Dahlia's teasing was rewarded with a laugh and she found herself grinning broadly that he had not taken offense to it. She hadn't quite thought through teasing him as she might a sister or a friend, but it seemed easy to be around him so she supposed that was why she had done so.

"Blue?" She gasped in mock horror. "I do hope he was able to return to normal." She added. "It does make sense though. Not to subject them." And for her part, even knowing the dangers, she was still fairly certain she'd test anything Mr. Honeyduke put her way, if only because it gave her more of a chance to talk with him. Or write him, as the case had been until now.

And then the topic changed to her. "It suits me for now." Dahlia admitted with a sheepish smile, "But I'm certainly the least plant inclined of my family." Although until she was married the shop would have to do, not that she could tell him that. Perhaps it would be safe to add about baking though, she thought. "I'd much rather spend my time in a kitchen then with the greenhouses." For one thing, it made her sneeze less. For another she simply felt more comfortable.
