First Floor Lobby, All day

The posters advertising the dance were still there as well as more balloons and fresh Valentine's themed baked goods. There were tickets available for the dance as well as the sign-up sheet for the rose sale.

Isabel sat back and sipped her coffee, trying to look cheerier then she felt.

[Handwaving getting tickets or flowers is just fine. But chatting is always welcome. I'll be around most of the day. Comments on the flower post ARE screened.]

"Valentine's Day. It's a holiday to celebrate romance," she explained, all the while reminding herself not to get to cynical. "So we're having a dance to celebrate and people can send flowers to their friends and the people they care about."

"Huh," Katara said thoughtfully. "The idea of romance? Or the specific. Cause I'm not romantic with anyone."

"Well if you listen to the greeting card companies, they'll make you feel like a failure as a person for not having found you one true love. Personally I say screw them, get some chocolate and hang out with your friends." And wow, so much for not being cynical.

Katara grinned. "I like that. So can I send roses to friends then? Even if they're not a boyfriend or something?"

"Oh absolutely," Isabel nodded. "I've sent a bunch to friends. It'll make them smile. That's what's important."

"Then can I send some?" She glanced at the order form with a bit of trepidation. "But...umm, if I tell you who they should go to, would you write on the form?"

"Sure," Isabel nodded. "You're still learning to write English?"

[identity profile] southernbender.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
She nodded. "I'm getting better. Sort of."

"If you need any help, I'd be more then willing to," she offered. "I remember trying to learn Spanish, and at least that used essentially the same alphabet."

"Thank you," Katara said with a smile. "I will definitely take you up on that." She looked at the list of flowers and their meanings and tried to figure it out. "I wouldn't want to send red flowers anyway. But I think...yellow to friends?"

"Yellow's good," Isabel agreed. "I think they're cheerful." Reaching for the paperwork, she looked up at Katara. "So who would you like to send them to?"

Katara leaned over and told Isabel who she wanted to send flowers too. "Does that work?" she asked.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's just perfect," she nodded. "I'm sure they'll love them."

[identity profile] southernbender.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Katara bounced and grinned. "Thank you for your help! I'm so excited."

"Not a problem. It's what I'm here," Isabel grinned back. "I hope I see you at the dance on Friday."
