Lan was contemplating her own arrangement. Something was off. One thing likely, one small thing was off and she couldn't find it and it was driving her insane. One wrong flower, one stem too long could ruin the whole thing and she refused anything short of perfect. She was half tempted to just start over, or mess it all up and then try to fix that. Immaturity, she'd find her mistake. Fix it, and then- A small leaf she plucked it, leaned back and-
No. No she'd just made it worse. She'd been too hasty in her decision. But- there it was, the discolored stem that was ruining the whole thing. Quickly removing it, replacing it and then altering the section just so. A slow spin and a small smile formed on her face. yes, much better. This was perfect. Per- a grunt, gold eyes snapped to the source of the noise. A horsewoman, her flowers in.. disarray. She looked to be struggling as well. A thin line formed on her lips. This would not do. A conquestian horsewoman needed to learn such skills. Looking to her own -clearly perfect flowers-, Lan took it upon herself to 'help'. "Try removing it and putting it back in."

Ying had been staring at her flowers quite thoughtfully when someone came up behind her and made her jump and give a little embarrassing squeak of fright. When she turned to face her assailant, blonde hair and a golden headpiece gave it away entirely.
"Oh, it is just you Lan," Ying said, almost sounding relieved. She turned back to face her flowers with a frown. It was true, she needed much help in the ways of flower arranging. She could pick out cute arrangements, ones that would catch the eyes and be pleasing to a customer, but arranging them to having meaning and perfection was just ... bleh.
She took the orange flower out and stared at it for a moment, then put it back in. Ying couldn't even see a difference. She looked back at the blonde Conquestian and gave her a look that said, now what?

"Oh," Ying said, not really sure how to comment on the insanity haunted house events. She hadn't gone- instead she'd been stationed back at home to defend the herd- so the traumas of the house were a complete mystery to her.
Luckily Lan moved on to her robe, and that was something Ying could talk about for ages. Her awkward demeanor immediately perked up, eager to please her elder companion. "Yes! We found a beautiful swatch of golden thread lace in Halloween that we tapered along the edges so-" She looked up at Lan and realized her tailor-talk was falling on flat ears.
She moved the white flower out and put the yellow one back in. She liked that flower, thank you very much. "My brother and I are working hard to raise what money we can. It is fortunate that regardless of ... circumstance, people will always need clothing." A secret smile creased her face. Yes, Ying and Jing weren't well to do by any means, but they were certainly more successful than some of the other artisans who had specialized too deeply.
Ying leaned closer to Lan, confiding gossip in her. "Sometimes I do not like living so close to the war clan. I fear for their shower stalls- that is, when they finally take one."

Ying was right. Lan had 0 idea what she was going on about when it came to tailoring, aside from ‘yes it will look good and you will look good in it and that color is pretty do you want it yes you do okay.’ As white was replaced with yellow there was a small yet audible sigh as Lan attempted to make it work. Hands fussing in what wasn’t her’s to fuss with. Organic yet coordinated, it was a delicate art. “Well, as always you have my patronage, and I do tell others that if they must have any work done to go to you and your brother. Really, the only obvious choice if you want quality I tell them. Others? Far sub par.” She bent a blade of grass just so. Leaving the arraignment alone.
“Before and after, you two proved to be some of the most skilled, and you were always getting better as well. One day I am willing to bed a few tokens you will design the emperor’s robe’s.” This a hushed whisper paired with a very hidden smile. She did think fondly of the twins, and the idea of her cousin, as much as he somewhat terrified her, to one day take the title he was born to do.. It was a nice thought.
Gossip was greeted with a open smirk. “Oh? See-“ She giggled, whispering back, “-I don’t mind them so long as I don’t have to smell them. Their males all.. so keen to showing off just why their fighters are so renowned you know?” Another giggle.
Lan liked certain things. And what she saw time to time, she liked.
