The flowers drew a smile back to her face. She wasn't planning on tarrying in the garden for long but it would have been a shame to have let this quiet moment pass by. She righted herself and praised the foliage a little more. "Carry on, we'll want everything to look nice and inviting for when our loved ones return." Sure it was a little silly, but it's not like she had an audience!

Alerted by the muted thud and the subsequent exclamation that came from behind her, Minnie's hands flew in front of her mouth as she turned toward the sounds, her skirts swirling as she moved. "Oh my stars!"

"Are you all right?" The words spilled off of her lips before she really had a chance to identify who she was speaking to. She moved closer, but stopped short when she spotted that iconic long black cloak. There really shouldn't have been anyone out in the gardens at this time, that coupled with the outfit made her extra suspicious as to his motivations for being here.

Still- that looked like a painful faceplant.
