I'm not too knowledgable about medicine, plants and such are my field."
[23:08]<Sapphire_Spectacle>	"Oh, have you studied there?" She leans forward. "Plants are fascinating, so many of them can help ponies through sickness and injures."
[23:09]?	Flora_Bloom smiles happily. "Why yes, well I studied at a bigger building but yes plants are so interesting! So many can help and hinder and some even kill, they are the most diverse life form on this planet. I love plants to the very core! I studied them for about 8 years of my life and now I'm exploring and identifying them out in the open!" She goes on like this for a bit
[23:13]?	Sapphire_Spectacle listens intently. "To think for that for a long era ponies had been deprived from the wonders of the natural world by fear of radiation and pony-made toxins." She nods
[23:14]?	Flora_Bloom nods happily. "Indeed! But now plants are regrowing and stronger than ever~!"
[23:18]?	Sapphire_Spectacle smiles widely, then ponders. "Dear, would you know somepony that could help me with my studies? To be fair, I fear that the time I stay away from my home only worsens the problem." She frowns
[23:18]?	Flora_Bloom thinks for a moment. "Well we have a doctor with us, but I'm afraid she might not be up for teaching you."
[23:20]?	Sapphire_Spectacle rubs her neck. "That is a shame. If at least I could find some books, though, it would be a start."
[23:20]?	Flora_Bloom nods. "Well the library in the Acadamey might have some." She smiles and gets up. "I could show you to it."
[23:23]<Sapphire_Spectacle>	"Oh, but I shouldn't impose like that. We just barely met." She looks surprised.
[23:23]?	Flora_Bloom nods. "But what would I do with you? Leave you to yourself?" She asks, smiling a bit
[23:26]<Sapphire_Spectacle>	"Oh, it's true. I wouldn't know where to start." She smiles. "You are so kind, Flora. Thank you so much. I should at least buy you a coffee for the trouble."
[23:27]?	Flora_Bloom smiles. "If you wish. You don't need to though."
[23:32]<Sapphire_Spectacle>	"Oh." She tilts her head. "Now that I think about it, weren't you having coffee with that lady?" She looks at Heartmend's direction. "Maybe we should leave that for another time."
[23:32]?	Flora_Bloom smiles a bit and chuckles. "She's the doctor of my group, we were just waiting on others to show up. I'm sure she won't mind if I step out for a moment."
[23:35]<Sapphire_Spectacle>	"Oh, so what about this? I can buy you a coffee another time and we go see the school now. I wouldn't want to make your friends wait too much." She smiles
[23:36]?	Flora_Bloom smiles and nods. "It's a date." She says, before covering her mouth. "S-sorry."
[23:37]?	Sapphire_Spectacle chuckles. "Why, a date sounds good to me?" She smiles kindly.
[23:37]?	Flora_Bloom blushes a bit. "A-alright."
