Summary: Zara doesn't understand how and why Amy takes her stress out on weeds.
Gardening
There's something relaxing about turning over the reddish soil and creating something new from the land. Before she had started work here, it had all appeared so barren, so inhospitable, that the idea of anything apart from the toughest of weeds surviving seemed like an impossibility.
Amy, though she's barely two Earth years old, has already seen many an impossible thing though. So when she saw the little plot of land, she saw it as a challenge rather than inconceivable. She knew from the moment she saw it that although it may take a little hard work and a lot of patience, that she would be able to work wonders with it.
And now her hard work is just beginning to pay off.
Zara found it irritating though. The only girl in the whole Academy who understood what it was like to have that same yearning for a powerful object shunning her simply to dig up weeds was frustrating. But when she dropped by Amy's little slice of paradise, she almost understood the appeal.
It wasn't until they were kneeling together, by a plot of particularly vibrant flowers, pulling out weeds, that she realised just how relaxing gardening was.
And of course, the sweet fruit is delicious too. Though, not quite as sweet as the delicate kiss from Amy afterwards.
