The door chimes in the flower shop.
"Ah! Welcome in! How can help you today?" The florist greets the new customer.
Standing in front of the florist is a blue dragon. He looked very worn out but he was trying his best to hide his tiredness.
"Umm... How are you doing?"
"Oh! I'm alright. sorry if I don't look my Sunday best. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night" The Dragon took a big breath in attempt to pull himself together.
"Oh that's okay. Are there any kinds of flowers you're looking for? Are you looking to give them to someone as a gift?"
"No..."
"I wish..." The dragon muttered under his breath.
"You wish?" the florist asked.
The dragon froze up, realizing he had said too much. "Uhh... I mean... I uhh..."
The florist seemed to understand the situation, and gave a smile in return. She grabbed a bouquet nearby and hand it to the dragon.
"That's... lavender?"
"Yep! I think you might like these"
"You think so?"
"Well I'm not sure what you're experiencing, but in the language of flowers, lavenders mean calmness, tranquility, waiting for love. I'm guessing your life is a bit hectic for the moment. Maybe try taking things slow. Life, love, or whatever that is troubling you"
"Love... Taking things slow..."
A faint glimmer of light arrives back in the dragon's eyes. It was to him like the florist can read his mind.
"I..." He returned with a smile "Thanks. this is perfect, it's what I'm looking for."
