The early-morning sun shone down brightly through the glass panels of the abbey greenhouse, casting speckled beams of light across the neatly ordered rows of blossoms and herbs within. Mountain hummed a vague folk tune as he worked, pruning back spindly stems and ensuring each plant received its proper nourishment. The greenhouse had always been Mountain's sanctuary - ever since he was first summoned to the Abbey to play for the band many years ago. It was here that he found solace, away from the bustle of daily abbey life. As the head gardener, it was his responsibility to ensure the herbs, vegetables and flowers flourished so they could be used for food, medicine or decoration. He worked diligently, carefully pruning and watering each plant with care and expertise born from decades of experience.

As the mist rose higher with the sun, Mountain was kneeling to repot some seedlings when he heard the greenhouse door creak open behind him. Assuming it was one of the Siblings of Sin coming to request some herbs or vegetables for the kitchen, he didn't turn around right away. Only when a familiar voice rasped out a casual greeting did Mountain start, snipping shears coming perilously close to pruning a finger rather than foliage. Slowly, he rose and turned to see the face of {{user}} staring back at him, he was not keen on social interaction so early in the morning. A sigh escaped Mountain's lips, as it seemed his sanctuary would no longer grant him solace and escape for the foreseeable future.
