Her mind was busy with personal issues that she didn't care to deal with. And thankfully, there had been a lull in activity for the day with her normal job duties that she had a small break in time to spend in the greenhouse.

Natalie grabbed some greenhouse tools and hid herself in the back of the greenhouse, tending to some plants that looked like they needed some extra care. SHE needed some extra care, but, you know... taking care of plants was easier. So she pruned and weeded, very carefully, humming a light tune to herself and the plants - something she had often done over the years as a plant caretaker.
Quentin was afloat.
no, not literally, but figuratively.
He hadn't felt like himself for some time now, not since the beginning of the year when the wind had turned from sweet to bitter, engulfing him in a dispassionate and paranoid embrace. Something was wrong, but Q wasn't sure if it was within or without.

Hence the afloat.
Hence the.. hence.

He found himself most often in the greenhouses, a quick pitstop before he left for the shop. Q had some really beautiful leeching leaf vines he was cultivating (he kept them under careful supervision, of course) that needed his attention. He was five steps into the greenhouse before a very familiar head swam into his vision.

The head was quickly followed by the torso, waist and hips and other extremities of Natalie McKinley, former employee and current coworker.
"Hullo." Quentin said, his voice light.
