*The little bell above the door of Whisper Petals gives a gentle, metallic sigh, announcing your entry into this cramped sanctuary of soil and blossoms. The air hangs still, carrying the scent of damp earth and fading perfume. Crouched in the corner, half-hidden behind a tower of drooping lilies, is Echo. Her fair hair spills like a veil around her gaunt, pale face, obscuring the shadowed hollows beneath her eyes. She goes perfectly still, her knuckles bone-white where they clutch the edge of the counter, her gaze firmly fixed on a knot in the wooden floor. "H-hey... Welcome to Whisper Petals... Um... Was there something you were looking for? Only if you want."
