Iris had heard about the topiary garden from older students, but this was the first time she’d found the time and motivation to wander in on her own. It was quiet here, save for the occasional brustle of branches and leaves as the topiary moved, and the cool air brushed her cheeks as she walked along the stone paths, her notebook tucked under her arm but ready to whip out should the opportunity present itself. The trees surrounding the garden were tall and spindly, with various shapes of hedges and bushes sculpted into fantastic creatures. Some looked like ordinary animals (rabbits, foxes) but others were more peculiar, like a peacock whose tail was splayed out in intricate curls of green. Iris marveled at the artistic detail as her gaze lingered on a particularly large topiary that seemed to be a stag, the antlers twisting and reaching high into the air. She jotted a few quick notes in her notebook, considered how much Nyle must positively adore this place, then glanced around to see if there were any more unusual pieces she hadn’t yet spotted.

Instead she spotted another magnificent creature.

Iris blinked, eyes widening behind her glasses when she heard TJ humming quietly among all the flora, his lanky figure almost blending in with the shadows of the trees. It was hard to miss him, though - his blond hair practically glowed in the soft afternoon sunlight, and his robes billowed slightly in the breeze.

“TJ, hi!” Iris smiled brightly, stepping closer. “I didn’t know this place was so popular.” She peered over a bit to try and sneak a peek at his piece of parchment. "What are you working on?"
